  1. Why else? on Walmart Expands Low-End Linux Notebook Offerings · · Score: 1

    They're fucking Wal-Mart!

    Of course they're going to sew some evil and havok in the process of doing their good deed.

  2. Blast! on EA Nets Another Exclusivity Deal · · Score: 2

    Looks like I need to turn to EA for my Arena Football League fix.

    Wait a second... Who the Hell would ever possibly need an AFL fix? I mean, really... Arena football?

    Go Sega. Make a more comedic football game where you can make your own stars. Throw in a few, good, fluffy characters and you're good to go.

  3. Re:Yes, Tiger for sure... on Apple Offers Mac OS X 10.3.7 Update · · Score: 1

    Though I would not be too surprised to see it come out for Panther in a patch about the same time.

    They didn't provide updates for 10.1 when 10.2 came out with 1.4... why would they change that now?

    Sure, it's occasionally annoying but if you want the new features, you have to pay to upgrade.

  4. Re:I wish they would just finally tell us... on President Bush's Money For Space Cometh · · Score: 1

    And he just got some reasonably intelligent campaign managers.

  5. Re:answer in short on More Exploding Cellphones In The News · · Score: 1

    we should probably have warnings on powder blue crayons too. cause god know how bad it is when one of those gets jammed up your nose and i know from experience that this happens all the time same with screwdrivers and pencils and pens, and come to think of it every other pointy object, they dont have warnings- it must be ok.

    IANAL, but my wife does happen to be in law school... and as such I do pick up a bit from her daily decompressions.

    Cases such as the tragic crayon incident are considered from the perspective of a hypothetical "reasonable person." While the two sides may argue about the definition of a reasonable person, I think that you'd be hard-pressed to make a case that shoving a crayon up your nose is a reasonable use of said crayon.

  6. Bloodbowl PBEM on Does Anyone Still Play-by-Mail? · · Score: 1

    pbembb.com

    Largely superceded by the Java client (home.austin.rr.com/javabbowl/), but still a good user community.

  7. Canada, eh? on Outsourcing To Rural America · · Score: 1
  8. Closed system, apply it on a local scale. on EA Games: The Human Story · · Score: 1

    " Wish I had mod points, you'd get them. Libertarians should go to their Utopia, a place without governmental interference and where the free market rules: sub-saharan Africa or mob-controlled Russia!"

    Must... feed... trolls... !

    /me looks over his shoulder at another four years of Shrub with majority of congress, an even worse AG nominated already and 4 SC Justices due for replacement...

    Right because we've all seen how well the alternative works out.

    On a local scale, the company is providing a product (ie: a job) and the workers are the consumers of that product. If they don't like the way that the company is treating them, they can either refuse the product (ie: quit) or take other actions to attempt to rectify their problems with the company (ie: form a union).

    No governmental interference involved. Principles intact. So what were you talking about again?

  9. Let me be the first to say... on Brazil Successfully Launches Its First Rocket To Space · · Score: 1

    ... I, for one, welcome our new, maraca-shaking overlords.

  10. Out of Context Quote of the Day on Apple Announces New iBooks · · Score: 1

    "For under $2,500 I can get my wife off... AND a new G5!"

    Sorry, had to do it.

  11. Try this, perhaps on Interview with Camino Developer Mike Pinkerton · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not perfect but getting warmer.

  12. Re:Firefox is the best on Interview with Camino Developer Mike Pinkerton · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is the first actual explanation I've seen for a reason to select Camino over FF and it has me convinced to give it another try.

    I started using Camino (Chimera, at the time) when I got sick of OmniWeb (version 0.5, maybe?) and switched from Camino to Firefox in order to see what all the hype was about. I've downloaded updates as they came out but haven't really given them much of a chance. I simply didn't see any reason to do so.

    Finally, I've gotten them. Thanks for the quote.

  13. Re:Ask Jeeves is a search engine? on Ask Jeeves Looks to Outshine Google · · Score: 1

    I remember asking him if he was gay back when I was like 15 and giggling at the results,

    I am so fucking old...

  14. Of course, now that you've R'd TFA... on The Secret Behind the iPod Scroll Wheel · · Score: 1

    ... Apple will have to send its elite lawyer hit squad to break your kneecaps. That's a patented clickwheel, you know.

  15. CG actors are fine... on Sky Captain and the Films of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    It was actually the computer-generated script and merchandising that really annoyed me.

