  1. Re:The real question is... on Nintendo To Take On Apple With DSi App Store · · Score: 1

    The DS can, with the right hardware to enable homebrew: http://www.dslinux.org/

  2. Re:Well, screw Britannica on Britannica Goes After Wikipedia and Google · · Score: 2, Informative
    Well, I typed "Wikipedia download" into Google, and lo and behold, the first link was to Wikipedia (not Britannica):

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_database

    You can download the whole of Wikipedia from there.

    Hell, I bet you 10 bucks the old duffer doesn't even vote.
    From the article: "He ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor of Georgia in 2006."

    I'll take my $10 now. Or you can just donate it to Child's Play in my name.
  4. Re:Ignore this nonsense. on Animal Crossing MMOG / DS Flash Card Rumored · · Score: 1

    No, you're wrong. Newer version of the firmware for both the R4 and the M3 (and presumably other flash carts) will auto-DLDI patch homebrew apps that you run on them.

  5. But what about the Wii? on John McCain's MySpace Page "Pranked" · · Score: 1

    Tried it on the Opera browser on the Wii, and although it didn't crash it completely, it did dump it back to the start screen.

  6. Re:I've got a bad feeling about this on Star Trek To Return Christmas 2008 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What about a DS9 movie?

    Well, since Babylon 5 is over, what storyline would they have to steal? I suppose the writers at Paramount could just ask JMS to please write a few more episodes, so they'd have something to copy from, but I hear he's pretty busy these days with other projects... ;)

  7. Re:Enterprise eventually learned on Enterprise Finale Airing Tonight · · Score: 1
    "DS9 was very story-driven, and was probably inspired by the heavily storied Babylon 5."

    If by "inspired by" you mean "ripped off from" then yes. You must remember than in the early days when JMS was shopping around the idea for B5, he brought it to Paramount. They read over all the information he had, including character lists, pre-production art, and the outline of the 5 year story, then said "No, we're not intersted." Six months later, they hold a press conference and anounce their plan for a new Star Trek series, this time based on a space station!

    To this day, I still don't know why JMS never sued them for whatever he could get. It was very obvious to anyone that was following the birth of B5 back in the Compuserve days what had happened. And to anyone that compares the stories as they played out.

  8. Re:Please oh please push the reset button on Enterprise Finale Synopsis Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not quite. Sleeping in Light was always ment to be the series finale. It was filmed at the end of the 4th season, just in case the show wasn't brought back. Once JMS got word of the 5th season, Deconstruction was written to take it's place as the last episode of season 4, and SiL was tucked away for a year.

  9. Obligatory Simpsons quote: on Experiences with Laser Eye Surgery? · · Score: 1
    From Springfield in the year 2030...

    [Bart and Ralph ring Flander's doorbell.]

    [Ned answers the door. He's wearing dark glasses and carrying a cane.]

    Ned: Jesus? Is that you?

    Ralph: Mr. Flanders, you're blinded-ded!

    Ned: Oh, yeah. I never should have had that trendy laser surgery. It was
    great at first but, you know, at the ten-year mark your eyes fall out.

  11. Florida Tech? on DARPA Announces Grand Challenge 2005 · · Score: 5, Informative

    As a proud dropout of Florida Tech, I'd just like to point out that the "Florida Tech" link goes to an article about the University of Florida. If Florida Tech is competting, I wish them all the best luck. Here's the correct link to their website: www.fit.edu

    Godwin's Law:
