  1. Re:Why a generic rating on The ESRB Gets An 'F' · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    DO you mean something like this:

    PARENT'S GUIDE

    # Sex/Nudity: sexually related dialogue; sexual innuendo; suggested sex off-screen; scantily clad woman

    # Drugs/Alcohol: smoking; drinking

    # Violence/Scariness: explosions; gunfire; brutal fighting often with bloody results

    # Objectional Words/Phrases: approx. 13

    This was taken from Roger's Video (canadian video rental place). It's there guide for Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They have guides like this for all their movies.

    Funnily enough, they don't have it for video games.

  6. 3 Months?? on Slashback: OpenDocument, Intelligent Design, More DRM · · Score: 1
    Torrent user goes up the river. stinerman writes to tell us that the Hong Kong man who was recently arrested for making several movies available via BitTorrent has had his sentence handed down. Chan aka "Big Crook" uploaded Daredevil, Red Planet, and Miss Congeniality which landed him 3 months in jail.

    3 months for sharing movies, or 3 months for sharing THOSE movies?

    I think he deserves more for having shared those steaming piles of film to people.

  7. 2003 North American Power Outage???? on History's Worst Software Bugs · · Score: 5, Interesting
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_North_America_blackout

    From Wiki page:

    It also found that FirstEnergy did not take remedial action or warn other control centers until it was too late because of a bug in the Unix-based General Electric Energy's XA/21 system that prevented alarms from showing on their control system, and they had inadequate staff to detect and correct the software bug. The cascading effect that resulted ultimately forced the shutdown of more than 100 power plants.

    So what you're basically saying is that "tits on a squid" are about as useful as "tits on a teddy-bear" which the term I heard ages ago referring to useless stuff.

    I'm torn here.

    "Tits on a teddy-bear" rolls off the tongue better, but "tits on a squid" sounds funnier.

    When is the last time a solid freeware game caught the imagination of millions? About 15 years.

    Haven't you heard of RTCW: Enemy Terrotory? Completely free game that is GREAT.

    Looking in the area of Ottawa, ON, Canada I'd say within the past 6 months to one year for this area. There are several stores and car dealers in the one area that are quite new (Future Shop on Merivale, Delawri Chrysler on Hunt Club West) that are on the map.
