  1. Re:John Connor on Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines · · Score: 1

    Watch the movie again, you see John in the future.

  2. Re:Why Doom Sucks. on Doom Archive Reopened · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, if you look at the games from 10 years ago you'll see a lot of side scrolling shooters and platform games.

    But I agree, more adventure games! Good thing that Sam n' Max 2 and Full Throttle 2 is coming.

  3. Disturbing association on PumpkinPC v1.0 Makes Its Hallowe'en Debut · · Score: 1

    Sorry for freaking you out... but can you say goats.cx

  4. Typical business comment with zero geek sense. on SuSE Linux will run Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that Linux will stop being Free and free? Debian?

  5. Re:some simple reasons on Phoenix 0.4 Released · · Score: 1

    6. Cool ness -> you gf comes and sees the dragon, my o my after boring netscape and IE logos you will show people u use the cool new browser.


    Actually, in Phoenix it's a bird... on fire! (yes I know about Phoenix and ashes and all that)
  6. Hmmm.... on What Math Actually Sounds Like · · Score: 1

    When the refresh rate of my monitor is too low and I set it back my body always does this strange shaking thing. Turning this music off does the same thing.

  7. Re:so what? on RandR Support on XFree86 4.3 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Games.
    Being able to change resolution and color depth dynamicly, you no longer have to see a game designed for a lower resolution than your desktop run with in a small window with a black border around it. Resolution could be changed before, but not on all chipsets.
    Also running in a different color depth required emulation wich is slow. And this could'nt be changed dynamicly before.

    This is the only thing I've hated about X, so I'm quite happy now.

  8. Re:what fucking bullshit on Broadcasters vs Producers on Content Integrity · · Score: 1

    Hey, could you please post the rest of that? Like the part containing the point.

  9. Re:Is it worth it? on Phoenix 0.3 Is Out · · Score: 1

    Me and a friend installed Linux on another friend's spare computer. It's a Pentium 200 mhz with little RAM. Mozilla took a long time to load on that (ofcourse, using xfce instead of Gnome helped =).
    So, for a machine like that I think Phoenix qualifies as compelling.

  10. Re:one lucky guy on Microsoft Puts SourceForge Clone Into Beta · · Score: 1

    Billy boy I would think.

  11. Re:But I'm sure that... on RMS Weighs In On BitKeeper · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Maybe you should follow your own sig.

  12. Re:Try djgpp on If Programming Languages Could Speak · · Score: 1

    Or MinGW
    A Windows port.

  13. Re:C64, CoCo II, Apple IIe, 8086? What was your's? on The Aging Gamer · · Score: 1

    There were always that "fast forward a little bit once in a while" trick when you loaded from tape.

    I started out with an Atari 2600 then C64 then an Amiga 500 and finaly a PC (to play DOTT).

  14. Re:guru? on Linux Kernel 3.0? · · Score: 1

    Guru meditation actually.
    Just to nitpick

  15. Re:An attempt to name 37 operating systems on 37 Operating Systems, 1 PC · · Score: 1

    Why that wierd numbering? Base 17?

  16. Re:You've got r00t! on LindowsOS Will Bundle AOL Client · · Score: 1

    Why? You own these people?

  17. Re:the underlying OS is irrelevant on More Switching Stories · · Score: 1

    UT 2k3 is a game. It's not like an operating system is ever going to be dependent on a game.

  18. Re:Don Marti? on Interview with Don Marti · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know, and then your next thought go to Don Rose and what a great cartoonist. I start to remember how drunk I am, finaly getting thoroughly wasted on a friday night (though only to end the night here so soon)... Oh well, cartoons are nice, I'm sure this guy is okay too, I'll have to check it out when I'm a little bit less drunk.

  19. Re:Combatting piracy? I don't think so... on Bon Jovi Tries New Approach To Fight Piracy · · Score: 1

    Yeah, ok. I guess what I was lashing out against was that I imagined that all bands would have to make big multimedia productions instead of just doing what do, play music.

    But I see your point, I'd also rather have record companys get of honest buyers back than all these cripplewares they've been trying.

    I just don't hope it becomes a requirement for an artis to start doing more than just the music.

    On weezers new album Maladroit there's some extra contents in form of video clips. I just wish it didn't have that stupid fullscreen menu on autorun.

  20. Re:Combatting piracy? I don't think so... on Bon Jovi Tries New Approach To Fight Piracy · · Score: 1

    As opposed to just buying a cd for... uhm, the music?

  21. Re:I still have one... thinking of selling it on Interview With Atari Jaguar creator John Mathieson · · Score: 1

    my first wife actually bought it for me

    I bet it's your new wife who pressuring you into selling it =)

  22. Re:The Economics Of Warez on Talk To a Convicted Warez Guy · · Score: 1


    This software equates to hard work, sweat, and time away from my family. Why shouldn't I be extremely pissed off if someone rips it off?


    I always hated that argument, not because I'm against people making money off of their work, of course not, but because it sounds like you hate your job, and it's this great struggle everyday.

  23. Re:Just to translate.. on Making the Case Against Software Patents? · · Score: 1

    ... big business and patent law look bad and opressive.

    Well duh...

  24. Re:hands up... on The Two Towers Hits the Net · · Score: 1

    All I could find was WTC footage.

    OK... I'm lying.

  25. Re:Why? on Virtual 1930s Harlem · · Score: 1

    To the time machine!
