  1. Re:I can't wait for GTA: Boise on Rockstar Announces GTA San Andreas · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Who cares! GTA VC was not much better than GTA3. Engine still basically the same. Textures changed, different cars and ability to fly helicopters, ride bikes etc. But therein lies the beauty. It's about the storyline, the different feel. Yes, it was a major bonus to have a bit more freedom and that's what I think they will probably improve in GTA: SanAn but I still enjoy playing GTA3 every now and then even though I clocked both.Small differences and a different timeline and improvement in the AI will make this one even better although probably not much different visually from the others. I've been a GTA fan from the first one and the only one that dissapointed me was GTA2. I for one cannot wait to get my hands on this one!

  2. Ahh the memories.. on Magic Words - Interactive Fiction in the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's just my imagination, but I always remember it being very dark in those text adventure games. Most of the time I couldn't really see what was going on...

  3. SB v1 on What (non-PC) Hardware Do You Hack? · · Score: 1

    When all my friends got a brand new Soundblaster Deluxe V.1 (with Dr. Sbaitso!) when they first came out, I had to make do with my little hand-made Parralel port IO jobbie.
    Got the plans off BBS's and was cheap to make. Can't remember the exact name but it was widely supported in games back then and worked perfectly with ScreamTracker!
    Sweet hack...

  4. Re:From what I gather... on What's The Fastest Growing Linux Distro? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yep, clearly you haven't tried Slackware recently. I've tried so many distro's (of which Mandrake used to be my favourite) but they all tend to make it either as easy as possible (Deadrat,Mandrake etc..) or they tell you what you want and how you want it or they give you so much freedom (gentoo) that the endless possiblities might confuse some people or it might not work that well in a non-networked environment. I still believe it's a matter of choice and I will never dis anyone for using a certain distro.We're all GNU brothers after all... But Slackware IMHO really stayed true to what it used to be all about and I still prefer building my system the way I want it and if it takes me a week to get my X and sound to work properly then so be it, but the enjoyment of doing it myself rocks my world.I can understand that people are fond of gentoo. I tried it as well, but with limited access behind the firewall at work it gave me lots of headaches..:-( Slack will probably never be the biggest or fastest growing distro either, but it will always have its followers.

  6. Robots should be robots. on A New Face For Robotics · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know. Maybe it's just me but I like the way robots look. The mechanical movements and crude metal just make them look so cool and they should not try to make robots to imitate humans bt rather make robots to be the best robot for the job it is designed to do. I've always wondered why the robots in terminator had to have metal skulls like humans except for easthetic value. Why would you want to pull a rubber mask over a work of art to try and make it look more acceptable to a human? And someone will probably complain about the colour of the skins on them regardless of what the colour is...

    Anyway, that's one big-ass heatsink. The think is.With a chassis like that , you'll probably end up just spreading the heat through your entire case instead of directing heat away from CPU, HD etc. I don't mind the noise. I'll keep my fans thank you.