  16. News Flash! on XM Radio Plans Online Music Service · · Score: 5, Funny

    John Smith of Nowhere, PA is reportedly not planning an online music store. We have yet to receive official confirmation that Mr. Smith, a 72 year-old retired janitor at Nowhere Middle School who is a local hero after bowling a 300 game back in '86, is indeed without plans for opening an online music store at any point within the next 6-12 months. Neighbor and long time friend Bob Jones was quoted as saying, "Nope. Y'uns gotta believe it... he ain't never thought of it a'once."

    We'll have more on this breaking story as it develops.

  17. Assumptions about human nature on Ask Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik · · Score: 1

    First of all, I voted for Harry Brown last time around and I intend to vote Libertarian again. As a Massachusetts resident, I have the luxury of voting my conscience rather than voting against Shrub and I fully intend to exercise it. The "lesser evil" approach has always bothered me on principle.

    The thing is, however, I don't really buy the entirety of the Libertarian platform. While I firmly believe that a Libertarian president (bear with me, guys... we're talking principles, not probability) would take some steps towards reform that would do a great deal of good for the country as a whole, I find the whole basic premise of the party to be flawed in one crucial fashion, which (finally) leads to my question:

    How much of the Libertarian platform is based upon the belief that citizens and entities will automatically act in the public's best interest when liberated from governmental interference and how do you defend the basic concept against those who think that people and corporations are too inherently selfish to make universal deregulation function in a safe and productive fashion?

  18. WUSB on Ericsson Pulls Bluetooth Division · · Score: 1

    I certainly hope that other short distance wireless technologies (like WUSB) do take off.

    WUSB will never take off, sadly. It's just too ugly of an acronym and people are sheep.

    "This new mouse is great! It's even wussbee!"

    See what I mean?

  19. Re:grip on Modding Game Controllers For Greater Grip · · Score: 3, Funny

    My girl improved her grip without the rubber so I don't know wha.. wait.

    This is a game controller? Eh *tries to recover* who said love wasn't a game?


    So that would make "your girl" the controller?

    Yeah, sounds about right.

  20. Re:Blog Service? on Microsoft Will Try Out Blog Service In Japan · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why would people pay money to Microsoft to post comments and short, misspelled paragraphs about their lives?

    The basic service is free (according to TFA). It's not about getting ¥ from the users, it's about controlling another standard and another portal in order to use it to try to corner another market.

    Then they can use the information they've farmed for whatever nefarious ends they wish. Of course it's nefarious. It's always nefarious. Not just because it's M$ but because it's business.

  21. Demand for Standards on Playing Games With One's Brainwaves · · Score: 2, Funny

    Of course, none of this will do us any good until developers finally adopt the 1DGSC recommendations (One Dimensional Gaming Standards Committee).

    As it is now, all those 1-D games that we all know and love each operate on an entire different API! In one game it's all Up and Down. In another it's North/South... or +/-. Madness, I say!

  22. Re:Camino 0.8b on Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.9 Release Candidates Out · · Score: 1

    Actually it was 0.7 for ages... 0.8 just came out in mid-May.

    It took me forever to switch from Camino to Firefox - sadly enough mostly because I like the aqua form elements and such - but I eventually did. Now I just can't get myself to switch back and I can't see a reason to do so, really.

    Anyone? Why bother with Camino (dear as it may be) anymore?

  23. Hotmail receives 2 billion spam emails/day on NYT on Spam Cops · · Score: 1

    ... and Hotmail users _send_ how many of those?

    Choke it off at the source.

  24. Who wants to be the one...? on Shrek 2 How-To · · Score: 1

    "For me, the best aspect of the Shrek 2 experience was the movie itself, not the locations, props or actors necessarily, but that whole experience..."

    Ok, this is for your own good.

    There were no locations, props or actors... That's the whole point.

    There's no Santa Claus either.

  25. Script Leaked! on John Woo to Direct Spy Hunter Movie? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Act 1
    Scene 1

    (The Rock steps into his car within the trailer of a semi. The rear door drops down and drags behind the truck in a spray of sparks. The car goes flying backwards - optionally spinning around in theoretically impossible fashion - and then takes off.)

    Scene 2

    (The Rock drives the car down a road. Don't ask what road. The background is mostly green. He shoots some bad guys with spikes on their hubcaps and curses whenever he bumps into a motorcycle.)

    Scene 3

    (Same as Scene 2... only the background is more orange-brown-ish.)

    Scene 4

    (Same as Scene 3... only the background is more grey-ish.)

    etc...
