  1. NASA wants to create excitement by rice_burners_suck · · Score: 0, Offtopic · on NASA Gives Up On Pioneer 10
    Personally, I believe that NASA is going to "throw away" this Pioneer 10 because of all the problems they've been having. Now, they'll have to convince Congress and the people of the United States that space exploration is a worthwhile objective and that they should continue to receive infinity dollars and forty five cents every year to continue the space program. As part of that process, and in order to help convince the aforementioned folks that they should continue to receive the aforementioned dinero (that's French for money), they're going to close down projects that have yielded little or no excitement over the past few years, potentially putting more resources, as well as efforts, into performing objectives that do create excitement among the American people.

    This post is not off topic, I swear to Dios. The second paragraph contains a bunch of shit, but the first contains useful information. The first paragraph begins here: I just love it when some huge Microsoft ad comes up when I load up a story. Astute readers probably know that I hate Microsoft's guts and that I firmly believe that everything they are/sell/do/say is pure garbage. So when I see one of their ads on Slashdot, I click on it and when their ugly webpage finishes to load, I simply hit the 'back' button. I never look at what they're advertising. Even if I did, I would certainly not be interested in it, whatever it is, because I use products that are in every way superior to theirs. Products like six different distributions of Linux, all three BSDs, versions of BeOS ranging from 3 to 5 (because it's still useful), QNX, IRIX and HP-UX. There were others, but I reduced the list of operating systems to the ones listed here. So Microsoft has to pay for another click that led them nowhere. And I wasted some of their bandwidth. These two facts make me feel good about myself and about who I am. I firmly believe that causing them additional expenses such as the one described herein is a good way to increase one's self esteem (not that I need to do so, what with the 6 different girlfriends I have that don't know about each other, and would probably still love/screw me if they knew, since I am such a studmuffin, so yeah, I have lots of self esteem... girls love guys that troll Slashdot).Now, to what I was going to say about this article before that stupid ad got in my way... Oh, that was in the first paragraph... sorry, forgot.

    Actually, I was going to stop here but I think I'll add more...

    Reminds me of the great toy/game GFingerPoken.

  3. Martin Hock's other work by yerricde · · Score: 3 · on Won't The Real Quickies Please Stand Up?

    Martin Hock, who sent in the Godzilla MAME sighting, wrote a TI calculator game called Insane Game a while back. A(n unofficial) pixel-perfect PC port of Insane Game is available here (press the T key in game to turn off candy graphics and turn on pixel-perfect mode).
    Like Tetris? Like drugs? Ever try combining them?

  4. I hereby invoke the Roman Rule... by Daniel · · Score: 3 · on Games: The Boundary Of Open Development?

    FreeCiv, NiL, Pingus, XPilot, NetHack, Crystal Space, GFingerPoken, Koules, Liquid War, XConq, WorldForge, SpellCast. To name the tip of the iceberg; I don't have time to do this all day :)

    Or, in other words: The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it.

    Cheers,
