    Actually, Bobby Prince (the guy who did all the music) used to have a huge number of Doom MP3s availabone on his mp3.com homepage, but it looks like most of them got taken down. I still have them stored local though, all 27 of them.

  8. Well of COURSE the demo is going to be dark... on GeForce 3 Demoed - Running DOOM 3 · · Score: 2

    This isn't just a demo of Doom, it's to show off the GeForce3. What better way to make all the dynamic light look the most impressive than to have the levels full of dark areas, shadows, etc...

  9. Re:Origin of "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" on New 'Star Trek' Series Set For Fall · · Score: 2

    No. Zero Wing was an Arcade game in 1989, and then a Sega Genesis game in 1991.

    Ah, sorry about then. I knew it was some old system, and a quick Google search seemed to indicate SNES. My bad.

  10. Origin of "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" on New 'Star Trek' Series Set For Fall · · Score: 4

    It's from the intro sequence of an old SNES game called Zero Wing, where all the english is apparently the result of a horrible mistranslation job.

    You can see an animated gif of the intro sequence here.

    Does Ebay have the word 'auctions' in its name? Does Yahoo use the word 'directory'?

    eBay's original name was AuctionWeb. eBay was the guy's ISP's name, which he bought out when his site became popular.

  14. From ssh 1.2.12 COPYING on SSH Claims Trademark Infringement by OpenSSH · · Score: 5
    This the first paragraph from the COPYING file of ssh 1.2.12, the last "free" version of ssh which OpenSSH is based on.

    This file is part of the ssh software, Copyright (c) 1995 Tatu Ylonen, Finland

    COPYING POLICY AND OTHER LEGAL ISSUES

    As far as I am concerned, the code I have written for this software can be used freely for any purpose. Any derived versions of this software must be clearly marked as such, and if the derived work is incompatible with the protocol description in the RFC file, it must be called by a name other than "ssh" or "Secure Shell".


    I find this interesting. By specifically saying when the terms "ssh" and "Secure Shell" can _not_ be used, it is in effect saying that use of these terms in a derivitive work is acceptable (in fact, what better way to show that OpenSSH is derived from SSH that including SSH in the name?).
    Moreover, this version was released in November 1995, before either term was registered and before December 1995, when SSH Communicatins Corp. was founded.

    I can see him politely asking OpenSSH to change the name, but I can't see that they would be required to do so.
  15. National Computer Camps on Computer Camps For The Summer · · Score: 2

    I volunteered as a counselor at one of the locations of National Computer Camps one summer a nubmer of years ago. The program was pretty good - the kids learn actual languages, from BASIC for the youngest through Pascal and C for the oldest (in fact, we had a few doing work in Assembly). Most students brought their own PCs. After instruction, there was plenty of Doom and games as well.

    The sessions are two weeks each and they have 5 locations in the U.S., mostly in the east (headed in Connecticut).

  21. Re:this makes sense only if downgrading was easier on Debian Testing Tree Goes Online · · Score: 3

    Well, there's a half solution. Switch "testing" for "woody" in your /etc/apt/sources.list and update. This won't downgrade packages to the testing versions but eventually the testing versions will "catch up with" and overtake the woody ones and you'll be getting only testing updates from then on.

    As to what to do with the woody packages you have that are later then the testing versions... well, after you do the above change you could try manually doing "apt-get install " and see what happens. It might do what you want, or it might just say "already have a later version". Never had an instance to try it but it's worth a shot.
