    Ummm WORMS started from a British country on the PC... MicroSoft keeps buying franchises from the guys who have good ideas.

    They are into acquisitions in the game market, not innovation.

  4. Seriously, innovate guys. on Nintendo's Iwata - Innovate or Die · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Most companies won't though.

    Pushing the same crap over and over is fairly risk free.

    God knows I own every Zelda game (excluding the 3D0 crap).

  5. Re:Past the deadline? on FSF Subpoenaed by SCO · · Score: 1

    maybe they wanted the stock price of SCO to fall before giving the SCO spinsters something to work with?

  6. Re:Great, but what about spam from outside? on FTC Porn Spam Regulation Now in Effect · · Score: 1

    ok you guys win, the law with prolly be unenforcable, but it will be trackable. But about the pleading ignorance thing... try that in a criminal case and you don't usually get too far regardless of the crime.

    NEWS FLASH!! This just in..

    Those "Untrackable" spammers are selling a product, a product via credit card. Don't think too hard on that one.

  9. Re:Killing off Jar-Jar on Can Star Wars Episode III Be Saved? · · Score: 1

    Was the idea that Jar-Jar dies to save Lucas from his recent movie making sins?

    (I am all about the beating part, but I couldn't put him on the same level as Jesus out of respect for Christians)

    So the rumors about Andy Kaufman coming back in elaborate overdone CG form and getting in a wrestling match with amidalla are true? ($10 on amidalla)

  11. Killing off Jar-Jar on Can Star Wars Episode III Be Saved? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Killing off Jar-Jar in the supossed lightsaber duel while surfing on lava scene would help.

    Makes sure it's a slow painful death with lots of burning from the lava. Tape his mouth shut too, so I don't need to hear his stupid voice. I say R2D2 should be the one that "accidentily" pushes him in. Cuz R2 is the comic relief pimp.

  12. Re:This is a good thing! on New York State Classifies Vonage As Phone Company · · Score: 1

    And prior to about 1998ish email and the internet were still very much not developed tech in the truly mass market. And guess what? You DID get access to them when you went to college. Not everyone needs a college degree for what they do, but most of them will need to be computer literate in the near future.

    You know what?

    All government programs are gonna have waste, someone will ALWAYS abuse the system, intentional or otherwise (I try and help them to NOT abuse the system and only ask for what they need)

    And I am find it rather funny that someone who HAS internet acces should complain. You see in lots of areas where there is little income and parents can't afford internet access. The amount of funding a school recieves is based on the schools students poverty level. Many of these student have no internet at home, and their school may not be able to afford it either.

    It's not the childrens fault their parents are poor. And don't try and rebuttle this with the old "Well we didn't need the internet when I was in school" bit either. Thats because you didn't need to be computer literate back in the day. You can't get an office McJob these days without basic understanding of email and the internet.

    And quit whining about the $2 a month you pay to the USF, you know why it is there? Because we broke up the telco's, they did all of this internally before "deregulation". With all of the the cost differences between urban and rural communication, this was a neccesity. The cost was already in your bill before, you just didn't see it itemized. And if you pay more than $5 you use the phone way too much anyways.

    And I also hate to break it to you, this is a socialistic capitalistic market. Healthcare is the same way.

    Hmmm.. I have an idea.. we could set up something like autopron but there would be end user clients that checked an image/movies MD5 checksum to an online database...

    Shit I need to get on sourceforge and do this..

    While you have a valid point about the parent post, you generally don't have the ability to call a normal phone line from an IM program without paying.

  16. This is a good thing! on New York State Classifies Vonage As Phone Company · · Score: 4, Informative

    This means schools and libraries will now have a better shot at getting E-Rate funding from the Universal Service Fund Again. Millions and millions of dollars were spent getting schools VOIP and the FCC decided that VOIP wasn't real phone service so they lost funding for it, almost closing many schools, public and private. If you have no idea what I am talking about, go to www.sl.universalservice.org for more info. You might be interested to find out where your USF charge on your phone bills go. (BTW I am an E-Rate consultant for schools, stephenisu@yahoo.com)

    If this will automatically categorize between hair color, body type, kind of shoot, **deleted content (think of the children)** etc... I could see many people paying more for it than Windows XP Pro.

    Dunno about you, but I play tetris while pushing multiple buttons at once (higher levels), now there are some darn good RPG's out there, and you can prolly make good use of in with the GameBoy link cable on some games for the Gamecube.

    If I had a quadrapalegic friend/family member/self I would get one for them.

    well to be blunt, it's a penis size contest. In order to keep national pride up, we have to continue to outdo other countries. That's how nationalism works, propagandize your penis > their penis. It used to be about who had the most resources, then the most military, then it moved on to higher level tech.
