  5. Re:wasting your time? be professional! on One Company's Response to SCO · · Score: 5, Funny

    In all seriousness, if SCO ever did come after my "amatuer" homebrew server, what should I do? (Besides fold like a wet napkin...)

    Roll up a newspaper, and swat them on the nose with it. Say, in a firm, commanding voice, "bad Darl". Then rub their nose in a pile of something appropriate.

    However, since the lack infinite time, they'll only be able to produce Windows 2004.

    You could decrease the number drastically by measuring the trail left by the expulsion of consumed burgers.

    According to my calculations, you'd only need three.

    And that dead things have more better powers than living things.

  10. Re:Never gonna happen on Message in a Battle · · Score: 1

    You're never not going to be able to tell the difference, because a 500 year old creature shrivelled from an evil ring is just something you don't see in real life, so it's easy to spot as CG.

    You don't have a mother-in-law, do you?

  18. Re:Am I the only one? on LOTR: Two Towers Extended Edition Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I was never able to get into the books, but I was all pumped up to see FOTR when it came out. missed every chance to see it with my friends, but eventually saw it alone. While it was gorgeous and done well, it was boring and not what I was expecting at all. I chalked it up to being "part 1 of 3" and would give it a chance later.

    Later came when I decided to pick up the extended edition "just 'cause". It was a night and day difference. Suddenly, more things made sense. Things flowed better (though the sense of time was still too rushed, but better). It was a much more entertaining film. When the theatrical release came to cable, I watched again and still had the same opinion I had the first time I saw it.

    I don't think reading the books had that much effect on your opinion of the releases. The extended edition was just that much better. I'm eagerly awaiting TTT.

  24. Re:Will this improve Red Hat usability + friendlie on Red Hat Linux Project Merges With Fedora · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That was not a useability problem you had, it was a training issue. You were expecting your ability to speak and read Klingon would help you read Narn textbooks.

    How long did it take you to go from DOS, through every version of Windows, learning everything you know? More than a week, I'm sure. *NIX may not be your cup of tea, and that's fine. I'm not picking on you here. I just picked your message.

  25. Re:why not support the companies that support us? on Half-Life 2 - A Linux User's Lament · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Graphics only sell games until word gets out that a it's crap; so only the initial release will really generate any revenue.

    Good game play keeps people coming back.
