The game was rewritten to use a completely different engine, uses different set assets, etc. They have no need to use the GPL code. Nice FUD attempt, though.
Talking of twattering, has anyone seen "Contagion"? What a load of web2.0 glorifying shit! And what the fuck is a "tweet" anyway? This bollocking fuck makes me want to quit IT sometimes.
This is analogous to the Freetard, UseTheLTSForStability™ argument.
No actually, a business that relies on its users to pay for a product will adapt to what the users like/dislike whereas a freetard solution is at the mercies of the idiot making the direction (e.g. Shuttlecock) and/or the community who have no design sense and are usually suffering from ADD.
Thanks for playing though, nice to see Jerry's kids attempting some meaningful dialog.
I remember raising this problem on Groklaw: what if the user needs features from the new release or new apps? They called it a 'hypothetical' problem.
Hardly the same. Windows 7 won't likely die a quick death. And since almost all "old" non-Metro software runs just fine with 8, why would developers bother to Metro-ize their programs?
This bollocking fuck makes me want to quit IT sometimes.
We've talked about it quite often here the last months.. yes, I think calling it quits on IT wouldn't be bad right now.
Everything sucks now, and I mean it. EVERYTHING: Social crap, overhyped iToys, Windows 8 freetardization crapula and ionization of OS X, cloud-hype bullshit, lame games reminiscent of early 90s freeware hyped to oblivion, and of course the ever so awesome Loonix..
I can't think of any interesting direction in the industry right now. Unless fart apps on touchy devices can be counted.

It's degrees of the same thing, luckily with Windows 7 you'll have a viable platform for a long time to come, but it's the same problem as which version of Ubuntu to choose if you need something like IE10.
With Loonix the situation is far worse though, I agree with that.
M$ dropped the ball with Winblows8. Imagine, if you can, a touchscreen device with Metro on a spinning cube! You could spin your Metrocube(tm) with the touch of a snot-encrusted finger! You could have Twaddle on one side, Failbook on another, and all sorts of steaming wet cloud shit on the rest!
Fail8 needs Metrocube(tm)! My 50GigaDurden Pentium Pro Beastbox Renderstation for a Metrocube(tm)!
But not as Metrosexual as Joey Sneddon sitting in his mother's basement, fingering the juju charms Shuttlecock gave him in one hand while wanking over Amazon's EC2 Cloud with the other.
Sure, there are people maintaining it and the cost for servers etc, but 30% on all sells for that is rip-off.
Heaven forbid stores should be able to afford the bandwidth for Angry Birds in Your Ass.
Plus it's not like the RAM manufacturers and Video Card manufacturers with their price fixing. Do you complain about that? Oh hell no, who cares about that shit when you can't buy Angry Birds in Your Ass for less than $5.

In that case, they didn't "sell out" the original Nexuiz. They just created a seperate program that doesn't use any of the original code, which they called Nexuiz because they own the trademark, and then stoped calling the old game Nexuiz. If they indeed have rewritten the game from scratch, this is far from "selling out" the original game.
PS: Wikipedia says that "a company known as Illfonic purchased the rights to the name Nexuiz, and a proprietary license to the source-code" (how can you do that?). Either the wikipedia freetards are lying, or the game wasn't written from scratch (i go with the former).

That's because originally they were going to use the Darkplaces engine under a proprietary license but that's not what ended up happening in the end. Convenient how you then left this part out:
On July 13, 2010, Crytek announced that it had licensed the Cryengine 3 for Illfonic's Nexuiz.
On the iTunes music store, 30% was a bargain, because old-style music publishers take far more than that. If you're a musician and you don't like Apple's 30% cut, then go to someone else and see you you like their 60+% cut.
But that's not true for software, and I don't think any app store which exists or is planned has any features which justify a 30% take on the basis of merit. In fact, the Apple app stores -- both the iOS one and the Mac one -- are really a nuisance to use. The programs which the user uses are unresponsive, don't do any intelligent caching to speed up the experience, and have some pretty dumb interface choices. The updating mechanism is nice, but no nicer than many apps already had in place beforehand. And installing programs on the Mac, at least, was pretty damn simple already, so it's not like the Mac app store solved some major problem.
and I don't think any app store which exists or is planned has any features which justify a 30% take on the basis of merit.
It's because they can. If you are a dev and want to reach any iOS devices out there, you 've got to pass through Apple's App Store. Sure there are jailbreaked iDevices, but most iDevices aren't jailbreaked. Hence, even if the user knows your program's name, he can't just go to your site and buy it from there directly (like you can with Android and Symbian, as for example from gameloft.com with gameloft direct).
I remember wen dat nigga opened Al Capone's vault.. and there wasnt shit up in dat bitch... vault was empty LOL

Because they are planning to impose similar restrictions on OS X, perhaps? The Mountain Lion preview showed they are thinking of it.
This has been claimed by idiots like you for years and yet Apple keeps saying it won't happen. I trust them more than internet dickheads like you. Apple only brings in features from iOS that make sense for a desktop OS but they won't turn OS X into iOS since they've repeatedly started that's a bad idea. Only Microsoft and Shuttlecock think foisting tablet UIs on desktops are good ideas.
Oh and it's convenient you ignited my post destroying your claims about Nexuiz. You're a fucking idiot. Go back to the TurdRepository where you belong.

I'm not the person you're replying to, and I'm a Mac user, and I have to say that the presence of Gatekeeper in the Mountain Lion developer preview certainly gives me pause for thought. The option for only allowing app store purchases is a bit creepy, and the fact that the default is restrictive (albeit sanely so) is, too.
Apple has clearly shaken up the requirements for how an app can behave on Mac OS X and still go into the store, because Xcode originally could not be distributed directly via the store (thanks to it having to be able to do things the app store forbids). That means that restriction to the app store would not necessarily be the nightmare freetards think it would be.
After all, if Apple made it so that you had to have the source of any app you wanted to install without the app store (which is how it is with iOS), other than the massive butthurt whining on the Internet most people -- probably even most app developers at this point, given how many things are now available via the store -- probably wouldn't notice the difference.
The only Mac app I know of which would necessarily have problems is Firefox, because it's the only app I can think of which (a) is open-source but usually distributed as a binary rather than source on the Mac, and (b) might not have a license which the app store permits (Apple disallows GPL-only code, and the Mozilla license might be too close to GPL).
(All that said, I think Apple would seriously regret even trying to do this. But I think you have to admit they've been thinking about the whole thing.)
FUCK YEAH SAINTS ROW BROS IS THE FUCKING BOMB HOMIES!

It's getting fucked up. Time to dump tech and sell weed. It really is turning into an Orwellian experience.

