  1. Publisher vs. Developer on Star Trek Legacy Review · · Score: 1

    The game was developed by Mad Doc Software and published by Bethesda Softworks according to MobyGames. (The review has the roles reversed as of this posting.)

  2. "A new sound" on The Sound of Safety? · · Score: 1

    Static. That's what I've always called it. Static. White Noise. Broadband sound. Whatever. It sounds like radio static. You can't help but turn towards it because it anoys the fsck out of you.

  3. correction on No X Box for Xmas? · · Score: 1

    CPU is a 733Mhz PIII, and there is no "texture memory" - the 64Mb is for all video, sound and system needs. Hardware specs

  4. And they wait 'till now to bring this up... on NCR Claims Palm Infringes As "Personal Terminal" · · Score: 4

    They (NCR) didn't give a crap about their patent until they realized they could possibly grift Handspring and Palm. I can just see the meeting that inspired this lawsuit (it probably involved some suit jotting a note on his PalmIII and saying "hey, wait a second guys!" NCR's really pushing it here.

  5. I don't get it... on U.S. Significantly Lowers Export Limitations · · Score: 2

    What's the point of export restrictions now? Saddam Hussein already has all of the Playstation2's. All we can do now is sit back and wait for doomsday...

  6. Real Shame on Webcasters Have To Pay · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many small radio stations are going to have to stop net-casting all together if new fees are imposed.

  7. well... on Alpha Station: Grumps In Space · · Score: 2
    Stick me many miles above the earth's surface in a (relativly) small vessel and you'd be shocked by what came out of my mouth at the most minor annoyance.

    These people are under pressures that nobody still on earth can feel. They're going to do whatever makes them more comfortable while doing what they need to do. Who can blame them?

  8. Excellent! on Dreamcast Runs Linux · · Score: 4

    Now I can run Quake III on my Dreamcast!

    oh, wait...

  9. Re:Proof of concept: Disquieting, of questionable on Sony Releases Walking Humanoid Robot · · Score: 1

    ROBODEX 2000, the world's first exhibition of "Robots as Partner"

    The freakin' Japanese are sick.

  10. Not to worry... on Cheap, Paper RF ID Tags To Replace Barcodes? · · Score: 1
    (Just imagine embedding these tags in your clothes.)

    Just wear aluminum clothing. Privacy concern solved.

  11. Domain names a form of free speech? on Guinness Beer Really Sucks · · Score: 1

    If a good lawyer out there could make a firm case that you can actually _say_ somthing with your domain name then you'd have first amendment protection in the states. And WIPO could probably be sued up the ass for infringing upon that right (over and over again). Just a though.

  12. Why not? on Mir Lives · · Score: 1

    It might be worth keeping up there just to study that freaky fungus. I personally am not buying a ticket to MIR until they have that whole space organism thing figured out.

  13. Having been there... on How Do Companies Pay for "On-Call" Support? · · Score: 2

    While working in the IT dept. of a small regional hospital we were on the same call-time arrangement as the nursing staff. You got normal time if you were called in, and a small amount for having to be on-call. The best part was it was a pretty easy sell to the CFO.
