  1. Re:God forbid... on Take Me Home, I'm Drunk · · Score: 1

    You have never gotten so drunk you can't get yourself home? I know that sounds bad, but if you have never experienced the pleasure(..?) of losing control then how can you ever know you are in control? I'm not saying to do it more than once though and only with very close friends at your back.

    Filename: Unreal Tournament 2004 ALL VERSIONS KeyGen Crack (1).exe

    Interesting as this is and that it is a KeyGen (heh, or not:), I use many CD Cracks so I don't have to keep the damn CD's in the drive as I play many games. I don't pirate anything and yet something like this could make you look like a pirate. Thankfully I firewall everything off and look at anything outgoing. I hope these guys get whats coming to them as what they did is no better than the pirates in my eyes.

  3. Re:Copy and paste on Is the Key to Linux a Games-Based Distro? · · Score: 1

    Part of the problem is also program naming.. it simply isn't user friendly. cups? wtf is cups? gnome? kde? firefox? apt-get? the list can go on forever. Yes, I know what they are, but my Mom doesn't. Yes, I know there are lots of Windows programs that have names that don't reflect what they do, but the ones that do everyone knows about. Internet Explorer, kinda easy to grasp that one. Windows Explorer, same. Notepad! Outlook? Nope.. I had to rename that one on my parents computer to "email". Photoshop or uhmmm whats Gimp? Even I get confused by some of the naming.

  5. Delay reasons... on Half-Life 2 Targeted for Summer Release · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The "simple" theft of the source code is not the reason to the extended delay, its simply that they where just not finished and have required this much more time to get it to a release state. Securing the network code or even outright changing it would only require a couple months at most to fix to prevent cheaters; so that option is not valid either. I think they screwed up on stating the release date and this was an excuse that would satisfy reporters.

    On a motorcycle you use the front brake for 3/4 of your stopping power. Guess you don't ride, as you would know this. Any course and all literature will tell you this.

  10. Invoice on Canadian Music Industry Wants Royalties on Net Usage · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Since I don't download music or movies on my net connection that I already pay $50/month for, SOCAN will be getting a bill from me if this passes. I'm not paying for something I don't "use". I'll send a monthly bill to them for whatever the increase is and let a collection agency have it with them. They can come and look over my computer to see what I have/don't have on it.

  18. Re:Old news or not, it'll get slashdotted. on Airborne Video With an R/C helicopter · · Score: 1

    The learning curve can be VERY steep for any RC Helicopter, but there is one that will allow you to fly and have moderate crashes without having to fix/replace expensive parts everytime.

    http://www.litemachines.com

    I have the Model 116. I would recommend the Model 117 though, as it has a much better gyro for tail stablization. It has flexible plastic rotor blades that can take a lot of abuse (ran into a wire fence once.. no damage) Here is a site that sells them in Canada (I buy all my stuff from them.. they know what they sell) Great Hobbies. The link goes to the heli page. Note it states the heli has a VMax 6 engine, but the 117 comes with the VMax 7 which is a better engine. The lite machines heli is about half as complex as the big expensive ones but it will let you actually learn and fly for half the frustration. Email Great Hobbies and ask about it and what you will require to get up and flying if you so choose. Have fun :)
