  1. Re:Seminal? on A Retrospective on Planescape Torment · · Score: 1

    Sequel? I can see a prequel to PS:T, but a sequel wouldn't work, not if you want to use The Nameless One in it. Unless of course it's an action hackfest through the Blood War with a character who can knock down Glaabrezu with his own hacked off arm (+2).

  2. Re:And this took how long? on Parts of the Patriot Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Does this "Constitution" you're so in love with have the word "Patriot" in it's name? I rest my case.

  3. Re:Don't be so sure... on Internet Service Tax Moritorium Set To Expire · · Score: 1

    It's just like credit cards - free money!

  4. Re:Although I loathe to say it... on The Quest For Glory · · Score: 1

    Since I doubt Jesus ever actually rode a dinosaur, such an occurance would definitely be newsworthy.

  5. Re:Salaried or per-hour... on Law Firm Fighting For White Collar (IT) Overtime · · Score: 1

    My mother's an accountant (salaried), and until about a year ago she'd been paid overtime.

  6. Re:Fascinating on Free Phone Calls... If Advertisers Can Eavesdrop · · Score: 1

    In fact, forget the ads.

  7. Re:The message I got out of this on Game Pirate Sentenced To Jail Time · · Score: 1

    Don't forget he's also sentenced to pay a $100,000 fine. Now where do you think that money is going to go?

  8. Re:Bit speculative on New Version of Gmail Being Tested · · Score: 1

    Never noticed the New Window button before (too bad doesn't do tabs), thanks! Still can't find the "Show Original" link. I would prefer an ability to open up several new tabs straight from the inbox though, as you can in plain old non-AJAX HTML.

  9. Forever War on Happiness Is A Warm Electrode · · Score: 1

    In Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, the military of the future uses "optimism drugs" to make troops not dwell on the negative aspects of going on suicide missions. They know they're likely to die, and they know they should be scared/worried, but they just aren't.

  10. Re:Time Again on Intel Demos Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Quad-Core At IDF · · Score: 1

    I'm still sticking with my P3-800, waiting for prices to drop.

  11. Re:Bit speculative on New Version of Gmail Being Tested · · Score: 1

    And I hope it finally allows you to open an email in another tab/window.

  12. Re:Waves of Mass histeria on EU Think Tank Urges Full Windows Unbundling · · Score: 1

    Except perhaps for MS Windows. Ever tried hunting for drivers?

    Ah, so if I pop in a Linux CD, it will install all the correct drivers for my video, network and sound cards, and the printer as well?

  13. Re:Don't forget on Crazy Stevie's iPhone Prices are Insaaane! · · Score: 1

    I haven't read the second book yet, you insensitive clod!

  14. Re:"Yeah, those suspicious e-lectronics". on MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport · · Score: 1

    They did not make a mistake and they did not overreact. Any more than they would have at a person pointing a bright green gun at people. Sure it's probably a toy, but why take a chance?

  15. Re:Why the License on Texas Family 'Sues Creative Commons' · · Score: 1

    So is this a Satanic church or something? They'd be the only ones to consider "virgin" to be a derogatory term.

  16. Re:Don't forget on Crazy Stevie's iPhone Prices are Insaaane! · · Score: 1

    But only because the stupid Motie kept annoying the Masters by trying to stop the Cycles, when everyone knows that's impossible.

  17. Re:Habeas Corpus not "revoked" on US Senate Fails To Reinstate Habeas Corpus · · Score: 1

    As the Declaration of Independence says, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that only those closest to us are created equal..."

  18. Re:Fortunately for America... on Australia Cracked US Combat Aircraft Codes · · Score: 4, Funny

    To be fair, cricket is a made up sport without any real rules that the British and their colonies play in order to confuse outsiders.

    If only you knew the true horrors of the origins of cricket..... That's one reason the rest of the universe looks down on humans. To make a game based on the Krikkit Wars.....

  19. Re:Better yet on US Senate Fails To Reinstate Habeas Corpus · · Score: 1

    To be fair, a few of the Republicans actually voted "Yea" on the bill. Just not enough of them.

  20. Re:Here's what is wrong - sucky tookits on Status Report From the Open Source Games Community · · Score: 1

    Java gaming? maybe, sure it is cross platform, but your app is horribly VM limited and performance will sucky no matter how you tweak.

    What are you talking about? Haven't you heard that Quake II, written in Java, can run flawlessly on a machine that's a mere 5 times more powerful than the the original required? And any day now we'll have the hardware to run a Java version of Quake III! What more do you want?

  21. Re:Andromeda Strain!!! or not... on Meteorite Causes Illness in Peru · · Score: 2, Insightful

    On the contrary, it will be cold as ice (or colder) given its composition and time for heating.

    And how do you know its composition? How do you know it's 30 inches wide? All the article tells us is the size of the impact crater. That's not nearly enough for the calculator.

  22. Re:Depression? on Sci-Fi Writer Considers BioShock's Artistic Merit · · Score: 1

    Aeris!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

  23. Re:Team 3 project: on The State of Blizzard's Union · · Score: 1

    "While I do not believe this is the right thing to do artistically, I do believe it is the right thing to do FINANCIALLY."

  24. Re:Resisting.. Arrest? on University of Florida Student Tasered At Political Rally · · Score: 1

    Did you watch the video?

  25. Re:TextPad on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    The version of TextPad I have, 4.7.3, has gives the option to save in Unicode and Unicode (big endian). Just select from the "Encoding" dropdown in the save dialog. Or is there a bug with the functionality?
