  1. Re:The fight is lost on Avoiding a Digital Dark Age · · Score: 1

    My Atari ST disks are all archived on my raid5 with backups.

    And guess which ones made the cut, it's not the ones with codewheels and junky color swatches. It's the ones with the catchy introtunes and the scroller texts that read "elite" or "automation".
    The guys liberating these media are gonna be remebered for a damn long time.

  2. Re:Super mutants going cheap on Super Strength Substance Approaching Human Trials · · Score: 1

    As long as they're limited in intelligence and can follow orders there will be a market. I suggest politicians as the base.

    I don't think that word means what you think it means. Then again, this is slashdot.

  6. Incentive on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    I had to find out a system that works before i could commit to exercising. While I still don't like to exercise i have been able to keep it up 3 times a week (1 hour) for the last year.

    Basically i treat myself to something i like during the exercise. While my method might not work for you in the same way, it has helped me greatly. They way i kept this up is by saving all the series i want to watch and only watch them during the workout. It might seem a bit weird, but it helped me a lot.

    I do a start up of stretches, then some crunches after wich i hit the crosstrainer for half an hour. I finish up with 15 minutes of rowing and some cooling down stretches.
    All in the comfort of my home, while watching my favorite series (i'm currently into Eureka) using second hand equipment. You'd be amazed how cheap second hand exercise equiment is, and most of it is allmost new.

    Keep in mind though, that you will need to do this for as long as your have work that's not physically active.

  7. Re:Not free. Digital downloads, easy updates. on Free Games As a Solution To Game Piracy · · Score: 1

    I also have to comment that my pirating has gone down considerably since installing Steam.

    With Steam they made the legal copies as easy as the illegal ones.
    No CD, install anywhere, play anywhere or downloading the whole thing.

    That coupled with their awesome games is a potent combination, no wonder a whole heap of publishers hopped on Steam.

    ...his whole argument has been null and void since the beginning anyways, due to the very fact that he's still alive.
    If gamers were so influenced by violent games, someone would have surely shot him.

    He's the lowest of the low, he uses terrible events like shootings to push his agenda on people.
    I hope he does some time so he can find out what REAL violence is all about.

  11. Re:What a joke. on Doctorow Tears Up ISP Contract Over Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    I posted a comment about the obnoxious ads they put into a movie someone else created.
    Something along the lines of "I hope you send some of that [advertiser] money [creator]'s way".
    Guess which comment didn't make it...

    Bunch of hypocrites.
