    Or kill em both, like in The Lion King ;)

  2. Re:It's all about Scalability! on Hektor: the Graffiti Robot · · Score: 0
    'You might be able to solve it using steel cables instead of rope which would stop the stretching problem but you might have trouble with their stiffness.'

    Not to mention the constant replacing of that lil spraycan ;)

  3. Re:I saw this on Hektor: the Graffiti Robot · · Score: 1, Insightful

    To be honest, it looked like peanuts to me too.

  4. I hope they will think of on Virtual Dummy To Try On Clothes · · Score: 0

    some random commenting given by the machine countering 'does this make me look fat'-questions.

  5. Re:feedback loop on Bad Spelling Pays on eBay · · Score: 0

    Sadly, over the last couple of years, my own language has also (officialy, as in , by the dictionary) changed.
    Whereas before people had to _learn_ certain words, and how to spell them : My country somehow made the some words resemble their phonetics. :/
    Btw, I am from the Netherlands, and one example which terrible example is 'Champagne' (as in, the alcoholic liquid) : It's not 'allowed' to spell it as 'Sjampanje' : our dutch phonetics gone to text.
    Could name a few more very ridicilous ones, but they wouldn't make much sense ;)

    No problems here.

  7. Re:Free Publicity? on "DVD-Jon" Demands Compensation · · Score: 0

    The publicity that he got (allthough i think the guy and his work are great) was one that was focusing on him as being a bad person : I don't think that's the best publicity to get for 'outsiders'.

  8. I bet the RIAA applauds this on Yamaha Releases Singing Synthesis Software · · Score: 0
    Finally they can create singers that don't have any voicing anymore.

    Not far from the current situation, but while more and more artists do become aware that the RIAA is not in with them, but only out for personal gain, the RIAA should welcome these new cybersinger's overlords.

  9. Re:Sly Queen... on Bill Gates to be Knighted · · Score: 0

    *Queen while holding the sword ready* 'So Bill, the other day my WinXP 'puter got its whole HD formatted, because of your Windows : Whatcha gotto say for yourself now, huh ? '

  10. Re:DEAR FUCKING LORD on Bill Gates to be Knighted · · Score: 0

    When Clifff Richard gets knighted, i don't know why Bill Gates can't : I guess he done more for people than Cliff ever did.

  11. How bout the Netherlands ? on Google Social Network: Orkut · · Score: 0
    in dutch, Orkut pronounces as 'ear-cunt'...

    Hmmmm...

  12. Re:Is this legal? on RIAA Files 532 Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    I think the reason behind this courtcase might be for them to see if this is a possible 'solution' to ISP's not wanting to violate the right of their customers.

  13. It seems the forgot an additional 256 IP's on RIAA Files 532 Lawsuits · · Score: 4, Funny

    192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255 is apparently missing ;-)

  14. This has all been done before. on Mice In Space · · Score: 1

    As far as i know, they allready have trained some mice to operate little motorbikes, to keep Earth out of the hand of bad people.

  15. Re:Spyware? Wrong term I think. on Currency Detection Discovered in More Products · · Score: 1
    'Do you want your goods to be purchased with fake money? I don't.'

    Do you want visual artists unable to portret any artpiece with a dollar bill in it ?
    It's not the duty of a company to let their users not do anything illegal with it.

    When that day will be there, they might want to start sueing weapon manufacturers first.

  16. Hey, where is 'Trinity' ? on 2003 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 1

    I think it's allready two years ago, and was shown at some tech show, but the (Quake 3 engined) game, only single player, looked very nice.
    It involved some scenes of the now famous 'bullittime' and was to evolve the SP story quite a bit : So the preview said.
    I guess this even became so vapor, that i can't even refer to sites with information about it :/

  17. Re:HL2 should not have been #1... on 2003 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 1
    To my knowledge, TeamFortress 2 will be the Multiplayer addon you will get with HL2.

    Various screenshots of the source showed that there were various compilers for TF2 : All together within the HL2-directory.

    I still hope VALVe (and any other studio that has been suffering leaks this year) learnt from this all : It's time to digitally mark your demo's you send out.

    Be sure to leave your cellphone at your alibi-spot before comitting your crime. :P

  19. Re:300k per ad on Commercials Come To The Net (After This Word) · · Score: 1

    Even a good stickman flashmovie is less ;) And tells me more than them annoying flash video ads.

  20. Why complain ? on Commercials Come To The Net (After This Word) · · Score: 1
    If you don't like the pop-up videos, you got two choices :

    The easy one, blocking the adds with some sort of popup blocker.
    The harder one : Just don't visit that site : If webmasters like to pull this new nagvertising on us (just around when we are getting the other annoyances restricted (spam, popups), then pull your own commercial string on this one : and don't give them their Hits.

  21. Do the punishments on Spammer Sentencing Guidelines · · Score: 1

    Do the punishments also count for (former) Nigerian Kings ?

  22. But... on MIDI Keyboard/Computer: Neko64 · · Score: 2, Funny

    does it make good homebrewn coffee, like Tweek's dad does ?

  23. Re:Fantastic on Bleak Future for Videogame Customers · · Score: 1
    'We are seeing the groundwork already, in good GPL game engines, and the free content community already has proved their worth on proprietary engines (NWN modules and Quake 3 mods etc). All it needs now is someone to tie it all together.

    DRM is the ultimate free software motivator.'

    Afaik, Steam, the new content-providing service by VALVe, will also focus more on mods, and the distribution thereoff in the future.
    As of now a non-VAVLe-mod, Sven Coop, can be downloaded of/played on Steam.
    I heard some rumours before that in the future, Modteams might have the opportunity to release their content, for a small fee (think 2 to 5 dollars) : it's the same principle, when you really dig a project/mod/artpiece, you contribute with either your own maps/models/sounds : or contribute with money.

    The only downside to this would be , imo, that alot of fun will be pulled out of the Modmaking scene, which atm still seems to be the main arguement to make a Mod (besides brushing up your portfolio).

    Ahyes, you could also maybe write a book about this, and call it... hmmm, Ender's Game. :P
