  1. Re:I viewed source and it crashed Firefox! on The Web Is 16 Today · · Score: 1

    The reason turned out to be because I was running a trunk build, and every page crashed when viewing the source. But it was fun to think that it was this particular page for a while. :-)

  2. I viewed source and it crashed Firefox! on The Web Is 16 Today · · Score: 1

    I guess there are limits for compatibility . . . some of the stuff in there looked pretty experimental.

  3. "I was having fun to suck batteries . . ." on OpenSourcing Yourself, Are You Ready? · · Score: 1

    I liked this bit from the founder's own page: "I was having fun to suck batteries while I was a child! Then I've learned that it's very dangerous and can cause brain damages! I regret that!"

  4. Don't forget to read up . . . on 2006 NetHack Tournament · · Score: 1

    You can find just about every spoiler at Wikihack, along with a whole lot more than you ever needed to know.

  5. But Wikipedia deletes stuff! on Wikipedia and the End of Archeology · · Score: 1

    There are many Wikipedians who love to delete things that they consider non-notable. It is not a universal repository of all knowledge.

  6. There won't be, but there will be specializations on Co-Founder Forks Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Wikia hosts hundreds of wikis on specialist topics. These projects are often controlled by "experts", although it's not explicitly stated that way, and there is not usually an official restriction on editing.

  7. Re:I'm confused. on Judge Rules Sites Can Be Sued Over Design · · Score: 1

    I would guess that they are classified as a private club rather than a public business.

  8. I did an piece on this . . . on Early Testers Say Vista RC1 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    Technically on the previous build, but the problems remained in the following one. ATI did finally release drivers to fix the worst of it. In their press release they say "ATI's latest drivers . . . improve on the leading stability and performance found in previous versions". Now, I will admit they perform better than NVIDIA's, but I don't count failure to resume from suspend as very stable. :-)

  9. Re:It's true, though they're still important edits on Who (Really) Writes Wikipedia · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You can type on a keyboard while wearing a fursuit?!!? I use a mime-to-text converter. :-)

  10. Re:It's true, though they're still important edits on Who (Really) Writes Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    What's so great about being human? ;-)

  11. Re:FUCKING FURRIES on Who (Really) Writes Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Raided . . . and failed to have any significant impact. Happy /b/-day! :-)

  12. It's true, though they're still important edits on Who (Really) Writes Wikipedia · · Score: 2, Informative

    We had a session about it at Wikimania 2006. It confirmed my own experiences as founder of WikiFur. I rarely get the time to make content edits, as "management" issues take priority.

  13. He did the same talk at Wikimania on Lessig Defends Free Culture in Keynote · · Score: 1

    He also used a really funky "one slide per emphasized word" method of presentation that David Weinberger took great pleasure in parodying in his own talk two days later. :-)

  14. Re:Probably should post this as AC... on Congress vs Misleading Meta Tags · · Score: 1

    Not once we get our daily VCL hit!

  15. Forget female gamers, how about developers? on An Editorial Melee About Female Gamers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The lead gameplay developer for the recently-released Galactic Civilizations 2, Cari Begle, is female - she just got interviewed by the Detroit Free Press. Cari's the person everyone goes to when there's a bug needs fixing. Maybe playing games isn't yet a place where you can get fair competition, but developing certainly is.

  16. Still works for me in OE on Hotmail On Your Desktop · · Score: 1

    Still works for me in Outlook Express. Have you tried that?

  17. Re:Well, heck! on Galactic Civilizations II Breaks DRM Mold · · Score: 5, Informative

    GalCiv II is sort of a mix of Civilizations and MOO (2, not 3). The ship designer will make you enjoy building units. :-)

  18. Ironically, they took the links down on request on Galactic Civilizations II Breaks DRM Mold · · Score: 2, Informative

    We asked them nicely to consider not listing our work on their torrent listing site. They did. Score one for politeness.

  19. If you enjoy the work, does it matter? on The Creative Power of Second Life · · Score: 1

    You could view it as recreation time. Only you get paid!

  20. Re:Of course, the furry fandom is all over that on The Creative Power of Second Life · · Score: 1

    Right . . . I was using them as an example of "very good", not "not all". :-)

  21. Re:Creative my ass on The Creative Power of Second Life · · Score: 1

    It verifies the owner of the phone, and assumably they can check the age from the phone company's records. Of course, it's not perfect, but a perfect way would cost far too much.

  22. Re:Creative my ass on The Creative Power of Second Life · · Score: 1

    But the geeky furries are the most dangerous kind - you of all people should know that! ;-)

  23. Of course, the furry fandom is all over that on The Creative Power of Second Life · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Places like The Forest, FurNation Worlds and Luskwood are brimming with user-created stuff. Not all of it is very good, but there's certainly a market for it - or at least a lot of people willing to create stuff in the hope that they can sell it.

  24. Re:How about GalCiv II? on February Game Sales Flop · · Score: 1

    Glad you like it! And no, but I know where he lives. :-) Submit bugs to gc2bugs@stardock.com and they'll be entered into our bug database. Couldn't guarantee a fix, but they'll be considered for future versions of the software - which are fairly likely to exist given the response we've had. Or you could try and catch Brad in the forums or on #galciv on irc.stardock.com, but he's usually fairly busy.

  25. Re:How about GalCiv II? on February Game Sales Flop · · Score: 1

    Depends whether you mean millions of units or millions of dollars. It's already sold 50,000 units in two weeks - before most of the reviews came out. Given the RRP of $40, you do the math. :-)
