  1. A nasty looking dwarf throws a knife at you! on "Choose Your Own Adventure" On Your iPhone · · Score: 1

    Port the InfoCom stuff. And Colossal Cave. Render the glowing, green text to resemble the phosphor of a slump-back Tektronix terminal, like the computing labs had in 1979.

    I like the Bally and Midway as much as the next chap, but this becomes a story, when the winner is deaf, dumb and blind!

    How have you been here, since the 90's (UID 6400) and I haven't seen you before? I remember people with the same name as me!

    A powerful, mean and hateful man - who's wealth and power have brought no comfort to his cramped and ugly little self. The paucity of his humanity is demonstrated with every pathetic grab he makes.

    I have a household of EIGHT people. 6 of these, own iPads - including 4 children.

    We are all both "iPad owners" AND "independent critics." The bloody thing is a good portable consumption device. It is in some ways flawed. It is in other ways brilliant. It's not our religion.

    I run a stripped PPC Ubu on a Blue and White G3. Works. As good as the R4000 Indigo on Irix 6.5 that sits next to it. (NOT NeXT to it!)

  19. Re:Oblig Blind Faith on Industrial Marijuana Farming Approved In Oakland · · Score: 1

    Wonderful.

    It must have been great to see 'em. Closest I come to that is post-Janis Big Brother and Joe Cocker - who were on a bill in Monterey in '71 or '72. That was an afterglow "festival" tied to Vietnam-protest - not the famous 1967, where I would now have killed to see The Butterfield Blues band perform. But I was only 3. :-)

    I can't say enough about Stevie Winwood. 16 years old, he sounded like like a brother, who'd really got the chops. That's not just technique, but feeling.

    And his underrated guitar playing has always been mind blowing. Listen to his Hendrix tribute in Pearly Queen. I think he is super-hip to Buddy Guy, too. Buddy was certainly one of Jimi's forerunners.

    In '94, he sounded as good as '68.

    I can listen to Shanghai Noodle Factory all day long. Makes me want to break out the chelsea boots and velvet waistcoat again...

  23. Re:H1b? on Cyberwarrior Shortage Threatens US Security · · Score: 0, Troll

    A shortage of "CyberWarriors" is the answer to our fervent hopes and prayers.

    Maybe we need "CyberCriminalInvestigators" or "CyberContractSecurityGuards" - just no "Warriors" for a "war" that is as pointless and inevitible in its outcome as the "wars" on poverty, drugs and crime.

    You want a war? Declare one on investment banking. You'll save more lives, and do more to protect your way of life than any "CyberWar".

    You have no idea, the numbing internal lists that I have been subscribed to through role-policy.
