  2. A dreamcast? on Attack Of The Dreamcasts · · Score: 2

    A dreamcast in an office building sticks out like a nun in a strip joint. Maybe if you hid the dreamcast in a suitcase or hid it under a bunch of papers in a filing cabinet, but not by itself.

    If you chopped off the chasis number on a car you own, it doesn't hurt anyone but yourself.. Why should you go to jail for that?

    Carmack and Linus look very similar. I think they are actually the same person living a double life. He may fool you with that phoney norwegian accent, but I know the truth.

  10. The manufacturers on Borrowing ROMs · · Score: 2

    need to start selling roms.

    They need to be realistic:
    There is a demand for them.

    If you make it so people don't have to "hunt them down", i'm sure atleast some people will pay you a buck per game.

    Making a buck per game from some people sure beats making no money because the only way to get ROMs is to pirate them.

    Do they actually expect people to keep thier NES hooked up to thier TV for 20 years?

    I learned this in quake:
    Step 1: Lower gravity to 0

  17. Re:Images from bad movies on Microsoft Says IBM/Linux Their Biggest Threat · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    That's what made it so bad.

    The ideals presented in the book are taken out of context and made to look absurdly facist.

    In the movie one of the cadets says something like "What good is a knife in a nuke fight anyway? All you gotta do is push a button, SIR!" and then the drill instructor says "Put your hand on that wall!" and throws a knife through his hand and says "The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand!"

    The drill instructors reply in the book goes like this:
    "If you wanted to teach a baby a lesson, would you cut its head off? Of course not. You'd paddle it. There can be circumstances when it's just as foolish to hit an enemy city with an H-bomb as it would be to spank a baby with an axe. War is not violence and killing, pure and simple; war is controlled violence, for a purpose. The purpose of war is to support your government's decisions by force. The purpose is never to kill the enemy just to be killing him...but to make him do what you want to do. Not killing...but controlled and purposeful violence. But it's not your business or mine to decide the purpose of the control. It's never a soldier's business to decide when or where or how -- or why -- he fights; that belongs to the statesmen and the generals. The statesmen decide why and how much; the generals take it from there and tell us where and when and how. We supply the violence; other people -- 'older and wiser heads,' as they say -- supply the control. Which is as it should be."

    It's shameful how bad that movie was compaired to the book. Heinlein is rolling in his grave.

    wow, that's pretty scary.
    If you can make it hang up, can you make it dial (ATDT)?

    Imagine some goon on IRC makes your modem dial his number so he can grab it on CallerId and then harass you. :\

    It's funny how as soon as the FCC 'goes after' a person, that person becomes insanely paranoid and narcissistic. If eminem died in a plane crash tommorow I don't think MTV would have any problem with profits.
