    I for one hope that you stop posting in tt.

    It's annoying as all hell.

  2. Re:even if it's "half finished".... on Mozilla Project Hurt by Apple's Decision to use KH · · Score: 1

    Ah, sorry for the confusion.

    I'm referring to the expanded size of the browser, not the size of the download, not the size of the installer. I don't think download size is a good metric, given that the various compression tools used do not compress equally.

    It's 38.3MB on OS X, which is the only platform on which we can compare it to Safari.

    Chimera is 20.6 megs.

    Safari weighs in at 7.2 megs, Mozilla is 38.3 megs.

    Safari has a ton of room to grow before it achieves Mozilla's mammoth size.

    Regardless of this, Safari is far more than halfway done.

  7. down my pants! on Data Mining Briefly Explained · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The important thing about Natalie Portman's grits isn't that she eat them, it's that she pour them down my pants.

    If she wants to eat them after that, well, that's fine, but any pleasure derived from that would be purely auxiliary.

    In conclusion, I would be delighted if Miss Portman would be so kind as to pour some hot, steamy grits down the front of my trousers. Thank you for your time, and have a pleasant day.

  9. you don't get it on Slides Of Microsoft Anti-GPL Advocacy · · Score: 5, Funny

    See, Microsoft is a Big Evil Company. Their interest isn't making money, it's robbing people of their freedom. Withness the Internet Explorer debacle. Microsoft knew that I wasn't going to make them a nickel, but they released it for free so that they could take away our right to someone else's browser. Shit howdy, man, they don't care if they lose every nickel they've got so long as they get to keep robbing us of our rights!

    Don't you see, man? They're eeeeevil. So evil that anyone who alleges that they did something evil is automatically right. So evil that when they release good software we must overlook the fact that the software is good and instead focus on how they are bad.

    Microsoft operates the world's largest kitten and puppy grinding facility! Fact!

    Metroid or not, it's a semi-goofy controller setup. It's impossible to change visors while moving, for example. Ergonomics simply don't allow it.

    Playing the game for a while really changes things. I can understand why people get so pissed about the controls, though. They do take time to get used to. Most folks who play the game at Best Buy or at a friend's house don't play long.

  15. prime's control setup on Wired News: 2002's Greatest Vaporware · · Score: 1

    I've heard that a lot. The thing is, there really isn't any other way to do it. It's an odd meeting of a funky set of commands with a funky controller.

    It kind of sucks, yeah, but I don't think they could have done it better.

    Metroid Prime : exceptional gameplay
    Super Mario Sunshine : exceptional gameplay

    There are still fun games being released. Good gameplay isn't gone, it's just being drowned out by all the crap out there.

    Of course they're the minority, like in anything. How many movies came out this year that were focused on viewer enjoyment rather than glitz and flash?

    "Why not use everything in our power to maximize (safe) production of food so that the world can eat?"

    Uh, people aren't starving due to lack of food. People are starving because governments decide to starve them.

    There's plenty of food to go around, it's just not being distributed.

    Don't label people who are protesting backfires as "environmentalists."

    See, I happen to be an environmentalist and I don't oppose backfires. Most environmentally conscious people don't. The people you heard about aren't environmentalists, they're idiots.

    I'd like to think there's a difference.