I told you before he's not an i-something user, he's a butthurt freetard who can't use his favorite distro (Oombooboo) because the interface changed, and his favorite platform for playing games (Windows) is also changing its DE.
If he wants to change to the third option (Apple something), he'll have to shell out big bucks for it. Hence, the butthurt.
We've talked about it quite often here the last months.. yes, I think calling it quits on IT wouldn't be bad right now.
Yeah I noticed some of those comments - glad to know I'm not the only one thinking this way.
What do you think you'd do instead of IT? I'm considering eventually moving out of Europe to some South East Asian beach. Maybe I should run a bar or something. But will it be enough to escape web2.0?
Romney: Not a true conservative, has flip-flopped on countless issues, and despite his "incredible business record" he seems not to know that the President doesn't control gas prices. You don't even need to take Econ 101 to know that prices are controlled by the market, and OPEC. On top of that he would increase the budget deficit more than Obama, a liberal.
Santorum: Crazy religious zealot who wants to bomb Iran...with what resources? We're $15 trillion in debt and still recovering from a recession. On top of that he was voted one of the most corrupt politicians in 2006, subsequently lost his senate seat by the largest margin in US history, and wants to regulate what people do in the privacy of their own bedroom. He would also increase the budget deficit more than Obama.
Gingrich: Not much to say here. No sense of ethics so he shouldn't even come close to the office of the President. In case you didn't know, he was the only Speaker of the House in US history to be reprimanded on ethics charges (also in a 395-28 vote)
Windows 95 hasn't decreased productivity. It also didn't do something completely assed, like forcing tablet GUI on the desktop (back then it would be a PDA GUI of course).
And the "freetard" excuse gets old. Why must I accept obvious bullshit from Microsoft (and Apple)? Just because they are "not freetards"?
You still think it's possible for someone to be a Republican and not be corrupt or massively stupid or both? All the reasonable people were pushed out of the party by 2000; all that's left are the willfully ignorant ("keep the government out of my Medicare" indeed) and the people who think they can make a buck by exploiting the willfully ignorant, usually by abolishing the few taxes they still pay.
Not that the Democratic party is all that much better. But "I'm a Republican" is now a synonym for "I'm stupid or a lying weasel or both", whereas "I'm a Democrat" is merely a synonym for "I might be stupid or a lying weasel", which is a small step up.
So Windows 8 has decreased productivity? It hasn't even been released, how can it decrease productivity? Again, projecting bra'.
That's pretty impressive twisting of what that anon just said, you had to be working on that for some time to so egregiously mis-interpret what they said.
Ultimately the same result: new UI, minority whined, masses adapted, Microsoft profited.
Yeah, it's not a question of whether Microsoft are forcing a new UI on people, it's whether the new UI is shit or not.
And on the desktop and for corporate customers in particular Win8 is shaping up to be a big pile of shite. If they just keep it for tablets and phones though, it'll be cool.
Luckily Windows 7 will still be a viable platform for a number of years.
And on the desktop and for corporate customers in particular Win8 is shaping up to be a big pile of shite.
This.
Also, I like how you present the issue as "shaping up", because it really is getting worse as time goes by. (In DP we could still turn the start menu back on via a registry hack.)
If they just keep it for tablets and phones though, it'll be cool.
Can't agree with you here I'm afraid, Metro is shit all by itself (some of its main principles are complete nonsense IMO); all the products that had it have failed on the market - Zune, WinPhone, there are even some who will not update their XBox because of the new Metro dashboard.
Microsoft is probably killing their future in portable device market with Metro* and they are risking their desktop dominance to perform this absurd maneuver.
* It's a bit sad that Nokia will go down with them, but then, I never liked their phones, so I don't care much.
Ebil? Well, we knew you are a closet freetard, but you're really making it obvious now.
Hmm...
Could it be that Metro causes freetardedness? Given the practise of dogfooding MS employees are exposed more than anyone, can we expect MS to become a viral hotspot of this illness?
Could MS follow Sun's path?
I guess we'll know when they replace Ballmer... (if the replacement sports a pony tail, but isn't actually a horse, then it's all over).
I'd like to add an extra order of french fries to my order. Also, can you super size it please?
Sorry, we don't do French and we don't have super size cocks. You have to go to the Windows 8 team for that. Ask for Mr. Sinofsky, he can super size your ass.
Also, I just looked... and, well... it seems our dear Win8tard is also the author of the negro-rape-fantasy porn we're seeing here as of late.

I'd fucking love it if Santorum won the presidency, wow, it would be better than the Freetard butthurt when Shuttlecock forced Unity on everyone, better than the butthurt over Metro, better than George W, just think of the lulz!
Ron Paul has a better shot of winning than Rick "Most corrupt politician for 2006" Santorum. Independents (50% of the voters) would vote for Paul, they won't vote for Santorum.
I'd fucking love it if Santorum won the presidency, wow, it would be better than the Freetard butthurt when Shuttlecock forced Unity on everyone, better than the butthurt over Metro, better than George W, just think of the lulz!
Yeah, right up until he thinks God wants him to start a nuclear war against all the Asian nuclear nations at once and ends up deep-frying us all. Or he starts a conventional war with Iran, they screw up the Straits of Hormuz, and the price of oil goes up by 1000%. Or he starts a crusade against anyone who isn't a right-wing Catholic and turns the U.S. into no-man's land. But the two weeks or so between him getting sworn in and him making some kind of fatal, irreversible, obvious mistake would be funny, in a horrific way.
A lot of metrosexual Windows 8 lovers here. Santorum would ass-rape all of you.
Actually, no. Just ask him to use a condom which would make his head explode. There would be a huge mess, but he wouldn't be able to rape anyone after that.
I just came to the realization that not having enough Cheetos in my mother's basement and playing Saints Row the Third alone is not a good combination.
Word of advice newfag: before you vomit in rage to compensate for your blue balls, try to comprehend what someone writes first before throwing random abuse.
This quote from Gulliver's Travels describes Windows 8 quite well:
--
about forty years ago, certain persons went up to Laputa, either upon business or diversion, and, after five months continuance, came back with a very little smattering in mathematics, but full of volatile spirits acquired in that airy region: that these persons, upon their return, began to dislike the management of every thing below, and fell into schemes of putting all arts, sciences, languages, and mechanics, upon a new foot. To this end, they procured a royal patent for erecting an academy of projectors in Lagado; and the humour prevailed so strongly among the people, that there is not a town of any consequence in the kingdom without such an academy. In these colleges the professors contrive new rules and methods of agriculture and building, and new instruments, and tools for all trades and manufactures; whereby, as they undertake, one man shall do the work of ten; a palace may be built in a week, of materials so durable as to last for ever without repairing. All the fruits of the earth shall come to maturity at whatever season we think fit to choose, and increase a hundred fold more than they do at present; with innumerable other happy proposals. The only inconvenience is, that none of these projects are yet brought to perfection; and in the mean time, the whole country lies miserably waste, the houses in ruins, and the people without food or clothes. By all which, instead of being discouraged, they are fifty times more violently bent upon prosecuting their schemes, driven equally on by hope and despair: that as for himself, being not of an enterprising spirit, he was content to go on in the old forms, to live in the houses his ancestors had built, and act as they did, in every part of life, without innovation: that some few other persons of quality and gentry had done the same, but were looked on with an eye of contempt and ill-will, as enemies to art, ignorant, and ill common-wealth’s men, preferring their own ease and sloth before the general improvement of their country

