I wonder how long it was before someone drew a gigantic hairy penis on the worlds largest etch-a-sketch.

It's the first thing I would have done, anyway.

And if wearetheweb.org somehow actually succeeds in getting associated with net neutrality, well that will be the end of that.

Last I checked, whole movies never were on YouTube, Mr. MPAA.

Select scenes from movies ARE on there, and I like that. People can talk about crazy scenes from movies they like, and get people into the movie with a clip. Wow, they might even RENT the thing.

The guy says he owns the OJ Simpson car chase video. I'm callin bullshit. That was broadcast over free airwaves to millions of live watchers and instantly became a part of American collective culture. So WHAT it shows up on YouTube. Nobody watching on YouTube is watching it to sneak out of paying that guy. If it wasn't on YouTube, they wouldn't have watched it anyway and would have done something else with their day.

The lawsuit this guy filed paints YouTube as a gateway to copyrighted works because it allows users to ambiguously tag their posts. What does that mean? I'll tell you. He wants YouTube to have only certain checkboxes for subjects and tags, and he wants it to be illegal to have one of those boxes be Reginald Denny. That is what he is asking for. To preclude the possibility of his video popping up on the internet, any new tools have to conform to his fucked idea of how things should work.

Yes, this guy should still go fucking die.

They are getting sued because they had the Reginald Denny beating in there? Worse than Grokster? Providing users tools for copyright infringement?

Go fuck yourself guy. You want it more practical to identify copyrighted works? PUT YOUR VIDEOS ON THE WEB LIKE YOUTUBE DOES. Don't sit on videos and demand cash anytime a pair of eyes sees them.

God, go fucking die already.

I heard they were using cell phones and automobiles too.

Just played the Prey demo at 1024 with 2x AA on the old 9800 Pro. Some sub 30 FPS scenes, but overall just great. The demo autodetected and set for 800 with no AA. But this old Tyan card takes a mean overclock and they've done some magic with the D3 engine. It just runs very smoothly.

Now FEAR was a different story, that game had my card for lunch.

But I digress. What a GREAT fn demo. Congrats to HH and 3DRealms. This 10-years-in-development game has obviously been very well polished. This one goes in the to-buy queue.

The acquisition isn't scheduled to conclude until 2Q-2007. So Warhammer Online will technically be released by Mythic. EA will only be in charge of patches.

What could possibly go wrong with that?!?!

Looks like NBC got pissed about the Conan vid.

"This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner NBC because its content was used without permission"

Wow, good job protecting your "content". Good thing I didn't see that, or somehow, in some alternate universe, you would have been deprived of something around half a penny. Now I'll head right over to NBC's site and check that vid out.

Yeah right. NBC has lots of vids, but good luck linking to them. "Your video will begin playing after a brief advertisement" Or it won't play because it's broken. They simply cannot figure out how to offer videos without shitting out crap that NOBODY wants to see.

This is why YouTube is great.

We have daddy longlegs with webs here and there all around the place. It's a fn haunted house. I'd never kill a spider if I didn't have to.

Can I just give back Special Forces to get this? Even trade?

Wow, I'll compile that right into my open source Gnutella client. Yes sir.

I can imagine the secret presentations in the halls of Congress. This is a"laptop". It is running some software that we thing should be "illegal". We have a version of the software that respects artist's "rights". The RIAA lobbyist that sent me here will contact you about "lunch".

This no-CD business is getting really stupid.

WTF, I don't need to have my CD to start MS Office? I don't recall Photoshop ever asking for a fucking disc. Shouldn't the makers of these much more expensive software treat our computers as their own personal jukeboxes as well?

These bastage game distributors should only just ask for a CD if you are playing the single player version or something. They are AUTOMATICALLY checking that you bought a CD when you go online and identify your CD Key. Total Idiocy. I blame EA 100% for this crap. You think DICE doesn't understand that CD checking is pointless for online gaming?

I am gonna get Alcohol or Nero working. id software had the right idea when they eliminated the CD checking in Quake III Arena about 1 year after the game came out. I can only hope they do something at least that cool with Doom 3.

I think it is telling to find that nobody thought it worthy today to comment on changes to CS that steam is implementing. But BF Vietnam trailer gets 20 comments.

I think that CS players are avoiding all "Steam-Powered" updates and playing 1.4. And that steam effectively ends the domination of CS in online FPS gaming. Might be wrong, but Steam has not been a good thing for HL.

Thanks for the Greedo-didn't-shoot-first plug, Blue.

Lucas can blaze in hell for adding that lame ass shot from Greedo to tame Star Wars .. er I mean... The New Hope... for his kinder and gentler audience.

You know, the audience that brought you Columbine?

Somehow I managed not to grow into a homicidal maniac by watching, and laughing, as Han Solo whacked a goony looking alien named Greedo, in cold fn blood in the original Star Wars screening. I didn't need the moral backing that Lucas thought we all needed 18 years after the first shooting. Bastard.

That review is good, and fn hilarious!

If I want infantry combat, I just switch straight to CS and get my fix. Then back to DC for tank warfare. I just find CS to be much more compelling in the small arms area.

But that is what is great about DC, you can pick the kind of gameplay you like by the map. Me, give me Gazala or El Alamein anyday.

Luckily, CS doesn't require a CD so I can switch back and forth easily. This is the one thing I hate about BF. WHY DO I NEED THE CD IN THERE? What, so someone doesn't play single player for free? NOBODY is going to play single player BF you moneygrubbing corporate exec fucks! I don't appreciate my computer being converted into a playstation.

Sorry to hear about this news, Blue. I hope everything turns out alright. We are all with you.

#123. Yes I've tried Steam. Guess what? I hate it!

It disabled the sound on my HL install. How would you like that? I uninstalled, deleted, etc HL and reinstalled, and the sound won't come back. Yes I tried -wavonly. Yes, I tried to uninstall Steam (I get a fat error and it won't uninstall, I deleted the steam folder anyway).

People have valid reasons for disliking "Steam" and people like you who are quite high on Steam are just plain lucky.

Sorry to hear about your Gma, Blue. Fans of your site do empathize.

Thanks for the torrent link, Frans. I will be feeding people HW2 all night. I'm getting 255 K/s dl now. Hot.

It seems it's back. Fast, too...
