Mining BRD for DI. Trade at IF.

damn, wanted to play.

/me installs anyway

Programming and software crap for work (requirements analysis -- yay!), alot of old Batman comics (working my way through the Knightfall series) for play.

Im no comic book buff, but Jack Napier is the Joker right? All I can remember of him in the original film is him getting smacked into the acid, thus creating the grin & the Joker persona. Also he was a lot younger when he killed the Waynes so in theory, there cant be a Joker in a Batman Begins ...

it's a good movie but not THAT good. The flashbacks are top-notch, all of the good guys (bale, holmes, freeman, caine, oldman) pull off their roles well, plus there's a small role for Rutger Hauer, who's now been in both the frank miller-inspired comic book adaptations (this + Sin City) -- but the ...

Sounds cool. I'll give it a shot.

/me hits up a.b.cd.i

The sad thing is that it's really no different than Christianity, Judaism, or Islam in many respects. The problems aren't with the philosophy (fuck, these days you can belive that Batman is god), the problems are with the large, criminial organization that runs it. They are pretty much the epitome ...

Same here. Less than 15 min.

you guys are overreacting like little girlies... when you go and buy final cut studio pro hd super turbo edition 2 years from now, on launch day, it's hardly gonna say on the box "Requirements: Intel Mac, OS 11 etc". It'll say "OS 11". There is HARDLY ANY code changing required ...

The only linux box at home, I use Gentoo on (simply because it had the clearest and most functional instructions for using as a base for a MythTV install). I used to run Debian religiously, and I use FC3 at work. I don't use Linux on the desktop at home anymore, as I finally realized, after years of...

i've said it elsewhere, i'll say it here... launch a g5 powerbook and I will be one of the first to log into the apple website to place my order. I gather that the lack of a mobile G5 was one of the (several) reasons that they ditched IBM. IBM was also unable to deliver a 3.0 Ghz PPC for thier Powe...

I think I'm returning my iMac (which was less than two weeks ago), as it's performance in anything I've done is not signifigantly faster than my 5 year old 1.3Ghz AMD box, and basically has no future. I had hoped that, you know, the OS, the OpenGL libraries, and Applications in general would be opti...

Can Apple survive for two years without selling any computers?

(See Osborne Effect.)

Hopefully two weeks is still inside of the return policy at the Mac store here.

No point in owning a system without a future.

Star Wars: Ep 3.

Blech. 5/10 -- last 30/40 minutes was all i needed to see of the movie.

I'm just playing through Warcraft III again, and the single player Human campaign has a better written "turning to the dark side" story than Lucas could manage.

Something like 80% of Apple's income is based upon selling high-markup hardware. A switch to (basically) selling software ontop of commodity hardware is an exit strategy, not a growth strategy. Don't forget, Apple probably uses Intel chips for gigabit ethernet, maybe for wireless, the Airport wirele...

As far as I've seen the GW community is FAR more civilized than the Quake 3 community, unlike World of Warcraft, which has very recently seen over 50.000 accounts banned for cheating . You'll pardon me if I interrupt the civilized discourse, but those were Warcraft III accounts, not WoW accounts. T...

If you use Firefox make sure you get this extension to view your RSS feeds. It's much better than the default Firefox tool. Habari Xenu I tried that extension and its fucking horrible. Why would I want to have to navigate through a menu, load a new tab, expand some menu items and then wait for it t...

I obviously don't have any say in the process, but I personally think there should be more Euros looking at the comparisons to the US for this constitution. There are very strong analogies, but I don't really see anyone discussing them. Which seems very odd, considering the popular sentiment of Eur...

out of interest, where did the term "going gold" come from? a "gold master" is the copy of the game that the developer gives to the publisher when the developer is done with it. where that came from, i have no idea. for all i know, it's because cd-r discs were originally gold. *...

Dammit, there go my plan's for my kid's 16th....
