  1. Re:Anonymous Coward? Tommy??? on GTA-Styled True Crime Gets Final Verdict · · Score: 2

    I think they're referring to the nameless, voiceless wonder from GTA 3, not Tommy Vercetti. That was, IMHO, one of the biggest reasons that the plot for Vice City was better than GTA 3. Even if they had just made him grunt at people it would have been an improvement.

    Real nerds probably don't use Windows though, I would argue.

    Thanks for the compliment, I've never been happier to say that I use Windows at both home and at work.

  3. This isn't the first time... on Friendster Fights Fakesters · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Similar problems have faced other sites, such as the old Love@AOL. A friend of mine used to work in that department years ago. For the longest time, someone had a personal ad posted with their pictures being John Candy in drag from the movie Nothing But Trouble. I'm pretty sure it was taken down once someone figured it out.

    Before that happened, someone tried to post a picture of a Cardassian from Star Trek. Turned out the guy was an extra on Deep Space 9, but they still wouldn't let him post the picture in his profile.

    The point being, there always has to be some regulation at a site like Friendster, otherwise it can't be used for its original purpose. I'm not going to waste time trying to track down old friends or expand my circle of friends just to get an email saying "The Brooklyn Bridge wants to meet you".

    Your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?
