  1. irrelevant question. on Improv Animation as an Art Form? · · Score: 1

    what a stupid question.

  2. Actually not that cool on NY Times on Anime · · Score: 1

    I'd rather it stay a subculture. So what if mainstream admires it, I hope they dont corrupt it like everything else.

  3. bad format on Bruce Campbell Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    This format is terrible, what were you thinking. Isnt there a standard for interviews, if Bruce sees this he might burn /.

    its sad how it goes from "he" to 'me" in the same paragraph without quotations:

    And then there are the ones that are completely outside the "winking-wise ass" category, like the appearance on Homicide where people come up to me and are like "You did a role where you weren't a funny guy", which is nice, he noted, because it shows that he's more than just the kookie actor.

    If Bruce is talking, shouldn't you quote him.

  4. how did they know on When The FBI Knocks, A First-Person Account · · Score: 1

    did they simply look at the log of yankees.com and see the schools firewall ip, then request the schools firewall log for that day, then simply wrote out a warrent for the ocupant of the room that held that IP? is suspicion enough to issue a warrent? since when does scanning ports and dns routes deem illegal, how do they justify a warrent on these grounds. obviously no illegal break throughs were commited through his IP. What grounds do they have to confiscate private property.

  5. Sounds like... on Robotic Lifeforms To Go To Moon · · Score: 1

    Can you say Software? Sounds like the beginnings of Rudy Rucker's ideas.

  6. this is stupid on Princess Mononoke DVD: No Japanese · · Score: 1

    This is gotta be the stupidest "marketing" manuver... They know that 60% of the buyers want it in japanese... this is sooo lame.

  7. No more 1stperson shooters please on id Software Announces Development Of Doom III · · Score: 1

    the market is over saturated as it is. Why make yet another shooter? borrrrrinngg. I think in one of the .plans sombody said something about not having a rocket launcher in their next game... how they gonna pull that off with doomIII bad marketing plan. bad.

  8. GOOGLE ROCKS! on Google's 4000 Node Linux Cluster · · Score: 1

    I think google just took over the search engine industry. theysa sooo smart.

  9. Ditto. on Take the FBI's Geek Profile Test · · Score: 1

    Ditto.

  10. Anime for all!! on Geek Christmas Ideas · · Score: 1

    All geeks like anime, at least the Sci-Fi stuff. If you are a geek and don't like Sci-Fi there is something wrong with you.

    Some great movies/videos are:

    Battle Angel Alita
    Ghost in a Shell
    Bubblegum Crisis (Orig & 2040) (I recommend 2040)
    Cowboy Bebop
    Evangelion
    Spriggen (not released in english yet)
    Serial Experiments Lain (turns on all geeks, who can not like a chick who upgrades a computer until there is no room left in her room? bahwahahaha. This is a mind trip series.. all about existing on an alternate universe... the Wired (the Internet), cool eh?)

    Some Mangas(comic books 17-18+) are: (please don't buy these for your young geek friends/family members)

    Appleseed (very cool!)
    Ghost in a Shell (cool also)
    Alita (9 volumes!)

    Anything by Shiro Masamune is highly recomended, not sure if girl geeks will like it, some are graphic.
    Places to buy:

  11. artist or programmer? on Visual Effects Companies in NY and Elsewhere · · Score: 1

    I'm heading in the same direction, but more on the art/animation side.. From my research and word of mouth I hear that the demand for technical animators is very high, much higher then artists, if you've written some plug-ins for some high end packages and know them in and out, you've pretty much got an in on a high paying job. BTW exstensive UNIX exp.(Irix and such) is a must. dunno about schools... cogswell or maybe sheridan?
