Gizmodo reports: Twenty Five Year Old Unix Bug Finally Fixed.

We're not sure why nobody's caught this bug until now, but OpenBSD developer Marc Balmer has just closed the book on a 25-year-old flaw affecting BSD file systems.

Is anybody here a member of UniqueAuction.com?

They have tons of video games and accessories for stupid prices like 59¢.

Yeah, it sounds kinda scammy, but the premise is that the most an item can sell for is 1% of its retail value, and the highest unique bid wins. They make money by charging a fee per bid, although I have no idea how much the fee is. They're apparently offering 5 free bids with signup.

Well worth the 3 minutes:

A fond memory from last week's gaming
I played COD4 last week. For one night. No one was on but Stormblade and A Troll so I joined them. It was one of my fondest gaming memories for the past while.

Please don't let it be Uwe. Please don't let it be Uwe. Please don't let it be Uwe.

Reuters reports that Pirates of the Caribean Gore Verbinski (Yay! It's not Uwe!)will be adapting Bioschock to the big screen.

This means that the movie now has a chance of being good! And if he does a good job, maybe we can start another petition that he gets first crack at any movie adaptation of our favorite games. Read more

Cut it out!

Videogamer has posted a GTA 4 Vs GTA fan article about how Rockstar has ruined GTA.

No I know that GTA4 doesn't deserve all the 10s it has been getting but it does seem that all the Naysayer's have waited a while before coming out of the woodwork.

Where were all the reservations and negative comments when the game was released?

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!
Send me an invite and I will FUCK YOU UP, break my foot off in your ass and leave you so damaged it'll hurt to FART. See if I don't!

Bunch o' fuckin' ASS TURTLES!

Fuck off.

Does this guy deserve to ruin the very IP's we made popular?But worst of all, he keeps making video game movies. Really, really BAD video game movies. So much so, that there is a petition of nearly a quarter of a million signatures strong asking him to stop. Anti-Uwe website stopuweboll.org posts some disturbing statistics:
- Uwe Films released in the U.S.: 3
- Films in the IMDb Bottom 100: 3
- Av. IMDB film rating (out of 10): 2.2
