  1. Re:Which license? on Gates: Say No to GPL, Yes to the Microsoft Ecosystem · · Score: 2

    However, if the code is GPL'd, the companies cannot benefit from it.

    This is simply not true, they can still benefit from this code... they just can't steal it and say it is theres.

  2. Re:Reminds me of a conversation I had on The Past and Future of the Hard Drive · · Score: 2

    I agree, shouldn't there be some sort of penalty for people who keep dragging this up! Like a beheading perhaps?

  3. Re:MS threating AMD on AMD Takes Microsoft's Side in Antitrust Case · · Score: 2

    I don't think AMD needs Linux as much as they need Windows, because Windows requires faster CPU's than Linux...

    Obvious really.

    So thats what that company retreat to Malaysia is all about... i wonder if it's too late to get out.

  7. Re:Realistic depiction of areas on 11 Things About Spider-Man · · Score: 2

    So, in a film about the past, it must be completely accurate or be liable for suit? What about historical fiction?

    Sometimes i wish this were true, if you make a historical film should you be allowed to change the facts/outcome. I guess it's your film, but changing history (and let's face it, a lot of people get all there history from TV) does seem a bit disgusting and just plain wrong. Off course, if this were so, almost every US "history" film would be in trouble.

    These are two companies... they should be wasting as much money as they can...

  9. Re:Someone start a support group! / Why it won't l on The Lure of Heroinware · · Score: 2

    I do find the term slightly herionware slightly offensive. Have you ever known someone to die from a game?

    the artists still aren't getting paid!

    With the current cd for cash model, the artist doesn't really get paid either!

    From Red Dwarf:

    "I think we're all beginning to lose site of the real issue here, which is, what are we going to call ourselves? I've narrowed it down to two suggestions. The League Against Salivating Monsters, or, my own personal preference, the Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation
    Into Society. Uhm, one drawback with that, the abbreviation is CLITORIS."

    Does anyone else remember from college how the poles just flip every million years or so, and no one really knows why? That whay *I* am worried about. the poles moving just a little bit is fine with me.

  23. Re:just got back from ice age on Review: Showtime · · Score: 2

    "Hollywood is scared shitless of believing in anything. That's why they spend so
    much fucking money asking test audiences to write their endings for
    them. So, what we get are technologically perfect movies with no soul.
    That's Ice Age: millions of dollars of computers thrown at a
    bland script full of pooping and animals getting bonked on the head.
    It looks great, but where its heart should be is a hack screenwriter
    doing exactly what a bunch of play-it-safe executives and focus groups
    ask for. It's like having a CD of a shitty album when it's way better
    to have a vinyl copy of a great one."

  24. Re:Apple lost the 1999 lawsuit on Review: Showtime · · Score: 2

    Perhaps it was all done on purpose. One company makes a really bad movie called showtime, therefore creating a negative image in the minds of consumers, detracting from the services provided by another company.

    I wonder if they can sue them for slander???
