I'm mildly surprised that PETA hasn't yet gotten people out there to bemoan the loss of the ingested birds, and insist that we give up commercial aviation, in order to protect them. The media would shit all over them. Literally. Even O'Reilly was like "if a lawyer tries to make a case out of t...

It should also be mentioned that the RIAA has tried to force universities into installing special "tracking" software in their servers, to monitor connections and see who in the networks were doing illegal sharing. It didn't work well of course, so they abandoned that venture. A university...

Well, it could be worse. They could be making a live-action Evangelion.

Not something you see every day... Especially near my area.

Could've been much, much worse. Good job to the pilot.

Well... A Star Trek legend passes...

I grew up watching this guy. Rest in peace, sir.

If you have someone trying to talk and they are wrestling with phrasing, or language, or whatever, you can use the ". . ." or the "--" but if you do it too much it looks amateurish. Hmm, I forgot about the hyphen now that I think about it. I'm guessing hyphens would be used for ...

Shadowtraveler wrote:What about missles, though? With a supergate like the ones on an ori ship you could send a ton of missles through at once against a rather large area of space (well, using tv-movie engagement ranges)

Ori ships don't have gates, and supergates took the power of a black hole to even power up.

The nukes were primarily meant to end the war quickly with as little casualties as possible (I'm using "little" lightly here), because a full military incursion would've been estimated to be much, much more costly, on both sides. The Japanese had a very nationalist culture back then, and w...

And why are they bitching about the modern japan they come from anyways? it's not like japan has it that bad, their economy is doing good, and even the two cities that got nuked would have been fully rebuilt by the time that the destroyer got sent back. Not really bitching about it per se, as attem...

Right click "Computer" and hit "Manage". In Computer Management, navigate to the "Disk Management" entry and check to see if it exists there in the bottom section and/or has a drive letter. If it's there but has no letter, then one of two things can happen: You can righ...

You're saying it's more convenient to drag & drop files as if iTunes didn't already support that feature. Stuff like this is why we think you're being dishonest. Didn't intend to come off that way in that case, so I apologize if so. If it was just a matter of preference that would be fine. But ...

This has always been something I've wondered while writing my personal project's script: How does one indicate "pauses" in dialogue when you don't have room for describing people's actions in text? I'm speaking of dialogue in stuff like comics and game text, where you see characters' words...

It doesn't matter if you were talking about me or not. Claiming that we're hating on people just for not using iTunes is incredibly dishonest if not just outright lying. It seemed that way from my standpoint, and I already conceded to it. I became argumentative because Stark chose to liken people w...

We're decrying people for just not using the program? That's hilarious. I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with mocking people for being dishonest little shits and using half baked reasoning or outright lying. :lol: :lol: Wasn't talking about you; you made several very good points. However, ca...

But know what, I still keep all my music tidily in one dedicated folder, because apparently I'm too much of a nerd to purposely clutter all my files around my harddrives. I'll try to forget places I put things and I'll set new random paths when downloading music or ripping new cds to get rid of tha...

Of course, even if its protected enough that its somehow impossible to pirate, then most pirates will simply go play something else. Once you go pirate, you don't go back. As we have seen countless times, nothing is impossible to pirate. :P And I thought EA learned its lesson when it came to this, ...

OK, I'm posting this from my sister's laptop: I believe the above is the route I am going to use. While I already have an old secondary hard drive, (while back when I had 98SE I used to use it for backup when I reinstalled the OS every 18 months) however at 40gb it is simply too small for all my da...

I'm only halfway through the Zipang anime, but I heard it ended with, well, no ending at all. Is there an official English translation of the manga out there?

I don't recognize a "sptd.dat"; a google search turns up "sptd.sys" sptd.sys Prevx analysis , so malware is always a possibility behind that. Have you tried pulling out the drive and scanning it on another computer? Back on the topic, Adblock is pretty good, but if reinforced wit...

It used to re-run Star Trek TOS, Quantum Leap, Sliders, Outer Limits and shit like that during the day. It showed sci-fi movies (REAL sci-fi movies, not low budget Sci-Fi channel horror movie productions). It had anime on late nights and on Saturdays (I think?). It got its hands on SG-1 and Farscap...

Oh those zany "elites". They're the cause of all this anti-US hatred. The only thing worse than them are the liberals. :lol: There is always an enemy out there in Bush's eyes; if there isn't, I guess he would make one up. Wait a minute there... My cynicism for this country I live in grows ...

Grow a dick, shorty. I made a post with no indication who I was talking to BESIDES THE ARGUMENTS I REFERENCED and you decided I was talking to you EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T SAY THOSE THINGS. You're either fucking retarded or a liar. Watching you cry is pretty funny, however. Are you just going to be a...

Sorry I'm not just responding to you. Someone said AAC might be a bad format to use when ... 360s use it. Oh no, no support on Sandisk players! Disaster. This is NOT a red herring when it's a direct response to someone's statement, dickcheese. PROTIP - if someone replies to something you didn't say...

Oh man, so much hilarious nerdnoise. I hear AAC might give you problems, even though it's better and smaller than MP3s and so ubiquitous even fucking 360s support it. Stay away from that h.264/mp4 stuff too, because shitty $20 devices from Singapore don't support it! Stay with xvid. Even better, st...

Just maybe the demand isn't there for it? I suppose if you ratio normal users who couldn't live without iTunes to higher-level users who would rather use another program, then you would be right. However, outside the pure marketing comparison perspective, there is a demand for it. I'd be more willi...
