Journal Journal: Oil Industry-sponsored FUD at Slashdot? 12
I am absolutely stunned that Slashdot's editors would give credibility to a completely false story, pushed by a paid industry PR professional. As Rugrat said,
Journal Journal: So, About Dapper . . . 24
For the last year or so, I've been happily using Debian, with a mixture of sources so I was stable, but current, just like nearly everyone who uses Debian.
Then I tried to upgrade or something insane like that, using aptitude, and the whole thing went tits up on me. No amount of cussing, kicking things, or actual tinkering with the software could save my machine.
Journal Journal: play poker for a good cause on sunday july 17th 6
(Cross-posted to WWdN)
The final table of the 2005 World Series of Poker started at 4pm yesterday afternoon, and wasn't finished until just after 7am today. I'm not sure, but I think that's a record. I'd call Pauly to be sure, but something tells me he's crashed out until at least Sunday.
Journal Journal: a little help? 28
I'm sure this is just begging for vandalism (unless those douchebags have grown up and finally kissed a girl) . . . but there is an error on my Wikipedia page that needs to be corrected. I'd do it myself, but that's against Wikipedia editing policy.
Journal Journal: Coming out
I'm afraid I can't live with myself anymore, keeping the most important part of my life hidden. So I've finally decided to do it, to come out. Yes, I'm gay. I've known it for 3 years now but I've been afraid to tell anyone other than my closest friends.
Comment What About Madden? (Score -1, Interesting) 332
From the article: "At least in the short term, Madden's name will stay on the pro football game, rather than being replaced by ESPN or another brand."
I think it would be kind of silly for them to ink a deal with ESPN but not with Madden's current employer ABC. Hell, they're owned by the same parent company (Disney) and Monday Night Football (and ABC show, of course) has already dabbled in the video game market.
I'd expect it of EA to make sure that they had the rights to use of the ABC properties as well, although it will be interesting to see if they somehow incorporate ESPN Sunday Night Football into the Madden franchise.

One day, after leaving some of my CS classes, my friends and I noticed that a guy from our class was bopping around on that game. We all secretly had a laugh, and I secretly hoped I'd be able to play it some day. Two days later we saw him in there again, and two days after that, etc etc. What surprised me more is that this guy isn't a skinny shrimp like me. Props to Ed!!
Somehow I've heard that a girl had a heart attack after stomping around on it for a while. Yikes. Be careful, Ed!
Journal Journal: Posting Blocked - Three Updates, Ban's Gone 1
Well, it looks like I can't post because of too many negative moderations that were done by some people who don't like what I have to say. It's been happening for a while and it finally seems that they got their way...
But we'll see if we can't get this little hitch taken care of. If this journal post is indeed successful, I'll write responses by editing this entry.

Journal Journal: Hopefully This Title Won't Get Changed... 2
Well, turns out I ended up getting a story on the main page, entitled The Politics of the Video Game. However, that was not the one I chose for the story. The title I came up with was Are Politics in Video Games Plaguing Your Brain? The title that michael gave my article was the same as the linked article's subtitle.
