  1. Re:Best game ever idea on Is The Best Game One You Were Never Intended To Play? · · Score: 1

    Oh.. I thought you were going to say "Tetris."

  2. Re:doing this for years -- house rules on Is The Best Game One You Were Never Intended To Play? · · Score: 1

    TFA mentions Easter eggs rather than house rules. Easter eggs just can't be what they were before; the internet makes it too easy to learn everything about a game. There's no way the new Zelda will have a secret room that nobody knows about for years, but ~10 years went by before I found out about the secret room in Zelda for SNES. You just can't have secrets like that in popular games anymore.

    I found that room once, by accident. Of course, my wallet was full at the time. It was incredibly frustrating, being unable to find the room ever again. Having no witness made me look like a lunatic or a liar.

  3. This isn't anything new on Is The Best Game One You Were Never Intended To Play? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I remember playing Goldeneye and Turok 64 with group-enforced rules to spice things up. We'd play "Hunt the Raptor" or assign the best player the worst controller. We called it the Torgo control, if that means anything to you. :)

  4. Re:No, but... on Should We Just Call Dog Breeds a Different Species? · · Score: 1

    It might happen, but the first chihuahua that can't breed with other dogs will have a difficult time reproducing, since it will be the first and only.

    Unless you're suggesting that there will be chihuahuas around that can reproduce with either regular a dog or neo-chihuahua

  5. Re:Biologists already use his criteria. on Should We Just Call Dog Breeds a Different Species? · · Score: 1

    But, in your example, aren't the hybrids sterile? Fin and Blue whales might be able to reproduce, but their offspring can't.

  6. Re:Hard Mode on Sedate Your Kids While They Play · · Score: 1

    How frustrating would it be to get worse and worse over a few minutes, and then never even get to finish the level before you pass out?

  7. Great. on Rutgers Attempts Robot Atlantic Crossing · · Score: 1

    Next we'll hear that this is being combined with the robot soldiers to fight pirates.

  8. Re:DLCs on Fallout 3 DLC Coming To the PS3, New Content Announced · · Score: 1

    Great. Now I have to ebay my original copy before this news hits the rest of the world.

    They call this: Ransom

  10. Re:There's a special place in hell... on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    You don't blame a wolf for eating sheep. You shoot the wolf or build a better fence.

    In this world, you know there are wolves. If you don't protect yourself, then you are a sheep.

    If you haven't seen these, I suggest you spend a minute reading On Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs by Dave Grossman and The Parable of the Sheep by Charles Riggs

  11. Re:This should be a lesson... on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    Pretend I leave my car running, unlocked, and while we're pretending: the top's down. When I return, the car is gone.

    Although it is entirely the fault of the criminal, it is the responsibility of the owner. I should have known how to better protect my property.

  12. Re:bullshit on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    If 16systems was more confident, they'd offer to mortgage up a house or something of value. Maybe take out an insurance policy on the unrecoverable drive from the people that insure super models' legs. $500 just doesn't scream confidence.

  13. Re:You Don't Own MY Works. on Remote Kill Flags Surface In Kindle · · Score: 1

    This is my post. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

    My post is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My post, without me, is useless. Without my post, I am useless. I must submit my post true.

  14. Re:[Block this Application] on The Hidden Secrets of Online Quizzes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Blocking the applications one at a time is akin to blocking spam, one "From:" at a time.

    No, the quizzes show that he'd never have an opportunity to show it off.

    Ah, so just like a real stripper.

  18. Re:the textbook scam on Open Source Textbooks For California · · Score: 1

    My favorite was a physics book a friend tried to sell back, but the bookstore wouldn't take because it was last year's version. This year's version was the same book with a pamphlet literally taped to the front cover.

  19. Re:Primitive visuals the main selling point on A History of Rogue · · Score: 1

    This Nethack comic on User Friendly is the first one I thought of.

    While we're on the topic of Nethack comics, Dudley's Dungeon ran for about 5 years.

    In the interest of Fairness, I suggest adapting this to also allow characters from Nethack or other worthy games.

  22. Re:This is M$ double speak for "Finding Free Sofwa on Microsoft Unveils Open Source Exploit Finder · · Score: 1

    To a passionate free software advocate, M$ is a concise, efficient and - IMO - accurate moniker.

    It's also meaningless, since every business is out for dollars. You might as well say $un too, and same goes for any business with an "s" in its name.

    You can't say that on $lashdot.

    Go to your /etc/hosts file. (sample location: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc\HOSTS )

    I can't find this. Should it be between /boot and /dev ?

    I have an older laptop and Flashblock has really sped it up by freeing cycles being wasted on ads and other garbage. Also, the Flash plugin for Linux seems to be the source of most crashes for Firefox.