Yea, Eightards foaming about the greatness of Metro, while not caring about the utter shite what forcing it does to the handling of the desktop.
Society begins and ends with Win 8. When blues legend 'Bare Foot D' remarked 'awooooh eeee only my dawg understands me' he was clearly refering to the impact of Win 8 on today's society. A society without Win 8 is like a society without knowledge, in that it demonstrates a coherent approach, something so lacking in our culture, that it is not recognised by all.
Some analysts have been tempted to disregard Win 8. I haven’t. If society has a favourite child, it is Win 8.
To quote the famous political Demetrius Skank 'Taking a walk across hot coals will inevitably hurt your feet.' What a fantastic quote. Both spectacular failure and unequaled political accomplishment may be accredited to Win 8.
One of the great ironies of this age is Win 8. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Win 8 plays a large part in the lives of all. It inspires, provides financial security and it is human.
I will leave the last word to the famous Wyclef Beckham: 'Win 8 is the new rock and roll! And the new opera!'
In depth analysis of Jerkface can be an enriching experience. While it has been acknowledged that it has an important part to play in the development of man, it is impossible to overestimate its impact on modern thought. It is estimated that that Jerkface is thought about eight times every day by socialists, trapped by their infamous history.
There is cultural and institutional interdependence between members of any community. When Lance Bandaner said 'twelve times I've traversed the ocean of youthful ambition but society still collects my foot prints' he created a monster which society has been attempting to tame ever since. Both tyranny and democracy are tried and questioned. Yet Jerkface demonstrates a coherent approach, something so lacking in our culture, that it is not recognised by all.
The F$F is loosing money. Oddly enough, they can still afford to pay some pinhead $82,145 a year.
That's because the FSF is mainly staffed by opportunistic professional types, along the lines of lawyers.
"Yes, I did 40 minutes of actual work this week, which are billed as 6 hours, and I'll take an IOU for most of that if you'll pay the going rate of $1000/hour."
If your Windows 8 experience is so horrible, why aren't you in Winnipeg administering the Beast and helping that crazy old man with his pineapple farm?
You might be able to get some strange out of the 'little woman.'
This shit got old. Is Microsoft and Sinofsky holy or what?
The criticisms of Windows 8 are for the most part substantial and come not from freetards. It's not about "Bill Gates is Hitler" or "proprietary software kils" and such truly freetarded nonsense.
Instead of playing the freetard tune, you should better explain how forced Metro benifits someone, who spends of his time on the desktop doing productive things.
The comments were never strictly just about Loonix here.
Most of the problems with Win 8 could be solved literally in HOURS. Just add an option to get the old start button and menu back for PC and notebook users. The code for all that is already THERE (there was a registry switch in the Developer Preview that did this).
All they need is to add it back and provide a checkbox for it somewhere in the control panel. This would take almost NO WORK on their part.
Yet they want to stiffle and annoy their users ON PURPOSE, just to make some stupid point or something.
That's a truly freetarded mindset and I am disgusted with it. Doesn't matter who's doing it. Neither Mr Ballmer nor Mr Sinofsky are my lovers, so I can complain about it how much I want and I don't care whether some fanboi gets pissed because of it.
He's a disgruntled 711 clerk realizing that he'll have to upgrade his l33t Windows skillz so that he can continue his Access DB in between selling slurpees and lotto tickets.
So you rose to the challenge by going into trance-mode, frothed at the mouth about learning something new, and continue to sperg away. Gotcha.
Because it couldn't be that the new thing we're going to learn is utterly unfit for purpose.
Also, we're basing our experiences on having tried out the previews of Win 8 ourselves, we're the early adopters the people who like change (as long as it's good).
This 'Ohhh, it's just because you don't like change!' argument is also bullshit because no-one on here moaned about the new taskbar in Win7, the ribbon in Office, changes to the UI of Internet Explorer, the re-arranged control panel in Vista onwards, etc. Those were good changes that increased productivity, a wholly different thing to having a tablet/phone interface rammed down your neck on a desktop PC or laptop.
If Windows 8 winds up being a commercial disaster the Win8tards here will come out and claim that they knew it all along.
If you people think that change for the sake of change is super, you really should switch to Linux. You'll get all the ludicrous changes for change's sake you wish for. Become followers of the great Mark Shuttleworth.
LOL, Freetards are all wanking over how bug free and stable 12.04 is. Meanwhile no 3D games work in Wine because of some Xorg faggotry that makes the mouse not work.
I'm sure that won't affect anyone when 12.04 is released.
The next brilliant and insightful rebuttal from eightard will be, "NO U!"
Wouldn't surprise me, W8tards really do have a primitive attitude, they basically act like monkeys; oh well, what can we do... mock them publicly, perhaps?
We're truly in the presence of a genius here, guys.
Nonsense, he's less coherent than Pogson (which is quite hard to achieve).
Because it couldn't be that the new thing we're going to learn is utterly unfit for purpose.
Of course not, W8 is flawless, how can you not see that?!
But it goes beyond that; you see, just yesterday I heard Sinofsky touched a retarded child - it must have been our very own Win8tard - and absolutely nothing happened, a miracle!
What happened to Wayland? Wasn't that supposed to replace X? Thought I'd read that it'd be in 12.04.
It does and it doesn't.
As far as I can tell, Wayland only totally replaces X if both (a) it's running a DE which hooks into Wayland for its high-level window management and (b) the GUI programs are only linked against the high-level window management, rather than against X itself. If those aren't both true, then Wayland runs the program inside an X session inside Wayland.
In other words, until all your programs run Wayland directly, Wayland just adds another layer of decoupling and potential bugginess to a Linux GUI.
And, of course, 12.04 may not have Wayland after all, for all I know. I sure as hell am not going to install it to find out.
Wow the freetard sperglords are out in full force.
Sperglord? Sounds like the villain from a 1980s Japanese cartoon, sort of a sci-fi one. (In fact, now that I think of it, it reminds me of the Zoanoids from Guyver.)
You could make a pretty good series that way. Sperglord is a humanoid alien who sits on a throne and sends minions out to conquer the world. He has various anatomical peculiarities (horns and a tail, say) and has a half-mask with a bionic eye embedded in it. He is invading the Earth because his old planet was driven into environmental catastrophe under his absolute totalitarian rule.
His minions -- keep in mind this is 1980s-style Japanese animation -- bicker and blame each other every time one of their operations fails. They include:
- The nefarious and dishonorable cyborg X11 - The racist stereotype Voodoo priest Ubuntu - The assassin Red Hat (wears a red cape and hat and is something of a lone wolf type) who inexplicably has a sense of fair play (won't kill a wounded foe, etc.) but works for Sperglord anyway - The enigmatic supercomputer G.P.L., which speaks in grunts and partial sentences using a monotone "computer" voice (represented as an unmoving Moai face -- the eyes pulse green when it speaks -- on a screen which is mounted on a prehensile hanging cable). - The sadistic-but-cowardly second-in-command, Colonel Linux, who has a military outfit along the lines of a Green Beret and carries a whip. - A hideously deformed dwarf named Gimp, renamed Gnome in the English dub to get the series by the censors. (Is terribly weak, and gets kicked and threatened by the other villains when they are angry, but is sadistic and dreams of punishing everyone, including Sperglord; at least one episode will feature a villainous plot which fails because Gimp seizes an opportunity to revenge himself on the other villains.)
The evil base is under a skyscraper, which houses the company which acts as cover for Sperglord's operations, Lieber, which is run by a dominatrix-type woman named Kaede, who is secretly a robot named K-D-E, although that fact would not be revealed until the episode in which the heroes finally attempt to infiltrate the Lieber offices.
Every episode, Sperglord or one of his minions would come up with some insanely convoluted plan which would fail because of the interference of the heroes (probably a bunch of kids and an animal mascot, maybe with a giant robot or help from friendly aliens/rebels from Sperglord's home planet). Eventually, the plans would target the heroes more than the planet.
Seriously, this is about on a par with the kids' shows which were on in the 1980s. This would have beaten G.I. Joe, I think.
- User Agent Firefox: a spy, who attempts to infiltrate the human world, but always ultimately fails to understand what is going on because he is not human and Just Doesn't Understand. When not disguised as a human, he is an anthropomorphized foxlike alien. Can send fire blasts from his hands, but seldom uses this power because he is undercover. (Still, he does a sort of Clark Kent/Superman trick to show up and fight the heroes periodically, who of course never catch on.) - Chromium: in a later episode, sent to replace User Agent Firefox. When not disguised as a human, he is a shiny humanoid robot (think "Silver Surfer") Superficially "better" than User Agent Firefox, but fails spectacularly for similar reasons on the first attempt. In subsequent episodes, the two are forced to work in tandem, but spend a lot of time bickering. - Mint Linux: the daughter of Colonel Linux; she wears a similar outfit and has a similar personality, but ends up falling in love with one of the heroes and moons around having divided loyalties for the rest of the series. (Because that's the only thing female human villains ever do in this type of series.) - X-FCE: a semi-sentient carnivorous alien plant, first introduced as a crate full of tanks of spores with "X-FCE" stamped on the side, delivered to Sperglord. If directly addressed by Sperglord or his minions, it will follow simple orders, but otherwise just tries to eat people. In one episode, Sperglord will release X-FCE spores into the atmosphere, and the heroes will fight the plants. The end of the episode will show that at least some of the spores escaped destruction by the heroes, but unless the series goes on for more than a couple of seasons this will never be revisited. - Ganu: looks like a skinny, malevolent adolescent boy. Introduced as Sperglord's nephew, although he doesn't have horns/tail/whatever. Is weak, but has the ability to copy others. - Emacs and V-Eye: a pair of talking, sentient laser pistols delivered to Colonel Linux in one episode. One shoots red, one shoots blue, and they hate each other. (The sentience is limited to being able to talk, listen, and occasionally fire without having their triggers pulled.) In the episode in which they are introduced, the heroes find that the guns can destroy anything, and have a series of near-misses; eventually they manage to convince the guns to shoot each other, which makes them both blow up. In later episodes, they will have been reconstructed, but will be much less powerful.
The heroes should be led by a guy called Sinofsky and have a logo that looks suspiciously like Microsoft's (but not enough that you get sued), while their base should roughly resemble the colour scheme used in Windows 8.
What's that patronising bullshit, 'family discussion on BEST self at school'. Fuck you, patronising cunt.
There seems to be this trend where teachers (in their 20's and 30's) take pictures of this stuff and post it for laughs on their Facebook, in a sort of "oh my look at how stupid the kids I teach are" way. That's how we are seeing so many shots like that these days.

