I just bought GT4 after playing the arse off of GT3 for years. (I saw it for £8 second hand. Bargain!)
Stage 15 of the iA license tests is killing me. The one where you have to do a lap of the Nurburgring without hitting the grass. I've gone off the track at one of the last few corners twice now.
I'm sure I'll do it eventually, but I've thrown the controller a couple of times already, and I only bought it a few days ago.:)
Honestly, even if I believed in God I'd be pretty disappointed if I found out God spends his time micromanaging gravity. You'd think he'd create a rule and move on to more important things.
Wouldn't it be a pretty amazing feat to be able to micromanage every single gravitational interaction in the entire universe? In real time?
At this point in history, evolutionary biology is a certainty in the way that gravity is a certainty.
Heretic! Don't you know that there's no such thing as gravity? All things are held in place by God's will, so that His flock may live without fear of being smitten by flying boulders.
They took window shots, then faded the borders to white, then added a drop shadow.
I had to go and look at the screenshots to make sure you weren't joking. I can't believe they actually did that! How could they have thought that would look good?
That is the only* worthwhile startup sound in existence. I had my computer hooked up to my stereo with giant speakers when that first played. It was like the world was about to end.
You knew you had a monster sound card when that played.

Yeah, it should run fine on that machine. I've run Debian on a 120MHz Powermac 7200 and a 1.33GHz G4 Mac mini, and it was sweet on both.
Any PowerPC based computer should run Debian fine.
As long as it's not the Amiga OS 4 version, we should be OK.
Exactly. This is like saying:
"You hurt my ability to eat corn-on-the-cob when you punched all my teeth out after I kicked you in the gonads!"

Seriously. The Wii is less than half the price!
At that price, you'll get a better Fun per £ ratio by buying a PS2 and the entire Platinum range.
£425 for a games console? I believe we have a saying for this in the UK: "Fuck that!"
That was my first thought. There are many proprietory, closed source apps that run on Linux, with no legal or technical problems at all.
I am beginning to suspect that this Dvorak chap can't tell his arse from his elbow.
I have a question:
:)
Have any of the WinXP laptops up there ever had any virus trouble? I'm just interested to know if viruses have spread outside of Earth yet.

Q: What's the difference between a drummer and a drum synthesiser?
A: You only have to punch the information into a drum synthesiser once.
I can't believe he actually peed on the couch.
Although he inexplicably put the cushion on top of the cupboard when I asked him to calculate Pi to 1000000 decimal places.
No, Alanis, it would be a coincidence. It would be ironic if he was working on a battery status monitoring program when it exploded.
That's absolutely amazing. I think I have a new contender for Best Video Ever.
That little bastard looks so happy trotting around like that!

That would be a proper god.

(Excepting brimstone obviously.)

I think the meaning behind it is pretty transparent.
I doubt the possibility of any significant effect from the bolding of his words.
I really feel like a Coke for some reason...
At least he had his towel with him when he died.

You must not work for Symantec then.
Crappy The Toilet Brush: It looks like you need to go to the toilet. Would you like to a) Urinate or b) Defecate?
...ack...
John Q. Toiletuser: Just lift the damn lid, I'm busting!
Crappy: I'm sorry, I didn't understand your response. Would you like to a) Urinate or b) Defecate?
John: Oh Jesus! Err..."Defecate"
Crappy: Please answer "a" or "b". Would you like to a) Urinate or b) Defecate?
John: For fuck's sake! "B" *winces in pain from the stomach cramps* OW! HURRY!
Crappy: You chose to defecate. Thank you. Would you like me to pre-warm the seat? Yes/No?
John: I DON'T CARE! JUST LET ME SIT DOWN!
Crappy: I'm sorry, I didn't understand your response. Please answer "yes" or "no".
John: NO!
Crappy: You selected "no". The seat will not be pre-warmed. Will you require a) Durable toilet paper, or b) Extra soft toilet paper.
John: ARRGH! I don't care! It's on the move! Umm...err..."b"
Crappy: ERROR #E4F0: EXTRA SOFT PAPER NOT FOUND
John: "DURABLE" THEN!
Crappy: I'm sorry, I didn't understand your response. Please answer "a" or "b".
John:
Crappy: I'm sorry, I didn't understand your response. Please answer "a" or "b".
John: Forget it. It's too late. "CANCEL". I'll have try my luck with the shower and the washing machine.
Crappy: I'm sorry, I didn't understand your response. Please answer "a" or "b".
Hmm, that's a couple of days before my birthday. I'll have just been paid too. And I'm taking the first two weeks of October as holidays from work.
It looks like my prophecy of spending my holidays/birthday sitting around in my underpants playing video games and eating Twiglets may be fulfilled.
Absolutely. Lack of Flash is one of the few things that stops me using Linux on my PPC Mac mini more often. (I like watching cartoons, OK?)
Gnash is getting better, but it doesn't really work that well yet. The browser plugin kills Firefox, and there's no sound.
Great. Now I have to spend the next 20 minutes scraping coffee and lung material off of my keyboard and monitor.
