    I am sorry for that post, it was as hard to write as it was to read.

    Yeah there's always at least one person who has to look at copyright backwards.

    That should help that person. You are quite welcome :-)
  8. Re:waste of time on AACS Revision Cracked A Week Before Release · · Score: 1

    I like that it runs past start time, As I seem to have trouble getting to the movies on time, and usually enter the theater 10 minutes late :-)

    What's the difference between a lawyer and a catfish? One is a scum-sucking bottom feeder... The other is a fish.

  10. Re:I switched at home on Will Dell Be Bad For Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    I work for a Dell shop and am thankful the purchaser chose the gold support packages, I get to speak to Americans that seem to like their job, allow me to email them directly for future issues, and will gladly send replacement parts/ act as a sounding board for ideas. my experience with HP has been less than stellar ( most printers here are HP) the tech was friendly, but wouldnt answer his phone, and getting a return label took a week, an online form, which said to call and then spend 2 hours with 4 different people, most of which having a tenuous grasp of the english language. I am happy Dell seems to be supporting alternate OS options.

  11. I need more sleep on New Ubuntu Project Code Named 'Gutsy Gibbon' · · Score: 1

    I keep reading it as "Composted" not "Composited". I was thinking, there's something to be proud of, eco-friendly and disgusting.

  14. Re:Am I the only one... on Valve Talks Episode One · · Score: 1

    I enjoyed it, I started playing CS late in the game (when I got cs source). Natural Selection is an excellent game, as is dystopia. BrainBread isn't too bad either, shooting zombies in the face is a great way to vent

  15. Re:Am I the only one... on Valve Talks Episode One · · Score: 1

    You aren't the only one, but on the plus side, we got CS source and DOD source. CS source is so much better than CS in my humble opinion. I like the cover that reacts to bullets/explosives.

  16. Re:Yet another reason... on The Worst Bill You've Never Heard Of · · Score: 2, Informative

    The US Government is not a Democracy, it is a Constitutional Republic. There is a huge difference. And the reference to the US as a democracy is a common mistake many people make.

  18. Re:Manager called 911 on Best Buy Invaded By Blue Shirt Improv Artists · · Score: 1

    If you can tell me exactly how/what they were demonstrating. I would be interested in your point.

  19. Re:Manager called 911 on Best Buy Invaded By Blue Shirt Improv Artists · · Score: 1

    but that was New York City (I think) so there would be no shortage of "Real Emergency" situations. I think 911 was misused, local law enforcement should have been called. the number is in the freaking phone book

  20. Re:Finally on 'Revenge of the Nerds' Remake in the Works · · Score: 1

    The Stand was a good miniseries which I guess is about the same as a movie. the book was in excess of 1200 pages. Of course, by good, I mean my definition of good which hinges on many points that are hard to qualify. It even got me interested enough to read the book.

  21. Re:Since when on Prying Open the Cable Market · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I work for a cable company. Television signal and advanced services (VOD, PPV, High Speed Internet) are all distributed from the headend (Our satellite base station). There is really nothing to be gained by sharing the lines from a services standpoint, as the incumbant is already trying to build service capacity/line quality so we can compete with telcos in the telephony field and high speed internet. The reason CATV companies are pushing for this is that the bandwidth required for these services are very cheap and represent a high yield of return. I cannot see how the price would improve by sub leasing the lines either, as the incumbent pays Franchise fees to the local municipality for the privelage of doing business in the area, these fees would also be passed along and the equipment/manpower utilized would likely be the same techs/contractors who are accustomed to working for a certain wage. I could be wrong and I am not in the business aspect, so I dont know what our markup is.

    nope, incourages baking.... mmmm. biscuits

  23. Re:Off by an order of magnitude... on 20 Titles At Revolution Launch · · Score: 1

    The Games will be saved to system's flash memory most likely. A half GB sould hold a good many NES games, as with the roms I had were at most 256K. Genesis games are pretty tiny too. I think the roms with the old games would fit nicely. If more space is needed, you could probably hook an external storage device using the Revoulution's USB ports. I would like to end this with a disclaimer that the details for the Revolution will not be released until E3 and likely will be leaked past then. Nintendo is really good at showing just enough to tempt you into paying for the show.