Great, I thought that note was insincere bullshit. Hope that teacher got a complaint after putting that on their Facebook.
Also, I believe that to be more of a bad reflection on the teacher that they find a child's openness about bodily functions to be such a source of titillation and awkwardness.
The heroes of the series would be (led by) two boys named Winston and Maxwell. At the beginning of the first episode, they are rivals, but the first episode story would work something like:
- The two of them are fighting/competing/whatever in some relatively isolated area - Sperglord and his minions land their spaceship nearby, which draws their attention - While they watch, Sperglord orders his minions to begin the conquest of Earth by stealth - Nobody believes the two boys (of course) so they go home (between the following scenes would be scenes of the Sperglord minions doing various evil things) - Winston tells his wheelchair-bound grandfather Bill about it. - Grandfather Bill reveals that he and Maxwell's now-deceased grandfather Steve -- who were amateur astronomers -- discovered the existence of the Sperglord decades ago, and put aside their rivalry to prepare for this day, but the Sperglord is such a retard that Steve died before the Sperglord could prepare the invasion. - Grandfather Bill gives Winston some kind of device (a paperweight, or a pen, or something innocuous like that -- call it The Thing) which is the key to the hidden Earth defense base Steve built under Maxwell's house - Armed with The Thing, Winston goes to Maxwell's house, after they argue a bit they accidentally do whatever it is which makes The Thing work; a door opens into a pocket dimension where there is a UFO-shaped building (the base), which is guarded by... something. Either a cute little mascot thing, or maybe one for each hero (means more toys to sell), or maybe there are robots (which means there will be a cute little mascot robot as well).
As I say, no worse than what was actually showing in the 1980s. Needs at least one female hero, though.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 5000 Newer› Newest»@March 23, 2012 9:34 AM
The game was rewritten to use a completely different engine, uses different set assets, etc. They have no need to use the GPL code. Nice FUD attempt, though.
Glorious Leader brings about more Hope And Change™.
I don't see a particularly major problem here. Just use Win7 until something better (more suitable for your needs) becomes available.
Ok, freetard.
Joey Sneddon just came.
And it almost filled a whole thimble this time.
I think you'll need a whole different kind of OS to suit your workflow, which appears to consist of mainly sucking off Joey Sneddon.
I guess Ubuntu will do for you for now
Use Oompoopoo? Nigga please....
Haven't you heard Ubuntu is the ultimate free desktop experience?
Don't forget to read http://www.ehow.com/how_2257535_get-rotating-cube-ubuntu.html
I am far from being an MS hater, but everything I see about W8 just sucks.
Okay freetard, but remember to get me my fries later on.
Not so much the tech itself, but the design decisions.
Agreed, if it were implemented differently Win8 could be great. Its visual design is pretty, for a tablet or phone for example.
What they've done just doesn't make sense for the Windows audience: particularly corporates.
The fanbois are out in force again. HOW DARE YOU CRITICIZE WINDOWS 8! IT'LL MAKE SINOFSKY'S WIFE CRY!
Or for anyone who uses their computers for more than twattering, angry birds and fart apps.
I don't see a particularly major problem here. Just use Win7 until something better (more suitable for your needs) becomes available.
This is analogous to the Freetard, UseTheLTSForStability™ argument.
I remember raising this problem on Groklaw: what if the user needs features from the new release or new apps? They called it a 'hypothetical' problem.
Eightards appear just as deluded as the Freetards on Groklaw: new version of DirectX? YouDontNeedThat™ IE10? YouDontNeedThat™
Talking of twattering, has anyone seen "Contagion"? What a load of web2.0 glorifying shit! And what the fuck is a "tweet" anyway? This bollocking fuck makes me want to quit IT sometimes.
I also love the "But Apple does it too!" as if that's a justification for anything.
This is analogous to the Freetard, UseTheLTSForStability™ argument.
No actually, a business that relies on its users to pay for a product will adapt to what the users like/dislike whereas a freetard solution is at the mercies of the idiot making the direction (e.g. Shuttlecock) and/or the community who have no design sense and are usually suffering from ADD.
Thanks for playing though, nice to see Jerry's kids attempting some meaningful dialog.
I remember raising this problem on Groklaw: what if the user needs features from the new release or new apps? They called it a 'hypothetical' problem.
Hardly the same. Windows 7 won't likely die a quick death. And since almost all "old" non-Metro software runs just fine with 8, why would developers bother to Metro-ize their programs?
Metro = Unity = Utter fail.
Shoot both Sinofsky and Shuttleworth into space.
Metro = Unity = Utter fail.
I see IHateWindows8 freetard is back. How about my fries? Are they ready?
why would developers bother to Metro-ize their programs?
Because they want to make money?

