  1. Re:A sad, sad day on That's All Folks: Chuck Jones RIP · · Score: 0

    When I was a kid, there was this arcade on this putt-putt and long-drive golf course near my house, my friends and I would spend all day there. Anywho, one day, I tried out one of those mechanical hand things where you'd press up once to make it move up, and right, right. Well, the first time, I won this awesome Marvin the Martian 2"x2" brass metal backing with his face colored on it. I still have it on my keychain now ever since I won it. I guess it's to remind me of how simple life used to be back then:

    1. Wake up
    2. Watch cartoons
    3. Eat Cap'n Crunch
    4. Go play with a kid with the same name as me all day
    5. Watch TV that night on their big-screen TV
    6. Sleep over or go home at 10pm, bedtime.

    Man, life changes too fast.

    Are we going to initiate taxing Mars colonists, then in a violent uprising they'll release our goods into deep space and a guy will ride around in a Mars Lander saying "The red, white and blue coats are coming!"

    No, the platters aren't toxic. They make them air-tight because the moisture and particles affect the rotation and storage. That's why recovery companies open drives in a dust-free environment with hazmat suits on so the platters won't be damaged when trying to recover data.

    I suggest everyone get the earliest version possible because that's when the protection will be lowest. If the US kit is released and a week later someone finds out how to disable that, then a week after that, Sony releases a "bugfix" release 1.1 which makes it much harder. Just make sure you get 1.0 because it'll be the easiest to crack.

    It's only overkill if someone actually pulls the trigger. They were probably working after the profile that anarchists are usually versed in weapons (2nd amendment right). This guy is totally guilty, they should send him straight to Federal Pound-Me-In-The-Ass Prison.

  12. Re:Because of his *opinions*? on Raisethefist.com Raided · · Score: 0

    ... second is the irony that the vast majority are smokers and thus enslaved to the tobacco industry, but that's a whole other issue

    Speaking of ironies in anarchists... A friend of mine was in in-school-suspension with this self-proclaimed anarchist (you know the type, old black hoodie, bookbag with patches, etc...) and other people, all looked over by a coach of some sport at the high school we all attended. The anarchist pulled out this anarchist magazine and started to read it.

    After a while, the coach asked him details about the magazine calmy, like "Where'd you get that from" and "How many of you anarchists get that magazine?"

    Up until then, it was okay, but the anarchist responded "All of us anarchists buy this magazine". The coach detected the irony in the answer and kept asking the anarchist over and over, louder and slower the english began to flow, all the time my friend was laughing so hard he fell out of his chair.

    You have to understand that in this case, anarchy means independant thought, politics didn't enter into the high school age. The irony coming when the contradiction of the definition of anarchy, and the fact he said "all the anarchists" buy that magazine.

    (I'm writing this while listening to Rancid, of which all the anarchists listen too.)

    I've noticed that too many people in high school like to have opinions which is fine by me at any age, but for the fact their opinions are many times misinformed and misrepresented. You ask a high-school aged anarchist why he/she is anarchistic, they'll give a one-sided response that their cousin, older brother or someone else that impressioned upon them to sign up to the Anarchists Club.

  13. Re:AIM service does some things *right* on AOL vs. Trillian · · Score: 0

    The reason why ICQ is so messy looking is because 2 weeks into the development of the ICQ program itself, everyone kind of sat back and looked at a perfectly capable messaging system with an sufficient set of setting and features, and this is like 6 years ago or something. So, what would all those people do, go out and get real jobs, no, just keep packing in more bloat in ICQ.

    And AIM still installs from a aim95.exe Windows executable, dating itself to Windows 95. They've probably changed it somewhat since then, adding ads and a few more features, beyond that, it hasn't been touched.

  17. Re:My major problem with this movie... on Review: Black Hawk Down · · Score: 0

    1) No character development - you never really established a connection with one character or another [snip]

    You weren't supposed to receive character development, it was a cronicle of what happened from discrete points in history. Does the audience really care which cast members have drinking problems, what SAT scores they got and whatever? No. Not every movie should be setup with character backgrounds, and this movie is one of them. I for one thought the movie, for what it represented, did it in fine fashion.

    2) Too much action - I like action movies, I really do, but there was just too much action and not enough plot in this movie. Going along with the whole character thing, you never really knew which characters were doing what where. I came out of the movie rather confused.

    Sorry you got confused there, it does take some measure of intelligence to follow the action and actually remember who does what </sarcasm>.

    Not every movie can or should be the same. I also saw Vanilla Sky, now that's a movie I know you can't handle. Based on timelines and plot complexity, Black Hawk Down is nothing compared to Vanilla Sky.

  19. Re:'Bout time..... (Lone Gunmen) on The End of The X-Files · · Score: 0

    I thought the Lone Gunmen was a great show. I always enjoyed the LG when they appeared on X-Files. When it was just on X-Files, Byers balanced out the trio well. But on the spinoff show, the additions, Harlow (the hot foreign chick) and Jimmy Bond (the nieve blind football league coach) were just the right additions for the new show.

  20. Not New Technology on Powered Exoskeletons In The Near Future? · · Score: 0

    This has been out for a while. Over in China and Japan, they have this kind of idea being used by nurses to lift patients in and out of bed. The technology is in the early stages because it uses air compressors on a shelf and the lines run to the exoskeleton, but still it's already in use. They showed this and other contemporary medical technological advances on a show on the Discovery Channel.

    If you don't watch at least the Discover Channel and/or TLC every now and then, why watch TV?
    The only acceptable excuse is to watch The Crocodile Hunter on Animal Planet.

    Grand Theft Auto 3 (driving, shooting, mugging)

    Don't forget the protitution and drive-by's in GTA3.

    Also, 007: Agent Under Fire is pretty cool, you get Goldeneye-esque FPS combined with NFS+shooting/killing driving experiences. The only bad part about the game is the automatic aim (which aims to enemies if you are within an inch of them) is hard to move around. You have to use both analog pads to aim. Although, you can manual aim and it reverts to the U64 Goldeneye style.

    I have to check out Project Gotham Racing, looks pretty good in what I've seen of it.
