  1. Re:Content? on Star Wars Galaxies - 300,000 Subscribers, No Jedi... Yet · · Score: 2, Informative

    Most of the missions are working, but you get no real reward for completing them. Also, the boards were public all through the dev stage and beta and then were closed when the game went live. There was no insidious change to prevent people from posting negative.

  2. Re:Impressive... on Star Wars Galaxies - 300,000 Subscribers, No Jedi... Yet · · Score: 1

    No they don't. You get one character per server, up to ten servers. If you unlock the force sensitive slot, you get the additional slot on the server that you earned it on.

  3. cursive? on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: 1

    Through 3rd grade all I heard from my teacher was "in 4th grade they're going to make you write in cursive". repeat through grade 7. I learned to write it for my lessons, but NEVER used to it write at any other time. To me, it always seemed like more trouble than it was worth.

  4. Re:historical footnote (Now 100% O.T.!) on The Soldier is the Network · · Score: 1

    What does that have to do with his competence as a military commander? Your ass-backwards politics do not automatically color your performance at your job. (Pardon the pun.) You can be a skilled laborer, such as a carpenter, electrician, or a CEO for that matter, and also be a racist.(See Republican party) Also, Forrest renounced the Klan and his past behavior several years before he died.

  5. Re:More from the TV show? on New Trailer for The Hulk · · Score: 1

    I don't know about that, I've got a Shoe Bomber #1 in mint that I'm putting on Ebay.

  6. Re:Mitchell! on Farscape Finale Tonight · · Score: 1

    They only air the episodes that were made after the show moved from Comedy Central to Sci-fi. So there is no Joel, no Frank and no Dr. Forrester. Some of the shows are still very funny, but it can't really be compared to when the show was hitting on all cylinders before Trace left.

  7. Re:I don't like any of the fights on How Yoda Became an Action Star · · Score: 1

    No, Yoda did not give any sort of "come here" gesture. After he deflected some debris, he moved his hands to his sides in a palm outward position. There was no Matrix rip off. It sounds like wishful thinking of someone with an axe to grind.

  8. Re:Lucas, Lucas... on How Yoda Became an Action Star · · Score: 1

    I know, I hate it when I take someone else's ideas and "make them better" only to have that person disregard my changes and do his own ideas. Just because that person has been a giant success in the past doesn't mean that he's better at telling stories than I am, even though I haven't done anything of note ever!

  9. inform the customer on HP Must Defend Half-Empty "Economy" Ink Cartridges · · Score: 1

    At the store where I work, most of our peripheral salesmen let the customer know that the unit comes with a smaller capacity cartridge. It doesn't seem to affect them, but if you went home expecting to get a full cartridge then I could see why you would get pissed. It could be worse, you could have to buy the ink separate like the cable.

  10. Undeletable crap on An Offer Tivo Owners Can't Refuse · · Score: 1

    This has happened a couple of times here, when they put an interview with Francis Ford Coppola on my unit and it was impossible to delete it. It went away after 8-10 days. Now I have some Sheryl Crow video living at the bottom of my Tivo main menu. But it has never recorded any regular content or shows yet.

  11. Re:bugs on Many Eyes, Shallow Bugs, and Spider-Man · · Score: 1

    In the comics and the movie, Peter grew up in Queens.

  12. digital projection on Star Wars Digital Projection Theaters · · Score: 5, Informative

    I saw Mission to Mars projected digitally at AMC 30 in Olathe, KS. The picture was so good that I could see the makeup that Gary Sinise was wearing. But it was very distracting to see hime wearing some kind of rouge on his cheeks and some sort of shiny lip gloss. Movie makers need to be mindful of this sort of thing. Also Mission to Mars was one of the shittiest movies ever. That never helps.

  13. Re:College isn't for learning... on Georgia Tech Cracks Down on Learning · · Score: 4, Funny

    As a Georgia Tech alum, I can tell you that with a 73% male to 27% female student distribution, casual sex is anything but.

    Or maybe it was just me.

  14. the difference? on Internal MP3 Server? 1 Million Dollars Please · · Score: 1

    What's the difference in having an mp3 repository? Isn't that the same thing as having a boom box and a stack of cd's? I guess if the employees were burning discs for friends or something...

  15. wired on ASCI White Detonates The First E-Bomb · · Score: 2, Interesting

    there was an interesting article in Wired a couple of months ago. It said that very few of our scientists working on nuclear projects had first hand experience with actual testing. I guess this can bring the newer guys up to speed.

    "BTW, I'd love to eat Milla's cookie, and I'd be screaming it over and over. ;-9 "

    I'm pretty sure that most girls would respond negatively to you shrieking into their naked crotches.

  18. Re:Now that I've seen it... on Star Wars II Trailer Online · · Score: 1

    I won't take exception to anything you said except about the accents. Temura (sp?) Morrison (Jango)is from New Zealand and that it his actual accent.

  19. Re:what!? on Product Placement in Video Games · · Score: 1

    I may be just picking nit, but the "Delta Airlines Zeppelin of Death (tm)" isn't the sort of thing that gets me excited about that particular product.

  20. Re:Script - director... on Episode II Gets Rave Review · · Score: 1

    How can a subjective viewpoint about a movie have anything to do with being "person who knows what he talking about"? This guy knows what he's talking about when he gives his opinion of movies that he enjoys.

    Is George Lucas a bad director? I suppose so, and a bad writer of dialogue to boot. But his strength is in his editing skills. And his contribution to the special effects branch of the industry cannot be overlooked either.

  21. Re:macs on Dual 1Ghz G4 PowerMac With Extra Yummy · · Score: 1

    True, but I think that because most G4's don't really have active cooling, the larger heatsink becomes necessary. I do agree with your laptop point and I am currently saving money for a G4 Titanium.

  22. Re:300 percent faster?! on Dual 1Ghz G4 PowerMac With Extra Yummy · · Score: 1

    Rember that (these) macs aren't aimed at you, the M$ loving, porn-watching group.



    Hey! I like watching porn on my mac!

  23. Re:macs on Dual 1Ghz G4 PowerMac With Extra Yummy · · Score: 1

    I suggest you go to a local CompUSA or Apple Store and ask them - nicely - to open the display G4. The cooling system is minicule - a heatsink with case fans - compared to what has to be done with Pentium IIIs and IVs (some designs look as though they would make impressive window unit air conditioners).



    As a certified Apple tech, I have to tell you that the heatsinks, especially for the dual G4 units are massive. That's not necessarily a bad thing as only the quicksilvers have a fan (a tiny one at that) and that they are very quiet.

    Did anyone else think of the gunner in Spaceballs when looking at the photo on the right of the pic?

    "Keep firing, assholes!"

  25. spielberg and lucas are asking for it... on 'Indiana Jones 4' Finally A Go · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering if the astronomical fees that Ford and Connery (assuming that he returns) are going to receive more attention than the actual movie. Plus, like some other posters have stated, Harrison is getting up there in age.
