  1. Re:Uh, Firefox has this also... on Opera's Slashdot Easter Egg and Speed Dial · · Score: 1

    I didn't know about the 'slang' and 'wp' keywords (thanks for those!), but I've been using bookmark keywords for a long time now, mostly for docs in HTML form that are tucked around the place on my PC. I give the bookmarks small keywords and access them exclusively with those.

  2. Re:Getting close to "Snow Crash" here on Second Life Hit By Massive In-Game Worm · · Score: 1

    > should they call this the Sonic Worm due to the ring-like nature of the worm?

    Nah, just ringworm should be adequate.

    (Yes, I am aware that ringworm isn't an actual worm. Quit spoiling the joke will ya ;) ).

    Dupe!

    Oh wait....

  4. Re:Funny Related Links on Firefox 2.0 Posted a Day Early · · Score: 1

    Damnit, I interpreted that as a backreference and it took a while to understand because I was looking around for what $1 would be replaced with. I'll get me coat...

  5. Mr Thompson and Blue Nuns on Jack Thompson To Face Contempt Charge · · Score: 1
    Sort of off-topic, but I saw Jack Thompson on a Channel 4 television show just the other week - Real Blue Nuns (hmmm... bluue nu-uuns). Up until then, I hadn't seen him in anything but images online. As such, I hadn't heard him speak either, and I was quite surprised by how relatively well composed he was. I wasn't, however, surprised by his views ('sin' this, 'sin' that - "yeh, whatever... let's get back to the nun's gettin' it on, shall we...").

    What with the way we've heard him conduct himself in court proceedings, I was expecting him to be all up in arms about it like some crazy religious preacher man. Hm, maybe he was having a good day. Whatever, I think the next game I write will be a GTA play-alike with a Hot Convent mod which will unlock all manner of delicious sex acts, graphically depicting them in detail whenever Father Emilio - the main character - gets jiggy with the pious hot babes.

    On a serious note, it was probably not a good idea to give him yet more media exposure. And, to veer this ramble back onto something resembling the topic, IMHO it's a good thing that Take-Two Interactive have called for this. Judging by the following quote (and pretty much anything else he's ever uttered) this guy really needs bringing down a peg or six.

    "You want to play hardball...? You want to try to throw me in jail? You have no idea what you are unleashing in doing this. You're at the brink..."

  6. Re:Okay, I think I stand for all of us when I say. on Jack Thompson Files Take-Two, Rockstar Lawsuit · · Score: 1
    and you can always make up your grades
    That's a useful bonus. I think I would have given myself straight A*s.
