  1. Re:Blah, bring back Futurama on Fox Considering a Return of "Family Guy" · · Score: 1

    Futurama was also ten times as expensive, whereas Family Guy is probably just about within Cartoon Networks budget, now the Adult Swim is a proven success.

  2. Re:Which conspiracy? on Apple G5 Ads Banned In UK · · Score: 1

    Nintendo zealots surely?

  3. Re:Not quite... on Phantom Game Console Presentation · · Score: 1

    Now that we have jobs and money and free time to kill, we're looking for these consoles on eBay.
    Someone's in for a bitter dissapointment.

  4. Re:Nothing new here on Maya now Free for Personal Use · · Score: 1

    3D Studio Max is 500 dollars or less, and has 15 years of artist and programmer acceptance

    I think you must mean $3500 and about 6 years of history, since Max was a ground up re-write, and bears absolutely no resemblence to the original 3d Studio, in either interface, principles, or API. The basic Maya seat has been $2000 for a couple of years now.

    I've used Max, back when it was the cheap option. We use Maya these days, because in general, it rocks.

  5. Re:No! on New GameCube Network Loader Runs Homebrew Games · · Score: 1

    Why would you want Linux on a Cube, anyway?

    Because it's there!

  6. Re:Apple mice on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    You do know that the software happily handles mice with a kajillion buttons, they just ship with a single button mouse.

  7. Re:Stupidest prediction EVER! on TV's Tipping Point · · Score: 1

    >> "audiences will want to organize and re-order content the way they want it"
    > No, we dont, we want to use one button on a remote.

    Someone's not used a DVR. She's talking about watching what you want when you want. She's talking about TiVo, which is this little thing that's shaking up the tv industry... you might want to look into it.

  8. Re:Still haven't learned their lessons on Half-Life 2 Delayed Following Code Leak · · Score: 1

    *cough* BULLSHIT *cough*

    Someone has no fucking clue how teams develop code.

  9. Aphex on Newest Audio CD DRM Proves Ineffective · · Score: 5, Funny

    Copies made while the driver is active will sound badly garbled, as in this 9-second clip [10].

    That's not garbled, that's the Aphex Twin mix!

  10. Re:Some things for most people: on Geek Eye for the Average Guy · · Score: 1

    > Plug each of your players into an input on the reciever.

    Hmm...

    TiVo, VHS, DVD, PS2, GameCube, Xbox, and Dreamcast.

    Anyone do a reciever with 7 video inputs?

  11. Re:JAVA is the suv? on Phillip Greenspun: Java == SUV · · Score: 1

    That's possibly the best idea I've heard in a long while.

  12. Re:Ipod question on New iMacs (and iPods) · · Score: 1

    You may be spent in 30 seconds, a gentleman can keep going all night long.

  13. Re:Ipod question on New iMacs (and iPods) · · Score: 1

    Sasha and Digweed are prog-trance poseurs. FSOL did a classic 12 hour radio set. Danny Tenaglia regularly runs his sets for more than 8 hours.

  14. Re:Ipod question on New iMacs (and iPods) · · Score: 1

    It only takes a couple of decades of serious CD collecting, and you need the 120Gb iPod.

  15. Re:Geeky shows on Joss Whedon's Firefly Coming To The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    "The good news, however, is that they've struck an agreement for new Family Guy episodes."

    Giggetygiggetygiggety! Oh yeahhhhh!

  16. Re:69 dollars worth of software on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 Released · · Score: 1

    "So, err, what did you do for the last three hours?"

    *long pause*

    "Surfed the web."

  17. Re:Are these TiVos? on Sony's Linux DVR Can Record Two Weeks of TV · · Score: 1

    Also note that TiVo doesn't operate in Japan.

  18. Re:Underdog?? on ATI Wins Bid For Next Xbox · · Score: 1

    This is true. The EE is a joint venture, but the GS is home-grown. The GameCube even has an ATI badge on the front.

  19. Re:I might not be speaking for everyone, but I say on Win32 Blaster Worm is on the Rise · · Score: 1

  20. Re:Sure, whatever on Specs for Sony PSP Handheld · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember PS3 specs leaking out quite awhile ago... and then eventually changing to be marginally less impressive.

    Since the PS3 specs have still not been finalised, I reckon your memory's on the fritz.

  21. Re:Cheap internet? Hah! on Want 12Mbits/sec for $21? Move to Japan. · · Score: 1

    That's more like it. Colleague pays $1200 for a 1 bed, we pay $1650 for a 2 bed.

  22. Re:Cheap internet? Hah! on Want 12Mbits/sec for $21? Move to Japan. · · Score: 1

    $800 for a 1 bed in West LA? That's a good deal!

  23. Re:Thoughts on Philip K. Dick, The Matrix, Mystici on Philip K. Dick Speaks (Sorta) · · Score: 1

    Mod parent back up, it's about the only plausible explanation left.

  24. Re:Rash Accusations? on On The Trail Of Super-Zonda · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, Alastair Campbell, the british Ari Fleischer.
