  1. Re:Sierra games anyone!! Quake2 with 3dfx voodoo on The Unsung Heroes of PC Gaming History · · Score: 1

    +1 vote King's Quest, or Quest For Glory (although it came later). I sat down and played through all Q4G games a few years ago. *sigh* the fun

    How exactly do they get them to the US shores?

  4. is no one else worried about servers with extended open connections pushing data to the client without the client asking for it?. Sure its encrypted, but a decent MitM attack leaves the server wide open and the client expecting unwanted data...

  5. Re:Obama might also increase the funds, no? on NASA May Drop Ares I-Y Test Flight · · Score: 1

    Actually you've just enunciated why America is not in her glory days. She can return, it just requires you seppos to stop whinging (about wars, the Government, each other) and bring back that can-do attitute.

    Government now owns a car manufacturer. Stop and think, what could you do with you've very own car manufacturer?

    Personally (spoken from one of your little eager-beaver states)I'd love to see the US back on its feet...

  8. Re:Sure Russia may not be able to afford it on Russia Develops Spaceship With Nuclear Engine · · Score: 1

    funny, i read exactly the same theory from a professional 'think-tanker'. Considering the discrepancy in wealth between the coast and the countryside of China, a revolution is possible...

  9. Complaining Aussies on Obama Looks Down Under For Broadband Plan · · Score: 1

    Its funny reading all these comments from Aussies complaining about Rudd's plan. It reminds me of a time when everyone in WA complained about the cost of rolling out water to a couple of thousand people in the desert. A place called Kalgoorlie, that went on to start our first (gold-based) mineral boom.

    Wouldnt have happened without the Government backing a grossly over-expensive ambitious (and quite frankly absurd) plan...

    Please come back and let us know how that goes.

  14. Re:huh? on Has the Glory Gone Out of Working In IT? · · Score: 1

    It's hard to pay $30000 for a cell-phone. A watch is a man's one allowed piece of expensive jewelery. Whether status symbols actually help is a different question, of course.

    bullshit. diamond encrusted gold plated mobiles arent cheap.

  15. Re:Anonymous Coward on AU Government To Build "Unhackable" Netbooks · · Score: 2, Funny

    A country run by anonymous cowards...

  16. Has anyone thought.. on AU Government To Build "Unhackable" Netbooks · · Score: 1

    Stop and consider that the government doesnt give a hoot about the security on a technical level, as much as the security of the people who are carrying them?

    These things are gonna get stolen from every poorass kid who has to walk home alone. Convincing the people likely to target high-school students for mugging not to, cheaply, thats the objective here.

    And yes, Australian governments are really, really stupid.

  17. Re:There sure are a lot of stories on /. that... on AU Government To Build "Unhackable" Netbooks · · Score: 1

    ... give the impression that Austalia's governors are stupid fucks.

    Australia's states aren't run by their Governors

  21. Re:Spore for education on New York's Video-Game-Based Public School · · Score: 1

    Creationism doesn't compare to evolution in the analogy your making. Evolution is a process that is proven to happen in many different situations,

    Really? Where is your "proof"?

    There is evidence all around us (eg the World) that supports the hypothesis of Evolution, but since Evolution is so slow that it cannot be quantified by people, there is no actual way to prove that it exists. God may well be laughing at us fools for not believing His word.

  22. Re:Corruption and Australia on AU Goverment To Break Up Telstra; Filtering News · · Score: 1

    Really? Corruption?

    On the same scale as saaay, Indonesia, Iraq or China? Get a grip!

    Yes there is chronyism, yes there are retroactive laws (which equal corruption how exactly?)

    We are one of the most transparent democracies in the world, the only reason nobody is ever held to account is because the people vote so predictably. Get out there and change that . And you'll remove the "corruption".

  23. Re:What the? on Alan Turing Apology Campaign Grows · · Score: 1

    You also have to realize there is a fairly sizable percentage of our population who don't know even the basics about science history or history itself. Look at the Jaywalking segments on Jay Leno (a biased sample of course) and poll the people around you. There are plenty of people who don't know what major historical figures like Eisenhower, Truman, the Roosevelts, or even Lincoln really did. I bet not one person that I work with has even heard of Alan Turing or the ENIGMA machine.

    They're called the rest of the world outside of the US.

    You sir, are just as narrow-minded as the people you ridicule. Beckham can do things that you simply cannot; bend a soccer ball.

    A skill is a skill, irrespective of what it is and - unless that skill causes harm to another - it should be applauded. Would you prefer the world was full of the mediocre?

    Sports stars are not remembered because the elitist anti-sports gang rule education and hence the history books...

  25. Re:To what purpose? on Alan Turing Apology Campaign Grows · · Score: 1

    A corporate body cannot take responsibility, only an individual can, and our major moral problem is that we keep deluding ourselves into thinking that "corporate morals" means something. It doesn't.

    Actually, under Western corporate law corporations have the same rights (and hopefully responsibilities) as a person. Go watch Corporation citation cbf
