  1. Stephen King, author, dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    Horror/fiction writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine house this morning. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't read his books you've probably enjoyed one of his movies. Truly an American icon.

      Oh, be original! Tell us Katz died or something for a change.

      "Sociology/fiction essayist JonKatz was found dead in his lonely house this morning. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't read his columns you've probably flamed him on occasion. Truly a wannabe-Geek icon."

    Ironically, Windows is probably required to view this but here is a C|NET video clip of an IBM engineer ripping on Bill Gates right in front of him.

    My favorite part is the little geek "high five" to the coworker next to him. Looks like they planned this.

    I don't see anything at any major news outlets, yahoo wire reports, or other news sites confirming the truth of this statement. If it's a joke, it's in terrible taste.

      You obviously have a life, therefore don't read enough Slashdot. This post hits about every third discussion, and has, seemingly, forever.

  4. Info from Dyanmix Employee Pending: by Kintanon · · Score: 3, Offtopic

    A good friend of mine works at Dynamix and was in fact the production manager for Tribes 2, he had NO IDEA that this was going to happen, apparently no one told the employees anything. So now he's out of work unless by some miracle he's one of the tiny handful of people that Sierra decides to keep on in some capacity. This is definately a bad thing for all involved...
    I'll try to get in touch with him to get more info as soon as I can, he should be online sometime today.

    My laptop has an ATI Rage w/ 8 mb (Celeron 600) and I can play, just at a low detail level. If you're expecting to be above 40 fps all the time you'll probably need a 1Ghz machine and at least a GF2 w/ 64 MB, probably at least a GTS.

    This is not the best place for this but I'm too lazy to bother becoming a member of www.planettribes.com or some site of this sort for just one puny question. I'm interested in playing Tribes. Actualy here in my firm we play a LOT 3d team shooters and I kinda investigate new games for us to play. I don't care if Dynamix is no more. A good game is a good game and it's only peaty that the company is "shut down" if it made such a great (as I hear)game. Anyway I'm gonna ask you if Tribes 2 can be played on ATI Rage 8mb VRAM (peace of junk i know :P) because this is the majority of videocards we got here. On the Tribes site it says 12mb VRAM minimum and there are some GeForce-s listed and stuff like that. But a gamers hope never dies :P
