First of all continuity - you will be glad to hear that we will publish source code. This is very important to us. It's very important to our investors, too. They understand that one of the main reasons people trust PGP is that its source is available. Our forthcoming source release will be for PGP 8.
Their declarations are always global (I think this comes from living in The Hub)
Always? 100% of the time? 100% of the MIT students?
They invariably want to use Microsoft products
so? You don't like them, but someone else does... that makes them a crappy programmer?
They use C++
Ah so because they use a particular language, they suck. Right. Of course, you fall into the same trap by essentially stating that C++ sucks, and offered nothing there eithe.
Their array initialization routines are almost always O(n) instead of O(log n)
ok, so they suck as programmers because of how they initialize arrays
They never shower
and body odor has exactly what to do with programming ability?
Honestly, you say the MIT programmers are the worst you've seen, and those were the best examples you could come up with?
Funny, those look just like the rules on my machine... nowhere do they mentioned a special "drinking version" which is what I was asking the OP about, since they mentioned they had a drinking game for it.
Do you think those 15 year old cashiers even look at your hand-written signature to see if it is yours?
Years ago when I worked in retail, I used to check the signatures. I used to make people show me their id if the signature area on the card was not signed.
I used to LOVE when people would comment "But if I sign it, then if someone finds my card they can see how to copy my signature!". Really? Nice try fucknut, but if you leave it blank and someone finds your card, they can sign it in their own handwriting and not have to go through the hassle of learning to copy yours.
That ususally resulted in them giving the "oops, didn't quite think of it that way" sigh, followed by them signing the card....
Maybe readers of/. do that too, and if so, i would love to hear a legitimate reason for leaving the strip blank (Note, blank, not writing "CHECK MY ID" in the space).
You literally stood inside the environmental unit. It had six channel surround sound-- stereo front, stereo rear, a center channel near the control deck and a bass channel in the rear of the cabinet that you were leaning against.
Totally immersive, especially for 1985 or so.
Yup, the environmental DoT as that unit was called was very impressive. There was also a "regular" machine style of the game, which is far more rare. Both are pictured here.
I know someone that managed to score a beautifal enviro version of DoT about 6 years ago, for around $1500. Then some asses robbed his house one night...it wasn't enough to just rob him, they had to trash the place too. They couldn't very well leave with the behemouth of a machine, so they knocked it over, smashed it to shreds, etc.
For classic game collectors, such as myself, it's hurts knowing these things are so limited, and when they are found, idiots just trash them
But DoT is a very cool game, as is the regular Tron game (which I own). It will be interesting to see Tron 2.0. It will also be interesting to see the movie when it finally gets released. For now, we have to subsist on the 20th anniversary dvd that just came out of the original:)
Should we trust the ability of auditors that state there are four freaks working on the project, then proceed to list five people?? Hell, even if they started counting at 0, it's still 5 people...;-)

It's like claiming that for an algorithm with exponential complexity it's just "an engineering problem" to build a computer that can run it in reasonable time.
And even if you do build it, the damn Vogons are just going to bulldoze it to make way for a space superhighway, a few minutes before it's done computing
As someone who has 13 video games and 2 pinball machines, put in LOTS of power and on different circuits. Also GOOD ventilation, A/C, and kill the lighting....much better to play in the dark.
I'll tell ya, it's great fun to have a bunch of people over and playing. The sound of the arcade on full brings you back in time 20 years
I wish I had room for more pinball machines. I wish my wife would let me get rid of the dining room table to put an air hockey table in. I wish I had room for a pool table.
Most of all, I wish it was 5 years ago when RGVAC was the only place to get machines, and the prices were far better (til eBay came along)
Well, anyone have anything break due to the rollover?

This morning a bug was discovered in most versions of CVSup up to and including SNAP_16_1c. The bug causes all newly-updated files to receive incorrect timestamps. Usually the files receive timestamps from early in 1970. This bug has been present for a very long time,
but it only began to have an effect when the Unix representation of the date and time passed 1,000,000,000. That occurred on 9 September

I didn't realize this would be open source (or have I not been paying attention, and it has always been OSS??)

How nice of you to make blanket statements of how BSD sucks and Linux is better, without providing one single point to support that!
Just because you have an opinion, doesn't mean you're right.
And actually, I remember seeing a release schedule which stated that they wouldn't recommend the general population to use 5.x until 5.2.
I just looked, this was the only reference I could find (note this schedule was done before the decision to push 5.x to 11/2002 instead of 11/2001)

Seeing as I own a Pin*Bot machine, I have to ask.... What are the rules??
I guess in about 17 years it'll be time to ask that girl if she'll sleep with me if the world was about to end
;-)
and won't *you* feel like shit if she still says no?
Only in some areas. A lot of areas are just 4-1-1.
Agreed! It would have to be done right though. And if it was a success, the other books could then follow into movies.
Better still, go LoTR on them and film all 7 at once *g*
You left out Mason, which could very well be a solution for the OP.

If anyone cares, the linux .bin file installed without a hitch on my FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE machine (which has linux compatibility enabled).
This is a rare one. I've seen a couple, but never gotten to play one. I've heard gameplay sucks, but at least the cabinet is cool looking! :)
