  1. Re:Can someone rip an AVI of that? on MPAA to Launch Anti-Piracy Commercials · · Score: 5, Informative

    The commericals can be viewed here. Only one up for now, but the rest will be up later I suppose.

  2. Gobbles' previous security advisories on Slashback: :CueCat, Exercise, Wormage · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "The outlandish claims are part of a "security advisory" supposedly written by a group called Gobbles Security. However, the message bears little resemblance to the group's other advisories and also seems to make fun of Gobbles' habit of posting vulnerability information and exploits without notifying affected vendors in advance."
    Eh, I don't know what they're reading, but just about every previous Gobbles advisory looks like that. The trademark Theo bashing, poor grammar, and other things. Most likely false, but most likely them.

  3. Re:I agree on Has the RIAA Wormed 95% of P2P Networks? · · Score: 1

    Egh, all of Gobbles reports have that wording, for the most part. And it does a good job of making people not believe what they said in the past and voila! They come true. It's prolly a hoax, but I'm not positive just yet.

  4. Re:The Cyberiad on Slashback: Tenacity, Freedomware, Lem · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Look, old boy," said the machine, "if I could do everything starting with n in every possible language, I'd be a Machine That Could Do Everything in the Whole Alphabet, since any item you care to mention undoubtedly starts with n in one foreign language or another. It's not that easy. I can't go beyond what you programmed. So no sodium." There's your answer, hehe. What a great story.

  5. Why trust a company... on Slashback: Panama, Leeches, Comeuppance · · Score: 1

    who doesn't even use the software to "protect" their site. Try putting www.anti-leech.com into their security tester. This entire site and their products are jokes, I'd wager.

  6. It's too bad on Burn your genes on CD -- for $500,000 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Anyone who buys it won't find out they have the Sucker Gene until they get their disc.

  7. Re:Wow! on Five PVR Users Allowed To Join Replay Court Fight · · Score: 1

    A modded up goatse.cx post. That's gotta be one of the signs of the apocalypse, right?

  8. Re:Not really that great... on One Step Closer to NWN for Linux · · Score: 1

    I've heard lots of people rag on the storyline of NWN, and frankly, it isn't a masterpiece like the Baldur's Gate series, but it has it's own merits nonetheless. I found some parts of it amazingly done (Charwood anyone?) and the rest just all around well done. Whatever floats your boat tho.

  9. Sigh on One Step Closer to NWN for Linux · · Score: 1

    OH well, at least it's eventually. I bought the game while I was on Windows (I've switched fully to Linux) and thought a few weeks after I'd be able to play Neverwinter Nights on Linux, and well, that still hasn't happened. I must say the progress of the Linux binary has gone a long way from "In the box support" to a Fall 2002 release. Nevertheless, I applaud BioWare for still making it, I just wish it had come out during the peak of my love of NWN. Oh well, keep up the good work BioWare!

  10. Re:Um, stuff that matters? on Wanna Work for Dave Taylor & American McGee? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Hey, nerds (At least ones who are into gaming) may be interested in this. Hell, if I was old enough, had refined my programming skills enough, and could move out there, I'd be all over it. Face it bub, it does matter, and people are bound to be interested in it. Plus, your car prolly sucks.

  11. Since it wasn't mentioned... on Seventeen Years of Tetris · · Score: 2, Informative

    ... I feel obliged to mention the best form of Tetris, IMHO, Tetrinet/Fast. This is a multiplayer form of tetris with specials (Add lines to opponents, clear lines on yourself, etc) and Tetrifast (Changed exe), removes the line delay between drops. Truely an addictive game to play with friends. You can grab the stuff @ http://www.tetrinet.org

  12. Re:Only the most obvious shops...... on Anime Stores, Rentals and Theaters? · · Score: 1

    Is this store in Northern, Central, or Southern Jersey? Hopefully Northern, than I could get there in a decent amount of time...

  13. Why should I consider that fact? on Warcraft III Gone Gold · · Score: 1

    In all honesty, I could care less if they tried to take over the US government and wear beanie hats with little propellers. If the game looks good, I'm gonna buy it. I'm just surprised that you didn't put a comment like that about the Neverwinter Nights toolkit's EULA.

  14. Re:Rabid Speculation on Win32/Linux Cross-Platform Virus · · Score: 1

    I wish there was such a thing, I've got loads of conspiracy theories.

  15. Rabid Speculation on Win32/Linux Cross-Platform Virus · · Score: 1

    Well, heres something a bit interesting to think about. Maybe Norton made the virus. Why, you may ask? It very well may have been made so companies running linux will be fooled into buying their software. Seriously, if people keep migrating from Windows to Linux as it matures, where's Symantec's business gonna be?

  16. Re:Give up Bill. We have you surrounded. on What's the Business Case for Microsoft and Open Source? · · Score: 1

    But has the M$ Empire lasted hundreds upon hundreds of years yet? Maybe the worst is yet to come when Linux Vandals and Goths decend upon Redmond and sack it...

  17. Re:This could hurt Nintendo on PS2 Price May Fall, Gamecube Staying Put · · Score: 1

    Take a look at Resident Evil, bub. The graphics on that game are simply amazing. Real time shadows, beautiful textures, the characters look photorealistic and it's generally great. Not to mention it's a fun game!

  18. Re:Prove it ... Where is it ... on Bootleg Star Wars AotC Debuts on Internet · · Score: 1

    You want it? Go search newsgroups. It's a VCD, hint hint. But why would you want it? The FTF release is ass, picture quality is ass, sound is ass and the overall production is ass. I saw the sample and let it stay where it was. Now if it was a Centropy release ^^ (And yes, I am going to see Ep 2. I've got close to every Star Wars novel, two different versions of the trilogy on VHS and more)

  19. Re:The Original Solid State is Better on PDAs For Kids · · Score: 1

    It worked with the Pointy Haired Boss from Dilbert, why not anyone else?

  20. Re:Oh Boy! on Spriggan Released On DVD · · Score: 1

    "Japanese animation sucks. I have yet to see any that looks any better than the original Spiderman or Mighty Hercules." Look at Full Metal Panic! (Recent release in Jp. or Love Hina, or hell, anything recent. Nice attempt at trolling tho, bub.)

  21. What do you expect? on Connecticut To Store Biometric Information · · Score: 1

    Oh, this is only the beginning :/ I can see this becoming the norm in all states by the end of the year, maybe DNA Archives in a year or two, until there is no such thing as privacy, all under the guise of "Safety". Oh well, things hapen and hopefully things will change.

  22. Re:Mods here are sony fanboys lol on Is Realism Destroying Video Games? · · Score: 1

    Yah, I guess. I love my Dreamcast to no end, hehe. OH well, what can you expect...

  23. Re:Not Quite on Is Realism Destroying Video Games? · · Score: 1

    * facefaults, anime style. Funny? I wasn't joking... :/

  24. Re:Not Quite on Is Realism Destroying Video Games? · · Score: 2, Funny

    No way, no no no no way. Dreamcast has some of the greatest games ever created. First off, you've got some really excellent RPGs, like Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy STar Online, Grandia 2, and more. They've got sports titles that can't be beat, some really great fighers (Soul Calibur) and now, with it pretty much "dead", you can buy games at rockbottom prices. I still love my Dreamcast more than my Gamecube... until RE remake comes out for Cube :D

  25. Re:retrovirus information on Gene Therapy Cures "Bubble Boy" · · Score: 1

    Well, there are drugs that do block reverse transcriptase, but have limited results. Examples of which are AZT drugs and derivitives. If you want a good site with stuff about HIV + retroviruses, check out http://www.cellsalive.com/hiv0.htm
