  1. See what you made Andrea do? Shame on you. on 101 Dumbest Moments In Business · · Score: 1
    Hrm. It seems this one has lost a bit of its bite. She just quit.

    I'll probably remember her more for her, um, revealing pictures, anyway.

  2. Help on Sundance Channel Showing "Revolution OS" Monday Night · · Score: 2, Funny
    It should be noted that cmdrtaco is in this, talking about free software while lounging on an inflatable sofa at linuxworld. Clearly you'll want to go buy a big screen TV to watch this.

    Am I seeing a jab here, or is my humor a bit off today?

  3. Live action movie? on DragonBall: The Live Action Movie · · Score: 3, Funny

    More like DragonBall ZZZzzzzz.

  4. Re:Just like Sega... on Windows XP is Listening · · Score: 2, Funny

    Few people know how to reconfigure their computer to disable/enable stuff at a system level. Are these the same people who need saved by the simplicity of a Linux desktop?

  5. Re:Speed Racer on New Anime Block Starts Tonight Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    This doesn't help much, but MTV used to show it... yeah - MTV.Like, back when they showed The Young Ones, too. Now MTV's just shows of Real World contestants eating food, last I checked.

  6. Re:I am so tired of Star Wars already on Star Wars: Galaxies Preview · · Score: 1

    Rogue Leader for the Gamecube sucked? Wow. That totally took me by surprise.

  7. Re:NOT worth the trouble... on Concerning The Cancellation of Futurama · · Score: 1

    Well, whooptie shit, you've changed my mind. Tell me why I should have hated MST3k, now.Honestly if you're gonna post that bullshit, grow some and don't hide behind the AC, huh? I'm willing to lose a little precious karma over it.Then again, perhaps IHBT. Perhaps IHL.

  8. Re:dead tree books on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I second this, but include a CD with the eBook on it, or HTML, or PDF or whatever format you want to use. It's nice to install it and eyeball it at the office, then go home and read the paper copy.

  9. Re:Costs on Artwork from Ancient Atari History · · Score: 1

    He also has a 'Revenge from Mars' pinball game from Williams, part of their doomed Pinball 2000 series. That thing cost, oh, $3000 when it was released in 2000. So, yeah, he's got time, space, AND money.

  10. Stylin' on Artwork from Ancient Atari History · · Score: 4, Funny

    Looking at the pictures, the arcades 'of the future' force you to wear clothes 'of the past.'

  11. eBay... again. on Pinball Wizards on the Internet · · Score: 3, Funny

    Don't fret, pin owners. A cottage industry of scum and villany (actually people who used to be owner/operators) yet again springs up on eBay for all of your overinflated needs.Need chrome legs for your 1993 Indiana Jones (like I do?) That'll be $200, please.Fortunately the games I bought were as a result of eBay transactions, but not directly through eBay itself. Words of advice, though, for those who want to go to rec.games.pinball:1. Never mention Popeye.2. Avoid John Shields. He'll break every machine's flippers without even touching them.3. Don't admit you own a shopped BK2K or TZ. You'll get hounded with lines of people wanting to play it.

  12. A treat! on P4 2.2GHz and D845BG Review · · Score: 4, Funny

    We finally had the chance to hear 'I hate Microsoft and Intel' in *one sentence*! How rare!

  13. Re:Dang on The Tick to be Cancelled · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What other shows, especially sitcoms, are *not* idiotic today? Hell, even NBC's wildly-successful show Emeril had (BAM!) a sex plot in one of it's episodes. Or, better yet - Onnna the Friends is gonna havea baybeee outta wedlock! Who could it beeee!?To say FOX has nothing but low-brow shows tells me you've ne'er watched Malcom, King of the Hill, or Futurama.There's good writing there. You just gotta look for it.

  14. Advertising on The Tick to be Cancelled · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How is it possible that we saw SO much advertising for this show during the World Series (A secret message.... from my TEETH!), but I never saw commercial one for the show while it was on the air?Honestly if they would have advertised it a *little* more, perhaps I could tell you what time the show was on. Heck, I don't even know what day it was on. Just like Family Guy.Yet, I am pretty sure we're all sick of 'A Very Special Boston Public' and 'That Goddamned 80's Show' commercials.

  15. Re:Bit silly, but... on Annual NORAD Santa Tracker Up And Running · · Score: 1

    I.... *think* this belongs in the 'Sousveillance' topic.

  16. Re:A little research please on The Battle Of The Consoles: From Atari To The Xbox · · Score: 1

    Absolutley right. Good story Coleco. They started drifting (ha, ha) into toys when the company produced pools, then smaler toys, then the Cabbage Patch kids, then Colecovision. Now they're outta business. I think Mattel owns Cabbage Patch's enterprises.

  17. Re:I like the show on Futurama Season 4 Update from David X. Cohen · · Score: 3, Offtopic

    I'll hate to see the absolute thrashing you'll get for this comment, but by God, you're right. How many times to we need to see that certain Anime DVD titles *might* come out on DVD, yet... where's the Simpsons Season 1 DVD review? Not that the review would be terribly *good* mind you.

  18. No posts? on Futurama Season 4 Update from David X. Cohen · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Maybe all the posts are coming from 1000 years in the future. Just wait - we'll see posts formatted for AOLIEHTML v.78.

  19. Re:you miss my point entirely on XBox Released · · Score: 1
    in case you missed the clueboat, PSX2's are already linkable to each other.

    XBOX Link Cable.

  20. Re:No GTA3...... on XBox Released · · Score: 1
    First off, it's GRAN not Grand.

    Second, the title is Gran Turismo A-Spec 3. GTA3.

    Third, I've probably been trolled.

  21. Baked beans are off on European Union Says No To Spam · · Score: 1

    Remember when the worst thing you'd recieve in your mail was a 'Make Money Fast!!!!' chain? How I long for the days where I could hit delete ONCE when I checked my mail.Here's hoping the US sees what the EU is doing and puts some thougt behind similar legislation. Do member states of the EU have similar lobbyists who would push for dropping this law under a similar veil of 'free speech?'

  22. Re:Did anyone actually read the rest of the articl on Microsoft FrontPage License Prohibits Anti-Microsoft Speech · · Score: 1
    It's kind of hard to read any of that article objectively when the main thrust of the article doesn't exist. Unless there's some Illuminati-like hidden EULA on my system, there is no such anti-MS clause in the FrontPage EULA.

    Perhaps it's in French?

  23. Re:Maybe it WAS him! on Bobby Fischer Online? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I know what you mean.. I was playing Bridge Builder online against someone who was making IMPOSSIBLE structures, yet he won time and time again. Later I found it to be I. M. Pei. Who knew?

  24. StarMAX Linux! on Mandrake Linux 8.0 Final Released For PPC · · Score: 1

    I finaly have a use for that Motoroloa StarMAX pc I hijacked a year ago. It may be slow, but at least I can still buy components for it. Good ol' Apple.

  25. Re:Speaking out of the other corner of their mouth on Web No Longer Eclectic? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but that was only after it was discovered this *was* a wonderful land of freedom and thought and pure idea. Then came AOL's gateway to the Internet.
