  1. Re:Intel, eh? on PC Gaming Alliance's New President Talks DRM, System Requirements · · Score: 1

    AMD would just rope in the horde of Intel expats with their own DRM and say something about their new customers giving them a mandate to do so or such crap. Or maybe they'll blame the ever-nebulous Economy for it.

    My favorite part was when company X, maker of inherently closed game-service-by-cloud system, lauded platform P's openness.

    [pedantry]The title is win. The alt text is just "Wikileaks".[/pedantry]*

    ...but yeah I agree. (I'd say something here about technology vs. usage thereof and bombardment with snail-mail letters and getting off lawns, but someone will mention sex as an exception and what-not and combined with the mailman and the old guy with the lawn it'll just sound creepy.)

    *Maybe I should blame IE for this minor confusion, for showing image alts in older versions as they would show titles (as tool-/info-tips). My life is too short though.

    I think so, Brain, but how will we mix a burqa with a maid catgirl outfit and still have space for the bombs?

  7. Re:Outdated imagery on Google Earth Adds 3-D Trees · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's worse. Google Earth is planning how to demolish your home and replace it with actual happy little trees. The images are merely forward-looking statements.

    Somewhere in the afterlife, Bob Ross must be wearing an evil smile. Everything has gone according to his plan.

  9. Re:Too good to be true. on Stuxnet Was Designed To Subtly Interfere With Uranium Enrichment · · Score: 1

    As I watched glasses-wearing Snooki click-clacking away at the keyboard and defining computer worm using car analogies and such phrases as "the page's HTML5 address" and "chipping away at the firewalls", a change fell over me. I no longer hated George W. Bush, or Li'sar, or pickles. No, I hated everyone, and reserved deepest loathing for everyone in the theater, who I promptly shot dead; myself, for losing enough sanity to buy a ticket to watch; and Hollywood, for ACTUALLY USING THIS IDEA. I jumped off a nearby bridge knowing that humanity could not grow more vile unless Christine O'Donnell and Spencer Pratt mated on a satanic altar to the My Little Pony theme.

    a racing game where you steer with a pretend-wheel in the air. And if possible, accelerate by going "BWBWBWBWBWB" with your lips. That'd be really cool.

    Not as cool as the vertical shoot-em-up where you move within the bounds by leaning, shoot lasers by saying "pewpewpew", and pause by saying "beedoobeedoo", though.

    We theoretically approach useful home robotics, your first thought is cleaning? Followed by sentry duties? What about the ole in-out-in-out, man? Where in the hell are your priorities?

    Why not combine all three in a cybernetic maid knight whore? Batteries, a broom, a broadsword, and breasts—you'd get it all.

    She would be a problem in classed-character RPGs, I'd admit...

  13. Re:Google on TV Tropes Self-Censoring Under Google Pressure · · Score: 1

    And to be clear, I don't think Sergei Brin is sitting atop a dark tower laughing maniacally and screaming "by the power of this monopoly SOON ALL WILL BE UNDER MY CONTROL".

    Me neither. That's probably Larry Page's job. :)

    Tensions erupted during a meeting with about a dozen executives at Google's Mountain View, Calif., headquarters about 18 months ago when Messrs. Page and Brin shouted at each other over how aggressively Google should move into targeting, according to a person who had knowledge of the meeting. "It was awkward," this person said. "It was like watching your parents fight."

    Mr. Brin was more reluctant than Mr. Page, this person said. Eventually, he acquiesced and plans for Google to sell ads targeted to people's interests went ahead.

    Anyway just a thought LOL the point is to be a villian :-P Basically like the Oracle Larry there, in fact maybe he has these powers....

    Larry is even worse than a supervillain. He's an aspiring lich who steals others' souls with his cold touch and will save his spirit in a redundant phylactery.

    He was apparently born in the Bronx so I might need to run very quickly should he return to perform his lichdom rites. I'd rather run headlong into a hundred zombies than live a mile from the dungeon of an undead billionaire that can teleport into my house!

  16. Re:Note that these images are not... on Masterpieces Online — High Culture At High Resolution · · Score: 1

    That, and you'll have to deal with the "HALTA DEFINIZIONE" marks baked in at least some of the image tiles. No free lunch etc.

    That aside, the closeups are a jarring reminder that these paintings will crumble forever someday. Or at least I'm scared of such art being lost after the Iraq lootings. I wonder why the first thing I zoomed into was Venus's nostril, though...

    The manufacturers still need to finalize the HAH (Have A Heart) standard. They approved version 1.0, but have to revise it due to a grammar error in section 45G, paragraph 8.

    I hear 1.1 will introduce two extensions called "soul" and "conscience" as well.

    Well, it does allow for an interesting scenario: The Olsen Twins choke on fast food because they were kept too intrigued (or drowsy) by 'Must See' TV to wash it down as they ate, and NBC and the food guys then permanently shut down their businesses in tribute to the ex-Michelle Tanners.

    It should be noted that, contrary to popular belief, adding useless phrases like "what's known as" can, believe it or not, keep readers engaged in a post-9/11 world.
