  1. Don't read much Arthur C. Clarke, do you? on Vatican Astronomer Comments On Extraterrestrials · · Score: 1

    Ever see any of the 2001 movies or read the books? How about "Childhood's End"? Arthur C. Clarke has a big thing about aliens taking the place of God.

  2. Holy Shitballs On A Stick! on Life-Ruining Browser Hijackers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Oh, yeah. Let's play another round of "blame the victem"! Excuse me while I kick you in the Jimmies.

    I've seen browsers get hijacked like this from people who I know for a fact were not looking at porn. I've had to clean a lot of them out at my job and I know from looking at the firewall's logs that these people were not visiting porn sites before their browsers got hijacked.

    And yes, you ARE condining this poor bastard being marked as a sex offender.

  3. Re:He's out on DOOM III This Summer · · Score: 1

    I can't say as I even remember it. I turned the music off moment I figured out how. I do that with most games if I can. Very few game soundtracks actually help the game at all. And it was only recently with the abandonment of redbook and the adoption of dynamic music that I've bothered to leave the music on.

  5. Re:Interesting on Linux on DOOM III This Summer · · Score: 1

    Loki did screw the pooch on that one. The initial release of Quake 3 for Linux was that overpriced tin box edition. They bet the farm on that one and lost. It resulted in poor Linux Q3:A sales and it sunk Loki.

  6. Re:So what's the copylocking? on DOOM III This Summer · · Score: 1

    Why should they trust the consumer? DOOM 2 was leaked out onto the Internet weeks before it was officially released. Hell, people created a USent newsgroup for it and were posting about how good the game was and how to fix this or that problem weeks before it was released.

    The one thing id Software has learned is that people will rip them off. They've learned that they can not trust the consumer.

  7. Re:There's just enough time! on DOOM III This Summer · · Score: 1

    Or you could just go buy an XBox.

  8. Re:Nice graphics.. on DOOM III This Summer · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Considering that Half-Life ripped off the basic backstory for DOOM, yeah, I'd say they were pretty similar. If you read Tom Hall's Doom Bible, you'll see that Tom Hall planned to have a monorail in the original game.

    From looking at the Doom Bible, it looks like DOOM 3 is going to be a hell of a lot closer to Tom's original vision than DOOM1/DOOM2 ever was. I wonder what the hell the Hand of Lothar will be used for?

  9. Re:System Requirements on DOOM III This Summer · · Score: 1

    Say what? Have you ever tried to install DirectX 8 on a Mac? It ain't easy, let me tell you!

  10. Re:Maybe it's not just me. on Project Grizzly Bear-Proof Suit Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    What good is a gun if you have no arms to hold it? Living in bear country (Alaska) I can tell you that you need a damned powerful gun and a steady hand to down a bear. Grizzlies are very hard to kill and very easy to anger. In a face to face confrontation you had better kill it with the first shot or you are in for a world of serious hurt, if not death.

  11. Re:True but Re:Allofmp3.com on Record Labels Push for iTunes Price Hike · · Score: 3, Insightful

    On iTunes, Napster (the irony), Wal*Mart, et al, the artist gets the share the record company is conractually abliged to pay them. Whether that's 1 cent a song or 50 cents a song. Whatever pittance it might be, they do get payed.

    AllOfMP3 and other grey market Russian MP3 sites do not pay them anything at all. Maybe, just maybe they got a few pennies from the sale of the CDs that these companies bought to master their catalogs, but I really doubt that as well.

  12. Re:Allofmp3.com on Record Labels Push for iTunes Price Hike · · Score: 1

    Too bad the artists in question don't get a dime of that money. This site is only legal due to holes in Russian Copyright law big enough to drive oil tankers through.

  13. Yes, I am. on Record Labels Push for iTunes Price Hike · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Aren't you glad you starting paying for downloaded music?

    Yes I am, you smug little turd. I pay for my music, my videos, my software, my books, whathave you. I know that the artists involved are often getting ripped off by their record labels. But that doesn't mean I am going to screw them even furter.

  14. That's my job, too. on Worms Jack Up the Total Cost of Windows · · Score: 1

    If I'm not chasing virii and patching systems, I'm removing spyware. It never ends.

  15. Re:You know you're a geek on Perfect Digital Skin · · Score: 1, Informative

    "44 quintuple Q"? You must be a geek. You don't know how bust size is calculated. The number is the circumfrence of the chest excluding the breasts. The cup size is based on the difference between that measurement and the circmfrence of the chest including the breasts.

    So, your pr0n goddess would be fat as well as large breasted. In propper digital pr0n she'd be:
    Bust: 36ZZZ
    Waist: 17
    Hips: 35
    With no gag reflex and an abdominal cavity with the storage capacity of an oil tanker.

  16. Re:Female. on What Sex is Your Robot? · · Score: 1

    Gender neutral humanoid objects are just not terribly comfortable to be around because all of our evolutionary history has taught us that anything shaped like us is us and one of the things we really want to know about each other is gender. (Just look at that poor, stupid 17-year old transgender kid who got killed because the guy he/she had been having sex with found out he/she was really a guy!)

    That being said, certain types of robots might have different genders based on their functions. I, for one, would be more comfortable with a female medical robot and (as sexist as this might sound) a male military robot. I think female robots would make good police robots.

  17. Cy-Borg on What Sex is Your Robot? · · Score: 1

    Yes, Cy was male and had a thing for men who spoke German. Joe killed Cy by plooking him too hard.

    Frank Zappa is a musical god.

  18. Gus from "Tripping The Rift" on What Sex is Your Robot? · · Score: 1

    Gus is your man.

  19. Off Topic, but.... on What Sex is Your Robot? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I used to own a copy of Gnip Gnop when I was a kid. It was a lot of fun, IIRC.

  20. Re:Reasons why... on Apple Uncommunicative About Security Holes · · Score: 1

    LOok at the history of these exploits: blaster, sasser, more I can't even remember anymore. In each and every case the worms that attacked came out AFTER Microsoft released a patch. The reason the virii/worms did so much damage was that too many people did not patch their systems when the patches were released.

    Whether it was the documentation or reverse engineering of the patch that gave the worm authors the information they needed to write their worms is up for speculation.

  24. Not until they sell mirrored units. on Snap Appliance Snap Server 1100 NAS Device · · Score: 1

    I won't put any storage out on my LAN that isn't mirrored. I've lost too much data to flaky hard drives in the past.

    I got modded troll for that? Whatever.
