    Oh well, not my homeland.

    When the Nazis came for the communists,
    I remained silent;
    I was not a communist.

    When they locked up the social democrats,
    I remained silent;
    I was not a social democrat.

    When they came for the trade unionists,
    I did not speak out;
    I was not a trade unionist.

    When they came for the Jews,
    I did not speak out;
    I was not a Jew.

    When they came for me,
    there was no one left to speak out.

    For a minute, I thought that Disney lost its battle to keep Mickey Mouse (or wally the rabbit, whatever) copyrighted.

    This news dissapoints me.

    Halo 1 and 2 had it, and it was a blast on both of them.

    Even if they want to use the "politcally correct" way of saying it, they should atleast keep it consistent.

  11. Re:Sharks win on RIAA Case Against Mother Dismissed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Whoo, nevermind the fact that an RIAA case was thrown out and even turned back at them, only the lawyers would ever benefit from that.

    Even if you miss my point, atleast the mother won. Far more than her lawyer atleast.

    Why is killing a statewide smoking ban a good thing?

  18. Re:Real Horror. on Being Scared in Games is Needed · · Score: 1

    The problem with the Titan isn't that they are hard to kill, it's that they can summon. As can arch-liches. You're right, they aren't that hard to kill. But when they are constantly summoning monsters, it gets bad, fast. Even with a burned Elbereth it'll take a while.

    That specific example occured to me a few months ago. Of course, it was on Medusa. And the Titan was on its own island. I was a level 14 Rogue with low AC (unlucky game at that point), but I did have the Key. In the following chaos, quite a few Umber Hulks were summoned. It took a longggg time.

    You seem knowledgeable. Care to join #nethack on Freenode? If you've ascended atleast once, there'd be another channel open to you too.

    Had colors worked in /. posts, you'd soon see that there is much to fear. A few arch liches, a hostile Titan, and a Disenchanter, as well as a master mind-flayer.

    Can you say summon storm?

    "After this move, why would you post a video on YouTube when you can get paid to post it on Google? It's the difference between running a free web site with no revenues and running a free web site with Google ads in the corner. Once you get fees, you never go back."

    Maybe you don't want a major U.S. corporation to know where your contact information? You know, if you are making dissident videos?
