    It isn't just redundant, it's repetitive too!

    Ahh, indeed. In any event, both are hilarious.

    Long Dark Teatime of the Soul, anyone?

    (Or maybe this one was from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency... I read them back to back several years ago, and now I can't keep them straight.)

    Especially because you aren't supposed to put a space in front of quotation marks.

    What about those that are joining the military currently? Surely they aren't ignorant about the current war and are joining knowing that they'll most likely be sent over...

    Should we be outraged about that, too?

    I'm an English major! Maybe that Nigerian Prince would give me some of that money in order to tutor him!

  12. Re:GAIM on New Worm Starts Munching MSN Users · · Score: 1

    I never had any problems getting any of my various services to work in Gaim for windows, but I use trillian too. I got fed up with fiddly bits of Gaim that either only partially work, or work in ways that don't make sense to me (such as the new away message system in the 2.0 betas). I'm a pretty technologically savvy person, but I'm no coder so I couldn't fix what annoyed me. In the end, Trillian has been much more user friendly to me.

  13. Re:looks like a mouse... on Razer's New Mouse Optimized for MMO and RTS · · Score: 1
    Amen to that! I bought a trackball for my entrance into the FPS realm (Deus Ex) and I have not turned back since. I guess I bought my first trackball (which is still the same one I am using right now) in 98 or 99, I can't remember when it was exactly.

    Long live the trackball!

    Sorry to bust your chops further, but the correct word would've been veritable, which implies metaphor. que sera sera.

    Actually, that "Jack" is a parenthetical. It should be set off by commas.

    There was a guy who did just that in Serial Experiments: Lain.

    You're fooling yourself if you're coming to slashdot for the "intellectual discourse."

    Or, maybe it happens between FRist P05ty and GNAA posts and I just miss it.

  19. Re:I wonder the same thing. on Why is Kingdom Hearts II So Popular? · · Score: 1
    yeah, it's not difficult. But I still enjoy it.

    I think the little gimiks are fun, to be honest. It's a good game to play when I want a good story without having to think too much about the game. Sure, that turns a lot of people off, but it allows me the sense of escape that I'm looking for.

    To each his own, I suppose.

  20. Re:I wonder the same thing. on Why is Kingdom Hearts II So Popular? · · Score: 1

    I know, I know. Don't feed the Trolls. Since when did I follow the rules? I review games, as a matter of fact, and I enjoy KH2, simply because it's a goofy, fun game. I enjoy the, often, light-hearted antics of Donald and Goofy, but I also like how the story has gotten a little darker. It's hard to make a truly dark game when you're playing along side of Donald and Goofy, but they do a pretty good job. I bought it, and I enjoy it, and I'll also be buying the Wii and new Zelda games (both for GCN and DS) when they come out. Not everyone hates nintendo as much as you love it.

    However, how difficult would it be to write an operating system that offloaded floating point operations to the GPU, and everything else to the CPU.

    Because then it wouldn't be Windows, which is what the (majority) of the target market uses.
