yes - marker pen sketches are cool - whatever is the opposite of the status quo is always appealing, i guess.
the seventies clothes on the figures don't surprise me - i doubt anyone at atari read The Face, but the actual design of the boxes is kind of conflicted. they go and make a totally cool sci-fi shaped box and then stick wood-effect veneer on the sides. wood! it's like atari's mom was in charge of the sides of the boxes or something.
i must not be in my right mind, as i used to have a great time playing UT on a powerbook. left hand thumb on the trackpad and fingers on the arrow keys, right hand on the keyboard. playing with a mouse afterwards felt strangely disconnected, like driving an automatic when you're used to a stick.
The Sharp Corporation was founded in 1912 by Tokuji Hayakawa and takes its name from one of our founder's first inventions, the Ever Sharp propelling pencil, developed in 1915.
under communism your choice of OS is forced upon you by some huge faceless bureaucracy that tracks your every move and relentlessly encroaches upon every single right you have.
the term "missing link" was a creationist term used during the Scopes trial. it was part of an argument that said that an incomplete fossil record entirely undermined the whole theory of evolution. it's funny how it's been adopted by scientists.
taliban in toyotas = rebels in landspeeders
bin laden = ben kenobi
fundamentalism = the force
F22 = TIE fighter
aircraft carrier = star destroyer
WTC = death star
suicidal pilots = luke skywalker
predator UAV = imperial probe droid
terrorists sneaking through airports = "these are not the droids you're looking for"
america strikes back = the empire strikes back
i don't think terrorists are heroes - i live in manhattan for christ's sake - but the parallels are scary.
i'd have something go wrong on the holodeck that would keep the ship in a time loop. the bad aliens would turn out to be good guys and vice versa. everyone would get really old very quickly because of a space phenomenon and would then go mad. and turn into lizards. and then meet god. in the end it would all turn out to be a romulan plot. new uniforms please!
haven't these people ever watched sci-fi movies? obviously, anyone who gets killed in a virtual reality game will be killed in real life. messing around with this stuff is suicide.
the simplified statistics look like a trap; he treats them as a simple metric of the bomber's vulnerability to attack from different angles. i wonder if the bombers faced more frontal attacks early in their mission - before they had released their bombs and were still carrying lots of fuel.
or perhaps less experienced pilots would tend to mount attacks from behind.
the guy sounds very clever, but when i see statistics like that i start wondering about what they're really measuring.

dude, i hope your performance strategies have more performance or strategy than your logic.
As everyone knows, both Motorola and IBM produce PowerPC processors. And if Apple were not competing with anyone, how could there be any comparisons for fifteen year-olds to get flustered about?

hey dudes, another mac voyeur!
your best course of action is to:
identify the drive model and manufacturer
consult the manufacturers website

you guys are *so* pedantile.

freakier than that. from one of their websites:

conversely, in the west you -- oh, right.
they probably won't shut down mobster - they'll just have a long string of court dates and then make them switch to a subscription model.

this is all well and good, but isn't it rather more likely that ol' j.r.r. just got his ideas from playing dungeons and dragons and stuff?
curiosity: If there is bacteria on europa, would it have familiar dna, or a completely different system?

No! Don't let the stupid users be in charge! We need something more authorative to take the reins. Something like Hollywood!
if you said "are oil paintings art?" you'd sound insane. but asking "are videogames art?" sounds reasonable.
therefore, videogames are not art, QED.

does the same thing happen to Duck Nukem?
hey dude, don't call that mac a "fag box"!
i once had one external scsi drive that needed a terminator if it sat on one side of the computer but not if i put it on the other. freaky.
isn't part of firewire/1394 actually based on scsi?
think about it, dude: in the sahara, pyramid schemes are legal.
no, that's exactly my point.
it's like finding a connection between watching a ball game and eating hotdogs and assuming that if you eat more hotdogs you'll see more ball games.
yes, there's a ratio, but that doesn't prove there's a direct connection.
