  1. Re:Best line in the article... on Do You Thrive or Crack Under Pressure? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I wonder whether it can also be the other way around. That people who are always sick tend to end up negative and pessimistic? I know I would be.

  2. Re:First Post on HP Linux Laptop Is A Winner · · Score: 1

    32MB RAM doesn't consume much power ;)

  3. Atari Star Raiders on Video Games Hit The Big Screen · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Atari Home Computer version was projected on the roof of an observatory (planetarium?) in the very early 80's.

    (most of these details could be wrong from it being so long ago, but I saw a photo of it.)

  4. Re:this might stop some software patents on Microsoft, Apple Sued Over Software Update Patent · · Score: 1

    I don't know if it is enforcable, but no-one sells a competing product made with the Borland products that I know of. (Bloodshed C++ and Pascal, free development environments were made with Delphi, but I don't know if they got any attention about this)

  5. Re:this might stop some software patents on Microsoft, Apple Sued Over Software Update Patent · · Score: 1

    Yes they do. If you read the EULA of a Borland (and probably others) compiler/ide commercial product, you will see clauses that prevent the use of the language to create a competing product.

  6. Re:Read Something Different Every Month. on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    I read about this 7 years ago in an article about Bill Gates. It said he tries to read a magazine a month like this. (Semi) random websurfing achieves the the same effect.

  7. Re:Competetive? on Wired on McBride · · Score: 1

    If you can be happy without being rich, who needs the money?

  8. Re:Adulthood calls... on Playing Games While Not Ruining Your Relationship? · · Score: 1

    Personally, someone like that isn't worth being in a relationship with.

    Agreed.

    Cool chicks exist who will love you (there are always going to be _some_ inter-species problems though :) , and they rock.

    Don't let the insecure passive/aggressive she-freaks try to convince you otherwise.

  9. Denim on Programming For Terrified Adults? · · Score: 1

    It's a fascinating handdrawn design app, that might be appealing to non-programmers.

    Here it is

  10. Re:License is *NOT* changing on CA Advantage Ingres To Be Released As Open Source · · Score: 1

    We want to make certain that everyone understands that no changes have been made and that a change like this would never happen with discussion with the community as a whole

    heh, whoops?

    Anyway guys, good luck at re-educating the great unwashed :)

  11. Re:Hi! I'm a butterfly! on "A Sound of Thunder" Movie This Summer · · Score: 1

    I've got a queer eye for the butterfly.

  12. Once the tech gets cheap enough... on Koolio, the Beer Delivery Robot · · Score: 3, Informative

    In Australia, we already have it...

  13. Re:99% certainty the buyer is ... on Delorean Time Machine Replica Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    Delorean! Delorean! Delorean! Delorean... Delorean! Delorean! Delorean! Delorean! ... Heeerrrrrruuuuuaaaaaghhhh!!!

    I... love... this... movie!!!

  14. Re:Crock of Shit on FAA Grants Sub-Orbital License to SpaceShipOne · · Score: 1

    To summarise:
    C? E B DEAD!

  15. Re:Oooh... on 3D, FPS File Manager · · Score: 1

    There was a crappy game called Virus that was a doom-like FPS which used your directory structure to create the maps and put odd text and image files on the wall, IIRC.

  16. Re:What have the Americans done for us ? on Always Look on the Bright Side of Life · · Score: 1

    I dunno. You personally aren't responsible for anything your leaders do. Neither am I. Your country's leadership are money-hungry, power-hungry backslapping inhumane fuckwits with so much negative karma that they should all have been eaten slowly by flesh diseases for the amount of blood they have spilt in the name of personal favours. But I don't hold that against you, personally.

    Cheers!

  17. You insensitive clod, I still use delay lines on DVD-RW Incompatibilities? · · Score: 1

    You insensitive clod, I still use delay lines

  18. Ask the dinosaurs... on Asteroid to Make Closest Recorded Pass to Earth · · Score: 1

    I think they'd agree that one (or two) came closer.

  19. Re:Democracy on MPAA Puts Words in Mouth of CA Attorney General · · Score: 1

    It doesn't exist. I think I should have type unfactually, instead of infactually.

  20. Re:Democracy on MPAA Puts Words in Mouth of CA Attorney General · · Score: 1

    Infactually, the complete and un-taken out of context quote is:

    The triumph of money over common sense is what this war is the first stage of. Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism. Because it is a merger of state and Corporate power,however, war will always beat fascism pants-down for hosting a popular economic self-raping of a country.

  21. Re:Eh.... on Changing Jobs for Job Satisfaction? · · Score: 1

    So because you read something like this "would like to start developing games for cell phones and pdas", and this "suprized that people haven't taken the ititiative to start up there own niche based software companies", and you think you can just do it, because you think game-programming would be fun, and pda type games don't require three years and a huge team to create?

    I like your flair, so good luck.

  22. Re:Sarcasm follows on Anatomy of Game Development · · Score: 1

    That would be System Shock 1. Get the CD version if you can. It was like walking through a seriously fucked up "Choose Your Own Adventure" sci-fi novel. (I mean that in a good way. Thank you SS1 for helping make second year uni the longest three years of my life)

  23. Re:PC? on Magic Words - Interactive Fiction in the 21st Century · · Score: 4, Funny

    If a bodice-ripping romance is not an adventure then you, good sir, are jaded....

    >L

    You look around you and see a POINT the previous poster made.

    >GET POINT

    Point taken.

  24. Re:Sharing Code Already on Australian Tax Office Adopts Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    Haha :) Not so hairy anymore.
    Hope things are good with you.

  25. Back to Manual on Australian Tax Office Adopts Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    I went back to manual filling in for the same reason. Weird, because the software is written in Java.
