  1. In other news, Michael Jackson and Bubbles.... on Well I'll Be A Monkey's Uncle · · Score: 1

    knew about it all along.

  2. Oh come on on A $251 Million Typo · · Score: 1

    I double check a f'ing $20 order to amazon.com

    This is inexcusable.

  3. Re:Anti-Americanism? on Google Censors Abu Ghraib Images [updated] · · Score: 1

    Legitimate criticism of the current ruling regime isn't only pro-American, it's damn right patriotic. Just ask our founding fathers.

  4. Re:"Ricers" on Gentoo Ricer Comparison · · Score: 1

    Who are you to differentiate? How often do you see a car with external modifications done and assume he hasn't done anything internally? And then, how would you know what he had done? My Honda has rims but no sticker or wing. It does have the mouldings and emblems shaved off, the holes welded in, and the body smoothed out. It's very low. It has a very distinctive look that someone might assmue was ricey. It also has the power the interior stripped, the engine swapped out, and a power to weight ratio equal to most $80-150,000 sports cars. But to you, it's rice. There are PLENTY of ricey-looking Hondas that leave disgusted looks on sports car owners. Not out of distaste, but out of dissatisfaction in how much they spent.

  5. Re:Lame Comparison on Gentoo Ricer Comparison · · Score: 1

    Frankly this is one of the subjects that I hate speaking on because I myself get called a ricer for it. Yes, most of those Hondas made 90 to 120 hp from the factory. Yes, there are thousands of kids out there that slap stickers and wings on them and they think they go faster. Then there are people that actually modify the engines or reprogram their ECUs and happen to own a Honda and get called a ricer. Does this standard apply in any way to Linux users? Is there a real advantage for any user out there to install Gentoo? OF COURSE THERE IS. That's like saying slackware users are unicyclists because they're minimalistic or want to know where everything is, or a Mandrake user a leasee because they want something they don't have to worry about making work right on thier own. All of these comparisons are silly. There's no Type-R sticker equivelant to a package management system. There's no exhast tip installation system. What's being compared? Obnoxiousness? I'm never offended by Gentoo users, why would I be?

  6. Mario Vs Donkey Kong on The Evolution of Mario · · Score: 1

    My kids have been playing Mario Vs Donkey Kong a lot lately on the gba and emulated, and it's amazing how well they've taken the whole Donkey Kong control scheme and rules and make it very modern and enjoyable. My kids recognize Mario more than any other character I think, they've known him since they were very young as so had I.

  7. Re:Any other boys from Longview area on Mount St. Helens Alert Status Increased · · Score: 1

    I'm from Amboy, real close. I remember being 3, my mom saw it blew and put me on the counter frantically calling family members saying "it blew its top!" because we were able to see it very well from our place. This is one of my absolute earliest memories.

  8. Re:Bleh on TiVo-like Application for XM Radio Under Fire · · Score: 2, Informative

    On top of this, you can also record it out the digital out flawlessly. I used to do this regularly with a minidisc player and a toslink cable. You can also rip it to your PC with utilities available on the yahoo group dishrip.

  9. But no Tactics Ogre? WHY! on Atlus, Nippon Ichi Cue Up Japanese RPG Goodness · · Score: 1

    All I want to know is WHEN DO I GET ANOTHER TACTICS OGRE GAME. The last one, Tactics Ogre: the Knights of Lodis was on the GBA and is easily my favorite GBA game. There's depth to class requirements and class changing that makes more sense than in any other tactics style game, although the storyline was very weak.

    The tactical aspect of the game easily surpasses either of the Final Fantasy Tactics games in my opinion. Can we please get another?
