But... it means I have to go back to using windows. Bleah:)
Great Game. Some annoyances.

Not played it myself, but my roomie thinks its a great game. One downside, and its a very annoying one, is that you need to micromanage, and there's no way of setting up 'macros' to respond to condition changes in the game. Ie, you're in for a LOT Of button clicking.
I had the same issue with Transport Tycoon all those years ago. Fantastic Game, great cheezy jazz music... the one really annoying downside is that you need to MANUALLY return your vehicles to depot and replace them when they get old and tired. Lots of clicking, especially if you play well beyond the intended length in the game:)
It seems very appropriate, perhaps spooky, that the 'fortune' quote at the bottom of the slashdot page is: "You cannot achieve the impossible without attempting the absurd."
Wow... this story's a whole FOUR hours old, and there's only been 50 or so comments on it? Could this possibly be the least commented-on story in Slashdot's history?
If I didn't know any better, I'd think that there was something else on most people's minds!:)
Am I the only one that has a 'interesting' problem with the archive file? At around 29:30, right after a station advertisement, it cuts to almost silence... just a touch of noise. At around 30:10 there's a brief moment of softly played guitar music, and then silence again.
Pick a day of the year. Perhaps your birthday. On that day of the year, you submit the aformentioned Simpson's site to Slashdot, and lets see how long the editor's memory lasts before they consider this 'news' and include it in Slashdot.
Because the current RedHat offering, RHEL, is a BUSINESS application, and in business the mantra "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies VERY strongly.
Oh cool... so... let's extend that to music or other copyright material...
"Why is it that copyright holders don't like a third party to distribute their music. They're getting free publicity, it's no cost to them, and it makes your product more useful, for dog's sake!"
FFFish overcomplicated the matter by using the word 'wavelengths'. Trademarking colours has nothing to do with wavelengths of light.
Remember... there are an infinite number of ways of representing yellow. One way is to have a pure yellow light source. The other way is to have one red light source, one green, that excite the red and green receptors in our eyes with the same ratio that the yellow light source does.
Thus, a COLOUR is trademarked, not an arrangement of wavelengths of light.
(Yes, this means that someone who is tetrachromatic will be able to see more colours, since they have 4 distinguishing wavelength receptors rather than the standard 3, and thus will have lengthy arguments about whether or not two particular samples have the same colour)
Sorry, that's not true. The 2.4GHz spectrum is UNLICENSED, not UNREGULATED. The FCC has specifically granted the use of that spectrum to bodies that meet certain criteria, but beyond that no one person 'owns' it.

Gorddammit... I wasted an ENTIRE weekend on this game... I hate you guys!
:)
(Just kidding, but I DID spend the entire weekend playing
Got, and playing... thanks guys!
:)
And the AI is as stupid as ever!
They're not black.... they're just not very bright. ;)
Gah... I stand corrected, There ARE OS/X binaries available, I just need the Windows datafiles. (WHich i don't have... I had the DOS version)
Ooo... ooo... you're getting me all keen again :)
:)
But... it means I have to go back to using windows. Bleah

Silence continues until about 32:00
Cool! The first part of Animusic has come alive... Now if they can only duplicate the ball-shooting music machine, I'd be in heaven.
Brief: Animusic is a bunch of animated music clips, where the animation is controlled by a MIDI file. Some great animation, and great music, in there.
I don't think "must see" means what you think it means. :)
Okay... its cool... but "must see"? I don't think so.
Here's a new slasdot game for everyone...

If you want 2.6, just use Fedora instead.
And... you say all of that, but you have a link to an iPod Pyramid Scheme in your .sig?
Oh cool... so... let's extend that to music or other copyright material...

He forgot the most important one:

You probably didn't read the instruction manual very well (or perhaps there wasn't one to read).
Rule for recharging alkalines: Recharge early. Recharge often.
Alkalines won't recharge very well at all if you drain them completely.
Nice map, but that's got nothing on the VTA System Map.
He said it was a scheduler. He didn't say it was a good scheduler :)
Ah, you're confusing THTTPD (threaded hyper text transport protocol daemon) with THPTT (threaded high pustulence tongue transport) :)
