    But from what I understand thats nothing compared to Korea.

  6. Re:If something gets shot down once... on Broadcast Flag Back in Congress · · Score: -1

    I have a better idea! Have someone tack on an amendment banning corporately sponsored lobbying groups onto a bill to give congressmen a raise. Then just keep re-introducing it! I doubt it will take long to pass.

    "Please visit SuprNova.org every once in a while to get the latest news on what is happening and if there is anything new to report on. As we wish to maintain the nice comunity that we created,"

    They are probably getting close to a beta release of Exeem, or at least have something planned otherwise why would they say that?

  10. OH on Macs Do Star Wars Dirty Work · · Score: 1, Funny

    I CANT WAIT! for the super extended hyperspace collectors addition where they replace Han with a pink bunny named Lulu Astro-whiskers and replace all the blasters with walkie-talkies!!!

  11. Re:So What? on Top Banned Books of 2003 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    "* Where's Waldo?
    Well, I understand this one. It's not even a book really. Banning this is like banning television from the school library. It's just not really an appropriate item."

    Perhaps it teaches attention to detail?

  12. I just quit my job in tech support last week on Tech Support Levels Dropping · · Score: 0, Funny

    I just went insane after having to tell people things like how to turn on their computer, how to turn it off, and being asked "Is that a capital number 1?" As far as I'm concerned the Indians can have my job and the retards that go with it.

  13. Re:Will we see a new era of game compatibilty? on Transgaming releases "WineX" 4.0 "Cedega" · · Score: -1

    I'm sorry for not blowing you away with my post, the point is that from where I sit it seems that gaming is what drives most of the computer industry development. I don't need a 3ghz chip and 128 MB video card to view websites and write an email. I am also not planning on running any major scientific experiments so why bother upgrading and getting a new OS or a new computer except for the latest and greatest games. The point is that if the people who develop Linux want it to be more widely adopted they should focus on incorporating the ability to play windows games into their OS so that Wine isn't necessary. That way, the next time the non Linux user goes shopping and looks at his options he won't say "Linux stability sounds great but I can't do anything fun with it, I guess I'll just have to shell out another 100$ on Windows" Now, I have probably just said something that has already been said 10,000 times before, and chances are it will keep being said until someone actually listens. Life is repetition so stop wine-ing.

  14. Will we see a new era of game compatibilty? on Transgaming releases "WineX" 4.0 "Cedega" · · Score: -1, Redundant

    If so I'll be happy to ditch Windows, the only reason I use it at all is for gaming. Once Linux can run games and other programs that previously could only be run on Windows it will only be a matter of time before Linux becomes the dominant desktop OS.

  15. Correct me if I'm wrong on SpaceShipOne Flight Completed Successfully · · Score: 0

    When I jump I escape earths gravity for a split second the only reason I fall back down is because I loose the thrust my legs provide when my feet leave the ground. However if my feet didn't leave the ground (or had a rocket up my arse) and was able to continue at the same speed I would continue going up and eventually hit space. Since my windows don't shatter when I jump I assume I'm not going 25 times the speed of sound. Forgive my simplistic view of things but this is the way I see things.

  18. That's Easy on Is The 32-Bit Gaming Era The New Retro? · · Score: 0

    The first one that comes to mind is Die Hard Trilogy, what could be better the driving down a crowded sidewalk having blood splashing all over the windshield only to have the windshield wipers go back and forth and Samuel L Jackson scream out OH NO! or something. Another good game was FOX HUNT (http://www.gamespot.com/ps/adventure/foxhunt/read ers.html) which was unlike anything I had ever played.

Nelson) steal a few bikes, do a stick up at the Quickie Mart, rob Kent Brockman meet up with Snake bust a few of his buddies out of prison by driving a car though the wall. Do some hits for Mr. Burns, plenty of possibilities. Besides it can't be any worse then any other Simpson's game.

  23. Re:Overheard at Canadian equivalent Future Shop on Worst Explanation From Tech Support? · · Score: 2, Funny

    "From bash.org: @FirebirdGM> I just called my Futureshop and asked them how much a 20 GB Hard drive weighed when it was full with information, compared to when it was empty. @FirebirdGM> The guy that was on the phone told me that it was only a few pounds difference. @FirebirdGM> And that's why I don't shop at futureshop." After reading that I called where I work (as tech) and asked one of the girls the same question who was working at the time, she didn't know how to answer, she was fired by my boss a week later, oops

    There is a show on the learning channel that tested this myth out they found that it's impossible to start a fire using a cell phone in a room full of gas vapours, static works extremely well however.
