    That's why Duke Nukem, Serious Sam, and the rest of the games like that don't sell.

    If you're one of the sad cases who believe that humans are damaging this planet, I can see why you'd believe that Kyoto is a good idea.

    Yes, because we should spend billions to comply with that instead of taking the billions and putting them to use researching alternative fuel sources and doing things our way.

    Because you know that's why we did it.

    You didn't know that? You're ignorant, you say? Interesting.

    Read a fucking book, Sally.

    My desktop has a pair of 74 gig 10k RPM Raptors in a Raid-0 and a pair of 250 gig drives. I'm constantly going through and deleting old stuff to make room for new stuff. With a fast internet connection, no hard drive is large enough.

  9. Re:Perspective... on Iraq TLD In Legal Limbo · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is a tech news site. If you want the "Hard" news about the cleanup after Katrina or the problems in Iraq, news.google.com has a bunch of nice links. You can also go to the website of CNN, MSNBC, or the BBC for information on the less tech news out there.

    There's already an answer for that. Torrents don't need trackers any more, I'm sure someone could use that to keep track of how many people they have infected without using a central server.

    Who considers Ocarina to be one of the worst games of all time? I've played through like 15 times.. I may break out my n64 and play through again now that I'm thinking about it.

    If I don't have "No Tresspassing" signs up and someone walks across my yard to rob the house next to mine, does that mean I helped rob the neighbor?

    I guess the USA should have gotten a patent on flawed legal systems.

    The Red Cross turns 92% of donations over. The other 8% is used to pay the employees and keep the orginisation open. That's one of the (if not THE) best place to donate.

  18. Re:Which is more merciless? on DirectNIC Crisis Manager Braves the Chaos of New Orleans · · Score: 1

    You have a hard time reading, don't you?

    You aren't focusing 100% on either fixing the levees or getting people out, you divide the labor. You bring food in for the people who can't get out, you get the people out who you can get out, you try to block up the hole in the levee.

    It's not a very difficult thing to do once you actually think about it.

    They should be dropping sand bags AND food. The mistake they made a few days ago was to stop dropping sand to try to plug the hole in the levees. Once they plug the holes they can repair the pumps and get the water out of the city. Once the water is out, they can get everyone out.

  21. Re:I'm confused. on Uwe Boll Spills His Guts · · Score: 1

    Fans are the people who pay to see the movies (Note: I have never paid to see one of his movies, that's what HBO is for) and when your name makes the majority of gamers say "OH dear god NO!" you have to know that someone is making a mistake somewhere.

    But why? Don't they put this shit through focus groups? I know they added the 45 minute long scroll before Alone in the Dark because NOBODY knew what was going on during the movie.. Someone with directing experiance (Dear God, not Lucas) needs to sit down with this horrible man and explain what he is supposed to be doing.

  23. Re:What can be done? on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 1

    We can spend billions on complying with Kyoto or spend billions on researching ways to rely less on fossil fuels. Hmm...

    And what problem? Your Global Warming that could be a natural trend?

  24. Re:I'm confused. on Uwe Boll Spills His Guts · · Score: 1

    A few? His movies get horrible ratings. The video game companies should care what their fans are saying. These movies don't seem to be for Bob and Jane Moviegoer, but for l33tGamerd00d3342 and his friends. But why lure them in with the license from the games they love and throw feces at them? If they got a different director who actually KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING maybe these movies would be GOOD and make an even better profit?

    And it's not just a few, go to the IMDB board, or google for "Uwe Boll" and "sucks"

  25. I'm confused. on Uwe Boll Spills His Guts · · Score: 1

    How does this man keep getting work?

    Don't these people see the anger from the gaming community when he is attached to a movie, and how ALL OF HIS ATTEMPTS AT CREATING A GOOD VIDEO GAME MOVIE HAVE FAILED?

    On a side note, I'm sure all video game players who have seen one of his shitty movies would be GLAD to assist in the spilling of Mr. Boll's guts.

    I read a report written about him by some writers that worked with him on one of his other shit-tacular video game movies, and they said that he took their script that followed the game settings pretty close, decided it needed to be on an island. Decided that it needed to have sexy kids, decided that it needed to be faster paced, and he ripped the story out and fired the writers so he could finish writing the script himself.

    He doesn't understand what makes good movies good. He thinks that fast paced action and hot chicks make good movies.

    Maybe when he is shunned by the movie community, he can be a programming director at G4.
