Comment on Best of The Super Nintendo by Iván Garcerant
Good list indeed. I miss this console the first time so I am playing these games only after the end of the 16bits era. School not let me made the upgrade from NES to SNES...
Comment on Installing a Canon Pixma iP1600 Printer in Ubuntu Linux 7.10 by Snapper.VTR
Thank you for such a clear and comprehensive guide, all seemed to work and I successfully printed a test page. I then tried to print from Word Processor but no result from the printer. I went back to Administration Printing and tried to print the test page again with no result. I've tried turning the printer on and off but it seems to have no effect. Any thoughts?

A new Sunday reading? Can it be? I am really embarrassed my blogging has been so spotty and sketchy lately. But let’s get on with three weeks of saved up links! That I love the Onion A.V. Club is no secret. But it’s easy sometimes to miss the gems hidden in the blog. Like this [...]
Comment on operation C complete by Gunhaver
I've always had a special place in my heart for Super C. Did you ever play a contra clone on the NES called Heavy Barrel? It was a copy but it remember it being very good. Me and my cousin played that game obsessively. It didn't have any side scrolling, the entire game was in the birds eye view. As you played, you would pick up pieces to a super gun. Once you had all the parts you could use this gun that had bullets that took up a third of the screen and it would annihilate everything. But it would only last for about 30 seconds. Ah, fun memories...
Comment on operation C complete by geozeldadude
hmm. never heard of it. i had played ikari warriors though. i find the top-down view to be slower than the side-scrolling view, but i'll be on lookout for it. there's this other top-down run 'n gun i used to play in the arcade when i was a kid (1987-ish) but i don't remember the name at all. i think one of the guys was red and the other guy was blue. anyone have any ideas? not sure if it was ever ported to the NES.
“Terminator: Salvation” Teaser Trailer
christian bale | entertainment | movies | teaser | terminator salvation | trailer | trailersNot a bad teaser trailer, all things being equal. The one quick shot of a person being snatched by a giant mechanical hand from out of the building is really cool and very creepy. Bale has never given a bad performance, but he is not immune to being in bad films. Its getting increasingly difficult [...]

“Yes Man” Poster
entertainment | funny | jim carrey | movies | posters | yes manWhen was the last time Mister Carrey was funny? And we mean really funny? Horton Hears A Who doesn’t really count, so whats before that. Fun With Dick And Jane? Not funny. The Number 23? Yes, funny, but inadvertedly so. Lets settle on “its been a while.” So much so that we look less and less [...]

Comment on “Terminator: Salvation” Teaser Trailer by Renton Mason
Wow, that trailer didn't feel like anything 'Terminator' at all. :|
Comment on Dr. Horrible concludes…and how by Lanchka
Dr. Horrible = awesomely cool Dexter = insane cool Thank you for pointing me to places I wouldn't normally have gone. Oh, and I think that Daniel Craig would almost be a perfect Rochester, except that he wouldn't, if that makes sense.

Comment on Orwell would be turning in his grave, innit by Perpetual
I get a call of Kwik Fit every year for my insurance. Somehow, somewhere I snuck onto their insurance database for one of the cars. They are not competitive. In fact their insurance service is about as good as their tyre sales/fitting service, i.e. gash!
