  1. Edith on Sim Plague · · Score: 2

    It says they are going to come out (in version 2) with a thing that allows you to program your own extras. My brother has the game and I think I am going to turn one into a SimStripClub. Topless dancers and the like, that way I could bring it up to the standards with EA games. Or maybe... I could make a whore house. By the way does anyone know if you can make lesbian Sims? It could be like free porn.

  2. 2 cards on one board on ATI Radeon 256 · · Score: 1

    If you wanted to get 2 of them working together would you also need to AGP slots? Or is it possible to have 1 PCI and 1 AGP?

  3. I hope I got first Post(Script) on Httpd Written In Postscript? Shell? · · Score: 1

    Hey, I am looking for any one that will help me write a webserver for my TI86 calculator. I can only hope.

  4. Sounds interesting on eBay For Patents? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like an interesting idea. How would the come get paid, comission? I wonder if it will catch on. And if it does I will buy stock (remember what happened to ebays stock).

  5. I wouldn't mind. on Verant Backs Down On Drive-Scanning · · Score: 1

    I don't think it would be that be big of a deal. I mean they only look for certain programs, everything else they just ignore. Also, they don't upload anything unless it is supicious. AOL on the other end will scan your hard drive upload porno and MP3s and post it on their secret sight to resell. Just in case you wondered I am typing this from my new Netscape 6, bugs and all.

  6. about time on US to Give Web Patents More Scrutiny · · Score: 1

    I think it is about time the people shaped up and didn't just give any little thing a patent. Also if you want to see a funny comic strip about Amazon patents go here: Userfriendly.

  7. it doesn't work on GNUTella Search Tool · · Score: 1

    Whenever I try to search using the interface to search for something it always comes up with this error:

    Could not connect to 192.168.100.100:22674
    (113) No route to host

    What should I do? Is it me or the host at the other end?
    Thanks

  8. Re:ExistenZ on Oscar Wrapup (American Beauty and The Matrix win) · · Score: 1

    I have seen it but I didn't think it was AS good. It had a really good plot and made me keeping changing my mind on who was evil. Also if you didn't like it just Blame Canada, because that is where it came from.

  9. some surprises on Oscar Wrapup (American Beauty and The Matrix win) · · Score: 3

    I thought when I first saw Episode 1 I would have sworn that it would win best costume (or at least one oscar). I think the Matrix deserved all the oscars it got, and I think it should have been a nominee for best picture. Oh well. Also, all the awards that American Beauty won makes me want to go out and watch the movie. Did you know that it took the screenplay person 50 rewrites of the script to get it right. True.

    Who mourns for Q? I do, he was a great actor and it was sad to see him go. (car accident)

  10. Re:Technology enhancing not competing with us on Spiritual Robots Symposium · · Score: 1

    Currently neural cells do not divide. Once they die, they die. They are not replaced.

    Actually in a recent issue of Popular Science they did a test on the brain and they did find evidence of brain cells regrowing.

  11. computers take over humans April 1 on Spiritual Robots Symposium · · Score: 1

    Is this a coincidence that it occurs on April 1st? It sounds like to me that this will be an joke. Computers become more intellectual spiritial than humans? Hopefully not in my life time. Oh well if it comes, it comes.

  12. Re:What is Daikatana on Daikatana - Delayed Again? · · Score: 2

    Daikatana is a game that was supposed to come out earlier and kick Quake 2s but. A switch from the unreal engine to the quake engine, and a couple of E3s later it is still in development.

  13. obsolete on Daikatana - Delayed Again? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the game will be obsolete before they even have a screen shot. If this games takes much longer I think people might lose interest. This game's release date sounds a lot like Duke Nukem Forever (named after how long it takes for it to come out).

  14. I don't think it is bad that they put it out. on ACLU Joins Fray Over Cyber Patrol Censorware · · Score: 1

    If you have a program with more than 68% errors on blocking sites I think that should be allowed. Also just blocking things on text like Super Bowl XXX is bad. I mean some sites might have that (Super Bowl XXX) and than again there may be some sites that have different names (whitehouse.com) that don't sound pornographic. This key word blocking is bad. If they block whitehouse you can't get to whitehouse.gov. Also in the school were I go, when I, or the guy I TA for, see someone missing using the school system (porn) via the proxy server we get on the case. We track them down as best we can using there IP address. I think trusting studeents is better than using this program.

  15. Re:IBM has done it again on IBM Creates New Fastest Beowulf Cluster · · Score: 1

    Just in case you didn't get what I was implying that friend was me and I just didn't want to look like an idiot. By the way thanks for the link.

  16. Replay vs Tivo on CmdrTaco's Week with Tivo · · Score: 1

    ReplayTV has 20 hours of recording time, has low power mode, updates the software automatically, costs $499, and looks better to me.

  17. How does it compare to RepllayTV? on CmdrTaco's Week with Tivo · · Score: 1

    If anyone has this can you tell me how it compares to ReplayTV. From what I can tell Tivo is more popular but I don't think ReplayTV needs a subscription, I could be wrong. If you have any information for me you can e-mail me here.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  18. IBM has done it again on IBM Creates New Fastest Beowulf Cluster · · Score: 1

    Well isn't IBM a wealth of cool new things. Sounds like it will be a cool computer(s?). Also if you want to see a computer that can go to 1 teraflop, click here. Ehh ehh, sorry the computer is making me horny. Also I know a guy who knows a guy that wants to know what a Beowulf cluster is. I can't explain it very well so could you tell me what to say. (that sounds authentic, right?)
    Oh well, Have a nice day all,
    Andrew

  19. sounds like a cover up on Cracking Military Devices · · Score: 5

    Sounds like the military wants to be able to blame someone when they attack unprovoked.

    Taiwan: Why did you attack us!!!
    US: Wasn't us, someone must have hacked into our computers and done it.

    Later that day

    US: *snicker* fools

  20. filthy bastards on DeCSS To Be Broadcast Over Oz TV · · Score: 0

    I think the deCSS thing should be stopped. The people had no right to decode it and spread around copyrighted information.

  21. streaming DVD movies, baby on Bell Labs Achieves 3.28Tbps Over Fiber · · Score: 1

    With that kind of bandwidth you could get streaming media the quality of DVDs. Also you could trade other copyrighted material as fast as your hard drive can pump it out. I think the advantages (speed) outweigh the disadvantages (piracy). The speed could be an advantage though, imagine having movie rental stores online that streamed the movie to you.

  22. errrr on King's New eBook · · Score: 0

    I sent this in a few days ago and is was declined as a story!!!!

  23. i thought it was good on Review: "Mission To Mars" · · Score: 1

    It wasn't all that bad of a plot. I did notice the advertisements also, but tell me one movie that doesn't have advertisements these days. Some parts weren't that believable though. Even a very tiny hole in the space craft would make it decompress almost instantly. Over all I thought it was good.

    PS What do you guys mean about the problems with momentum. When was that?

  24. i agree on Cookie Bill Would Protect Privacy · · Score: 1

    I agree that this is a dumb idea. People can just disable cookies like said earlier. Also people use cookies to improve there websites content for each person and to see which places need improvement. If I am not mistaken only the cookie that the site made itself would be sent to the server not all of them. This means that they only would now what they themselves posted. Over all cookies have more advantages than disadvantages.

  25. next titanic? on Review: On "The Beach" · · Score: 1

    This movie looks like it a girls movie. Leo running around without a shirt on and swimming and stuff like that. I wouldn't mind seeing it on rental though. I a mnot sure about the story plot but this movie will sell.
