  1. Re:Odd Fascination on Inside the OpenSolaris Source Code · · Score: 1

    "That was a copyright violation and lawyers actually got to look at it. I'm surprised they didn't extend a "little professional curtesy" to Sony's lawyers, or whoever owns of all Carlin's work and inform them of your heinous crime so that they could begin pro$ecution against you."

    I would hope Carlin owns his works.

    Oh come off it, thatls not offtopic, it's funny. Best thing I've read in a week.

  3. Re:Submitter didn't realize on Video Game Mixlist · · Score: 1

    The "tetris theme" as many people call it, is Korobeiniki. It means "The Pedlars" and was a poem by Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov. A good write up of the story can be found here.

  4. Re:Video Game Music Terribly Underrated on Video Game Mixlist · · Score: 1

    What idiots are claiming that the Cowboy Bebop soundtracks (you know there is more then one cd right) are all Jazz? Seriously she bounds through musical styles all over the map in most of her works (macross plus is another example).

    Most music types dont work for everyone, but if you are willing to give it a chance even stuff you don't "like" can be apreciated for the work and technical execution the artist put into the work.

    Uematsu is Uematsu, his compositions have their moments, just like all composers.

    Chances are the problem is you found some fanboys who just want to hear what they "like" and no matter if it was Jazz or CLassical, if it was not J-pop they wouldnt give it the time of day. Hardly a crime of the artists you mention.

    "Nobody held by the U.S. or U.K. was starved, raped, tortured, or worked to death."

    True, but they were only treated slightly better then Native Americans were in the past.

    White people came and took their houses, businesses and all other posessions.

    Actions speak louder then words.

    And Americans funded it.

    Before any dunderhead Americans stamp their feat in anger assuming I'm a forigner, I'm also an American. I've been against support of the IRA since I was able to understand what was going on. What part of "Dont fucking do this" as more politely written in various scriptures dont people understand. I'm not even christian and I get it.

    How do these tell the difference between a billboard and say a larger then usual speed limit sign like the ones with 2 speeds listed and a paragraph aboutthe state penatly/laws on seatbelt/radar use?

    I can think of a number of safety issues they can cause.

    The anti-explosion spray was used at least once in the TV show from what I remember. I think he was tangling with either the Riddler or the Penguin and was in a lighthouse at the time he used it.

    Software like IPCOP is quite user friendly. There are solutions other then loding slackware and hand editing your setup for iptables.

  15. Re:And this is a surprise because? on BSA Piracy Study Deeply Flawed · · Score: 1

    Yah, it's a good thing alcohol and tobacco are never abused or lead to other activity, unlike all those "bad" drugs.

    Too late, Alcohol and Tobacco are both abused much like TV (whatever that means).

    If the laws are so effective we need to ban Alcohol and Tobacco so people can be more productive, after all most people will avoid them once they are labeled "bad" by law.

  16. Re:OTHER HEADLINES TODAY on BSA Piracy Study Deeply Flawed · · Score: 1

    Whie this is true, I'd liek to add that here in Columbus, Ohio. there has been a noticable upswing in previously banned weapons (now that the ban has lapsed) being used or found in realtion to crime.

    Living near the part of town where these gunfights and other events have taken place does not make me feel safe. Getting an AK for myself would not make me feel safer.

    I'm not saying ban guns, I'm saying that the ones previously rarely seen used are suddenly becoming much more in use.

    Any decent HDTV will upconvert. Sure it wont look as good as native, but from what I have seen of current sets that do that it looks good.

  21. Re:government pressured unethical scientific behav on Many Scientists Admit Unethical Practices · · Score: 1

    Sorry to be adding so late, but how the heck should his voice have weight enough to be repeatedly editing scientific reports.
    He had no scientific credentials, he was just a lobbyist for the oil industry. The government seems to be doing anything it can not to answer questions as to his credentials and why he was fit to edit the copy of scientific reports.

    Now (I'm sure completely unrelated to his services in the White House) he was given a high paying job over at Exxon Mobil. How does that show his objective skepticism. Just being against something does not make you a skeptic worth listening to.

    Shit, they guy is just an attorney, that IMO proves he is evil beyond redemption, a beast that can only act in it's own self interest at the cost of all others.

    Now I do agree with much of what you type scientifically (warming trends and whatnot) but for fucks sake, it's clear he is anything but what you want to believe he is.

    I guess in retrospect it is not surprise the White Houses policy on Global Warming was written by Exxon Mobil itself. In light of recent events doesn't this make all this just a little suspect?

    Where is your skepticism that all this was in our (humanity, Americans, whatever works for you) best interest?

    People like these are the traitors and evil in the world. They care not and will never do anything to help anyone but themselves (or someone they can use). It's frigging treasonous IMO.

    Even better, he just got a big fat job at Exxon Mobil.

    I think the message coming out of Government is "Help destroy the world and get a high paying job for a multinational when you are exposed.".

    Unless these are to be used to combat rampagin boomers, they will be more like the care beds in Roujin Z.

  25. Re:scary on Japan Displays Prototype Robot Suit · · Score: 1

    In Roujin Z (the film you describe) the Military was using the elder care program to experament with features they planed on using in robotic weapons systems. The fight as the bed was trying to take him to see the ocean was when the military decided to pit one of their combat prototypes against the bed after it had displayed use of some of the advanced military features (melding withthe forklift as I recall).

    My favorate thing in that film is the group of elderly geeks/hackers inthe old folks home.
