    you cheat, put some vile disgusting photo or pr0n pic in its place and rename/relink yours on your own page, the only ones hurt would be you for your time and the thieves. a friend of mine noticed someone was steeling images and using them in ebay ads, imaging what a quilting page looks like with "teen pussy" and appropriate picture tiled all over their ad...

  3. Big Deal... on Verisign Sending Deceptive Domain Renewal Mail? · · Score: 2

    They have access to Whois, they know which accounts are ready to expire, so they send out a renewal notice attempting to get you to switch. I know I registered via godaddy, I can see the Verisign logo, andyone who is "fooled" by this deserves what they get.

    Now if they sent this out under the premise that they (verisign) were godaddy THEN this would be a valid complaint.

  4. without the geekiness? on Neverwinter Nights Coming in June · · Score: 3, Insightful

    scuz me? I dont think this hobby (pen and paper rpg) is any more geeky than playing a game on a computer.

    tell my ex marine buddy that he is a geek, and he'll drive his size 11 combat boot up your nose, tell my truck driving friend that he is a geek and he will drive his big rig over you. in fact I havent had a "geek" in our pen and paper gaming group in over 10 years.

    You are NOT the nexus of this site.

  19. Re:It's a sad thing.. on PressPlay and MusicNet vs. Artists · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I do think that file sharing is a good thing, but it is also destructive to the current economic structure of the music industry.

    It needs to be destroyed, with a LARGE number of people on the net, there is NO reason a new promotional system cant be set up. I hardly listen to the radio anymore, but I do check out new music on the net...

  20. if you want to help the artist... on PressPlay and MusicNet vs. Artists · · Score: 5, Informative

    Purchase tickets for their concerts, they recieve very little in the way of compensation from CD/tape sales.

  21. Geeky Movie "WORTH" watching on Movie Review: John Q · · Score: 4, Informative

    Just recieved my DVD of Mamoru Oshii AVALON by Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the shell, Patlabor) in the mail the other day, I have watched it twice in two days and will probably see it a few more times this week... it is that good.

    The plot centers around a group of people that play an illegal virtual reality game in Poland called Avalon (similer to Unreal Tournament and other 3d shooters). A player can either form parties or go solo, people make a living playing this game. It seems there is a "glitch" in the program that once a player enters the "forbidden plains" they cannot reset (or get out of the game) and are stuck there till the mission is complete.

    I cant get to much further into it without giving away plot devices but suffice it to say it is an intense movie.

    The movie itself can be described as "live action" anime, with some outstanding computer effects. The language is Japanese AND Polish with English & Chinese subtitles, but there is very little talking.

    This movie will leaving you scratching your head till your scalp bleeds!

    NOTE: It's a little tricky to find how to activate the subtitles, as all the menus are in Japanese (its the upper right hand menu, select the selected option and then select option 2 on the next screen).

    Go ahead mark this offtopic, but at least this movie was worth reviewing...

  22. Re:Got guns? on Violent Video Game Protection Act · · Score: 3, Insightful

    and before all this regulation when 10 year olds went hunting with their fathers, how many school shootings were there?

    parental responsibility, not legal mandates will stop school killings. Parents taking the time away from their precious TV to teach by example (not just tell) their childern what is right and wrong.

    quit blaming objects, there was death and destruction before video games and before guns
