You have got to be kidding me. this is the creme de la creme of flash? It's just scaling polygons of a half-decent artist, not a pivotal moment of mankind's evolution. Please, Flash, die.
In addition, a person with the same name owns a website called 321gone.com. It doesn't entirely appear to be the same person, although I was halfway through writing an email to altavista indicated that they were the same and that 321gone.com is ran by a fraud.
Anyways, if anyone else wants to send an email off to altavista, who reviewed 321gone. here's what I started with.
Hi, you reviewed the site 321gone.com . If the owner is the same Philip Ferreira who has been more or less revealed as a fraud by the readers of the bizarre discussion group Slashdot. See

PPS 'lameness filter'? I was unaware that one single line of dashes was lame. wtf... ah well, at least it didn't get posted as an unintelligible run-on paragraph.
Cool! I wish I hadn't used up my mod points, because you've just roasted one total loser. I hope there's some way that epinions' lawyers can eat you alive, Ferreira.
Not to mention that it's impossible to use without reading the manual, doesn't install itself in a standard way (folder shortcut instead of a pullout folder in my start menu? How professional...)), has absolutely useless web pages for when you fail. Oh did I mention that search doesn't work?
Shit, shit shit. That's all it is. Without an interface that isn't shit, they don't have a chance.

C isn't strict and anal, it just doesn't let you modify the language on the fly. Which puts it in exactly the same league as Perl. C is astoundingly elegant, and a good introduction to the One True Language (Assembly)
As to perl. Any language that lets you have lingering, 'we don't give a **** where this goes' pointers deserves to die. ($_ is a travesty on mankind)
Go ahead, throw your vote.:)
You Americans are in a rough spot. But hey, the Canadian government fully supports violent riot suppresion, so what can I say, we suck too.
Not true. When I had a, I thought. 8088-a 286 sure would be cool 386-40, damn I wish I had a 486-66 486-100, windows 95 is a little clunky with 8 megs, doh. P233-MMX, OH FUCKING YEAH, I'll never need a faster processor C-300,I'm happy as a clam. (C-300 is where I am right now, btw. Don't need more for a looooong while. The incentive just doesn't exist.)
It's interesting how when someone posts an article that makes another country look like it's less 'civilized' than the United States, it gets moderated up, but when someone posts an article that makes another country look more civilized, it doesn't get touched.
If we're going to play 'first atmospheric game' then Dungeons of Daggorath it is. TRS-80. Something like 16k (or less). Very cool. Too bad I haven't found the ROM for it yet.
PS, to stay on topic, there was no real plot. Just like Myst. How Myst became so popular is still a mystery to me.
Depends on your definition of signal to noise. I've only been able to glimpse the internet since 1992 (but not interactively). All the newsgroups (usegroups?) I read didn't seem to have any noise...
And let's not forget December 10th, 1993. The ftp server wasn't hosed when I downloaded the greatest game ever (I know this isn't relevant, but it was version.99, a fact that seems to have been lost on EVERYONE, including official FAQs. But I digress) Would you be able to download a game demo today from exactly one server without a feeding frenzy killing your download speed?
Erm. I've made exactly one submission (admittedly, to ask slashdot). It got accepted. Maybe it's not slashdot that's at fault. 400 submissions is excessive.
I read this, and it sounds like a dream come true, but A) I didn't/don't know enough about BIOS in general and the BIOS in my computer in particular to say if this is the solution for me. B) It's not done yet!
I just had what I think is a REALLY good idea, with the only downside being bandwidth. Every once in awhile, your gnutella server grabs one of the searches going through your computer (with limits as to size, ie it must be at least 3 characters or something like that), searches OTHER computers with that random string, and then downloads one of the results, again completely at random. Voila, the human motives component is obfuscated.
I believe you should get a clue, and I wish you hadn't posted as an AC, as the irony would have you hiding your tail and never posting again.
Metallica, yes I mean *that* Metallica, contracted to have the entire Load album on the radio through some large radio promotion company, when it was first released, in order to increase interest in purchasers. Complete with interviews with the band. No, I am not kidding.

Because they have a limited monopoly on that movie.
Well, I'm sure you'll be fine if Chris is your real name, and not vulture feed, if your name was actually Philip. So relax!

No, it's bravely attempting to function under the load. Actually, not just attempting, but succeeding.
sorry, write-only languages aren't where it's at. grow up, logo boy.

What? That's a terrible idea! The stupid should not be protected from the law.
nice try, but urban legen' don' breed in these parts.
Brutal... your statement does not even approach humour.
I cannot believe that people would waste their time on something as inconsequential as forum2000. Pathetic.
