I thought Google didn't have any concerns about other people's privacy?

I listen to Rush a lot, he's rarely incoherent, unlike the dirty, smelly, maggot infested hippies who protest everything, screaming idiot slogans that a full 99% have never listened to objectivly otherwise they wouldn't be screaming those incoherent slogans.

Talk about ditto-heads.

And talk about incoherent, just what exactly do the Democratics stand for? Other then BDS?

1. StarCraft 2 Apr 17, 2007, 20:21 maplebob
 
What I'd like to see in StarCraft 2 is a game that's fun to play like StarCraft was.

I'd also like to see an announcment that they're making it.

Wasn't there a secret mission where a fourth race was strongly hinted at?

1. Flash and Adobe Apr 16, 2007, 20:41 maplebob
 
Adobe is pretty annoying in releasing stuff it seems.

I just get a new linux box and they don't have anything for i86_64 yet. Not that it would matter much, it takes a year to install anything on linux box while trying to squash dependencies.

Still they could put out Flash for 64 bit.

Yay, 2nd Amendment.

I think you mean: Yay, gun free zone.

22. Re: Kurt Vonnegut Apr 12, 2007, 21:05 maplebob
 
If you have not read Slaughterhouse-Five, you should as soon as possible.

I try to read SH5 in high school but find it kind of dull. Then I tried to read something with Butterfly in the title and couldn't make it through that either.

Best thing I did read by Vonnegut was a short story called Long Walk to Nowhere, I think it was called. Don't really remember what it was about, just remember liking it enough to go and look up those books when I was in HS.

Philip K. Dick really spoiled me for any other writer. No one wrote like him.

You tards don't know what you're talking about. Target may not have the best merchandise out there, but it's definitely a cut above Kmart or Walmart.

I agree on that. Walmart is like going into a cesspool like Mexico, it's dirty, crowded, full of cheap, shoddy merchendise, and people who can't speak any English. Targets have lots of room, wide selection, nice people. A least the ones around here do. Shopco is okay too but they don't have the same selection.

Why doesn't Apple just support features people want instead of having all these hacks?

Fucking nerds with too much time on their hands...

Amen to that. They should be working on the 64 bit flash and java and making things easier to install in linux in general.

If they want to be nerds they should be super nerds otherwise, what's the point? Plus, I don't really want to figure all this boring stuff out, I just want it to work.

Who freaking cares, Wired? Every single time: crapola!

I noticed Wired about ten years ago, I forget how I got there, but yeah, totally vapid and pointless. No idea how that mag stays in business.

I clicked on the link when I read the other reply and didn't even notice it was Wired. I just thought it was blogspot type blog.

2D games are good for phones and stuff like that. I just buy Midnight Pool and Midnight Bowling for my phone and they are okay diversions but I would never buy them for a PC or console if I owned one.

I would buy another game like Duke Nukem:Manhatten Project. That was kind of a novel way to play a side scroller.

If you own the company, have a huge, huge licensable hit character, you can do stuff like that.

1. Viacom Vs. Everyone Mar 19, 2007, 16:05 maplebob
 
In the case of Viacom Vs. Everyone, I think Everyone should counter sue. If Everyone had counter sued RIAA for sucking all the fun out of life, would RIAA still be doing what they're doing?

I think not.

Slim Whitman isn't there either and he sold more albums in Europe then Elvis and the Beatles combined! And where's Box Car Willie?

And Lenny and Squiggy put out an album in the 1970's, maybe it wasn't influential but it should have been. It was one of my favorite albums. And where's Spike Jones!

Anyone can listen to the albums everyone listens to.

I don't even see the Singing Nun on the list and she was so popular she influenced a major motion picture.

16. 1954 Mar 7, 2007, 19:25 maplebob
 
I guess no albums exist prior to 1954. Maybe they all melt in a fire?

It is my personal religious belief that the world begins in 1953 and all "history" prior to that is faked to test the faithful but I never expected a pop music album chart to legitimize my insane, made up, belief system.

But now I know I am right all along!

I think the best way to watch 24 is to turn off the brain and enjoy all the stuff blowing up. The quality of the story varies but there's always plenty of things blowing up.

Sometimes BSG has good explosions, like when they rescue the colonists from New Caprica, but other times it goes into tedious soap opera territory. But it's still pretty good. Just not as many explosions.

House and Bones, though, I miss those when they're not on. I always feel freer to be rude after watching House.
