  1. It's been out there for a while on Microsoft Posts Source Code For MS-DOS and Word For Windows · · Score: 2

    It doesn't seem to be widely known, but the MS-DOS 6.0 source code was leaked at some point. However, if you look it up you will only see posts from late 2006 when it was indexed by google code search. There doesn't seem to be any information on how or when it was originally leaked it seems like for whatever reason it wasn't big news at the time.

  2. Re:Tech Industry, Take Note from the Gun Industry on Google Asks Government For More Transparency, Other Groups Push Back Against NSA · · Score: 1

    Then I guess you must be happy with PRISM because the definitions of certain words and terms changed over 250 years and because electronic data didn't exist in the 18th century.

  3. Obvious push poll on Majority of Americans Say NSA Phone Tracking Is OK To Fight Terrorism · · Score: 1

    Just like the Gallup poll that showed that 90% of Americans supported universal background checks, it takes a lot of mental gymnastics and creative verbiage to consider 550 people a "majority of Americans".

  4. Re: Accurate game emulation still requires a heft on Retro Gaming With Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Starfox was actually the first SNES game to use the Super FX chip.

  5. Bad news for Google Voice on Google Drops XMPP Support · · Score: 1

    Anyone that uses Google Voice for voip outside of gmail is routing their calls through Google Talk. This is pretty popular on Android using SIP and a pbx account but there are also some standalone applications that handle it. If Google ends up dropping Google Talk there are going to be a lot of pissed off Google Voice users.

  6. Re:Dreamspark etc. on It's 2013, and Windows Activation Is Still Frustrating · · Score: 1

    Its obtuse only if you have paid for it. For the pirates, the activation is included in the ISO

    ...along with a root kit.

    If you happen to be particularly clever, you look for images that come from MSDN. All it takes is a quick hash comparison to the subscriber downloads database and you can verify your image is unaltered. In most cases that is still easier than activating windows.

  7. Re:Features already present in previous versions on The 30 Best Features of Windows · · Score: 5, Funny

    Truthfully it only has one color, Brushed metal.

  8. Re:Snesoid was based on Snes9X on Google Yanks Several Emulators From App Store · · Score: 4, Informative

    Looks like nesoid is based on FCE Ultra (GNU GPL) and gameboid was based on gpSP (GNU GPL).

  9. Re:"Updated" on Sega To Bring Dreamcast Titles to PSN, Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    Of course, this isn't really news since the original soundtrack in Crazy Taxi was already scrapped back when when they did the ports for PC and PSP.

  10. Re:Anyone remember the old Simcity "skins"? on SimCity Source Code Is Now Open · · Score: 1

    http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?gameid=4642 The add-on packs are listed here under 'extras'. However, they only worked on the DOS/Windows versions of the game.
