  1. Re:Pressures of the market, my fanny on Disney Does Digital, Ditches Drawings · · Score: 1
    You're right.

    ICE AGE was a huge hit, but I cringed at even the previews because the cg looked so low-rate.

    -all about content

  2. It also on Microsoft Moving Into Chip Design With Xbox Next · · Score: 1
    It also puts them in the same position as Sony and Nintendo.

    /me thinks that they will still have things to base x86 pc stuff, and this is just hype. Microsoft never does more than it has to. If anything, they bought some design from bitmapbros or some coherent startup.

  3. Excerpt from Software Tycoon Scenario Listing on LGP Announces Three New Linux Games · · Score: 1
    Valves of Terror!: Difficulty- Terrible

    You have been hired by a software company mired in stolen code, missed release dates, and excuciatingly large swimming pools of cash generated from selling data freely available on the internet.

    Objectives:

    Eat doritos, install firewall (level 1), gain at least Level 2: Hacker Spite.

  4. SCO: The Movie on SCO to Take On Hollywood · · Score: 1
    This would be great, to see the headlines keep on coming:

    1. SCO sues PIXAR, DREAMWORKS, workstations number #444-#555
    2. SCO sues lunchbox for carrying linux diskettes

    Okay, so maybe I can't visualize all the headline hilarity. The fact remains that SCO is amazingly, publicly, stupid.

  5. Okay on Literacy: Natural Language vs. Code · · Score: 1
    It must be said. Duh!

    OH LOOK A CAR

    1. We can't talk to it
    2. We can't kiss it

    OH my gosh! We will have to work with it in car terms and use car specific TERMINOLOGY and TOOLSETS!

    A technorevolution! We 'r' evolving, write a book!!!!!!#@#!

    Here's what disgusts me, this is obvious stuff. Yes, Computer code is the most efficient way to work with a computer because we designed computers that way . Once Apple makes iHappy and everyone interacts with an upper level speech recognizing AI we will all just be yelling at our computers to get things done and entertain us.

    To sum it up again (-1 redundant statements here). DUH! YES COMPUTERS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

  6. EA=teh film industry on More Game To Movie Translations In Progress · · Score: 1
    So we all wanted really good films based on video games...but now they're just making more crap + using broad concepts/plot ideas from the games.

    Meh, lets see Super Mario Brothers 2: Time Travelin' Koopas all-ready.

    but he wasn't using any os a t all. it was just 'movie graphics' on the screen with big letters and such.

  8. But do I have the rights to on Apple to Launch iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    Download the one song I want for a video I'm making, burn it to a cd, rip the wav, and then put it in adobe premiere??

  9. Are we supposed to say linux? on Michigan To Purchase Record 130,000 Laptops · · Score: 1
    I would go with windows.

    Then kids would be learning the most prolific productivity environment, and the special kids (eg high school 3dsmax club) would be able to have thier cake and eat it too.

    The maintanance would be minimal if we could set them to automatically install all of the latest windows updates.

    But I would most likely go with a linux solution (samba/whatever) for the backend. That way we wouldn't have all the hacker worries and just have to deal with email worms, which we could buy software for if neccesary.

  10. I'm going to have to applaud. on Google Tracking Frequent Users · · Score: 1
    I just have to give it to google, they know what they're doing as they are doing it well. It's unbelievable the business model they have built up upon quality service and nothing else.

    What they offer they offer the best of, and for free (google, blogger, all the google features that could be considered seperate ventures)

    If I wore a hat, I wouldn't mind a salute to the model they're following. Go google!!!

  11. This sounds like good stuff. on IBM Introduces 'Air Bags' For Laptop Hard Drives · · Score: 1
    I've had a laptop (my first one EVAR) for about a month now, and no problems with my sometimes flipity flop and all around movement of a powered laptop. But this sounds like a much safer way to fly.

  12. I like the idea of... on EA Muscling In On Hollywood? · · Score: 5, Interesting
    "...or could make the rights to movies very expensive."

    EA's mass-marketization seems to really be hurting the overall creativity within EA's titles, or should I say derivitals. Suddendly, Need for Speed must be like "Fast and the Furious". The 'wachowski effect' peppers literally every action title they produce, and all thier music is EA TRAX, taken from the suit's top 40 list.

    Where's the titile-specific creativity. Each EA franchise used to carry indudual characteristics and dev quirks. In some ways, now it has become all the same.

    Kinda like what happened to artists on the radio. Though EA seems like the only company that can actally pull this off, and I doubt it will actually become the prevaililng model in the industry. For now, it's the in thing though.

  13. "It's too bad DNA won't be around to see it," on Hitchhiker's Guide Movie Greenlighted · · Score: 1

    That's exactly why it was greenlighted. He isn't around to not see it go into horrible commercial production via Michael Eisners greedy pet cat.

  14. Re:Snapster on Will Legal P2P Music Distribution Succeed? · · Score: 1

    Meh, just pay per song and be done with it, or more generaly, just pay and be done for it. I mean, come on, you don't need that much music.

  15. Sheesh on Xbox Auto-Update Blocks Linux Usage · · Score: 1
    It's an x-box, a closed console system. Get over it.

  16. Bad title on Serious Games Help Business Decisions · · Score: 1
    This article should have been called "Fr33 Gam3!!! OMG!!"

    Maybe it would spark more discussion.

  17. Re:p2p is the future on Has P2P Become a Passing Fad? · · Score: 1
    You bring up a very good point. Massively distributed internet traffic could mean lower costs for businesses, and finally more things for free on the internet again.

    Then the riaa finds the proxy servers and demands they be logged/monitored.

    That just means that you're introducing centralization again. When some l33t 3uit finds the proxy, BAM. Knock 'em down!

    EA sucks, at least right now they do. They should stop sucking and start losing some money like civilized gaming companies. Sheesh.

  24. If you ask me on University Textbook Exchange Software · · Score: 1
    We should just abolish it all and establish ClearType as the new standard for publishing.

    At least in colleges, I mean. If I had web versions of all of my texts I would be able to get around with much less of a load, have the text for reference, and keep the good ol' dust monkey at home for some serious infinite resolution text viewing.

    I would enjoy it much, but oh well. Heck, I don't even have to buy my textbooks.
