  3. Re:I just don't get it... on Kansas Adopts New Science Standards · · Score: 1

    IIRC the conservative Lutheran denominations believe in biblical inerrancy. The Missouri Synod and Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod are examples of these. ELCA, the largest in the USA, is more liberal. There's also conservative Catholic movements who disavow anything the mainline church did starting with Vatican II, and conservative elements in the Anglican church as well (see the flap over the gay bishop), though I can't comment on their believes in inerrancy.

    I'm ex-Lutheran.

    As others have said, there's two KCs. The reason: the MO/KS border changed after KC was founded, splitting the city.

    That's a damned lie and demeaning to Windows to single it out like that.

    It comes down to how much you can trust your boss to not abuse your personal phone. I don't do on call or off-hours support, so it doesn't matter to me that my boss has my ph#, and I don't think she'd call me anyway.

    I don't think you funded the design of your Mustang to the extent that the US government did the F-22.

  17. Pacific Fighters on FAA To Free Aircraft Hobbled By IP Laws · · Score: 4, Informative

    Sadly, this will be too late for Oleg Maddox's Pacific Fighters simulation. Northrop Grumman have been bastards and refused to let 1C:Games use models of N-G aircraft and ships without paying a license fee--something that started when Lockheed claimed the F-22 as their intellectual property, never mind that it's been bought and paid for by the US government.

    Results of this include there being no Yorktown-class model in the sim, nor the TBF Avenger, and I think no more American warplanes beyond the ones initially shipped; contrast this to Soviet, German, Italian, and Japanese a/c being added in patches.

    About time, though.

    The drivers might work well enough and that's the key. If I can run e.g. Compiz and UT2004 with decent framerates, good enough, especially if the 2D acceleration trickles over to fbdev.

  20. Re:Faster than a speeding bullet? on Have You Hit a Gaming Wall? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but compare your movement speed in Ikari Warriors to NES Guerilla War, a far better game. In IW, you die by being hit by *anything*: bullet, grenade, shrapnel, laser. No health or armor. I don't care about quasi-realistic physics if the damn game is no fun.

  21. Super Mario Bros on Have You Hit a Gaming Wall? · · Score: 2

    The giant leap in the middle of World 8-2 in NES Super Mario Brothers. In probably 20 years I've only gotten over it once, then died to something silly before ending the level. I ended up using a Game Genie code in the emulator to beat it.

    Agree with the other person about Battletoads. It's a fun game, for the very short period before it becomes INSANELY HARD.

    Doom 3, because I just got tired of not being able to see anything.

    NES Ikari Warriors. I can't see how anyone can beat it without cheating, because you move so slowly that you can't dodge bullets well and there are so so many ways to die.

    I can run its version of Firefox 1.06 on a Pentium-90 with 64MB of RAM, and it works acceptably. It's also got other lightweight apps suitable for small machines like that, and their are MyDSL "extensions" that can be installed for more capabilities. It can even be turned into a Debian Woody installation.
