Nice concept, but I wouldn't want to use it in a bus or such. It real life it would crave some sort of gyro to detect movement. Imagine a bus rounding a corner and the text compensating by scrolling. At least it would serve as amusement to the fellow busriders.
Man, I'm getting seasick just thinking about it... Back and forth, back and forth:-)
Omega is one of my all time favorites - about 14 years ago I found it at a computer show being liquidated for $10. I should have bought more than one copy:-(
All is not lost - you can still get the game from here: (http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=783) And they have the manual also - which is required to really understand the game.
I have always prefered its specialized programming language over games like C-Robots or such.
I'd love it if someone would re-write it - leaving out the foolishness like the random bulletins that popup...
Cisco has already implemented TKIP - as seen in figure 4.9 here:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/ wi reless/airo_350/accsspts/ap350scg/ap350ch4.htm#680 78
Plus - with Cisco products, if you want LEAP authentication, you now HAVE to use WEP. Before, WEP was optional.
The real problem is the fundamental way in which Wi-Fi works, according to Arbaugh. Although rapid rekeying of WEP keys, for example, which will be implemented in the next security standard called TKIP [Temporal Key Integrity Protocol], makes it more difficult to crack, Arbaugh said the entire design is just not good security.
"You are relying on a confidentiality mechanism, and in general that is considered bad design," he said.
The next generation of security is TKIP and is backward-compatible with current Wi-FI products and upgradeable with software. TKIP is a rapid re-keying protocol that changes the encryption key about every 10,000 packets, according to Dennis Eaton, WECA chairman.

Ok, just for the sake of argument, I'll agree that both EP1 and EP4 are targetted at 13 year old kids.
Now - what does this tell us?
Personally I think it is a sad reflection on the current crop of 13 year old kids compared to the crop in 1977...
I have to agree with this 110% about the books. This is a movie I am COUNTING on being better than the books.
I personally found the books irritating to read when the fellowship split apart and you'd follow one group of people for week,
then go back in time and catch up with the other group...
The orc killing competition between giblet and legolamb got stale very quickly also.
In my opinion a much more fun read would be the DragonLance books by Weis and Hickman, and an even more superior series of books (still in D&D world) would have to be the series of books concerning Drizzt and friends by R.A. Salvatore. Now THAT is character development for both the heroes and villains (Artemis Enteri *shiver*)
Actually, I think "Robot Odyssey 1" also by the "The Learning Company" is closer to Mindrover.
You can find it here: http://www.theunderdogs.org/game.php?id=916
Unfortunately I've never been able to get my copy to run on anything except my original XT.
Rocky's Boots was a good pre-requisite for Robot Odyssey 1.
A game that could be considered an inspiration for Mindrover would be Origin's "Omega".
Unfortunately, like most games empasizing thinking over twitching - it never sold that well.

Early 90s? Hell - Soundblasters were ruling the roost in the late 80s.Sierra originally supported two sound generation devices: Adlib and Roland MT-32.
The Roland was for people with lots of money to spend, the Adlib was for everyone else.
Remember the Adlib? 8bit card with FM synthesis?
It made better music than Creative Lab's predecessor to the Sound Blaster - Sound Master maybe?
It was an AM synthesis card and it sucked.
Early Sound Blasters contained the AM synthesis chips, which were optional on later models
since no one used them anyway.
The sound blaster was basically an Adlib card ripoff - with a single mono digital channel.
The DAC is what made the sound blaster stand out - now you could have REAL sound effects - not corny
effects made out of various FM noises.
Adlib fell behind since they couldn't do digital to analog - and they took WAY too long coming out with the Adlib Gold which could.
By then Sound Blaster was the new standard - the ol' embrace and extend strategy...
Sound Blaster really made people sit up and take notice when Prince of Persia was released - the first game I ever had with REAL sound.

What do these shows have in common?
Star Trek - the 60's version
Planet Of The Apes - Television Series
Space 1999
Quark
Space Rangers
Space Above and Beyond
Babylon 5*
Crusade
7 Days
They all were canceled.
Good Sci-Fi is canceled, drek like Voyager lives on is renewed every season.
The only reason I feel SG-1 has not fallen victim to the curse, is it was NOT originaly on network TV.
I'd bet money that the major networks would have canceled SG-1 since it is too cereberal for their target audiences.
If you want to write a sci-fi show nowadays that will be a big hit on network tv - make it about
a bunch of aliens trapped on an island that wrestle each other to see who gets thrown off.
(Babylong 5 WAS cancled by it's original network and rescued by TNT. Who later determined they'd
rather show wrestling than quality sci-fi and canceled Crusade.)
(yes Quark and Space Rangers were not in the same class as the rest - but they deserve credit for
attempting to meld comedy and sci-fi)
Slashdot Mirror
Ok - bring on the metric system - you have convinced me....
This is a Rerun
Sorry you asked?
Nah,
Next movie we get to see Anakin voted off Jedi Island...
You need one of these: Turbonet ethernet adapters. I bought one as soon as I got my SVR-2000 and have been using it ever since.
I also recommend their harddrive brackets - add another harddrive while you have the case open....
What I find really mind bending is someone mentioning the words "copyright" and "expire" in the same sentence. Never gonna happen.
"Just somehow bring the Borg into an episode. That'll sell it. Oh wait, they're already doing that.... "
Even if this ep bombs, there's still some potential here. (Note: I'll never forgive Voyager for pussifying the Borg.)
Excuse me? I believe ST:TNG did it first, in "I, Borg" from Season V, the Borg were well on their way to being domesticated.
Voyager had more lame episodes than good ones, but don't blame them for screwing up the Borg.
I wonder what ever happened to this project to redo Command HQ

Maybe try introducing them to a good book for the car trips.
Oh that's right - modern kids get someone else to do their reading for them.
Never mind.
So,
To take this a step further:
Bonzi = Hijacker
Hijacker = Terrorist
Bonzi = Terrorist
I hope they are not trying to re-invent the protection racket ;-)

To the term "Monopoly Money"
Oh joy, does this mean the next time I'm browsing Best Buy's web pages, if I linger too long a
window pops up and asks if it can help me?
What do you mean it didn't age very well?
The name of the game wasn't "Robot Battle 1", it was "Robot Odyssey 1".

Instead of dismissing them w/out even having
read any of them - why not try reading one first?
You might *gasp* actually like it.
