  1. Re:Impressive and Glitchy on Neuros Review · · Score: 1

    Well, see, e.g., NASA.

  2. Identity Theft on The Story of the tech.net.ru Crackers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Take mine,...please.

    (don't mind the outstanding student loans)

  3. Re:Sunglasses on 2003 Transit of Mercury · · Score: 1

    Just go out to any tree-lined street and look at the sidewalk. The spaces between the leaves create myriad pinhole-camera effects and the ground is dappled with dancing images of the eclipse, reversed. This doesn't work for lunar eclipses, tho....

  4. Does it have to be FREE? on What (And Where) Are The Classic Free Games? · · Score: 1

    Idunno, the atari (Hasbro) rereleases are about $7.00 each and you can get, eg, in "Arcade Hits 1" Centipede and Tempest (and some other games) with the trackball games reconfigured for a mouse (a latency built in to compensate for the weight of the arcade ball). There's not a lot of room for a mouse in a plane, but these games are worth it for when you land. Asteroids works with the keyboard, though one can only play it for so long (unless it's 1982 and you're a high school student). I never use the MAME versions of these games now; the bells and whistles are worth the price, though I guess I could have bought a burrito instead.

  5. Re:the whole topic on Home-Built vs. Store-Bought PCs · · Score: 1

    And I think to myself, how else does one think?

  6. the whole topic on Home-Built vs. Store-Bought PCs · · Score: 1

    I first though this was high silliness. Ask a bunch of geeks about the computers they've recently built.

    "And then I got this killer chassis with burnished chrome detailing, and I can't believe how cheap DDR RAM has become in the last couple of months. Time used to be..."etc.

    I thought to myself, "Trolling for volume...and they posted it! - incredible."

    But, then, you know, I actually had never heard of newegg (here I am in the sticks). Have you seen the chassis they have? And their prices!

  7. DOOM! on How Doom got its Name (from John Carmack interview) · · Score: 1

    there is a chainsaw in q3a.
