  1. Remember, though, these are the same guys who stand in line for 24 hours just to get the new Dragon Quest release they can order online.

    Uh... yeah...

    Who knew our resident dragon was such a poetic soul at heart?
  4. So, some game company was finally so desperate for a new naming scheme that, instead of adopting the current year, or even trying to simply use a new month-year dating nomenclature, hit on the idea of consulting the periodic table of elements? Well, at least the next 100 or so sequels names are in the bag! What's next? Madden NFL Football: Ununquadium?

    Happy Feet?

    What the HELL is this movie about? Thus far, it just seems to be one long music video, according to the ads. Just penguins dancing around and singing rap and modern so called "songs." Is there really NO story to it? That the producers know it is THAT bad of a film and only market it with sound bytes and vox pops?
  6. Wow, this was a surprise! The #5 request for the Funny Five countdown on this week's Doctor Demento Show: Doctorin' The TARDIS by The Time Lords!

    Storm on Saturn

    I had not thought of that! Makes perfect sense! The first one touched by the Monolith, would go about on 2 legs, be somewhat intelligent and articulate and lead the rest to humanity. Where once they have developed the technology, they make a movie about their hero, where he stars giving Han Solo commands.
  9. Yeah, I am sorry. I did not word that very well. I meant to say creating a bootable disc image using an extracted boot sector file thinggy from the bootdisc itself. I just used that as the boot image and burned just it and the folder containing things that were run on boot. It would start to boot and, well, I forget, but, it was chronicled in my post in the past... wherever that was. Really helpful here, I know.

    Storm on Saturn

    And, it will be full of stars. Hey, anyone else ever imagine this? The Monolith, tumbling full space, when it turns around to reveal the back side we haven't seen yet... and it's Han Solo's visage in the frozen carbonite!
  11. Or, maybe not. Not for Jack Palance, who said that in Batman, anyway. Jack's not back. He's no longer with us. For me, I think I'll always remember one of his lesser roles, as a racist post Civil War in a film called The McMasters, where his co-stars have also passed on. Brock Peters as a freed slave and Burl Ives as, well, I forget, actually. Jack also starred in an unfairly overlooked (Although, even I admit, it wasn't great.) remake of The Shape Of Things To Come. Of course, how can anyone forget that hallmark moment of doing a push-up when receiving your Academy Award, at his age? And, we'll just forget that one time he appeared in a Joe D'Mato Emanuelle movie. Even Stacey Keach, Jr. had to appear in a cannibal flick. Oh, I forgot another favorite role of mine! The star of Rod Serling's original "Requiem For A Heavyweight" on TV.
  12. ORKUT is an American service for people who cannot spell, who cut themselves, and live in Oregon.

    Storm on Saturn

    Wow. This thing is apparently 2/3 the size of the Earth. The entire continual 48 US states apparently will fit inside of it. Yet, the most unusual thing is... there are no oceans, etc. for Saturn to use to power and constitute such a storm! In fact, there's no real surface to speak of on the planet. Solidified gas. In fact, in yet another twin attribute of Jupiter, it may not even have a solid core. So, what is creating such a storm of such massive size? MONOLITHS!
  14. Don't know if it applies here or not, but, I still haven't been able to get a booting disc from a Linux bootable disc's image.
  15. Sort of like the dumbs laws still on the books in the US: here in town: 1.) it is illegal for a woman to buy a new hat without first consulting her husband on the purchase 2.) it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sunday afternoons Other dumb ones: Oklahoma (which should get a Darwin award just for existing ): 1.) it is illegal to own a whale In a landlocked state, remember... 2.) there is still one town where you must hitch up your cars to horse hitching posts. The horses are long since gone, but, no one changed the laws on the books.

    LOST Lottery

    I've won 8 million virtual dollars from Deal Or No Deal by picking either case 6 or 9. Six because it's been my favorite number, 9 because of how September 9th always fucks me over. And, I also know if I ever got on the show, if I picked 6, it would have a penny and 9 would have the million. Or vice versa. Because, guess what? That actually DID happen a few weeks ago.
  17. The best fan-fucking-tastic reply I've seen all day!
  18. I never claimed I was taught anything I needed to make it in real world. Either in computer science or life itself. Actually, I believe I have lamented the first fact many times before. And, well, probably the second, too. #39;(

    Bob Ehrlich

    ICH BIN ERHLICHT! SO SEHR, SEHR ERHLICHT! HA! You're just jealous because I could actually MAKE that connection, on sight, myself! Well, 'tis to be expected. Genius, such as I, is rarely recognized within the lifetime of said genius. So, I guess, best to be a self fulfilling prophesy, I suppose! HERE'S TO IMMORTALITY, REMEMBERED AS THE GENIUS I WAS!

    Bob Ehrlich

    There's been an election race involving one Bob Ehrlich that has gotten news attention. Well, Fox News attention, so, who knows, really, how important this may have been. BUT, it has always made me laugh when he's mentioned. Because ehrlich is a German word that can mean one of the following: aboveboard candid decent direct fair faithful forthright frank honest honorable ingenuous on the level open plain sincere single Now, I wasn't aware it actually meant all these different things. Only honest. But, I always thought it funny. A politician who never ran on his own name? "I'm Bob Ehrlich, and, remember, that means, I'm honest!" I think single is a funny one, too. "I'm Bob Single. Vote for me? Marry me? PLEASE?!" #39;(
  21. Sy N. Ide?
  22. Hmmm. I somehow missed that the firmware was displayed there... wow. I'd toss these gabapentin if I didn't depend on them, in terms of a psychological, physical, and emotional dependency... oh, pill bottle! I STILL love thee, despite thy new smell of rocket fuel! Tooltip! That's the word! Yes, believe it or not, I really DO have a computer science degree. Well, technically, it says Mathematical Sciences on it... something else I worked hard for and didn't get. Oh, well.
  23. I was wondering/thinking of a possible addition. You know those windows that appear when the mouse floats over whatever it is the programmer wants them to? How there are those for the free space on disk, etc. I was thinking about one that appears when the mouse hovers over the drop down list that contains the target the drives. And then a dialog of attributes about the drive. Like the currently installed firmware version. And, well, I can't think of anything else. Mostly, I was just thinking about the firmware version as something to appear in a hover window.
  24. What's it called? I only remember the one with Steganos in its name.
  25. How about a really ironic death? Let's gas him with his own weapons of mass destruction that he didn't have.
