  1. No problemo on Gamers Don't Care About In-Game Ads · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have no problem with in-game ads. It's those interminable in-game focus groups and surveys that make a game unplayable.

  2. Re:When the going gets tough... on Blue Security Gives up the Fight · · Score: 1

    I seem to have this argument every other day! Look! It's simple. A Werecanary normally has a human form, but turns into a canary when exposed to the full moon. Uh, unless it was a canary that was bitten by a werewolf, but I forget what we're supposed to call those. They're supposed to be pretty rare, anyway.

    I don't think I could ever be intimidated by an email

    Maybe they kidnapped his brother and sent him a cut off ear by email.

    Why stop at Mercanaries? Why not also hire parrots, cockatiels, toucans, and macaws?

    No shit! We need to start up a "legal defense*" fund for these kids.

  6. Re:Pirates? on Mac OS X Kernel Source Now Closed · · Score: 1

    Yeah, this really sucks for the, uh, something, uh, project. Is there any such project to create an alternate GUI for Darwin?

  7. Re:Irony on Mac OS X Kernel Source Now Closed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would suspect that the legal purchasers that are hindered and annoyed by this, if it turns out to be true, would be on the order of about 10. No, not 10 per cent. 10.

    Comparing it to Sony's rootkit is beyond absurd.

  8. Yes, consider the source on Sony Fakes Blu-Ray Demo? · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but Ulanoff writes for PC Magazine, best known for the writings of tech visionary John Dvorak(?!). Oh, and Dvorak's student-in-troll-studies, Jim Louderback.

    PC Magazine is, sadly, one of the worst examples of tech journalism out there. They're almost a parody of a tech magazine.

  9. Re:Stunning new black enclosure? on Apple Unveils New Macbook · · Score: 1

    If 1920x1200 resolution and a 15" screen are hard requirements for you, then why are we even having this conversation? Are you expecting me to try and talk you out of your requirements? Are you that desperate for an argument?

  10. Re:At last... on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 1

    Oh, sorry. I was confused. I thought you had seen the DVD with footage of the plane hitting the pentagon. In the special features, you can turn on the Bin Laden commentary.

    The one thing that I am fiercely curious about, that no one has seemed to mention, is how close the attack came to breaching the magickal containment properties of the pentagon. This could have potentially released the demon that has been trapped there in the center since the pentagon's construction.

    You should just admit that you're inexperienced and that you've never had a sarcgasm.

    Whoah! That's deep. I'm still trying to figure out what the Sharkasaurus is supposed to symbolize.

    Do you need to be slapped in the face with a halibut to recognize sarcasm? The sarcasm tag didn't tip you off?

  14. Re:At last... on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 1

    Oh, you've already wathced the DVD? Does the Bin Laden commentary track make it worth renting?

  15. Re:Probably not on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It all depends on what conspiracy theories he was referring to.

    I think he meant it would put to rest all those crazy theories that have recently surfaced that the government is engaging in illegal domestic spying.

    The timing of the tape release couldn't be more perfect, as a reminder to the populace for the reason why their civil liberties are being curtailed. Hopefully this will re-scare enough people to get Bush's approval rating moving in the other direction.

  16. Re:Oh, dear lord on Sun to Release Java Source Code · · Score: 1

    should we start calling you "non-dairy" or "half and half"?

  17. Horrifying! on Too Soon For A Columbine Videogame? · · Score: 1

    I find it totally shocking that the game author would use copyrighted images without seeking proper permission. Doesn't anyone take copyright seriously anymore?

    (how to miss the point, #47)

  18. Re:March out the anti-gunners .. on Too Soon For A Columbine Videogame? · · Score: 1


    They cover each others "back", and if you attack one you will end up attacking both.

    So, you're saying that in the game Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are metaphors for the First and Second Amendments?

    Gee, given your handle, is it any surprise what sort of Java you'd be focused on?

  21. Re:lives are at stake with leaks. on Reporter Phone Records Being Used to Find Leaks · · Score: 1

    Seriously, logic and set theory. Look at the sets. People is the set of people, regardless of their citizenship or birthplace. If the framers had wanted to restrict the set, they would have. They were very careful in crafting the language.

    How the framers defined "people" racially is another discussion, to be sure.

  22. Re:Stunning new black enclosure? on Apple Unveils New Macbook · · Score: 1

    Folder windows consume far too much space for the contents they're showing. Icons receive far too much padding.

    You do know that you can select column view or list view, don't you?

    As I said, I'm having no trouble running OS X on a 12" Powerbook. If you have trouble working with the limitations and trade offs entailed in using a smaller screen, perhaps you should look at the larger Mac Book Pros.

    Pronouncing them "unusable" is an overstatement.

  23. WWDC on Apple Unveils New Macbook · · Score: 2, Informative

    WWDC 2006 takes place August 7 - August 11, 2006.

    This is the likeliest date for an announcement/unveiling.

    The DVD drive is still a lesser one, but that's because no one yet makes a dual layer drive to fit in that size of a case.

    Ooh! Good call. So far the stock's down 2.91% on the day. :-)

    Which is known as a buying opportunity. Buy when the stock dips, not when it peaks.
