  1. Why not!?! on Star Wars TV Show · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It seems the Beflanneled One is intent on ensuring complete media saturation in perpetuity for the SW universe.

    All things considered, this show could be pretty cool, but it likely won't be. The prequels have fallen short and I find it difficult to imagine fresh material coming out often enough for a TV show. A mini-series would be perhaps more appropriate.

    I gotta say, everytime I see another part of Star Wars being sold out, a little part of me dies.

  2. Lone Star shoots first on Mel Brooks Says 'Spaceballs' Sequel In The Works · · Score: 2

    Lucas et al could use some serious lampooning. It certainly seems that they disregard every fansite out there. Maybe they need the likes of Brooks to get themselves squared off.

    I wish Brooks would write in a scene where a couple of the characters argue about whether Lone Star should have fired first or not. That would really tickle my funny bone.

  3. Re:Yeah, but can it run Sims 2... on IBM Sets Supercomputer Speed Record · · Score: 1, Funny

    I find it genuinely amusing that there is a disclaimer on the link you include that says the Earth Simulator is not to be confused with SimEarth. I wonder if there was a board meeting at Maxis to discuss the possible imapct of the release of the Earth Simulator...

    As far as the machine being sexy: Its got red spots, that is usually a sign to leave it alone...

  4. Underestimation and no anticipation at Microsoft on Hotmail Cracks Down on Spam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is it just me or does it seem that every day brings a story of how Microsoft was unable to correctly predict the magnitude of an upgrade or alteration.

    I'm thinking about how Longhorn is delayed and the scope is cutailed. SP2 had delay after delay. Now this cock-up with the upgrade of accounts because they did not think that users would use the space.

    Oh gmail, when will you come to our aid?

  5. Re:Crap. on Making Tracks on Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    NASA ought to launch a Roomba to Mars to take care of all the mess. Its small, robust and autonomous. A perfect solution!

  6. Re:The Same Reason I bought an XBOX on Microsoft To Sell Win XP Starter Edition In Russia · · Score: 1

    Is that three apps total? 1) Antivirus 2) Firewall 3) Instant Messanger Do these three running preclude web browsing or *gasp* running some productivity related software?

  7. Re:Be careful! on Affordable Modern Graphics Cards · · Score: 1

    OK. It was only to illustrate a point. If you like we can substitute Cadillac with Lincoln, BMW or maybe even Rolls Royce. You pick.

  8. A metaphor on Affordable Modern Graphics Cards · · Score: 1

    The bottom line is: you're still gonna get what you paid for. A Kia will get you back and forth to work. But a Caddy will do that and more... Of course, unless you really like the FPS games an all-singin' all-dancin' video card is not really needed.

  9. Re:Sigh too many distro on Hikarunix: The Go Distro · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Come on, that doesn't seem right. The whole idea of community driven design is to stimulate innovation. A big ass monolithic linux distro would be about as innovative as Windows.

  10. Re:Best free Windows software since? on NASA Releases World Viewer · · Score: 1

    Better than all of those cool hotfixes MS gives out for free?

  11. *sigh* on NASA Releases World Viewer · · Score: 1

    The server is down, down, down. This sounds like a real cool app. I wonder how long I must wait until NASA gets the server sorted out and de-smokes. Any word on a mirror? Or a torrent?

  12. Re:Pedantic Britsh Englishness on Odeon Orders Takedown Of Copycat Site · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Go fuck yourself you pommie git.

  13. Re:dear god on Mozilla Gains on Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    I am running 0.9.2 and I get the /. render problem mentioned above. It goes away if you increase and the decrease the font size. So, back to the drawing board...

  14. Re:Linspire? Isn't that...uh, stupid? on Dell to Ship Linux Desktops in Europe · · Score: 2, Informative

    Lindows was banned. That's why it changed to Linspire.

  15. Linspire!?!!??? on Dell to Ship Linux Desktops in Europe · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why Linspire? Why not use a bigger, (dare I say it) better distro. SuSe 9.1 is Europe's biggest distro, why not that? Is there some anger between Novell and Dell?

  16. Re:fedora core 2 gripes on Fedora, SuSE And Mandrake Compared · · Score: 1

    I hope you're kidding.

  17. Re:French Bashing on Moore Approves Fahrenheit 9/11 Downloads · · Score: 3, Informative

    There is a big difference between someone who *is* French and someone who *speaks* French. Quebeckers do not consider themselves to be French, they feel they are distinct in their own right. This sentiment is the cause of the separatist movement. That movement is calling for the breakup of Canada which is the cause of animosity. No that they speak French.

  18. Re:It's time for an annual FUD award on SCO Prides Itself on Inspiring FUD · · Score: 1

    I think the FUD award should be called the

    Darl-ings

    Just a thought.
