    Lets not forget, the greatest game ever written... P51.
    Head to head combat over a 300 Baud modem connect..
    Gotta head over to eBay now... Need P51 fix...

  2. FreeCiv on Holiday Games For Linux · · Score: 1
    The BEST (Most addictive game for me) has got to be freeciv..
    I used to have a sexlife, but then I discovered multiplayer FreeCiv.

    Oh well, my Ex is better off without me..

  4. Re:Can anyone explain the logic behind this? on Naughty Words in Domains · · Score: 1

    Whoops... Wrong answer... Smeg is a real word. No one was more surprised than me..
    However, like the cast, I ain't saying what it means. :)

    Shame on you.... Only 3 cups? I need at least 6 just to get from the bed to the shower.

  7. Re:On Censorware In General on Online Rights And Real World Censorship? · · Score: 1

    Blocking the word "breast" is a probably a bad idea.. Too many nonpr0n uses of that word... But I did a quick test and if you filter out "cunt, tits, and fuck" you will get rid of the ten sex sites I tested.
    I admit it was a quick test, but so far so good.

  8. Re:Full featured palm/laptop request on More On The Compaq iPAQ Linux Handheld · · Score: 1
    You are not alone in wanting this. The main things I want, (Ie: Can't live without) are tcp/ip, ethernet, and a keyboard.

    Any ideas???? Anyone????

  9. Re:Isn't this how non-geeks decide? on Fred Moody Says Linux Worst Operating System Ever · · Score: 1
    So again it raises the question. Should Linux be mainstream? Is it even close to being ready for mainstream?

    Perhaps a better question is "Would you want to do tech support for your mother running Linux?"

  10. Re:Less financial crap. More databases. on Ideas for High School Computer Projects? · · Score: 1

    You were spoiled... All I had in school were XTs and a few PC jrs... I still have some of my Turbo Pascal code from those days...

  11. Trackball on Classic Gaming Gets Recognition · · Score: 1
    "Centipede" taught me as early as 1984 that a 3" trackball is the only true pointing device.

  13. Re:Area 51 on Ask The NSA About Certain Things · · Score: 1
    So, like does the President really not know about Area 51 being a place to store aliens? I mean in Independence Day, he didn't seem to. So is that really the case?

    They don't want you to know, but Area 51, is just there to make all the UFO nuts looking at Area 51. Like a magician giving you a flurish with ihis right hand to hide what his left hand is doing.....
    Oh no, I have said too much....

    "Ok. Hoaxers and people with twisted, sadistic senses of humor. Fair enough?"

    Thanks, I will take that as a compliment... I thought it was funney as hell, and they got me... I even bookmarked the page in case they came up with a way to make it work as an SMP unit.

  16. Re:wrong message on Cracked Series Complete · · Score: 1
    Have you ever noticed how when it comes to hacking/cracking that it all comes back to a Unix variant of some form or another? Why is it the media (be it web based or otherwise)is always portraying Unix/Linux systems as being constantly hacked into or cracked?

    I think it is because when an WinNT or Win00 box is hacked (Don't let anyone tell you they arn't being hacked.) the box crashes, and is then reinstalled. *nix boxes have extensive logging right from the moment you start the install process, so you have a way to find out what happened.

    As a British Columbian I can tell you the the current BC gov, operates much like M$.
