  1. Gandalf Spoiler on LotR Two Towers Trailer Online · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why would they show Gandalf in the preview?

    I know about 60-75% of the people have read the book, but I still think it doesn't make the preview any better and it spoils it for that 40-25% left. I have many friends that are going to be pissed when they see this

    Oh Well, i guess it a movie made mainly for the fans.

  2. Re:Brasilians do not have last names? on World Cup Final · · Score: 1

    What about Roberto Carlos?

  3. Re:Worst world cup ever!! on World Cup Final · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have nothing against you country, but you must be nuts if you claim that your refs are half as good or experienced as europeans or south americans. The elite of players deserves the elite of referees. I doubt there are many games in Trinidad & Tobago with over 3000 people

    Also, I've seen the replay thousands of times, read newspapers all around the world, etc... and yours is the first opinion I see claming it was fair to disallow the goal. Can you point out any proof of your claims?

  4. Re:Are there drug tests? on World Cup Final · · Score: 1

    Just wanted to let you guys know that this years drug tests have been always performed by Korean doctors. FIFA was too cheap to bring doctors from foreign countries (unlike real crapy refs from all over the world). Some people think this explains the awesome physical level of the home Korean team

    Did you see them agains Italy? It looked like 25 koreans against 11 italians

  5. Worst world cup ever!! on World Cup Final · · Score: 1, Insightful

    To me the world cup lost all it's value this year the second Spain was unfairly kicked out of it. I've seen many games stolen by referees, but what happened in Spain-Korea was unheard of. I guess bringing soccer (and all its business) to the asian market is pretty important for FIFA

    Same thing happened to Italy and Portugal, pretty much every decent team that played Korea. Whether you think it's a big plan to let Korea reach semifinals or just a logical consecuence of letting refs from countries like Uganda or Trinidad and Tobago reach this phase of the WC, there's something wrong here and it has screwed this year's world cup

    BTW, people in Spain took it very seriously. There's this site that's holding a contest of fake pictures of the ref. The prize is suposed to be a trip to Uganda, the home country of one of the linemen.

  6. Who needs manuals when you have O'Reilly on RTFM = Read the Funny Manual? · · Score: 1

    That's part of what makes O'Reilly books so cool, all those notes about practical stuff surounding the book's actual theme. I particularly like the intro to "Learning Perl" (long time ago ;-)) or some of the stuff between pages in Essential System Administation.

  7. Re:Better than USB 2? on 1394 Trade Association Adopts FireWire Brand · · Score: 1

    . With USB 2 out now, why does anyone need Firewire? There's no iPod for USB2 that i know of :-)

  8. Always though Sun was all about hardware..... on Solaris 9: Sticker Shock · · Score: 1

    Wow, this surprises me, I always though Sun's primary source of revenue was their hardware, the OS was a way to get people to buy their hardware. That's why I thought they dropped Solaris 9 for the Intel architecture: It wasn't worth developing since they weren't selling any hardware with it.

  9. I just hope they'll keep Flashback FM on GTA3: Vice City Announced · · Score: 1

    You just can't beat that "Scarface" soundtrack while playing GTA. I don't know, maybe "Pulp Fiction" would come close

  10. What about games? on Nintendo Drops GameCube Price to $150 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    All this "console war" is great, but still can't afford 60+ for a game that's going to last me less than a week.
