By the way, Mike "showed up" in the first season as head writer and transformed MST3k from 3 guys riffing the movie on the fly to the hilarious show you enjoy today.
True, but they're distracting. I guess if you've already seen the movie ten thousand times (like Star Wars) you wouldn't care, but I'd rather not hear them.
From TFBR: " People who are on the outside, the non-techie types may find this book confusing and hard to understand. That relative that calls you and asks what happened to their toolbar in word that seems to have disappeared may not really get this book."
Don't worry, they're busy reading "The Da Vinci Code."
The AC pretty much has it covered, but I also think that Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy (directed many episodes and the most recognizable Servo voice) had Rifftrax in full swing before the Cinematic Titanic thing was underway. I'm guessing Mike and Kevin declined the offer to work with CT as they already had a cash cow.
They're both very good, but Cinematic Titanic is more "classic" MST3k style and Rifftrax is newer and edgier. The downside is that Rifftrax is more of a pain to setup for movies that they don't have the rights to (most of them). also, they inexplicably do good movies like the original Star Wars, I don't understand the point of that.

Seriously though, the auto-inserted ads could lead to some hilarious juxtapositions. I hope it's smarter than gmail, which always tries to sell me panties and "bachelorette party supplies."
Also, installing applications and dealing with dependencies are absolutely among Linux's strongest features over Windows, and always have been.
You're completely delusional. I've been using Linux since 1997, and any honest Linux user will tell you that they've taken several trips to dependency hell. Questions like "Why are there so many different package managers?" "Why does every distro put its config information in a different place?" etc have yet to be worked out in Linux. Many people will say this is a strength of Linux, allowing people to make their own choices. However, normal people don't really care to have the choice of putting the "control panel" in different places and would prefer it just to work.
Let's face it, it's easier to work in Windows (for most normal, desktop tasks). The great thing about Linux is that it will do whatever you tell it to do, always. The bad thing is that sometimes it's hard to figure out how to ask;).
The reason he withdrew that promise is that it's very difficult to confirm and very easy to deceive. And yes, it was foolhardy to promise it in the first place.
Wait...right in our own atmosphere, or on the surface of the moon?
Or did you mean in your secret moonbase where you're developing your own Large Hadron Collider with which to blackmail the nations of Earth into giving you one million dollars?
The Samsung SIR-T165 has a Firewire output that you can use to stream from your TV broadcast to your computer. However, later models have a lot more to offer in terms of stability and menu speed. A lot of these early models are slow and prone to locking up. They also don't receive channels nearly as well as the later models. But, if hacking is what you really want, go for the SIR-T165.
This is a great comment. It's a shame that it not modded higher. By the way, if you can get everyone's stuff deleted, why doesn't someone abuse the system and request that everything gets deleted?
All crimes or suspected crimes deserve thorough investigation. Ruling certain kinds of crimes out-of-reach of the FBI simply due to resource-constraints is equivalent to encouraging the said crimes.
That must mean the FBI encourages drug trafficking and sex crimes because they are not investigating those while they are going undercover to bust a group of peaceful protestors who have committed zero crimes Great logic you have there.
Ah, I remember those halycon days of reading EGM on the bus on the way to school in the morning. It was the best way to figure out how to do those horribly convoluted moves in Mortal Kombat II. Then you could unleash them at the arcade and people would be impressed! Of course, arcades are pretty much dead too. Sad.
Yeah, things were much more peaceful and loving before TV! It's so violent and depraved, just like books, radio, video games, comics, and everything else.
Quoting a comic strip? That's an interesting appeal to authority!

Check Cinematic Titanic for Joel's similar venture.

LBP works fine as a solo or coop offline game. I don't really think multiplayer is essential to the function.
Mario Strikers is old, but I love it.
It's the best multiplayer game for Wii in my opinion, besides maybe Rock Band.
Who doesn't want broadband? Old people, that's who.
They don't want the Internet. They want to knit and watch the Price is Right. Who are we to condemn them for that?
Some people on this site make an awful lot of noise about not watching TV. What's wrong with that? It's all about personal choice.

That's always good advice!

Shut the fuck up about karma hits. Post like a man, and take the hit, you pussy! If your other posts make sense it will all balance out!
My computer teacher in the early 80's had a weird name for touch panels-something like Koala pad? Does anyone remember that?
look up "Tie a yellow ribbon on your SUV" by Asylum Street Spankers on youtube, I think you'd like it!
the same people who bitch about flag etiquette paste the flag all over their shirts, hats, pants, bumper stickers, etc.
all of which are desecrations. get over it.
Us Asians don't keep saying "African American"! Why would you stereotype us like that?
It's Friday, it's 5 o'clock, so what the hell...I'm trolling!
See you suckers at the bar (assuming my car ever gets out of the shop).
Then, after we've had a few beers, let's pick up some skanks and make them happy with our penile dexterity!
You are the first post. You can do it.
"It excites me incredibly to know that a Cowboy Bebop movie is happening."
Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket, or did a Cowboy Bebop movie just get greenlighted?
