id Games for Linux PDAs

Quake (screenshots) is available for the Sharp Zaurus and the original Wolf3D is out for the Agenda VR3. Now if only they could do Unreal Tournament over IR ports..."

    Hey, why does /. every once in a while behave so that if you click on a link, any link, you just get the front page? What's the exact problem and, um, why hasn't it been fixed already? :)

      Timmah! does not get free head. He pays $5 a spaz just like everyone else on the Slashdot 'editorial' staff. Well, JonKatz gets a senior citizens discount, he pays $4.

      yeah, this has been happening for months.

      Open source means that all bugs get fixed SUPER FAST right?

      Yeah, right.

    I'm sorry if this seems blatantly obvious to some, but what is "Thanksgiving"? I gather it's a (religious?) meeting of some kind from google but not much else. Don't remember seeing it mentioned on /. before so perhaps a link is in order. Cheers!

      Here is a basic breakdown of Thanksgiving.

      In Canada Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. Unlike the American tradition of remembering Pilgrims and settling in the New World, Canadians give thanks for a successful harvest. The harvest season falls earlier in Canada compared to the United States due to the simple fact that Canada is further north.

      Thanksgiving was orginally commissioned as a religious holiday for American Protestants, but, like other American holidays, has devolved into simply an excuse for something, in this case, get relatives together, and eat a turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuffing, etc. A fun holiday, but it has lost some of its significance.

    Somebody add to my story, please! I've got writer's constipation like you wouldn't believe! -peepoh Tuesday, November 6, 20001. Digging through some boxes in the Psychology lab where I work today, I discovered an ancient box full of syringes, heroine, and what lookedto be the Rorschact Test. Then I found instructions for an old experiment that had been carried out here in the lab during World War II.Apparently the experimenters hypothesized that if American soldiers were to shell the Germans with artillery shells containing a gaseous form ofheroine and then dropped Rorschacht test cards from airplanes, they'd all just fall down into heaps of twitching, high-as-a-kite junkies.Naturally, it all made little sense to me. But then hey, why the hell not try it? So after preparing a syringe with the heroine, I pulled down my pants and injected it directly into my penis. Hey, I'm no perv. There's a lot of blood vessels in there just waiting to carry the delicious drug straight to my brain. I guess I should have known better than to inject 60-year-old opioids into my privates, though, because before I could remove the needle I slumped over forward and continued to fall -- all the way INTO one of the Rorschacht Test cards. Then some oddly catchy electronic music kicked in. Where was it coming from? So began Stage 1-1 of my odyssey.

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    In Canada we call our Thanksgiving, "Lucky Day". After carving the polar bear leg, (which can only be legally eaten on Lucky Day in Canada), we sit inside the village igloo and smoke maple leaves soaked in Bourbon. Happy Lucky Day to all Canadians!
