  1. I'm holding out on Linux & Mac UT2004 Demos · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm still holding out for the OS/2 Warp UT2k4 demo!

    The OS/2 community will NOT disappear into the night without a fight!

  2. Rogers Cable on Canadian Recording Industry Goes After P2P Users · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Rogers Cable is my ISP. The other day I got snail-mail spam from them, promoting their Digital Video Recorder and a movie-on-demand service.

    I suspect they might crackdown on bittorrent movie downloads pretty soon... considering they have no monthly download cap.

    Hopefully they upgraded their cable infrastructure to support the additional load for the set-top movie boxes, otherwise I'll be one unhappy high-speed cable customer.

    And for those who dont know, Rogers also offers TV cable, Cellphone services, and operates a video rental store chain.

  3. Re:British Columbia on New Battlestar Galactica Series Greenlighted · · Score: 1

    if you think a Starsky & Hutch movie starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson is funny, I wonder what your reaction would be, learning that the latest Snow White movie is a martial arts flick, directed by Yuen Wo Ping, no less

  4. suprnova on BitTorrent's Creator Bram Cohen Interviewed · · Score: 1

    this article is bad news for suprnova.org, IMO

    if any anti-piracy people didnt know about it before, they sure do now.

  5. Re:I'm reminded... on RFID Tags For The Rich · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "I would if she wrote it down and faxed it to every other store that paid her a buck for the info."

    There's this Starbucks I regularly visit. I'm quite peculiar with how I like my favourite drink prepared, and I've asked for it so many times, that at some point they started making it as soon as they saw my face.

    But the thing is, I don't always order the same drink everyday, so after preparing a few for nothing, they've learned to wait til I ordered before starting to prepare it.

    Humans are fickle. Put that in your paper trail, and smoke it.

  6. Re:UT + Interstate 76 = Car Wars on Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo Released · · Score: 1

    a racing mod is the FIRST obvious mod-of-choice...

    i can foresee many cool vehicular offshoots from UT2k4.

  7. ya think? on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 1

    with the kind of following the Simpsons have, I fully expect, 20 years after the last Simpsons episode, a The Simpsons: The Next Generation (TS:TNG for short) series.

  8. Re:Old bands predict the future on Fly Over Mars... in a Robotic Balloon · · Score: 1

    another band I know from Calgary, The Forbidden Dimension, sings Martian Death Saucer:

    Catatonia induced by cathode rays from beyond Mars
    Infect their minds in the primetime slot, in colour they'll watch their own demise

    I watch the skies above alone, at night
    Return what's rightfully mine
    My Death Saucer will come
    Usurp the Earth from human scum, I 've been waiting

    In transmission I can see invasion imminent this day, I've been waiting
    From every corner of the globe - insects arise with jaws agape, I've been waiting

    I watch the skies above alone, at night
    Return what's rightfully mine
    My Death Saucer will come
    Usurp the Earth from human scum,
    I've been waiting here so long

  9. hydrogen balloon? sure on Fly Over Mars... in a Robotic Balloon · · Score: 1

    He must be British. The royal 'we' and all that.

  11. as the old saying goes on Blackout Cause: Buggy Code · · Score: 1

    give your dog a bad name and hang it.

    give coders a bad name and outsource them.

  12. Re:'Convoy' kicks ass! on Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo Released · · Score: 1

    no camping?! you havent played in the defending team, have you?

  13. Re:Brain size and cognative/communication ability on Animal Social Complexity - Intelligence and Culture · · Score: 1, Interesting

    if your parrot had offspring, would it teach them what it knows?

  14. Re:Interesting idea on Animal Social Complexity - Intelligence and Culture · · Score: 5, Funny

    Silly man. Dogs drink out of the toilet because the water is more fresh and cool than the water you put in their drinking bowl. Dogs own you. They make you walk around when you dont feel like it, and they make you pick up their poop after them. Dogs assimilate you into their culture in order to have you fulfil their every needs.

  15. some days on Animal Social Complexity - Intelligence and Culture · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I feel like an ant, going daily from the anthill I call my appartment building, to the anthill I call my workplace.

    And I wonder, what do the real ants think about me?

  16. Re:Remember : Space 1999 on Bush's Space Panel Seeks Public Input · · Score: 0

    did you know that eventually (far far in the future) the Moon will escape Earth's gravity and fling itself across the solar system?

  17. Sony DCR=TRV33 on Reviews for Digital Camcorders? · · Score: 1

    I have a DCR TRV22, but if I could go back in time, I would spend a little extra to get the 33.

    These two models pretty much have all the functions you'll ever need, including analog-to-digital conversion, which I used a lot til I ran out of old tapes to convert.

    My only beef with it is that when I got a protective filter to screw on top of the lense as a precaution, the provided lense cap wouldnt fit on top.

    I also got to compare my Sony MiniDV camcorder with my brother's Canon ZR45, and I still prefer mine to his.

  18. where can I buy on Enderle's Ferrari Laptop · · Score: 1

    a laptop that has an airfoil, a Type-R sticker and flame decals, so I can tell everyone mine's faster?

  19. before shooting comments off the hip about IR on The Real Reason why Spirit Only Sees Red · · Score: 2, Interesting

    maybe you should try taking infrared photos?

    most of the digital cameras on the market dont have countermeasures to prevent IR exposures, so feel free to experiment with various infrared-transmitting, deep red and light red filters.

    from my non-scientific experience, ultraviolet photos of rocks is more interesting than infrared.

  20. color me clueless on Moving Net Control From ICANN to Governments? · · Score: 1

    but i think the Internet should become even MORE peer-to-peer.

    a broadband server in every home and in every building!

  21. yet on BBC Argues Games Don't Cause Violence · · Score: 5, Insightful

    violent games and the statistically insignificant, high-profile gamer-related violent crime are very popular scapegoats.

    think of the children! especially the ones we don't want to take responsability of raising!

  22. well on Smog Busting Paint Breaks Down Noxious Gasses · · Score: 1, Funny

    are they going to paint cars with it?

  23. just do what the Brits do on BBC Links Linux To MyDoom · · Score: 0

    write a letter to the BBC to complaint about the shoddy journalism... and if you want to be really mean, tell them you're switching to The Mirror.
