Open Source Mac Game Programming Competition
Geert Poels writes "The uDevGame Mac Game Programming Contest was established by iDevGames in 2001 to energize game development on the Apple Macintosh platform. With the 2002 edition launched only two weeks ago, already 42 games have entered the competition. Most notable about this competition isn't the impressive collection of prizes worth $11,000 but rather the obligation for all participants to submit all source code. This kind of competition is groundbreaking for the Mac community in every way."
first post!
Cool
Shame the mods are too thin skinned to mod the parent up... That's truly funny.
Damn fake geeks that actually lives outside of Slashdot. There is no better way to spend your weekend than at home with Slashdot. Sure you *could* go out and be with actual people, but think of all the great troll posts you'd miss.
While your nellie friends are droning on about all the hot girls they'd like to fuck if they ever grew some balls, you could be AT HOME reading an excellent post about why the Macintosh will be the hottest gaming platform since the XBox, in less than 10 decades. This is not an experience to deprive yourself of! Stay home with Slashdot. Only dumb jocks socialize. Brain not braun, knowlege is power!!!
Not only is Slashdot fun, it's just like a free online-quest adventure game. You can play as peon, posting meaningless drivel in an attemt to collect experience points (known as Karma). If you are good at playing as a peon, you'll be promoted to a knight, and given the ability to kill (mod down) other peons and speak louder. Of course, if this all sounds too boring and you'd like a more difficult adventure, you can always play as a troll. If you can't make up your mind about your character, there's an anonymous coward account free for everyone to use. It's a virtual world of fun!
Remember kids...
Social activities with other people = Bad
Stay at home and participate in Slashdot = Good
Is it fair to call Mac "The Gay Machine"?

Linus, is that you?
I like big butts and I cannot lie.
No but it'd double the amount of functioning neurons in your brain you lonely troll.
What makes more sense is "Anonymous" and "Coward" you lonely, lonely troll.
First off, someone PLEASE meta-mod this into the GROUND. I will be actively meta-moderating in the hopes of finding this on my list for the next few weeks. This is a BLATANT Flamebait. +1 Insightful? I won't even call any names.
:-\ ). The PC is like the suit you can buy at Ames. Looks alright, works for what you need, not the most elegant thing but can be taylored to you needs, plus it's cheap.
To answer your question, troll, it's style. Pure and simple.
When have you ever met a homo who doesn't primp himself to be "pretty"?
Macs are the slickest computer solution. The hardware configs are easily known/coded for, our OS isnt' bloated with a million hardware config "maybes". The sleek plastic designs are sometimes kind of ugly (witness the toilet seat iBook! Yech!) but for the most part are well refined and thought out, both for appearance and functionality. The OS keeps it simple, while allowing flexibility.
The Macintosh is the Armani of the computer world. Well designed, comfortable, sleek, ( expensive
I'm Tokerat. I'm not gay, and I use a Macintosh. Three, actually. And I will never switch.

Hopefully this stupid survey conducted by Ipsos-Reid will not cast doubt on the importance I see of a strong and supportive partnership with our brothers to the south.
...
Quoting, Seven in ten (69%) Canadians think that the United States, because of its policies and actions in the Middle East and other parts of the world, bear some of the responsibility for the terrorist attacks on them, while 15% indicate that they believe that the U.S. bears all of the responsibility.
The question is overly broad and thus meaningless, additionally the timing is both inconsidered and just a cheap way of creating news by bashing Americans. Supporting a soverign nation (Israel) in its struggle for acceptance and a right to exist, and deploying military forces in Saudi Arabia when asked, does not constitute a justification for the cowardly act of September 11th.
For more information, here is an article, but more importantly, I think we should all Ipsos-Reid what we think of their "make news bullshit by bashing Americans" at

To my American brothers, I am sorry for this type of survey, see to it that Ipsos-Reid doesn't do it again... Take the time, even if it is just a two-word email!
