  1. Re:Jumping the space shark on Enterprise Getting New Aliens, Hairdos, Weapons · · Score: 1

    Matt Groenig and perhaps Conan O'Brien.

  2. Re:the "problem" with Enterprise... on Enterprise Getting New Aliens, Hairdos, Weapons · · Score: 1

    Firefly kicked ass. I have every episode :)

    Anyways. I kinda like Enterprise, I find it mostly tolerable, and more enjoyable than DS9 and later voyager episodes.

    Only three good things ever came out of Voyager, in my opinion:

    - The Doctor and (later, perhaps less "good") his mobile emitter (that 20th centry episode was hilarious - Earth was supposed to be in the middle of a clone war in that timeframe)

    - The USS Prometheus (That ship kicked ASS, I want one!)

    - The USS Relativity

    Now, a few words on the Relativity: When the 5th trek series was announced, I had serious hopes that the story would center around the Relativity. Especially when I heard that Scott Bakula would be involved. I thought that the potential for a radical departure from cookie-cutter trek fare was well overdue, and that a 29th century time ship would be the perfect way to get away from it.

    I mean, think of the limitless potential for stories? It would be truly infinite.

    Alas poor dreams, but you were dashed upon the bow of an inferior ship.

    Everything's okay - he works for FOX. We're safe.

  4. Re:Apple pricing suddenly looking better? on RIAA Settles Suits Against Students · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Probably only slightly.

    But on another note, Kudos to apple for pulling off a service I might actually use one day :)

    They seem to have a nice selection of some of the rarer stuff I'm interested in, which is very neat.

    Yeah! That's right! Fight the power!
  6. Re: It seems more like... on Review of SuSE 8.2 · · Score: 1

    That's a very subjective comparison. We all know that XWindows itself sucks and nothing can be done to save it.

    I mean,

    XWindows=Pam Anderson "Sucking A Big Cock"

    And it's written by Eugenia, so it's guaranteed to drive people into depression.

    I think Grok is a frog. It sounds like a good name for a frog.

    Grok! Grok!

  9. Re:Heh on SBC Getting Aggressive With Frames Patent · · Score: 1

    The patent system is icky. I mean, just look at the outrage over the GIF patent a few years back. Then there's the patent on the concept of hyperlinks themselves.

    I think that "ideas" should not be patentable, only physical devices and _maybe_ some code should be patentable.

    On the other hand, if I patented Terrorism, I could make a killing.

    (Pun not intended.)

  10. Re:Heh on SBC Getting Aggressive With Frames Patent · · Score: 1

    Alright, alright, I admit it. Sometimes they work.

    I just detest them. I've seen them used effectively in few places, and used absurdly in many places.

    The needs of the few do not outweigh the stupidity of the many.

  11. Re:Heh on SBC Getting Aggressive With Frames Patent · · Score: 1

    Frames are more complex than SSI, when you consider the potential overhead required.

  12. Heh on SBC Getting Aggressive With Frames Patent · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who uses frames anyways? They are SO three generations ago.

    Current web admins use CSS and positioning.

    Previous web admins (well, me, and I think slashdot and sourceforge and such) use tables.

    Frames are (or at least should be) extinct.

    Who said I never get laid?

    WHO TOLD, DAMMIT!?!?!

    (hahah)

  14. Re:How to request NOT to carry the channel? on Want Anime Network on Your Cable System? · · Score: 1

    The point is that the folks who don't like it are not going to vote, and they are not going to watch.

    So even if the anime channel gets added to the lineup, it will surely fizzle and die due to lack of true viewership.

  15. Re:Anime vs Sports on Want Anime Network on Your Cable System? · · Score: 1

    If not windows users, then OS X users who get bitchy when people call OS X "just FreeBSD with a pretty front end".

    I avoid Linux :) I use Windows XP, 2K, and FreeBSD.

    And to stay on-topic, I don't like anime! Wee. I do like sports, though. Like a true geek, I prefer to observe rather than participate. :)

  16. Re:Victory for ZIM! on Want Anime Network on Your Cable System? · · Score: 1

    I don't know either :) I was going for "Funny" with the Pizza Cats reference.

    Dub-ya. Dub-ya is the evil one.

  18. Victory for ZIM! on Want Anime Network on Your Cable System? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is Invader Zim anime?

    Probably not. Ah well. I don't really watch any anime, except maybe Samurai Pizza Cats, so I won't be demanding anime network locally. :)

  19. Re:Matrix this, Matrix that... on VPR Matrix 200A5 Reviewed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The funny thing is, people don't know what it means. I mean, they go out and buy cars called "Matrix". And then they get offended when they hear the phrase "Shaggin' Wagon". Silly Nutty People. (There are several meanings for the word Matrix, of course, but the common meaning is analogous to "womb")

    The VHS mechanism is broken, however, so it cannot load tapes properly. I use direct A/V output as my webcam :) Excellent quality with a BT848 card.

    Now is the perfect time to sell my Hitachi VHS camera on eBay. I mean, it even claims to be artificially intelligent. Gotta fetch a big price.