Your wasting your breath on sperlords; they don't see the monetary benefits, only the freetarded desires.

Hey look, it's Sinofsky's personal fluffer. It's amazing how the Win8 fanbois are just as cult-like as the loonix fanatics.

Yes I'm sure you are. Sinofsky would be proud that you're constantly practicing.
This bollocking fuck makes me want to quit IT sometimes.
We've talked about it quite often here the last months.. yes, I think calling it quits on IT wouldn't be bad right now.
Everything sucks now, and I mean it. EVERYTHING: Social crap, overhyped iToys, Windows 8 freetardization crapula and ionization of OS X, cloud-hype bullshit, lame games reminiscent of early 90s freeware hyped to oblivion, and of course the ever so awesome Loonix..
I can't think of any interesting direction in the industry right now. Unless fart apps on touchy devices can be counted.

There's no way he's smart enough to be an Apple user. You are talking to a very disgruntled freetard who doesn't like the new UI directions.

It's degrees of the same thing, luckily with Windows 7 you'll have a viable platform for a long time to come, but it's the same problem as which version of Ubuntu to choose if you need something like IE10.
With Loonix the situation is far worse though, I agree with that.
Or for anyone who uses their computers for more than twattering, angry birds and fart apps.
You mean like MS Office and Visual Studio which are disappearing?
oh wait...
M$ dropped the ball with Winblows8. Imagine, if you can, a touchscreen device with Metro on a spinning cube! You could spin your Metrocube(tm) with the touch of a snot-encrusted finger! You could have Twaddle on one side, Failbook on another, and all sorts of steaming wet cloud shit on the rest!
Fail8 needs Metrocube(tm)! My 50GigaDurden Pentium Pro Beastbox Renderstation for a Metrocube(tm)!
I'll have my ass burgers slathered with cheese and a side order of fries, please?
Metro is Metrosexual, QED.
But not as Metrosexual as Joey Sneddon sitting in his mother's basement, fingering the juju charms Shuttlecock gave him in one hand while wanking over Amazon's EC2 Cloud with the other.
Can I get an apple pie with that previous order. Oh and a super-sized coke?
Thanks!
The fucking eightard fanbois are pissing me off big time.
These idiots are way worse than freetards, because most loontards have at least the insanity excuse, while the 8tards should know better.

You forgot the 30% tax on appstores.
No way it is justified for an fully-automatic service to tax 30% for digital goods from the "business partner".
Sick.
Sure, there are people maintaining it and the cost for servers etc, but 30% on all sells for that is rip-off.

Fuckin' whiner.
Fuck off, 8tard.
The game was rewritten to use a completely different engine, uses different set assets, etc. They have no need to use the GPL code. Nice FUD attempt, though.
In that case, they didn't "sell out" the original Nexuiz. They just created a seperate program that doesn't use any of the original code, which they called Nexuiz because they own the trademark, and then stoped calling the old game Nexuiz. If they indeed have rewritten the game from scratch, this is far from "selling out" the original game.
PS: Wikipedia says that "a company known as Illfonic purchased the rights to the name Nexuiz, and a proprietary license to the source-code" (how can you do that?). Either the wikipedia freetards are lying, or the game wasn't written from scratch (i go with the former).

That's because originally they were going to use the Darkplaces engine under a proprietary license but that's not what ended up happening in the end. Convenient how you then left this part out:
On July 13, 2010, Crytek announced that it had licensed the Cryengine 3 for Illfonic's Nexuiz.
FAIL.

Re: the 30% thing:
On the iTunes music store, 30% was a bargain, because old-style music publishers take far more than that. If you're a musician and you don't like Apple's 30% cut, then go to someone else and see you you like their 60+% cut.
But that's not true for software, and I don't think any app store which exists or is planned has any features which justify a 30% take on the basis of merit. In fact, the Apple app stores -- both the iOS one and the Mac one -- are really a nuisance to use. The programs which the user uses are unresponsive, don't do any intelligent caching to speed up the experience, and have some pretty dumb interface choices. The updating mechanism is nice, but no nicer than many apps already had in place beforehand. And installing programs on the Mac, at least, was pretty damn simple already, so it's not like the Mac app store solved some major problem.
and I don't think any app store which exists or is planned has any features which justify a 30% take on the basis of merit.
It's because they can. If you are a dev and want to reach any iOS devices out there, you 've got to pass through Apple's App Store. Sure there are jailbreaked iDevices, but most iDevices aren't jailbreaked. Hence, even if the user knows your program's name, he can't just go to your site and buy it from there directly (like you can with Android and Symbian, as for example from gameloft.com with gameloft direct).
Just sayin'
That's fine, but you should stop wearing hoodies before someone shoots you.
It's because they can.
Gosh, really? Thanks, Captain Obvious, I never would have figured that out on my own.
It still doesn't explain why there are similar terms on the Mac App store, where you can publish your software yourself, though.

This has been claimed by idiots like you for years and yet Apple keeps saying it won't happen. I trust them more than internet dickheads like you. Apple only brings in features from iOS that make sense for a desktop OS but they won't turn OS X into iOS since they've repeatedly started that's a bad idea. Only Microsoft and Shuttlecock think foisting tablet UIs on desktops are good ideas.

I'm not the person you're replying to, and I'm a Mac user, and I have to say that the presence of Gatekeeper in the Mountain Lion developer preview certainly gives me pause for thought. The option for only allowing app store purchases is a bit creepy, and the fact that the default is restrictive (albeit sanely so) is, too.
Apple has clearly shaken up the requirements for how an app can behave on Mac OS X and still go into the store, because Xcode originally could not be distributed directly via the store (thanks to it having to be able to do things the app store forbids). That means that restriction to the app store would not necessarily be the nightmare freetards think it would be.
After all, if Apple made it so that you had to have the source of any app you wanted to install without the app store (which is how it is with iOS), other than the massive butthurt whining on the Internet most people -- probably even most app developers at this point, given how many things are now available via the store -- probably wouldn't notice the difference.
The only Mac app I know of which would necessarily have problems is Firefox, because it's the only app I can think of which (a) is open-source but usually distributed as a binary rather than source on the Mac, and (b) might not have a license which the app store permits (Apple disallows GPL-only code, and the Mozilla license might be too close to GPL).
(All that said, I think Apple would seriously regret even trying to do this. But I think you have to admit they've been thinking about the whole thing.)

Here's a nice Gina Wild Cumshot Compilation for you.
Romney: Not a true conservative, has flip-flopped on countless issues, and despite his "incredible business record" he seems not to know that the President doesn't control gas prices. You don't even need to take Econ 101 to know that prices are controlled by the market, and OPEC. On top of that he would increase the budget deficit more than Obama, a liberal.
Santorum: Crazy religious zealot who wants to bomb Iran...with what resources? We're $15 trillion in debt and still recovering from a recession. On top of that he was voted one of the most corrupt politicians in 2006, subsequently lost his senate seat by the largest margin in US history, and wants to regulate what people do in the privacy of their own bedroom. He would also increase the budget deficit more than Obama.
Gingrich: Not much to say here. No sense of ethics so he shouldn't even come close to the office of the President. In case you didn't know, he was the only Speaker of the House in US history to be reprimanded on ethics charges (also in a 395-28 vote)
Goddammit, Leroy, you moron!

