    I always find these movie ratings hilarious. Titanic featured a fully naked female(we are talking boobs, pubic hair etc) and still received a pg-13 rating, whereas movies that use the word "fuck" are given R ratings.....

  3. Re:More money/profit in Mainframes and COBOL on Lenovo Completes Acquisition Of IBM's PC Division · · Score: 1

    Obviously since there was 500 million in debt, the section itself wasn't particularly profitable to IBM. Makes sense to get rid of what doesn't work for your company in order to focus more on what does work.

  4. Re:so does unemployment on Annual Fee For Your Comment? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I am just graduating from college and got 3 job offers easily. I am going for one in Germany(I'm a USian). After poking through your site I stumbled on your resume. That may be a good reason you aren't getting offers, your resume in a word..sucks.
    Nobody wants to read your life story on a resume, trim it down significantly and actually highlight what you think is most important. Nobody hiring you for a job doing Java programming is going to give a flying fuck if you can design a multi-cycle MIPS CPU....

    That's probably why the only really successful christian games I can think of are the old NES Bible Adventures games (because they did semi-fun things, like playing Noah and gathering animals to place in the ark).
    Not to mention repeatedly throwing Moses into the river :P

    Uh, the code is licensed under the BSD model. So Apple will get in trouble as well if there is patent trouble.
    I know making the statement, "boo patents!" on /. will get you modded up automatically, but come on people....

    Well, it's not only being 90 seconds late. The bigger problem is that Japan's rail system is so congested that being only 90 seconds late would have really fucked up a LOT of other trains. It's going to be hard for Japan to fix that system.

  13. Re:I like the idea of Emails being made public on Slashback: Passports, Microscopes, IQ Points · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What about the people you exchanged email with? Email is not like a journal, there are at least 2 parties involved and the privacy of those people is equally as important of the privacy of the soldier. My solution would be that if the people with whom the deceased communicated with should decide whether or not they want to forward the email on to the parents.

  14. No monkey ball? on 10 Gateway Games · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While the article is sexist, you can just think of it as, "games for non-gamers", but still, no Monkey Ball? I'm not really a huge video game fan, I like toying with them a bit, but I quickly lose interest. However, when I have a couple of friends over, there is nothing quite like some monkey ball and "pre-gaming" before we go out. It has no learning curve, fun as hell, and it can be put down wherever without having to worry about your "progress".

    It's not really all that new, but this is on a scale that I haven't witnessed firsthand before. I mean you cannot tell me straight faced that Clinton didn't make any politically motivated appointments, but he stuck to mainly well political offices. The people removed in this case were clearly experts in the field and their knowledge and experience could have actually helped the committee make useful decisions instead of the usual monkey at a dartboard ones they will inevitably end up making.....

    Patches can do the same thing to your system though if they aren't up to snuff. I would be careful about being the first kid on your block to get a patch unless you think it is absolutely critical.

  17. SNES porn cartridges on Playboy on Playstation Portable · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone out there know anything about snes porn cartridges? A bit off topic I know, but I got a bunch of roms at one point, and intermixed with the real video games were a couple of roms that just had grainy porn pics on them. Were these ever released as (obviously) unlicenced cartridges?
    Amazing the innovation of the porn industry....

  18. Re:OSX - Windows - Linux on Jobs Claims Microsoft Is Shamelessly Copying · · Score: 1

    Depends on what you define as "linux" really. The kernel itself has some pretty innovative stuff in it(being very customizable being one of the biggest), and is among the most stable if not THE most stable out there. Thats why you see linux on everything from the tinniest embedded system to the fastest clusters in the world.
    However, you are right when it comes to the GUI and a lot of the consumer level software. I mean the default setup on a lot of distros looks way too much like Windows, and there are a ton of "OSS clone of X commercial package" software projects floating around.

  19. Re:Copy... on Jobs Claims Microsoft Is Shamelessly Copying · · Score: 1

    the F/OSS projects led the way, but before they can patent something
    Someone needs a zealotry reality check. Yes, there have been open source innovations, just like there have been commercial innovations. Seriously, look at the default x setup on a lot of the different linux distros, notice anything? Mayhaps a start menu? In order to make Linux more usable, a lot of things were "borrowed" off windows. How about the sheer number of "OSS clone of X commerical software" free packages there are out there? How about expose from Apple. I see the F/OSS people are salivating over trying to copy that.
    You seriously need a reality check...god I love zealots.

  20. Re:While on the topic of "better yet..." on New Bill Would Ban Public NOAA Weather Data · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The problem is that the Democrats in PA right now are in total dissarray. The state went for Kerry(the state usually goes Democrat in presidential elections) but the best they could muster for a senate candidate was a sacraficial lamb. The problem is that the Democrats are either known well in either the west part of the state or the east part of the state(good luck getting any part of the middle of the state outside Penn State to vote democrat), but never in both parts.
    Seriously, Will Smith should run in PA in 2006. He owns a large chunk of real estate in Philly(were he was originally from), so he can qualify as a resident. Outside of Will Smith, the Democrats in PA have nothing, so beating Santorum is going to be quite a challenge.

  21. Re:OK then. on AMD Dual-Core Performance Revealed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why would they need a "boost"? These are expensive and obviously aimed at high end users. You can already get sub $1k laptops that really do all the stuff you described, so why would they buy a dual core desktop system?
    If you are using a dual core system to run word either a) you have WAY too much money, or b) the code bloat at Microsoft has REALLY gotten out of hand......
