  3. Rik van Riel soaking up the karma by joshtimmons · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think Rik's discovered a good new way to karma-whore.

    1. Write a VM.
    2. Get a fine article written about your work
    3. Have somebody post the article on /.
    4. Post. Post. Post.

    Rik's put in at least 3 comments in this tree and they're all being mod'ed up.

    I'd better start on my own VM!

    (Or, I'll write a reverse disk-sector mapper)

    Google doesn't translate Dutch, however InterTran gives us :

    "who willingly one's pate upstairs the mowing field uitsteekt"

    I'm guessing it kinda looses something in the translation...

    Why would I want to play Quake at a measily 60 fps for 2 years straight, when I can play it for at most 1 hour at a blazing 61 fps? :)
