  1. Re:steam = SUCKS on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 1
    Some of us DID say "Yuck Fu" to Valve and we're NOT playing CS. . . Grow a pair and stand up for your convictions or do us all a favor and adjust the volume of the bitching ("you're on 8 now and we need you around 2")

  2. Re: meh... you're forgetting love of the art on RIAA Sues More Music Lovers · · Score: 1
    Maybe we could just enjoy the works of those who create for the love of the creation... Or are you insinuating that "artists" only produce "content" for reimbursement?

  4. Re: Loose Lips Sink Ships on Classroom Bullies On The Internet · · Score: 1
    I got that same lecture from a boss. It seems that the Customer Service Manager was mad that I was hired as Training Manager instead of her (sexually-like-minded) "friend". So she went through the company email and found a note from me to my buddy laughing about how much I hosed them on relo (i.e. making them pay what they agreed and not giving them money back because I got a good deal through MY efforts).

    Lesson Learned. I even spin some of my "sensitive" texts in the assumption that they will be read back in a court of law...

    I like this part:
    Kim Penney, the mother of one of the Gillispie boys, said she had since removed the Internet cable from the computer in her son's room and insisted that he hold online conversations only where she could see them.

    `Cuz they only make 1 "internet cable" per computer-thing...

    I usually forget and lose the money, so now I tell my wife she can keep the money if she'll do the rebate paperwork.

    She loves it and I don't have to mess with it, yet we don't lose the "income".

    Essentially it is theft, perhaps not the "proper" textbook version of theft

    Why not just call it "Rape", then??? It's still not text-book, but it implies something much worse than lowly "Theft". Yes, by your logic, let's label all people who apply No-CD cracks as "Rapists".

    That GOD-DAMNED Family Tree Maker nearly caused a Divorce in my household... "There is a reason it costs $5 after tax," I said. . .

  13. Changing In-Movie Ads on Hollywood afraid of Microsoft · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Actually, this is quite an idea. They already have the technology to replace "Coke" ads for "Pepsi" ads on live TV during soccer/football/baseball games, so it's not too far of a stretch to think that they could replace "Lexus" for "Microsoft" and then again for "Hudson Hawk 3: The Glistening" at their leisure.

    I'm sure the DVD releases will replace all those ads with self-serving ads, like previews fro the newest "Studio ABC" release, or simply a shout out to their own company! I'm still sick of all the product placements from "Minority Report" and I feel it's only going to get worse. . .

    Yes!

    I thought I was the only person to ever buy this thing. I love mine and could not imagine trying to game without it now... They even have a newer model out now with MORE buttons (I never thought 10 + directional wouldn't be enough, yet here I am with Far Cry!)

    In conclusion, go buy it and thank me (and Parent) later...

    Every creature in the game can be killed by shooting with the shot-gun, running back behind the last corner, and then waiting for it to wander around and shooting it again.

    Sounds an awful lot like real life!

    If you can lift the bike and still leave an un-altered copy of the bike for the owner (who wouldn't be able to tell you ever even existed), knock yourself the hell on out. . . Pick one up for me too!

    I've been skeptical and correct far too many times in the past to blow the streak on something like this.

    I think I'll wait and see what my geekly brothers have to say before I assume it is anything other than a faster way to have your data deleted.

  23. Re:Exploding CD on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1
    I had a CD explode inside a CD-RW drive with no provocation. Just a loud BAM! and a weird look from me to my wife. When I ejected the tray, it poured out little silver chunks everywhere. I tried my best to take the burner apart, but I couldn't get all the shards out.

    I wound up getting a replacement on loan from a friend and sent some hot lead flying through the defunct drive (along with a couple of IBM Deathstars... good times...)
