    No, that'd be what the Germans would have called it.

    Old ideas don't disappear, they simply shift.

    Psh, I write backends in ASSEMBLY. Java/PHP/Perl/Python suck.

  5. Re:Warren Commision. on New Video Game Recreates Kennedy Assassination · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You know, I've never really cared who killed Kennedy. Did the gov't lie about? Don't really care. If they did, add another mark on the "Lies told to me by the gov't" score board. If not, doesn't matter. It isn't going to bring JFK back to life.

    If it did, then THAT'D be a news story.

    Tetris is the best game ever. Simple. Elagant. Addictive. 2nd are all the bust-a-move clones.

  7. Warren Commision. on New Video Game Recreates Kennedy Assassination · · Score: 5, Informative

    I was look around on their site earlier. Seems to me that the point of this game is to get people to question the findings of the Warren commision by showing how impossible it is to pull off.

    If you can, they offer a $100,000 reward. Sounds like it's bot time to me...

    What about that lion/tiger half-breed from a while back?

  10. Re:Can I not have so many floating boxes? on The GIMP Gets Ready for 2.2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm going to assume that you have multiple desktops. Fairly common for a linux system, to a lesser extent in Windows even though the feature has been around for a while.

    Go to a clean desktop, start gimp, do whatever you want to do. Use another desktop for running whatever else you need/want to run at the same time. Now, I know that in the window manager I use (fluxbox), tasks that are running on one desktop are not shown in the taskbar of another desktop.

    With this setup (which seems intuitive to me) I don't have the problems you mentioned.

  11. Re:Three steps before GIMP is taken seriously. on The GIMP Gets Ready for 2.2 · · Score: 1

    I think it's a matter of preference and ability/inclination to learn a new way of doing things rahter than usability problem. Gimp does what it does just fine, and can rival PS in the hands of someone who is used to working with it. I'm not trying to say that photoshop is a crap product, far from it. I'm just saying that if you want free, open-source software to be prepared to learn a new way to do things. Either that or write some code to make it do what you want it to do and contribute it back into the project. If it's such a hassle for people to get over the fact that there is no MDI parent window or learning how to group tasks together so that all of them come up at the same time: buy photoshop.

  12. Re:Can I not have so many floating boxes? on The GIMP Gets Ready for 2.2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can never quite understand this argument, no matter how many times I hear it. Take out the MAIN window in photoshop, the one that serves as a dock and menu interface, and you have several floating windows. Exactly the same as the gimp.

    Here's a bit of the obvious. Before marijuana was criminalized, it was perfectly legal.

  14. Re:lots of other victimless crimes to worry about. on Anti-P2P Law Looms over the Horizon · · Score: 1

    Can a network give a potential advertizer a guarentee that X number of people will see their commercial? From what I understand, advertisizers pay for the potentional to reach customers. They don't pay less or more than the given rate for whatever time period they want to advertize in depending on how many people tune in. True, that rate is determined by historical trends based on ratings, but that's just an educated guess.

    Some people would rather have better quality. The only game that I tend to play is tetris, but I can understand the mentality involved. What you are saying is basicaly the same thing as asking a movie buff why they want to go see a movie at an IMAX theatre when they could see the same movie on a portable display with monophonic sound.
