  1. X Pilot on Trying Your Hand at Level Design? · · Score: 1

    X Pilot doesn't really come with a level editor but I think with a little searching you could find a utility to make changes to the map files. Once you can find something to do that you're able to go hog wild with your level designs...

  2. Clemson on-campus apartments on Need... More... Power... · · Score: 1

    Our 4 person, 2 bedroom apartment is barely larger than three dorm rooms but it's new and therefor the power outlets were not spared at all.

    Living room / kitchen: 16 power outlets, 2 tv jacks, 2 network connections, and 12 phone jacks.

    Each bedroom: 8 power outlets, 2 tv jacks, 2 network connections, and 4 phone jacks.

    Having 36 power outlets (4 in bathroom) and 12 phone lines at our disposal is really nice. Having only 6 network connections with all those wall plugs makes it a sin.

    So just legalize marijuana and you can fit linux into your analogy...

    - the best crops are created through a community effort in cross breeding
    - the only thing you'll have to actually pay for are the initial seeds (think CD's)
    - works well in server environments (bong) as well as desktop (hash pipe) and portable (joint) implementations
    - companies will initially be leery of this but inevitably everyone's going to have to wonder what this "linux" thing is that's becoming so popular
    - a sense of kinship is felt among users (read: Free Love)

    Perhaps /. being found at slashdot.osdn.org would be a step in the right direction?

  5. Re:Potential problem on Homebrewed In-Dash CD-ROM Player · · Score: 1

    Hang it from springs. Somehow break it apart and insert some springs so that the laser is isolated from the body of your car. I did this once with one of the very first portable CD players except it hung on 4" springs under the passenger seat.

    Another trick: if you are dash mounting it you could pack condoms filled with either Jello or corn syrup under, above, and beside it. This worked in my dad's van for a phonograph using water ballons filled with silicone gel, they lasted a good 4 years.
