    The file extension says .ogg so unless you want to get into bullshit semantic arguments with everyone you run across, I suggest you try to get the developers to change it.

  3. Re:I can't wait for GTA: Boise on Rockstar Announces GTA San Andreas · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Rockstar has stated numerous times that GTA4 won't be appearing until the next generation of consoles is out. They want the jump from 3 to 4 to be like the jump from 2 to 3. Someone said it earlier 'Revolutionary rather than evolutionary'. The current consoles are practically tapped out running GTA:VC.

    That's nice, unless you're using an Nvidia video card and you want it to actually USE its acceleration capabilities. It took me three weeks to get Nvidia's drivers properly installed because I have to have some obscure option enabled for it to work with my monitor.

    Call this an issue with Nvidia's drivers if you want, but that's exactly the point.

    My point, moron, is that people making less money does not mean that food is cheaper, housing is cheaper, transportation is cheaper, and clothing is cheaper. It just means people don't have much money.

    No, dipshit, it wouldn't. If the average American (we're not fucking USians, goddammit) made $.70/h, you would have what's called a DEPRESSION. We had one of those a few years back, you might want to read up on it.

    "In order to fight the alleged Microsoft monopoly, the Chinese government is establishing quotas for open source software. While the details are still unclear, the government may require that up to 70% of software on Chinese computers is open source."

    If that were the article, you'd all be spooging so hard your pants would explode. This is simply China's goverment saying that they will use mostly Chinese-made software. What's the problem with that?

    Hell, dude, I first ran across a Playboy when I was like 8 years old. BOOBS ARE COOL! I love boobs. If my 8 year old was sneaking peaks at Playboy... GO ON! Have fun! Boobs are cool!

    But the same kid running across nipple-clamped, shit-eating, donkey-blowing, baseball-bat-taking, fisting, goatse-stretched hardcore FUCKING... no. Uh-uh. It's been said before, Playboy isn't pornography. It's naked women. Naked women are cool. Naked women with a guy up to his elbows in her ass is NOT cool, especially when you're 8.

    I made the switch cold. Went from a Windows user of 10 years to a Mandrake user overnight. I had no installation problems and was pretty much up to normal speed in about a week. I'm currently using Fedora and it's great. Super smooth installation, better than Mandrake's even. The only problems I've had have been related to specific pieces of software. The distros themsevels are generally solid, but the individual components need some touching up.

    Choose one.

    A) You leave your kid with a babysitter for an evening. While you're away, the babysitter figure it would be fun to rape your kid and take some pictures. He then sends these pictures to all of his sicko pedophile friends.

    Or

    B) You are at a bank when it is robbed. The cameras catch a clear shot of the robber's face and it's broadcast on the evening news for everyone to see.

    So, which do you want? Child rape or bank robbery? If you can't tell the difference, you're too goddamned stupid to continue living and I implore you do shoot yourself in the face.

    BTW, I really hope that I'm not alone in the fact that PEOPLE JERKING OFF TO PHOTOGRAPHS OF CHILDREN BEING RAPED really pisses me off and disgusts me.
