  1. Re:Joe Pesci as Superman? on Warner Bros. plans 'Superman vs. Batman' Movie · · Score: 1

    I personally think Billy Zane would make a good superman, and you can't deny that the ladies love him!

  2. Re:50 years? Or 5000 years? on Will Earth Expire By 2050? · · Score: 1

    new-cu-lar... it's pronounced new-cu-lar... (Thanks Homer)

  3. Re:Webserver on Apache Binaries Available for PS2 Linux · · Score: 1

    No mate, according to the ad I saw last night during the Simpsons we are talking $399 for the PS2.

  4. Re:Relevant Simpsons quote... on Isn't it Time for Metric Time? · · Score: 1

    I think it was: "Who holds back the electric car, Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star?" One of my favourites too!

    Doesn't he mention how much his wife likes his Dilbert models?

  6. Re:The lack of award should be self-evident on Buffy Staked Again By Emmys · · Score: 1
    ...And i'd mod you down for being retarded. The show is silly. Deal with it. The characters prattle on for hours and say nothing, with almost every conversation being one person making a statement and everybody else saying the same thing in a different way. Listen closely next time you watch it, every single conversation is littered with obselete remarks. The witless banter between the main characters reminds me of the psuedo-intellectual drivel from Dawson's Creek. If there is any show more predictable than Buffy, I don't want to know about it. God, when will you people realise Buffy is a show for high school girls, and no matter what you say and what you tell yourself it doesn't make it any deeper than that. I admit, there have been a few episodes that were pretty good, and almost all four of them have been mentioned by name here already.

  7. Re:Not really just offer free Fosters and voila... on Matrix Reloaded Filming Wants to Shut Sydney Down · · Score: 1

    As a matter of fact I was born in QLD, but i've lived in most states. Fosters is nowhere near as popular as XXXX or the VeryBest any place i've been. And hey, don't bring Victorians into it, they only drink cafe-lattes. Have you tasted Melbourne Bitter or Tooheys? You'd have to be sub-human to drink that. They taste like they wash dogs in it before its bottled.

    You can really tell you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

    a)Closing down some of the main streets in the CBD of any major city is going to impact businesses a lot more than closing down a pedestrian square. And ...

    b) Not a single Australian drinks Fosters by choice,we palm that camels-piss off on the tourists.

  9. Re:Stupid Star Wars nerds on George Lucas May Be Completely Evil · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Good on you buddy! Don't listen to these skirts, they've watched too many movies. Dead shits like him that beat their women are generally pussies when thrown in the mix with a real bloke anyway.

  10. Re:Pianos & other keyboards on How Effective are Ergonomic Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    This is the same problem I have with my mouse. I've found that for extended use, the best thing to minimise pain/circulation problems is to roll up a towel and have it halfway between your elbow and wrist, like a see-saw, using only your fingers to manipulate the mouse (Kinda how you do).

    Any old job really, just tack EXTREME on the front of it...

  12. Re:AU$300 with tradein on Nintendo Drops GameCube Price to $150 · · Score: 1

    Yes, well, fuck. I just piad AU$318 at Target on Saturday for mine (pre-ordered) and I should have waited four bloody days. Then I could have afforded to buy another game, too. I already own an x-box and have free access to a ps2 but all I can say is: the Gamecube SHITS on both if 'em. Stylish, great tech, small, silent, most comfortable controller EVER, portable, the list goes on.... I'm sure you won't be dissappointed when you pick yours up!

  13. Re:toilet computing on Workstations 'Dirtier Than Toilets' · · Score: 1

    Just don't do any maths, I don't wanna hear about you "working it out" with your stylus.

  14. Re:UV-C Sterilizers on Workstations 'Dirtier Than Toilets' · · Score: 1

    It's funny you mention this, as only last week had my hair cut and I remarked on my barber having the same thing. What he told me though, was that unless the surface is absolutely clean, the UV light is almost pointless, ie: the surface of the tiny bit of hair on the scissor blade is clean, but between the hair/dirt and the blade is still filthy. He said that they are supposed to wash them in disinfectant, and the UV box is only to keep the (pre-cleaned) surfaces clean until their next use, after which they must be scrubbed again. UV lights are definitely NOT the be-all and end-all of cleanliness in the barber's shop. You might want to recommend he does both. I don't think it has too much to do with people being allergic to antiseptics or anything like that.

    Bee-yutiful. Thanks plenty.

  16. After all, it is his... on Attack of the Clones: Less Plastic Crap, More Story? · · Score: 1
    It seems a lot of the comments here are suggesting George Lucas re-edit/re-write to suit people's personal tastes. This ain't flamebait,(I hated Jar-Jar as much as anybody) but...

    Isn't it his flick? If he wants to make it 2 hours of watching grass grow, thats his choice isn't it? I mean, how many of us here have money riding on the success of these films (comic-book-store-guys excluded, of course!)or in fact have any right to demand a change to what is, effectively, his own creative work? I understand that I, along with pretty much every adult male loves the Star Wars franchise, but I don't see it that he owes us anything. If you don't like it, don't go see it.

    I think that his biggest problem with this franchise, it has become so fucking HUGE that no matter what he chooses to do it will no doubt upset somebody. Everybody knows Star Wars, even if they don't adore it. I went and saw tPM knowing full well that this movie had to appeal from 4 year old kids up to adult zealots who live Star Wars every living, breathing minute, which to me that sounds like a bloody big group to keep happy. And you know what? It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I don't think he's doing to bad a job, considering. Imagine the pressure he is under to satisfy the masses, no matter what their tastes...

    Man, better him than me (I guess thats why he gets the big bucks).

    Sorry, this may sound ignorant, but does that mean the sun looks blue-green once you are out of our atmosphere?

    Well, you definitely don't have a patent on a spellchecker, buddy!

    Short answer: No, it doesn't label them.

  25. Re:Where to find one... on Public CD Copying Machine in Australia · · Score: 1

    There's one in the fish and chip shop near my place. (Cleveland, Brisbane) Only $2 to copy and the shop sells blanks for $3 as well, so you can either bring your own or just bring the original and a $5 note. I've used it a few times, mostly because it is faster than my dodgy old 2xWrite CD writer at home. I have experienced the odd coaster with it, though.
