  1. Global Thermo Nuclear War on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    My list never included that, unless you count Missle Command.. (showing my age a bit here..)
    MegaMan 1 & 2 inovative gameplay, even by todays standards.

    Surprisingly NO-One mentioned CS... COUNTERSTRIKE was big for me.
    So was Quake2. I loved playing Quake 2 as Chrome Camo MegaMan!!!!! (best of both worlds.)

    Finally, Warcraft3. The only game to eat a whole summer. Awesome storyline, beat it normal, and went back and beat it on hard. OMG it took for ever and 1 ms.

    oh, yeah, and bbs games BRE, L.O.R.D., Trade Wars, And that RPG one that I can't remember the name of, where you could go and get hookers and stuff..

  2. This truly scares me. on Because Only Terrorists Use 802.11 · · Score: 1

    WAKE UP LEGISLATORS!

    Soon if you donate food you will be responsible to make sure that the can of food has no microscopic pinholes that could have caused the food to spoil.

    Donating money to your favorite charity may soon be a terrorist act if there is a terrorist person who benefits from such charity.

    Even worse:

    If your car is broken into, you are now responsible for finding the thief (you pretty much are by the way...) and paying the police department to run fingerprint analysis. Secondly if the terrorist sells your stereo and obtains money used for a terrorist action by selling your stereo, you are now a terrorist!

    WTF Call this a stupid rant, but if we don't band together against this kind of political bullying what will it take? New York not enough? How bout L.A., Seattle, Miami.

    Contact your congressman

  3. AMATURE PYROTECHNICIAN on Vintage Toys & Tech Photos · · Score: 1

    Greatly appreciating the submision on flaming nerf balls.

    I love to see what the temperature tolerances are of certain objects.

    As an amature pyrotechnician I have built things that are suposed to catch fire, but never anything that wasn't suposed to catch fire and did. The good thing about that is It's easy to get good results. 8')

  4. Re:Good for him {{{MISSION ACCOMPLISHED}}} on HOWTO: Annoy a Spammer · · Score: 1

    MISSION ACCOMPLISHED ... nuff said!

    keeping those disgruntled postal workers employed.
    Thank you. I have postal relatives, and they need a job

  5. The Real Reason for War w/ Iraq on Kazaa And Exportation of U.S. Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    Is because the citizens of Iraq are downloading copyrighted Divxed DVD PRON from Americans. The PIAA(Porn Industry Artists of America) were really pissed when this happend, and so told bush to start a new WAR against this terrorist nation.

    Americans quickly became suspicious about the war, but continued to supply Iraq and it's terrorists with "Ammunition".

    Lol, seriously though. I think that the U.S. is going the way that those far out religious books claim: There will be one unified nation, war will rage accross the planet, and Pr0n will no longer be free, etc. etc.
    I hate those books..

    Turn every stone and there I am.

  6. Re:The clock is ticking on Kazaa Continues to Evolve · · Score: 1

    Could I get an extra side of mashed potatoes w/ that?

  7. Woot! on The Continuing Death of Pinball · · Score: 1

    Lol. I used to work for said arcade. I hade to think of creative reasons to "clean" the machine so I could play it.

    Pin's like that are worth buying for home use.

    "They Stole our Shrubbery! YEah woo yeahhh"

    DW

  8. Pinball is dead because on The Continuing Death of Pinball · · Score: 1

    No one wants to buy them, and Bally/Midway Doesn't want to make them.

    However If all Pin's were as good as Medieval Madness, I would'nt stop playing pinball... EVER!

    Van's Arcade in Puyallup has a few good pins, to get directions and for a virtual tour go to.

  9. Re:My list of skills on Wanna Work for Dave Taylor & American McGee? · · Score: 1

    Hurray for Underpants Gnome Economics!!!!!!!

    My Econ teacher said this one allways works.

    1. Obtain lots of something. (i.e. Gaming Skills.)

    2. Dazzle them with Unobtainium Technology (the ??? part)

    3. Profit.

  10. Re:50 years? Or 5000 years? on Will Earth Expire By 2050? · · Score: 1

    perhaps, but the cheaper eficiancy will cost more. A hybrid prius is 6** a month on a three year loan. This is an astronomical price for a poor/lower middle class person to pay.

  11. Re:50 years? Or 5000 years? on Will Earth Expire By 2050? · · Score: 1

    Thats not what my econ teacher taught me. You can't sell 10 engines and then count on doubling fuel expense. That model would assume that all ten people drive the same distance to work, or have the same driving habits/style.

