"It disgusts me," said Isaiah Triforce Johnson, a longtime gamer and founder of a New York-based gaming advocacy group that, in response to the accusations, is now planning what is the first ever gamer-driven peace rally.
The founder of a gaming advocacy group..... named Isaiah TRIFORCE Johnson..... it doesn't get much more perfect than that.
DX10 is pretty much all Vista has going for it, as far as I'm concerned. I'll probably forgo getting Vista entirely and switch to Linux eventually. Maybe someone will make a DX10 compatability layer for XP, or even Wine or Cedega.
I can't believe nobody's mentioned Magic Carpet. That game was addicting as hell, and the later levels were very intense. I would've played all the way through to the end if it weren't for the memory limitations of the engine.
There was actually a student named Richard Cranium at the high school I went to. Naturally, we all called him Dickhead. Strangely, he didn't seem to mind.
It's too bad HD-DVD is technically inferior to Blu-Ray. This just might make me side with HD-DVD eventually. I'm still holding out hope for one standard. Not a whole lot, but I can dream, right?
"Dan Lyons" is where I stopped reading. He's proven himself to be somewhat lacking in journalistic ethics before, and I won't give him the satisfaction of me reading his articles.
There was an FORTUNE Magazine article run yesterday about why Google scares Microsoft which mentioned this. Here's a quote:
"Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page and CEO Eric Schmidt all say that any talk about supplanting Microsoft is ludicrous. But the idea that Google will one day marginalize Microsoft's operating system and bypass Windows applications is already starting to become reality. The most paranoid people at Microsoft even think "Google Office" is inevitable."
No, I don't think Google is making an OS. They don't HAVE to. Google has become so ubiquitous that they could offer an Office replacement straight from their servers, and any computer with an internet connection would be able to run it - Windows, Mac, Linux, PDA, whatever - and you could store and transfer your files using a Gmail account.
Pretty exciting, when you think about it. Let's cross our fingers.
Or how about this: my little brother with a garden hose between his legs, struggling to fit a water baloon over the nozzle while water sprays out. I gotta find that picture...
What makes it even funnier is that, aside from a few people, no one is even acknowledging it. Nothing out of the ordinary. They've gotta have pretty low standards.
After reading this, Mr. Cranky's review of Minority Report stands out in my mind.
"After the balls roll out of the ramp, Anderton stands in front of a huge screen with his hands up in the air and attempts to masturbate imaginary pigeons. (Okay, I get what he's doing, but the idea that operating a computer 52 years from now will be something akin to air Kung Fu seems excessively stupid.)"
^^^^^ What he said.
When I was in elementary school we did a biology experiment involving agar jel. We would take a q-tip and rub it on an object in the classroom, then swipe it over some agar jel in a petri dish. Being the geek that I am, I chose the classroom's computer keyboard.
After a few days we took them out of the cabinet and put them on the overhead projector. My dish was BY FAR the nastiest.
I can't comment on any speed increase just yet, but all I know is that the GooglePreview extension doesn't seem to like it. It shows thumbnails of Google rather than the search results.

Stop beating a dead hoarse.

I had never thought about this before. Thank you.
I can manage my own diarrhea, thank you very much.

Priceless.

Anyone else find it funny that the parent got modded Troll talking about TrollTech?

Redundant? That, sir, is called irony.

Well, there goes the neighborhood...

How? Because sharing work is so obviously communist.

That's not a fence. That's a picture of *windows* on a building, reflecting the sky.

For some reason I read that as "testicular."
This is not good.