Little bit of projecting there bra'.
But the real question is why is this any different than the transition from Windows 3.11 to Windows 95?
I know it's a huge mental leap for a freetard but try to think like an employed professional.
Windows 95 hasn't decreased productivity. It also didn't do something completely assed, like forcing tablet GUI on the desktop (back then it would be a PDA GUI of course).
And the "freetard" excuse gets old. Why must I accept obvious bullshit from Microsoft (and Apple)? Just because they are "not freetards"?
@MARCH 24, 2012 8:34 AM
You still think it's possible for someone to be a Republican and not be corrupt or massively stupid or both? All the reasonable people were pushed out of the party by 2000; all that's left are the willfully ignorant ("keep the government out of my Medicare" indeed) and the people who think they can make a buck by exploiting the willfully ignorant, usually by abolishing the few taxes they still pay.
Not that the Democratic party is all that much better. But "I'm a Republican" is now a synonym for "I'm stupid or a lying weasel or both", whereas "I'm a Democrat" is merely a synonym for "I might be stupid or a lying weasel", which is a small step up.
Windows 95 hasn't decreased productivity.
So Windows 8 has decreased productivity? It hasn't even been released, how can it decrease productivity? Again, projecting bra'.
It also didn't do something completely assed
I seem to remember newsgroup and web site commentary by some loud mouths saying similar things as to what you are mumbling about.
like forcing tablet GUI on the desktop
Ultimately the same result: new UI, minority whined, masses adapted, Microsoft profited.

Yeah, it's not a question of whether Microsoft are forcing a new UI on people, it's whether the new UI is shit or not.
And on the desktop and for corporate customers in particular Win8 is shaping up to be a big pile of shite. If they just keep it for tablets and phones though, it'll be cool.
Luckily Windows 7 will still be a viable platform for a number of years.
And on the desktop and for corporate customers in particular Win8 is shaping up to be a big pile of shite.
This.
Also, I like how you present the issue as "shaping up", because it really is getting worse as time goes by.
(In DP we could still turn the start menu back on via a registry hack.)
If they just keep it for tablets and phones though, it'll be cool.
Can't agree with you here I'm afraid, Metro is shit all by itself (some of its main principles are complete nonsense IMO); all the products that had it have failed on the market - Zune, WinPhone, there are even some who will not update their XBox because of the new Metro dashboard.
Microsoft is probably killing their future in portable device market with Metro* and they are risking their desktop dominance to perform this absurd maneuver.
* It's a bit sad that Nokia will go down with them, but then, I never liked their phones, so I don't care much.

Or he starts a conventional war with Iran, they screw up the Straits of Hormuz, and the price of oil goes up by 1000%. Or he starts a crusade against anyone who isn't a right-wing Catholic and turns the U.S. into no-man's land.

This quote from Gulliver's Travels describes Windows 8 quite well:
--
about forty years ago, certain persons went up to Laputa, either upon business or diversion, and, after five months continuance, came back with a very little smattering in mathematics, but full of volatile spirits acquired in that airy region: that these persons, upon their return, began to dislike the management of every thing below, and fell into schemes of putting all arts, sciences, languages, and mechanics, upon a new foot. To this end, they procured a royal patent for erecting an academy of projectors in Lagado; and the humour prevailed so strongly among the people, that there is not a town of any consequence in the kingdom without such an academy. In these colleges the professors contrive new rules and methods of agriculture and building, and new instruments, and tools for all trades and manufactures; whereby, as they undertake, one man shall do the work of ten; a palace may be built in a week, of materials so durable as to last for ever without repairing. All the fruits of the earth shall come to maturity at whatever season we think fit to choose, and increase a hundred fold more than they do at present; with innumerable other happy proposals. The only inconvenience is, that none of these projects are yet brought to perfection; and in the mean time, the whole country lies miserably waste, the houses in ruins, and the people without food or clothes. By all which, instead of being discouraged, they are fifty times more violently bent upon prosecuting their schemes, driven equally on by hope and despair: that as for himself, being not of an enterprising spirit, he was content to go on in the old forms, to live in the houses his ancestors had built, and act as they did, in every part of life, without innovation: that some few other persons of quality and gentry had done the same, but were looked on with an eye of contempt and ill-will, as enemies to art, ignorant, and ill common-wealth’s men, preferring their own ease and sloth before the general improvement of their country

While Win8 is designed to suck. All the annoyances are designed and fully intended this way.
The F$F is loosing money. Oddly enough, they can still afford to pay some pinhead $82,145 a year.
Nice try, little Windows 8 lover. Nobody cares about the FSF, so you can stop with your pathetic diversion tactics.
Rick Santorum hates Windows 8, too.
While Win8 is designed to suck. All the annoyances are designed and fully intended this way.
Don't tell that to the resident Win8tard, or his mother will cry.
Ok, Bob.
Can anyone recommend a good HD camcorder, I just need it for an upcoming vacation.
Society begins and ends with Win 8. When blues legend 'Bare Foot D' remarked 'awooooh eeee only my dawg understands me' he was clearly refering to the impact of Win 8 on today's society. A society without Win 8 is like a society without knowledge, in that it demonstrates a coherent approach, something so lacking in our culture, that it is not recognised by all.
Some analysts have been tempted to disregard Win 8. I haven’t. If society has a favourite child, it is Win 8.
To quote the famous political Demetrius Skank 'Taking a walk across hot coals will inevitably hurt your feet.' What a fantastic quote. Both spectacular failure and unequaled political accomplishment may be accredited to Win 8.
One of the great ironies of this age is Win 8. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Win 8 plays a large part in the lives of all. It inspires, provides financial security and it is human.
I will leave the last word to the famous Wyclef Beckham: 'Win 8 is the new rock and roll! And the new opera!'
Win 8 plays a large part in the lives of all. It inspires, provides financial security and it is human.
Oh my God, Windows 8 is people!
In depth analysis of Jerkface can be an enriching experience. While it has been acknowledged that it has an important part to play in the development of man, it is impossible to overestimate its impact on modern thought. It is estimated that that Jerkface is thought about eight times every day by socialists, trapped by their infamous history.
There is cultural and institutional interdependence between members of any community. When Lance Bandaner said 'twelve times I've traversed the ocean of youthful ambition but society still collects my foot prints' he created a monster which society has been attempting to tame ever since. Both tyranny and democracy are tried and questioned. Yet Jerkface demonstrates a coherent approach, something so lacking in our culture, that it is not recognised by all.

Wrong, I masturbate only five times every day.

