What a big steaming pile of bullshit. May I remind you that AV's first post was Rowling never appealed to me anyway. Her crap cannot reach the greats of Tolkien, Lewis and Pullman, but the kids of today haven't a clue. Yet he didn't get the full patented asshole treatment. What's the first reply I g...

Personally, I find the story of Harry Potter to be unimaginative, infantile and cliched. I've read synopses and watched the movies, I know the plots of the stories and find them extremely dumb. I started one of the books, it's all just... I don't know, really pointless party tricks to make kids gig...

Ghost Rider wrote:Wow, and when pressed beyond just using kneejerk "It sux0rs!" you actually provide criticism why you didn't like it.

Amazing how people actually have to be prodded to offer something other then a buzzword byline.

More fucking proof that you didn't read a word I said before.

Want a more concise personal analysis of whatever amount of text I read? Ok, here it goes. The author/apologists/fanbois/whatever claim that this book is aimed at young adults, and that it gets more mature as the books advance and the characters advance in age. What I see is not only writing that cl...

The point is simple. Seeing the movie and going "Books suck!" is literally going "I want to feel big because I know the lesser of the two. Try "seeing the movies and reading a bit of the first book before discarding, trying the first 6 chapters of the last book", or fucking...

P.S. make sure to call me a chauvinist pig the next time I post something you disagree with.

They're actually doing to fight Linux. And wtf is an "asshat nation"?

From what I hear, it would be more dangerous to have a ninja pilot the airplane and land it on the courtyard and then teleport inside or do some other ninja thing.

And they made it look like both sides: the secular side (evil atheistic school, except it wasn't atheist at all) and the ID side had compelling and valid arguments. They won and the judge decided that if they started banning Intelligent Design they would have ended banning Math or something (slippe...

Works by Isabel Allende like Eva Luna and House of Spirits

Someone said the XBox version is not updateable anyways, so the only fix possible is getting a full patched game IF the company decides to release one.

Anything with Dean Cain in is a riot. I swear, Dragon Fighter gets even funnier and more retarded every time I see it. Wasn't he in some crappy movie that used EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE CHASE SHOT from T2? Man that was hilarious, some evil terrorists actually blow up Cyberdyne Industries (they didn't ev...

Sounds like the defendant's argument boils down to "ok, I killed him, but I feel REALLY REALLY BAD about it, so you should cut me some slack". I don't see how anyone can use that as a defense, even if the word God is mentioned somewhere. At least this wasn't like that fucking BULLSHIT epis...

I googled it, and found this http://www.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?doc_cd=122296 With XPSE, only three applications can run at any one time. For example, if Yahoo Instant Messenger, Microsoft Instant Messenger and an e-mail client were running, the user couldn't open a Web browser. That's a really ...

You, a federation citizen, have mysteriously been put in charge of Starfleet. You are given directions to turn it into the finest fighting force in the galaxy. You are given a large budget, and freedom to do whatever you please to change Starfleet, with no political consequences. Why do you hate me?

Well, being Wong's site and all, I suppose it's up to him whether he allows this or not. And since he pretty much recommended these programs from the start of the thread, that seems like a yes.

Also during the first demo, I remember that you can't even meet othe players in the "wilderness" areas. AFAIK every player gets an instanced version of it when they go out of a city. The game is not much different from hosting a 4-8 player round of Gunbound or Half-Life, but instead of the...

Not to mention that the only players sharing a battlefield is the 4-6 players that have teamed up for a COOPERATIVE mission, and that all the loot is distributed randomly between the members no matter who clicks on the dead body first (I think, maybe I'm confusing it with some other game). (not coun...

The valid rundll isn't also some background application that runs all the time. Mostly it should only show when you have a control panel or similar program open.

Also try terminating it on the task manager right before you delete it.

It can't be a style over substance fallacy , because nobody's arguing that it makes logical sense or is using it in an objective debate ;) It's just style over substance, but then again most art is. Think about it, if I write 2 or 3 pages of poetry/lyrics, and the message basically boils down to &qu...

The way the online stuff in that game works is not too different from say, Diablo's Battle.Net thing or Gunbound. You go into a chatroom, you talk to people, you decide to join a game that is actually hosted in one of the computers as a small-scale multiplayer network game, then the mission is over ...

I'm in no hurry. I'd rather the theatres aren't so full.

Also I don't really know if they're showing it that day here. A private club is going to show it I think but it's all sold out.

*Clears throat* Umm... DMCA, anyone? Mentioning the tools is pushing the "no illegal activities" clause, and the server's still in the U.S., last I heard, so... You can always claim that the DMCA is an illegal law, which it is, since it violates other laws. Or you could go the other way, ...
