  2. Re:Fuck you, ya bald headed ol' fart on Driving Away Teens With High Frequency Noise · · Score: 1

    This post is fantastic if you read it in the voice of Zed from Police Academy.

  3. Psst! on Driving Away Teens With High Frequency Noise · · Score: 1

    Heh, we used to take turns going "PSST!" really loud whenever the teacher's back was turned, so it sounded like a can of Coke being opened (food and drink in the classrooms was forbidden).

    That used to drive them mental. :)

  4. Re:OK, who else saw this... on Hollywood Buddies up with Bram Cohen · · Score: 1

    I've seen it. It starts off really slow, and the ending felt quite rushed.

    Hey, I'm a Linux sysadmin, and I resent that! I put on clean jeans today, and my t-shirt with the least holes and stains.

    I had a shave last weekend too!

    What about an Intel PowerBook running Windows ME?

    I think you just summoned Cthulhu with that.

    ...With blackjack, and hookers! In fact, forget the Internet.

  10. Re:How to boycott? on Bad Day To Be Sony · · Score: 1

    Another way to boycott a recording company while being able to listen to the music, and staying legal, is to buy CDs second hand. This also works with movies. At least the labels don't get any of your money, and it's cheaper than new!

  11. Re:why opensource SD drivers don't happen on Linux Tablet to be Released in Two Days · · Score: 1
    So SD drivers have to come from the manufacturer of the device

    Gamepark Holdings are supplying the SD drivers as part of the firmware on the GP2X, so I guess it comes down to them then. Oh well. At least they plan to continually update and revise the GP2X firmware though (they're pretty responsive to what their customers want), so if demand for SDIO is large enough, then they may include drivers in an update.

  12. Re:this sucks, on Linux Tablet to be Released in Two Days · · Score: 3, Informative

    The GP2X certainly does have SD drivers. There are people using SD cards with their GP2Xs right now.

    Plus, with the fact that the GP2X is really aimed at developers and hardware enthusiasts, I think it's reasonable to expect that there's at least a good possibility of SDIO drivers. There are some pretty talented developers in the GP32/GP2X scene.

    I hope so anyway. Bluetooth would be quite handy. :)

  13. Re:this sucks, on Linux Tablet to be Released in Two Days · · Score: 1

    This is true at the moment, but the GP2X apparently does have the potential for using SDIO cards if someone comes up with the drivers.

    That's a big if though, I'll admit :)

  14. Re:Tired of hiding.. on Old School Gameplay Collides With Modern Graphics · · Score: 1

    Jedi Arena ruled! Don't tell me that people hate Jedi Arena...

    I'm also a fan of Star Wars Rebellion though, and that seems to be widely disliked.

    How long before someone implements something like "W32/SmellMyFinger.A"?

  17. Re:Such as? on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    Please, just give us a (-1 Clueless) mod. I've needed that one a couple of times. ;)

  18. Re:Really too bad! on Gizmondo Tilts At Windmills · · Score: 1

    I have one on pre-order. The first batch should be sent out in a couple of weeks. Since it uses Linux and SDL, it should be easy to port new games and apps to.

    To quote the official UK site:

    It's open. You want to develop your own games for the GP2X? Go right ahead. The SDK is included with the system free. Not since the days of the Amiga has a system been so easy to develop for, commercially and for fun.

    Haha, from the site:

    "What is DHMO?

    Dihydrogen Monoxide, or DHMO, is a colorless and odorless chemical that kills or maims thousands each year, primarily through accidental inhalation."

    Brilliant. :)

    Woah. It says that the Amiga version requires the 512KB RAM expansion board. This game's going to rule!

    Yeah, I saw that. How about you code up an edit-post feature for Slashdot, submit it, wait for it to be patched in, and then I'll come back and edit my post. ;)

    Well, this year, Slashdot updates it's code, Debian Sarge is released, and Apple switches to x86.

    If DNF comes out as well...

    Let's just say that that would be the fourth horseman.

  25. Re:Books are victorious on Games Can Make Us Cry · · Score: 0, Redundant
    I'll also admit, I've almost come to tears once or twice while playing a game where a primary character dies off unexpectedly or unfairly.

    I have to admit, I cried like a bitch when Aeris died in Final Fantasy VII.
