  1. Re:Consultant on New Legit Napster Service Coming · · Score: 3, Funny

    X-napsterite Shawn Fanning as a consultant one of the most important points in the article, hopefully with his help we can finally have an easy to use legal way to acquire music.


    As opposed to last time where he set the world afire for providing a way to illegally share music?

  2. Re:Fine with me! on Matrix Special Edition Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Al was right on the ball with the reasoning behind the deleted scenes.

    If you read the Terminator 2 book, they cut out a lot of footage as well, a lot of it being in the future with the resistance mucking about setting up the Terminator to go back. As for all the footage in T2 that wasn't produced or cut, most if it seems to be the basis of Terminator 3. :(

  3. Re:a positive trend on Cow Manure --> Electricity · · Score: 3, Funny

    (4 windows down at 75mph). Similar for the household.

    Soo, you have a mobile home that goes 75 mph?

  4. Re:video bloggs? on Are Video Blogs Ready For Prime Time? · · Score: 1

    BUt with the way Jennicam is, you would just get a 5-minute MPEG of an empty chair.

  5. Re:Definately not what you think it is on Working as a Game Tester · · Score: 1

    I saw an ad in a gaming mag for QA tester at Lucasarts. I believe it was in California. The offering salary was pitiful. Not enough to get probably in CA(where there's a higher cost of living).

  6. Re:Arcade Were Cool... on Xbox Coming to Arcades · · Score: 1

    What the heck are you talking about? Back in MY day, arcade games were only 25 cents to start, and there frequently was no option to continue!

    And we liked it!

  7. and in other news on Dr. Pepper Tries New Astroturf Method · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pfeizer will be teaming up with LiveJournal.com to test out new antidepressants for various teens. Results from the new antidepressants can be measured by the "Current mood" feature pesent on most livejournal entries.

  8. Re:Too many cooks at times? on What is Wrong With Game Development? · · Score: 1

    You're right, Carmageddon 3 was a major disappointment. As a die-hard fan since the first one, I was disappointed that I wasn't able to do 5x combos like I did in the first one(hint: drive along the railings).

    And the missions, wtf is with the missions? They were frustratingly hard, and nowhere near as fun as the regular races. They insisted on putting 2 of them in each map. I instead just downloaded a maxxed out savegame and played each race by myself.

    Carmageddon 2 was beautiful. 3 was the shark jumper.

  9. Re:Wearable Displays... on Thin, Flat LEDs · · Score: 1

    Isn't that how the display for the Adventurevision console worked?

  10. Re:More boring and useless weblog on Blog From Your Cellphone? · · Score: 1

    If I only had mod points, I would give them to you(funny of course). You must read livejournal review(http://livejournal.us) don't you? :)

  11. Re:Spammers Love Micro$oft on Microsoft Going After Hotmail Spammers · · Score: 1

    Becase then people would be bitching about privacy invasion if MS asked for such acconut info.

  12. Re:Hahahahahaha on Should you Fear Google? · · Score: 1

    If you write high-quality content for such said google results, you deserve to be in the top 5 rankings. It sure beats "Find the lowest prices on $SEARCHTERM" and such.

    I had the good luck of being in the top 5 searches for "coffee shops" on yahoo since I submitted my coffee shop review page, and someone at Yahoo thought it was a worthy page.

    As for "british flag shirt", that was just luck.

  13. Re:the.site.with.no.name on .NAME at a Crossroads · · Score: 1

    My idea:

    domain.name

  14. Reviving dead consoles on Atari 2600 Game Development · · Score: 1

    I wish I haad the hardware/programming knowledge to make some homebrew carts on my spare time. It would be fun to make some games for my game.com, now sitting, gathering dust.

    Now only if I could find the dial-up hardware/software thing for that. Would be fun just to see how it works.

  15. Re:Possible Trademark Problems on ReactOS 0.1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    You know, someday down the road there will be no names left to name anything. Then there will be the usual bickering of copyright BS. I can now understand why every homebrew linux app has some unpronouncable name. All the pronouncable ones are gone. Perhaps clownpenis.fart isn't too far away.

  16. irony on A Word a Day · · Score: 1

    Anyone find the irony in a Slashdot story telling US to go to dictionary.com?

  17. P2p web content? on P2P Content Delivery for Open Source · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why not have a system that can deliver web pages(all the content YOUR hard drive can handle) via a P2P system?

    I'd love to see unreliable, poorly maintained, pop-up happy free websites like angelfire and geocities go away and use a vastly superior P2p system instead. SOmeone wants to connect to your special web page? Have them connect to you via the P2p client. No need to fuss with slow FTPing into servers to upload/update web content. It's already on your system.

  18. Saddam's super-spud gun of envy on Potato Bazookas · · Score: 1

    Didn't the Israelis do that already with Saddam's gigantic spud cannon that he had built? I wonder how far his could have launched a potato. That would be a project!

  19. old music on Six Giant Music Retailers Will Try Online Sales Together · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Hey, how about this to sell CDs? START OFFERING BACK CATALOGS.

    Most of the stuff I download I can't even get on CD in the first damn place. Had they re-released older Devo albums(not greatest hit compilations), I would buy it in an instant. If they released CDs of (insert obscure 80s synthpop band here), I'd buy it. Is it availble? No. Forget it then.

    Probably it woudln't be commercially feasiable to release CD versions of old vinyl from bands that never got popular, but it would be cheaper than new music from new bands.

  20. Re:Segways are the new SUV on Segway Banned In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    If you want to talk about the SUVs of public walkways, try double-wide kiddie strollers.

  21. Re:So where's the SVG authoring apps? on SVG On the Rise · · Score: 1

    I want native support for SVG, encompassing all the features(animation, etc) the SVG standard supports. No exporting, or other weird implmentations of it.

  22. So where's the SVG authoring apps? on SVG On the Rise · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting for a superior SVG editor/authoring system so I can use all of SVG's competitive features on my website. So far, the only offerings I've seen just aren't so great. I know there's one for KDE, but I don't run Linux as a workstation.

  23. Ye Olde LiveJournal on 1660 Diary Becomes 2003 Weblog · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's probably a lot more interesting than some 19 year old angsty girl talking about her ex-boyfriend saying "BOYS SUCK!@#!@#"

    "You are so offeth my friends list!"

  24. Re:Making this really useful on Redesigning The "Back" Button · · Score: 2

    You would think with all the annoying things you can do with Javascript, they could incorporate a way to pre-populate "forward" history info, so that could be done.

    Or has it been done?

  25. Re:Post your worst PC game nomination here. on Top Ten Shameful Games · · Score: 2

    Did you ever try The Terminator for PC when it came out?

    Horrid attempt at a 1st person shooter, but with no depth. Sarah Connor(You could play sarah or the Terminator) looked literally like a paper doll.

    As for T2, Ocean made that game for the PC. It was a bunch of horrid mini-games.
