  1. Re:It will be no surprise if Apple does this on Apple to Lock OSXi to Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    If I could hack and tinker with OSX to make it run on my Thinkpad, I would most definitely buy a copy.

    The best laptop (with more than one button!) and the best desktop/laptop OS. It's a perfect match, in my opinion.

  2. Re:insightfull on The Phantom...Lives? · · Score: 1

    They've also implemented a few key techonolgies from the Rockwell Automation Retroincabulator.

    This'll surely help them boost synergies, leverage teamwork experiences, integrate dynamic company intercommunications as well as move their mind share forward in a customer centric and mission critical way.

    $DEITY, I feel so dirty now...

  3. Re:Just goes to show... on E3 Critics Award Winners · · Score: 1

    And oddly enough, it looks strikingly similar to these speakers...

  4. Re:Nintendo's comments are pure gold! on Next Generation Cat Fight · · Score: 1

    As well as those of us who happen to enjoy watching explosions and haulin' ammo as well as fiddling around with insidious puzzle games :)

    *goes back to... work*

  5. Re:Had to post this on EU Deadline Approaching for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Right you are.

    It's been a while since I played either game...

  6. Re:Had to post this on EU Deadline Approaching for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Isn't there a rule in Monopoly that lands you in jail if you roll three sixes in a row?

    Or is that just the danish round board "Matador" version?

  7. Re: Not too old! on Spielberg & Lucas Approve Indy 4 Script · · Score: 1

    Sir Sean really should be James Bond, if only just once more, simply because his voice IS Bond.

    Nobody does the "Bond, James Bond" shtick quite like he does.

  8. Re:Suddenly I feel like David Carradine... on Your Chance to Meet Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    I'm not old enough to remember the original release, but I made up for that by buying it on DVD.

    Machine Gun Joe gunning down the audience for cheering on Frankenstein is one of the greatest scenes in movie history.

  9. Re:Depends on technology on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Buckling springs are the epitome of keyboard contruction. My 1980-something IBM Model-M with the clickety-click keys, no windows keys and the extra-long detachable cord just keeps on truckin'.

  10. Re:What about the music? on The Art and Design of Quake 4 · · Score: 1

    It says on the Sonic Mayhem website about the Quake 2 soundtrack that they "produced all the level music for this release". I'm fairly certain Rob Zombie did the intro music, though, the dropship sequence and all that.

    Sonic Mayhem also did the soundtracks for the two Quake 2 mission packs as well as Quake 3 Arena and Team Arena. Oh, and weapon sounds for Unreal Tournament, too ;)

  11. Re:5.4 Dedication on FreeBSD 5.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Here's to you, Cameron. I didn't know you, but I'm sure you were a great guy.

    I'm having a beer for all the people who have overcome their physical and mental handicaps and done everything they could to function normally in society, as hard as it might have been. And also for their families who helped them through everything and never stopped loving.

  12. Re:Help promote their new torrent option, on FreeBSD 5.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Where are the ones for Alpha, I wonder?

    Mostly I want to see if 5.4 can disklabel my Alphaserver 1000A disks. 5.3, 5.2.1, 5.2 can't even boot, and 5.1 can't label the disks :-(

  13. Re:Microsoft is Bipolar on Live Picture of the Next Xbox · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's "indigo" to you! :-P

    All the Indigo ones were sold out when I bought my GC, so I had to choose between black and green. I chose the black one, but had there been an orange one, I would not have hesitated in picking that one up instead.

  14. Re:Headphone jack? on Live Picture of the Next Xbox · · Score: 1

    Did anyone ever find out if that damn gem really did anything? I'm still absolutely convinced that it was nothing but an evil Blizzard in-joke, as in "Look at all those weenies trying to figure out what that non-functional gem does!".

  15. Re:What about the music? on The Art and Design of Quake 4 · · Score: 1

    Trent Reznor did the original Quake soundtrack, which was great in its own moody and spooky way, but I don't think his style would fit the Quake 2 very well.

    Sonic Mayhem did the soundtrack for Quake 2, and the raw feel really fit the atmosphere of the game. I really hope they're doing the Quake 4 soundtrack, what with Quake 4 being a sequal to Quake 2 and such.

  16. Re:Good, some balls. on Taking on an Online Extortionist · · Score: 1

    I couldn't care less, honestly.

    I do wear Mjolnir in a chain around my neck for a reason, you know ;-)

    It never comes off, and on the rare occasion where I have to enter a church for some reason, the reactions are hilarious.

  17. Re:Good, some balls. on Taking on an Online Extortionist · · Score: 1

    OT, but your sig rocks!

    Mind if I adopt it?

  18. Re:Oh, the possibilities on PlayStations of the Cross · · Score: 1

    "The power of Christ impales you!"

  19. Re:It's true. on Acquittal in Drunken Homicide via GTA · · Score: 1

    It's easier to just pause the game by going to the menu, and then putting in the code a few times. When you return to the game, all the codes you put in while in the menu are activated instantly.

  20. Re:In other news... on Microsoft Migrates Internal Servers to 64-bit · · Score: 1

    The VW Lupo 3L has a 3-cylinder diesel, and it's acutally fairly quick. And it drives 100km on 3 litres of diesel.

    It's downright speedy if you throw a compressor at it (like some of the high-end diesels available).

  21. Re:Pufftris on Bastard Tetris Hates You · · Score: 1

    You could try out Tetanus On Drugs. It simulates playing while high, twisting, turning, distorting and flipping the image, all while playing wonderful MIDI music.

    It gets insanely hard after a short while.

  22. Re:Secretary on 'Xtreme' Equipment That You Have Borrowed? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "Borrowed" or "burrowed"?

    Inquiring minds want to know.

  23. Re:Meh. on Quake IV Details Emerge · · Score: 2, Informative

    One example and another

    Now, I won't claim that these shots prove the viability for outdoor maps on the Doom3 engine, but they do look promising. The first screenshot from the first link is especially good, I think. The trees underneath the power lines really are that far away. And the map plays really well, too.

    I can't find it right now, but somewhere on the Doom3World forums is a screenshot of a really friggin' big landscape, so big that the Cyberdemon put in is only a few pixels tall at a normal gameplay resolution. And that was with a pretty good framerate, too.

  24. Re:DVI vs Analog on Budget LCD Monitor Round-up · · Score: 1

    If you're using Windows, open Paint, go to Image->Attributes, put in the correct resolution and select Black And White instead of Colour.

    Now, one of the colours you can select should be a black and white checkerboard (6th from the right on the bottom, I think). Use the Fill With Colour tool and use it on the image, and there you have it: a pixel-perfect black and white checkerboard, which is perfect for adjusting analogue-connected LCDs.

    Now you just need to display it full-screen. Allow me to recommend IrfanView.

  25. Re:Pinball helped me nab my wife! on Portrait of The Last Remaining Pinball Wizard · · Score: 1

    Well done. I salute you!

    You lucky bastard.
