  1. Re:PS2 : GTA3 on Good Games For Christmas? · · Score: 1
    - Steal a cab, deliver fares, and then shoot them (in GTA3, of course)!

    Or even better: Pick up a hooker, do your business, and then shoot her. When people see me beat up a hooker, they're always like, "Hey, this game is really violent." But then I tell them, "Hey, it just lets you do whatever you want to do. If you want to be violent, it lets you do that, but if you want to go around saving people in the ambulance or putting out fires, you can do that too!" I just think it's really great how much freedom you have in the game. Fun fun!

    There is one "flying" vehicle, if you can call it that. It is a plane with the wings torn off, so you can only "fly" it for a very short period of time. I think the record is something like 23 seconds.

    One thing I have heard is that you can "fly" the tank. :) I haven't had the chance to try this yet, but you can supposedly turn the turret around to face the back and the recoil will propel you faster and faster until you take off.

    So, I guess you can take off in some vehicles, but fly, not really.

  3. PS2 : GTA3 on Good Games For Christmas? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I know it's mentioned in the story, but Grand Theft Auto 3 is just awesome. You get complete freedom to do whatever your sick twisted mind can think of. Plus the story is pretty non-linear, and the side missions are plentiful.

  4. Re:This seems a little bizarre. on The Commercialization Of the Internet · · Score: 2, Funny
    But we can tell - the total is 50.4%, so subtracting out AOL, MS and Yahoo we get a titanic 3.4% for number four, whoever it is.

    According to the Jupiter Media Metrix site, the 4th place spot goes to none other than X10.com. Doesn't surprise me since just about every other site has a stupid pop-under from them.

  5. Re:30 milliseconds? on Scramjet Test Successful · · Score: 1
    Too bad there aren't any accompanying pictures, but with a flight time of less than a second, I guess they'd be hard to get.

    There is a picture and even a movie.

  6. Airplane simile on IPv4 vs IPv6: The Road Ahead · · Score: 1

    From the article:

    "Replacing all hardware and software at once is akin to rebuilding an airplane while flying."

    Seems to me like changing to v6 is more like refueling than rebuilding. Just changing the software (on most machines, granted some hardware would have to be changed) shouldn't be as difficult as everyone who uses the internet having to go out and buy new hardware.

    It's a japanese project to build an IPv6 stack for BSD.

  8. Re:OK ! SlashDotting Contest ! on Stopping The 56K Hate · · Score: 1

    If you look at the web server stats most of the people who hit the site are using winblows. Is the evil empire forced down the throats of the hoards from slashdot by their employers?

    And some poor sap is still running windows 3.1.

    The latest Mozilla build also has something similair to this. It will automagically fill in your info on order forms and such (such as name, address, email address, ...) You can also put in your SS#, credit card number, exp date and such. I'm not sure exactly how mozilla stores this info.
