Everytime I read one of these "Hollywood says... [oss is stealing|DeCSS is solely for copyright infringement| etc...]" I get the voice of Andy Kauffman in my head saying
"I'm from HOLLYWOOD. Not from <goofy hick voice>REDNECK TENNESEE!</voice> I'm important, I'm from HOLLYWOOD! You people have nothing to say to me, I AM FROM HOLLYWOOD!"
It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the parody turns out to be too, too true... --
I hate to/. this poor sucker, but get them here. They're in real video, but you can almost make out the action through the shifting blocky-ness and crap sound quality. --
Well, it was just you until I crossed my eyes and kinda blurred up my vision. Now there's at least two people that see an eagle that's proud of his erection.
I don't know about cars as signing bonuses, but I do know of at least one company in the SF Bay area that will give a car to any employee who stays for 2 years. Kinda tells you something about thier turnover rate, eh? --
I'm not a subscriber, but part of thier advertsing blitz was the mention of a one year contract. SWB aledgedly broke their contract, but probably doesn't want any of thier customers to do the same. --
Actually, paradroid was the basis of a playstation game called Machine Hunter. Not quite the same as the original, but close enough for a twinge of nostalgia. --
How does a wireless server hinder the physical security of a NOC encased in concrete? Please tell me, I'm sure there are a lot of network admins who would love to know this sort of info. --
Actually, not it's not, technically. You should be able to keep going, but there's a well known bug that crashes the game at a certain level. 3,333,360 is the most points one could rack up before the crash. You have to get all four ghosts all four times and get the fruit every time to acheive that score. --

At $100K/year, you'd think you could afford a Nerf gun or two. That always breaks the boredom.

Oh, and I'd have to say that information should be free as in love.
You mean illegal to buy except in certain counties of Nevada?

Here's a good explaination.

Here's a whole bunch. That'll be $14.95.

Orgin no longer exists, it is now fully absorbed into EA.

Re your sig
Hrm. An non-OS reliant java app that requires IE 5.0 and flash. Sounds like exactly what those java engineers had in mind. Blech.

I bet that 1 Bug Free one is my hello world program! See, it says right there, "Hellow orld!"!
Wait a minute- orld? Hellow? FSCK!
Damn stupid bugs.

That "this is a UNIX(tm) system! I know this!"
That all hackers wear glasses (sunglasses if they're "hip") so that the ultra-bright monitor they're using provides visable glare against them.
That all hackers use 128 point fonts so that the folks at the back of the theater can read the screen.
That all hackers subsist solely on candy and jolt.
That all hackers skateboard/rollerblade/both.
etc.

Am I the only one that thought about the southern joke "...his family tree doesn't fork"?

Yeah, USAF has decent training. I tested it for a while, and since I had never played a flight sim before, that training was *very* important.
[game companies are] pushing shlock (EA, Interplay)
You do know that those Jane's games you praised earlier were/are done by EA, right?

Why is that annoying? Come on, it's almost faster than double-clicking, and you don't tweak your RSI from using the rodent.

101 to get to The Usual? Shirley you mean 280, which is also always /.'ed.

That would fscking rock! I've still got my GEOS disks from the mid-80's!

You'll probably enjoy the message at 1-800-FAT-GIRL, as well. Try it, you'll like it!

Nah, they'd put Patrick under "X" for his inspiring role in "X-Men".

If you try to pull the monitor off the firewall mentioned in your sig you'd best be prepared for a fight.
