You can use any soda, from what I understand, but diet sodas don't get as sticky. This is probably due to there not being any sugar or high-fructose corn syrup in diet as opposed to high amounts in regular soda.
I think it speaks volumes about the quality of AMD products if you consider the fact that they don't have catchy or annoying commercials on TV and they still manage to get 20% market share.
I downloaded Dystopia around the hour it came out, and jumped into a server as soon as one with an empty slot became available. While it doesn't have a unique concept, it's a fairly decent mod, so far.
Releasing this as a demo may have been a mistake for the team, since there are a bit of "known issues" that cause the game to crash, or just slightly inconvenience people. In the day or so I've had it, the mod has crashed no less than eight times. Perhaps they should have called it a "public beta" instead. Another interesting issue I had come across was a server on which the doors on the level had more kills than the players.
Teamplay, like on most internet games, is hit or miss. When you've got a good team that's working together, it's awesome. When you have a bunch of idiots that are doing things like monopolizing the hack points without knowing what they're doing, it's infuriating.
The following forum post on their site, here, gives me an uneasy feeling. I don't think the game merits a retail release, and fear if they license the Source engine it will be doomed to failure instead of being an enjoyable mod for anyone to enjoy. Most people I've talked to on servers do not forsee Dystopia being worth buying if it is not released as a free modification.
Is Dystopia good? Yes. Can it be a lot of fun? Most certainly. But it has its problems which I hope can be hammered out between now and its "real" release.
You can still play Tradewars 2002 online, which I was pleasantly surprised to find out about a year and a half ago. The downside to this was that I found myself spending a lot more of my free time playing, not to mention the game has changed since then.
The basic mechanics remain the same, but sysops can now open games that allow for unlimited turns, unlimited time limits, etc.
http://www.twgs.org/ is a good place to find currently running games (you can telnet into the server with any telnet client). http://www.eisonline.com/ is the home of the new TW2002 and also has user forums.
At least these days I'm not running up a $100 phone bill over 9600 baud modems to play.
Sure, and go running with a hard drive mp3 player versus a solid state player and see which one performs better.
Hell, I was going to buy a Rio Karma until I did some research and it turns out jogging can lock the hard drive. I wouldn't be surprised if the same held true with the iPod.
I liked beta 5 much more than this final version. My main problem is that I generally play as a Frontiersman, and the Kharaa cloaking is insane under the new ruleset.
Fractional visibility at top speed for aliens? No uncloaking unless you attack? On some maps it's nearly impossible to pick out the skulks running across the floor towards you to bite your face off before he succeeds splendidly at it.
I understand that Sensory Chambers were useless to drop first, but I think in their attempt to make them more useful, they perhaps made them too useful.
Hope you have Motion Tracking and low latency, you're going to need it.
I'd just like to say I love how the media and some police organizations would have you believe that the expiry of this ban allows "machine guns" to fall into civillian hands.
The basic fact is that machine guns in general for civillian use were first banned in 1934. In the mid 1980's (I think 1984), another law was passed limiting legal sale of machine guns to civillians with the proper clearances to pre-law dates.
Therefore, not only is the general populace barred from purchasing a machine gun unless subjected to FBI background checks and other measures, anyone who gains such permission is only allowed to purchase one built before 1984.
I don't know about anyone else, but when I viewed slashdot through the cache, my login was no longer in effect.
If this is a consistent problem across the board for page caching, I can't see it being useful for sites that use logins. And I'll be damned if I'm going to use the login link in the cached page.
I've been on MUDs since around 1997 and experimented with a few different Windows and *nix clients, and the only thing I use anymore is tintin++ on *nix or wintin95 on any wintendo boxes I may be using at the time. They're very low on the "bells and whistles", as the windows port is basically the terminal version with a simple interface added, and the *nix version is meant for use in terminal windows. They're not low on features, as you can easily add triggers, variables, aliases, and such.
I've started an online petition located here urging the government not to persue this line of thought any further. Please sign it and pass it along to any of your friends

You're right, it's not a loss of property.
It's theft of services, in most jurisdictions.
If Quake Remix wants some help, perhaps they should code their page in such a way where the text is READABLE.
I'll make a game for the OP and the rest of you instant gratification people.
It'll be perfect for you!
When you start the game, it immediately rolls the end credits and says "OMG YOU WIN!!11!1oneone"
No work involved at all, another game beaten in record time!

I guess I managed to fetch the page before the slashdotting really took effect. Now I can't get to any of the links.
Too bad, I really wanted to telnet into the machine to play Adventure.