    Assuming that they did drive the same, you can't just cut fuel economy in half and expect to sell more engines. That would assume that everyone would buy a brand new car just because of fuel economy.

    And even if you did assume that people would buy twice as many cars if fuel was cut in half, then the actual emmisions would decrease as people would be giving up their smog causing cars for more efficient, and ecological ones.

    just my 2.5 cents

  12. Re:Ahh..but where would it have went? on "Living robot" Escapes Lab, Makes It To...Parking Lot · · Score: 1

    lol don't forget people denying that they are robots may also be robot terrorists...

  13. That's a good question, My question is: on What's It Like to be Google's Boss Techie? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Is there anything on the internet that you personally couldn't find with google and if so what was it?

    p.s.
    Thanks for all your help with my school research

  14. I thought the hidden joke was.. on The Boy and his Breeder Reactor · · Score: 1

    "Science allowed him to distance himself from his parents, to create and destroy things, to break the rules, and to escape into something he was a success at, while 'sublimating' a teenager's sense of failure, anger, and embarrassment into some
    really big explosions."

    To sublimate is to convert a solid Directly to a gas without first going through the liquid phase.

  15. Sounds I would like to hear on lowercase music · · Score: 1

    The top ten (11 if you count #5) sounds I would like to hear relating to lowercase music is....

    11. The sound of Spiders walking on a hardwood floor.

    10. The sound of my cablemodem reving up when I turn on KAZAA.

    9. The sound of 'The Sound of Music' in a dvdplayer with the inputs off.

    8. The sound of the electric meter while cracking rc/5's

    7. The sound of my moniter while listening to winamp, and watching various visualizations.

    6. The sound of the first few molecules in a fire oxidizing.

    5. The sound of a mouse farting.

    4. The sound of an acid eating away a substance.

    3. The sound of my boss increasing my pay.

    2. The sound of a lightsaber in standby.

    1. The sound of a router whilst being slashdoted.

  16. APPARITIONALY YOU DIDN'T READ THE ARTICLE on Ten Technology Disasters · · Score: 1

    8')

  17. Blizzard, BnetD and Software the Saga Continues on Warcraft III: The Single Player Experience · · Score: 1

    I think the slashdot crowd seems very torn over this issue, but it is quite simple.

    If you are against Blizzard for their bnetd actions, DONT PLAY THEIR GAMES!

    Seriously though, of all those who complain about bnetd being attacked, how many of you paid for your game?

  18. That wasn't an Earthquake... on 5.2 Earthquake Shakes Up SF Bay Area · · Score: 1

    It was my McCauley http://www.mccauley.com

    Their speakers Rock, I was listening to Linkin Park, and I accidently turned the volume up to 11.

    Sorry it won't happen again.. 8')

  19. Re:UT does it for me... on What Games are You Addicted To? · · Score: 1

    Me Too. I am so addicted, that I trade sleep for "UT time."

    Soon my wife will divorce me, and I will probably loose my house, but if I can score a geforce 3 and play UT2, i'll be ok.

  20. Cola Wars? on Product Placement in Video Games · · Score: 1

    Someone made a Unreal Tournament capture the flag map titled cola wars. Coke for red flag. Pepsi for blue flag. One of the best maps I have played! Lots of fun (p.s. I play that map as blue)

    dw

  21. Re:Prerelease games for benchmarking? on Today's Hardware on Tomorrow's Games · · Score: 1

    Unreal 2 and UT2, are going to be awesome games. There has been many beutiful screenshots from epic, as well as interviews. U2 should be out by the end of this (or maybe 2nd? I forgot) quarter, and UT@ by September.

  23. LOTR on LotR Cleans Up at AFI · · Score: 1

    As good as The movie was(and I think it is one of the best movies I have seen), I don't think that article was worth submission due to the fact that Lotr wasn't even the main subject of the article.

    I mean the article summary mentioned "the Rings" , and the Heading of the article mentioned "The Rings", however the article was describing the awards and who won them.

    Please don't get me wrong. The movie rocked, but I feel that slashdot is feeding the LOTR Comercialism. (sp?)

  24. DESCENT on Mining On The Moon · · Score: 1

    The robots will be taken over by a hostile alien virus, and I will have to go save them in my pyro gx, AGAIN.

  25. Dude, I know what you mean. on Study: Playing Computer Games Makes Kids Smarter · · Score: 1

    Friday night I was playing UT after work and the weirdest thing happened. There I was siting all by my self in the office, and BOOM! I WAS IN THE ZONE. Faces, low grave, 50% falling control. I got like ten flags in a game with over 15 people, and killed everyone in my path. IT WAS SWEET. p.s. I love that game