That's because the FSF is mainly staffed by opportunistic professional types, along the lines of lawyers.
"Yes, I did 40 minutes of actual work this week, which are billed as 6 hours, and I'll take an IOU for most of that if you'll pay the going rate of $1000/hour."
Pointless endeavor talking about Win8; as we concluded already, IT is as interesting as a salty fart now.
We should rather talk about the best ways to grow weed.
Wow the freetard sperglords are out in full force.
Microsoft is incredibly smart to release a version of Windows that causes this mass effect with freetards.
All you have to do is mention metro and they froth at the mouth. Hopefully the next version of Windows will make freetard heads explode.
Sure, eightard. Too bad most Win 8 haters are actually people who work with Windows.
Freetards are too busy with Unity too care about Metro.
If your Windows 8 experience is so horrible, why aren't you in Winnipeg administering the Beast and helping that crazy old man with his pineapple farm?
You might be able to get some strange out of the 'little woman.'
You might be able to get some strange out of the 'little woman.'
Yeah right. Like all freetards he'd see Mrs. Pogson's snatch, scream and try to cover it up with a band aid.
This shit got old. Is Microsoft and Sinofsky holy or what?
The criticisms of Windows 8 are for the most part substantial and come not from freetards. It's not about "Bill Gates is Hitler" or "proprietary software kils" and such truly freetarded nonsense.
Instead of playing the freetard tune, you should better explain how forced Metro benifits someone, who spends of his time on the desktop doing productive things.
OK, I thought there never would be a more annoying group in tech than the freetards..
Eightards proved me wrong.
benifits someone, who spends of his time on the desktop doing productive things.
Like posting your opinion of Metro to the comments section of blogs that have nothing to do with Windows?
lol, shut up eightard.
The comments were never strictly just about Loonix here.
Most of the problems with Win 8 could be solved literally in HOURS. Just add an option to get the old start button and menu back for PC and notebook users. The code for all that is already THERE (there was a registry switch in the Developer Preview that did this).
All they need is to add it back and provide a checkbox for it somewhere in the control panel. This would take almost NO WORK on their part.
Yet they want to stiffle and annoy their users ON PURPOSE, just to make some stupid point or something.
That's a truly freetarded mindset and I am disgusted with it. Doesn't matter who's doing it. Neither Mr Ballmer nor Mr Sinofsky are my lovers, so I can complain about it how much I want and I don't care whether some fanboi gets pissed because of it.
Stormfront figures out why a kid needed to be shot to death! Yay for Stormfront, getting to the truth.
Like posting your opinion of Metro to the comments section of blogs that have nothing to do with Windows?
Meh, these comments are on whatever subject the people who post here want.
We don't have moderators who take offence whenever someone goes 'off-topic' or 'necros' an old thread 'round these parts.
He's a disgruntled 711 clerk realizing that he'll have to upgrade his l33t Windows skillz so that he can continue his Access DB in between selling slurpees and lotto tickets.
OK, I thought there never would be a more annoying group in tech than the freetards..
So you rose to the challenge by going into trance-mode, frothed at the mouth about learning something new, and continue to sperg away. Gotcha.

