  1. Will this have.... on Roswell Declassified · · Score: 1

    a negative impact on the economy of Roswell, NM, if the UFO hunters just...stop coming? Or if the UFO conventions end?

    I seem to remember seeing a tv show about Roswell, and the big alien based industry that's based there, which won't be happy about this.

  2. Re:Oh Yeah! on Does Gaming Reduce Productivity? · · Score: 1

    There is one.

    It's a conversion of "House of the Dead" called, oddly enough, "Typing of the Dead".

    You type letters or words to shoot the bad guys, and the faster you type the words, the more the dead things get shot......

  3. I just have this fear... on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    that when I go to see the film, the people at the cinema will tell me I can't, cos.... There Is No Film.....

  6. No...Don't hold back on Can Game Developer Unrest Lead to Revolution? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Tell us what you really think.....

    More to the point tho, does the write actually suggest anything that might be DONE about this problem, this "palpable sense of frustration"?

    Just my £0.02

  10. Re:Monopoly Buster on New Antitrust Complaint Filed Against Microsoft · · Score: 1

    An adaptation of a popular phrase applies here. "One man's distro is another man's coaster...." What you think is an "awesome linux distribution" might not be for the next man. What you see as "loads of great features", they might see as "far too much junk". That's not to say that your disto ISN'T great. It's just that it might be tailored to your linux usage. Also - can open source really have a monopoly? And if it did, why would that be any different to a Windows monopoly?

  11. The question is... on New Lucasfilm Campus Breaks Ground at Presidio · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Will this campus actually improve films, or is there still room in films for plot and characterisation? Or have all films become so obsessed by graphics that the story no longer matters....... Scrab

  12. Re:Stick a fork in this country on PATRIOT II Legislation Leaked · · Score: 1

    I thought you could do it within the constitution....

    Isn't there some clause in the constitution that states that if the government becomes unworkable, it is the right and duty of each citizen to remove it, by force if necessary? Or something along those lines.....

  14. Re:Napster gets pulled at last?... on 802.11 vs. 3G For Mobile Access · · Score: 1

    I'd be the first person to kill the first person I saw using this on the bus. I mean, come on....It's just a hi tech way of saying "I'M ON THE BUS"....

  15. Re:Napster gets pulled at last?... on Bertelsmann Looking At Pulling Plug On Napster · · Score: 0

    If we hadn't nailed it to the perch, would it be pushin' up the daisies?

    True, but it's already inbuilt in some. Morpheus wontlet the 2 folders be the same.........

  19. Re:Mozart's Moonlight sonate.. on Fallout from the Internet Debacle · · Score: 1

    I apologise if I sounded like a troll. This was not my intention.

    To be fair, I'd pay, but I never had the problems that people talk about on Audiogalaxy, so I don't have the same incentive to change. If i got soemthing it was complete, and what it said on the box.

  20. Re:Too early in the morning to be this cynical on Fallout from the Internet Debacle · · Score: 1

    The imcompleteness is fairly easy to sort tho. Simply have a "holding cell" for incomplete sings which isnt shared on the net. So songs you're downloading will go there, and when they're complete,. they'll move to the active shared directory. I think some apps alrady do that....

  21. Re:Mozart's Moonlight sonate.. on Fallout from the Internet Debacle · · Score: 1

    Don't know what you were downloading....The Moonlight Sonata was by Beethoven......

  22. Nice article... on Fallout from the Internet Debacle · · Score: 1

    But I think it makes too much sense for people like the RIAA to even contemplate it......

  23. Anyone ever seen.... on When Brains Meet Computer Brawn · · Score: 1

    Ghost in the Shell? I don't know about other people, but when I think of people enhancing themselves with machines, that's the first thing that comes to mind.....
