SCOrched Earth
mm0mm writes "Just hours after we read Darl's open letter on copyrights, Groklaw has another breaking update on SCO up on their website. SCO's Reply Memorandum of Law in Support of its Motion to Compel Discovery is now available. (original document here) The memorandum requests court to order IBM, the defendant, to provide evidence and support their case against ....IBM. :D When I was young, it was the plaintiff who was responsible for preparing enough evidence to present to the court, but in Darl's world, with army of lawyers who will be given 20% of the proceeds from the settlement or of 'a sale of SCO during the pendancy of litigation', apparently rules are different." Lawrence Lessig has a great piece reviewing Darl's nonsensical letter.
slightly offtopic I know... but I imaginet he title must have got a few of you thinkin how you could get ahold of scorched earth again...
I enjoy Scorched3D, a pretty good 3D remake of the game
And the orignal Scorched Earth.

Must... resist... urge....
Damnit, I knew I couldn't resist! Keep your eye on a game called Trajectory Zone. Beta 3 (it's a closed beta, sorry - but you can contact the author for beta signup information) The screenshots only show some of the environments, but you can also see some of the cool random level generation toys and the toys for modders (Trajectory Zone has an IDE in it. Not exactly normal for a game... :-) Or you can take a look here at another couple o' screenshots, including how particle based nuclear explosions look in the game.
However, this isn't just Scorched Earth in 3D. It's got the classic turn based play if you want, or a new simultaneous fire resolution mode (everyone locks in a shot, and they all fire at once), or you can get nasty with it and play the realtime versions of the game. There's just.... LOTS of cool stuff in there. And of course, it's going to be available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX.
Sorry - couldn't help but plug the game. I'm the owner of Midnight Ryder Technologies (the company doing Trajectory Zone), and plugging the game is just one of those things that's almost reflex these days :-)

Apparently you have to spell feces correctly to have been to Lindon?
I find it quite interesting how you can correct someones spelling errors while making your own. "Feces", used occasionally, allowable to mispell. "You're", used constantly, just fucking stupid to misuse. No wonder you cowared behind an annonymous post, you probably spent 10 minutes looking up the correct spelling of 'feces' but forgot how to use your/you're.