I like the way that, because he's black, he should have to prove that he didn't steal the items in his pockets.
And if he can't prove it, then get shot by someone who isn't even actually law enforcement, or even the store owner for that matter.
Yet they want to stiffle and annoy their users ON PURPOSE, just to make some stupid point or something.
It's been a great campaign to flush out all freetards, and it appears to have worked out well.
You have been identified as freetard 29458-18a-184. Thank you for your cooperation.
So you rose to the challenge by going into trance-mode, frothed at the mouth about learning something new, and continue to sperg away. Gotcha.
Because it couldn't be that the new thing we're going to learn is utterly unfit for purpose.
Also, we're basing our experiences on having tried out the previews of Win 8 ourselves, we're the early adopters the people who like change (as long as it's good).
This 'Ohhh, it's just because you don't like change!' argument is also bullshit because no-one on here moaned about the new taskbar in Win7, the ribbon in Office, changes to the UI of Internet Explorer, the re-arranged control panel in Vista onwards, etc. Those were good changes that increased productivity, a wholly different thing to having a tablet/phone interface rammed down your neck on a desktop PC or laptop.
It's been a great campaign to flush out all freetards, and it appears to have worked out well.
Freetards would be an improvement compared to the crowd MS wants to attract - retarded Farmville addicts and touch monkeys.
Just attracting them wouldn't be so bad, if they weren't keen on repelling their existing customer base as well with their current antics.
If Windows 8 winds up being a commercial disaster the Win8tards here will come out and claim that they knew it all along.
If you people think that change for the sake of change is super, you really should switch to Linux. You'll get all the ludicrous changes for change's sake you wish for. Become followers of the great Mark Shuttleworth.
if they weren't keen on repelling their existing customer base as well with their current antics.
Attention freetard 29458-18a-184: you've already been counted, no need to offer yourself for another freetard count.
There's faggotry afoot here.
The next brilliant and insightful rebuttal from eightard will be, "NO U!"
We're truly in the presence of a genius here, guys.
We're truly in the presence of a genius here, guys.
Yes we are Bob.
LOL, Freetards are all wanking over how bug free and stable 12.04 is. Meanwhile no 3D games work in Wine because of some Xorg faggotry that makes the mouse not work.
I'm sure that won't affect anyone when 12.04 is released.
Here's the link to the bug report.
What happened to Wayland? Wasn't that supposed to replace X? Thought I'd read that it'd be in 12.04.
The next brilliant and insightful rebuttal from eightard will be, "NO U!"
Wouldn't surprise me, W8tards really do have a primitive attitude, they basically act like monkeys; oh well, what can we do... mock them publicly, perhaps?
We're truly in the presence of a genius here, guys.
Nonsense, he's less coherent than Pogson (which is quite hard to achieve).
Why did "John Carter" fail?
Because it couldn't be that the new thing we're going to learn is utterly unfit for purpose.
Of course not, W8 is flawless, how can you not see that?!
But it goes beyond that; you see, just yesterday I heard Sinofsky touched a retarded child - it must have been our very own Win8tard - and absolutely nothing happened, a miracle!
Such wonders are only made possible by Windows 8.
Why did "John Carter" fail?
They mixed Tarzan (jungle, no tech, bare survival and romantic setting) and Martian SF (desert, high tech), what could possibly go wrong?
I really can't imagine anyone be completely confused by such a weird mix of conflicting content, no not even a single person.
What happened to Wayland? Wasn't that supposed to replace X? Thought I'd read that it'd be in 12.04.
It does and it doesn't.
As far as I can tell, Wayland only totally replaces X if both (a) it's running a DE which hooks into Wayland for its high-level window management and (b) the GUI programs are only linked against the high-level window management, rather than against X itself. If those aren't both true, then Wayland runs the program inside an X session inside Wayland.
In other words, until all your programs run Wayland directly, Wayland just adds another layer of decoupling and potential bugginess to a Linux GUI.
And, of course, 12.04 may not have Wayland after all, for all I know. I sure as hell am not going to install it to find out.
Why did "John Carter" fail?
They didn't hire Schwarzenegger. For christ's sake, he was on Mars in 1990! Made a bloody mess.
See you at the party, Richter!
We're truly in the presence of a genius here, guys.
Who's "we"?
Why did "John Carter" fail?
Not enough towering robots and giant explosions, I would say. People like towering robots and giant explosions.
Why did "John Carter" fail?
1. Joey Sneddon didn't advertise it on OMG! Ubuntu.
2. It was not made with free software, therefore no support came from the FSF.
3. People thought it was about a doctor in an emergency room.
4. The talented Blender guys couldn't work on the effects due to Project Mango.
5. They filmed it with proprietary cameras.
6. Stallman was declined a scene where he'd tell the Martians about the GPL and free software.
7. Stallman took a bath right before the movie opened.
(The list goes on...)
Who's "we"?
The freetard and his sock puppets.
Wow the freetard sperglords are out in full force.
Sperglord? Sounds like the villain from a 1980s Japanese cartoon, sort of a sci-fi one. (In fact, now that I think of it, it reminds me of the Zoanoids from Guyver.)
You could make a pretty good series that way. Sperglord is a humanoid alien who sits on a throne and sends minions out to conquer the world. He has various anatomical peculiarities (horns and a tail, say) and has a half-mask with a bionic eye embedded in it. He is invading the Earth because his old planet was driven into environmental catastrophe under his absolute totalitarian rule.
His minions -- keep in mind this is 1980s-style Japanese animation -- bicker and blame each other every time one of their operations fails. They include:
- The nefarious and dishonorable cyborg X11
- The racist stereotype Voodoo priest Ubuntu
- The assassin Red Hat (wears a red cape and hat and is something of a lone wolf type) who inexplicably has a sense of fair play (won't kill a wounded foe, etc.) but works for Sperglord anyway
- The enigmatic supercomputer G.P.L., which speaks in grunts and partial sentences using a monotone "computer" voice (represented as an unmoving Moai face -- the eyes pulse green when it speaks -- on a screen which is mounted on a prehensile hanging cable).
- The sadistic-but-cowardly second-in-command, Colonel Linux, who has a military outfit along the lines of a Green Beret and carries a whip.
- A hideously deformed dwarf named Gimp, renamed Gnome in the English dub to get the series by the censors. (Is terribly weak, and gets kicked and threatened by the other villains when they are angry, but is sadistic and dreams of punishing everyone, including Sperglord; at least one episode will feature a villainous plot which fails because Gimp seizes an opportunity to revenge himself on the other villains.)
The evil base is under a skyscraper, which houses the company which acts as cover for Sperglord's operations, Lieber, which is run by a dominatrix-type woman named Kaede, who is secretly a robot named K-D-E, although that fact would not be revealed until the episode in which the heroes finally attempt to infiltrate the Lieber offices.
Every episode, Sperglord or one of his minions would come up with some insanely convoluted plan which would fail because of the interference of the heroes (probably a bunch of kids and an animal mascot, maybe with a giant robot or help from friendly aliens/rebels from Sperglord's home planet). Eventually, the plans would target the heroes more than the planet.
Seriously, this is about on a par with the kids' shows which were on in the 1980s. This would have beaten G.I. Joe, I think.
Oh, some more minions:
- User Agent Firefox: a spy, who attempts to infiltrate the human world, but always ultimately fails to understand what is going on because he is not human and Just Doesn't Understand. When not disguised as a human, he is an anthropomorphized foxlike alien. Can send fire blasts from his hands, but seldom uses this power because he is undercover. (Still, he does a sort of Clark Kent/Superman trick to show up and fight the heroes periodically, who of course never catch on.)
- Chromium: in a later episode, sent to replace User Agent Firefox. When not disguised as a human, he is a shiny humanoid robot (think "Silver Surfer") Superficially "better" than User Agent Firefox, but fails spectacularly for similar reasons on the first attempt. In subsequent episodes, the two are forced to work in tandem, but spend a lot of time bickering.
- Mint Linux: the daughter of Colonel Linux; she wears a similar outfit and has a similar personality, but ends up falling in love with one of the heroes and moons around having divided loyalties for the rest of the series. (Because that's the only thing female human villains ever do in this type of series.)
- X-FCE: a semi-sentient carnivorous alien plant, first introduced as a crate full of tanks of spores with "X-FCE" stamped on the side, delivered to Sperglord. If directly addressed by Sperglord or his minions, it will follow simple orders, but otherwise just tries to eat people. In one episode, Sperglord will release X-FCE spores into the atmosphere, and the heroes will fight the plants. The end of the episode will show that at least some of the spores escaped destruction by the heroes, but unless the series goes on for more than a couple of seasons this will never be revisited.
- Ganu: looks like a skinny, malevolent adolescent boy. Introduced as Sperglord's nephew, although he doesn't have horns/tail/whatever. Is weak, but has the ability to copy others.
- Emacs and V-Eye: a pair of talking, sentient laser pistols delivered to Colonel Linux in one episode. One shoots red, one shoots blue, and they hate each other. (The sentience is limited to being able to talk, listen, and occasionally fire without having their triggers pulled.) In the episode in which they are introduced, the heroes find that the guns can destroy anything, and have a series of near-misses; eventually they manage to convince the guns to shoot each other, which makes them both blow up. In later episodes, they will have been reconstructed, but will be much less powerful.
That's quite a funny story you got.
Should put together a script and approach Hollywood.
Yes!
The heroes should be led by a guy called Sinofsky and have a logo that looks suspiciously like Microsoft's (but not enough that you get sued), while their base should roughly resemble the colour scheme used in Windows 8.
Meh, these comments are on whatever subject the people who post here want.
Yeah, but posting here is certainly not productive in any sense of the word, which is what he is whining about (his lost productivity).
I do have to wonder how long it's going to take him to try the consumer preview to update his rant (the orb registry hack no longer works).
I'm thinking he'll have a heart attack with this weird emotional attachment to an interface paradigm and all the Twinkies he has munched while stoned.
What the fuck problem does that douchebag teacher have with what that kid did? He was just being honest.
What's that patronising bullshit, 'family discussion on BEST self at school'. Fuck you, patronising cunt.
Did one of your many kids get detention for drawing himself urinating on a shovel?

There seems to be this trend where teachers (in their 20's and 30's) take pictures of this stuff and post it for laughs on their Facebook, in a sort of "oh my look at how stupid the kids I teach are" way. That's how we are seeing so many shots like that these days.

Great, I thought that note was insincere bullshit. Hope that teacher got a complaint after putting that on their Facebook.
Also, I believe that to be more of a bad reflection on the teacher that they find a child's openness about bodily functions to be such a source of titillation and awkwardness.
Did one of your many kids get detention for drawing himself urinating on a shovel?
Yeah, then I got detention* for falcon punching the teacher in the cunt.

The heroes of the series would be (led by) two boys named Winston and Maxwell. At the beginning of the first episode, they are rivals, but the first episode story would work something like:
- The two of them are fighting/competing/whatever in some relatively isolated area
- Sperglord and his minions land their spaceship nearby, which draws their attention
- While they watch, Sperglord orders his minions to begin the conquest of Earth by stealth
- Nobody believes the two boys (of course) so they go home (between the following scenes would be scenes of the Sperglord minions doing various evil things)
- Winston tells his wheelchair-bound grandfather Bill about it.
- Grandfather Bill reveals that he and Maxwell's now-deceased grandfather Steve -- who were amateur astronomers -- discovered the existence of the Sperglord decades ago, and put aside their rivalry to prepare for this day, but the Sperglord is such a retard that Steve died before the Sperglord could prepare the invasion.
- Grandfather Bill gives Winston some kind of device (a paperweight, or a pen, or something innocuous like that -- call it The Thing) which is the key to the hidden Earth defense base Steve built under Maxwell's house
- Armed with The Thing, Winston goes to Maxwell's house, after they argue a bit they accidentally do whatever it is which makes The Thing work; a door opens into a pocket dimension where there is a UFO-shaped building (the base), which is guarded by... something. Either a cute little mascot thing, or maybe one for each hero (means more toys to sell), or maybe there are robots (which means there will be a cute little mascot robot as well).
As I say, no worse than what was actually showing in the 1980s. Needs at least one female hero, though.
Yeah, then I got detention* for falcon punching the teacher in the cunt.
How do you know the teacher wasn't a dude?
lol, guess I should have read the note...
