  1. Why turn-based games have failed.. on Turn-Based Games: What Happened? · · Score: 1

    Well, I have thought over this for many an hour and have come up with 4 reasons that will probably blow all of you away -- perhaps setting a new metric for the quality of turn-based games. Stay tuned next week for my next turn, where I explain reason number 1.

  2. An interesting read.. but lacking on Physics of Billiards · · Score: 2

    For example, where are the formulas for deformation of the playing surface due to the 350 pound man who leans his stomach onto the table to make the distance shots?

  3. Speaking of security through obscurity.. on Security Through Obscurity - Spam Mimic · · Score: 1

    How's that secret BIND group doing?

  4. The anti-aliasing is flawless.. on Anti-Aliased GNOME and Mozilla · · Score: 1

    I went to gnotices and my browser rendered under Windows 98 SE "Connection Refused" perfectly.

  5. I am confused.. on Eidola - Programming Without Representation · · Score: 1

    and intrigued!

  6. Fire...... Wire........ on Record HDTV To A FireWire DV Deck · · Score: 1

    What does Cosmic Gate think about this? Fire......... Wire........

  7. Re:Bad thing on Robotic Mining Arrives · · Score: 1

    Read "The End of Work" by Jeremy Rifkin. It should answer your concerns.

  8. Re:Mod Parent Down on Paul Guyot Releases ATA driver for NewtonOS · · Score: 1

    I used my last point moderating "First post" up.

  9. Thanks a lot.. now I'm broke. on Is Linus Killing Linux? · · Score: 1

    "Linus is killing Linux just as horribly as I'm killing Slashdot. " This one comment has caused the value of VA Linux stock to plummet from $8 to $0.03 a share in 6 hours.

  10. I completely agree.. but on Making Software Suck Less · · Score: 1

    You could have shortened the article by stating the following: Software today sucks. If you would like proof, go visit linuxgames.com's top 10 holiday game list.

  11. Remember the fibre optic cable shortage in the 80s on Optical Fiber Capacity Growth · · Score: 1

    All those post-modern hippies buying fibre optic cable lamps for their home? This is most likely the cause of severely limited bandwidth on the Internet today. Combine that with the fact that each Katz posting uses up over 50 TB of bandwidth on a daily basis to transmit to slashdot readers who blindly worship him and we have some serious issues. There is a solution though, and it's one some might call it old-fashioned. But it will work: Stop using up bandwidth to view pornography.

  12. We're missing the real issue... on DirecTV Can Disable HDTV Reception Remotely · · Score: 1

    Take your little HDTV.. Make sure it's unplugged. Put the Directv system on top of it. Make sure it's on securely. Polish up the screen really nice.. Turn that HDTV sideways and..

  13. "I wonder what it costs to look at the on Understanding the Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    windows source" ... Just post the review and stop it with the low blows. It's because of shit like this that people stop reading the headlines here.

  14. Remember VA Linux stock? on Corel to Sell Off Linux Division · · Score: 1

    $30. Skyrocketed to $200. Back to $8. All in a year. No wonder Corel is bailing.

  15. This is terrible.. just terrible on Microsoft And Sun Settle · · Score: 1

    What I'll miss most about java would be the removal of hackish sleep() statements I put in my code in order to stop it from running too fast when it was C code.

  16. Is nothing sacred anymore? on DirecTV Can Disable HDTV Reception Remotely · · Score: 1

    I haven't heard of a topic this controversial since the argument whether or not Linux should be pronounced "Line Ucks" or "Lynn Ucks"

  17. I had a great teacher on Who Were Your Best Teachers? · · Score: 1

    His name was Mr. Bollea. He would always encourage us to take our vitamins, say our prayers, and get 8 hours of sleep so we could be good little Hulkamaniacs.

  18. This sounds very interesting on Sega, Motorola To Load Games On New Phones · · Score: 1

    What I'm really looking forward to is the day where my palmtop can download banner ads.

    1 million monkeys logged onto their 1 million computers to compose 1 million comments about the article.

  22. This is the first example.. what could be next? on GPL'd Code Finds New Home · · Score: 1

    First this program.. what next? PySol stolen? Someone should look into Lemmings.. maybe they stole the source from Pingus! Pingus3D is out now.. we'll just wait and see if Lemmings3D comes out, then we'll nab them using a combinations of strings, strace, and my Sega Genesis' Blast Processing unit.

  23. They Are Watching on Cryptome Posts Just-Released Tempest Documents · · Score: 2

    I hope none of you actually go read that Tempest Document. They are going to track you all down. I am writing this message from a public library with a hood on so the Cameras and Helicopters can't see me... oh god.. they've come.. they're trying to unplug the equipment.. luckily they run Linux here so there's no USB stuff plugged in which is easy to pull out

  24. A child prodigy? Wow on Tutoring A Child Prodigy? · · Score: 1

    Let's teach him Linux first to topple the evil Microsoft! Can we build a Beowulf cluster of him? I hope this posting gets through, my computer seems to be lagging while my thinkgeek purchase of the "First Post!" clipboard is being processed.

  25. Now that the polling machines are unused... on Election Wrapping Up (Part 2) · · Score: 1
