  2. Re:What license is it released under? on Freeware FPS Alien Arena 2007 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    The original Id GPL notice is in the svn for the game engine, just as it should be.

  3. Re:our brains aren't wired to think in parallel on Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? · · Score: 1

    Not at all, programs need to be written in parallel to be able to take advantage of systems like the Mosixes. Even then in order for them to be migratable they have to take into consideration things like the impracticality of using shared memory and bottlenecks like interconnect latency. The idea is far from perfect but is making strides.

  4. Re:Games Worse Than Drugs!?!?!? on Gamers Divorced From Reality? · · Score: 1

    What? I knock over places all the time to support my digital habits, right now trying to save up for my 1.21 Jigawatt Power Supply. Sell ya a DVD player for $20? I got a variety of them.

  5. wow on War of the Worlds by the Star Trek Cast · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's cold man, they operate on the funding of listeners, and so you 'save' them from a slashdotting during a fund drive.

  6. AH HA!!! on Google Plans To Destroy Unindexed Information · · Score: 2, Funny

    I KNEW THEY WERE EVIL!!!!!!

  7. Seen it on Your Homework is Play Video Games · · Score: 1

    They tried this at a district in the Pittsburgh area. They got a grant to use the students as rats, and gave every student in the test grade a PS1 (Before the PS2 came out) and the in school ciriculum was designed around the educational games provided with it. The program was an absolute failure. Now the school district has several thousand PS1s in nice leather cases sitting in various bins throughout the basements of the schools. The kids mostly took them home and then just rented/bought games for them. The district is now holding onto them waiting for them to be completly worthless before they put them up for auction.

  8. not all on Why Do We Have to Use a Floppy to Flash BIOS? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I use giga-byte boards, which allow me to flash from windows with @Bios or something along those lines

  9. Re:SOE on Matrix Online Sold To SOE? · · Score: 1

    I was thinking I could try it out, but after the mess SOE made of SWG After the Curb Job, i'm staying the hell away

  11. Re:A better link for the punishment thing... on Feds Shut Down Elite Torrents · · Score: 1

    Yea, but according to the article he was selling the stuff he downloaded. I think that him selling it was what made them really look at him, and not just being another one of the millions of faceless downloaders

  12. Nah on MPAA Blames BitTorrent for Star Wars Distribution · · Score: 1

    Nah, what dims the magic for me is the bastard behind me who downloaded it off of BitTorrent who wouldn't STFU with the telling his friend what was about to happen.

  13. Funny Pictures on SWG Players - Comment on the Combat Upgrade · · Score: 1
    Sonys new Spokesperson

    How the new combat system plays

    Just another picture of random protest



    Sony claims that these protests disrupt server activity, but people run Player Events which draw ~200 people into one town and sony doesn't say a word, Hell, if they find out about it they send people to HELP, but when 100 people show up in a place that is DESIGNED to be a high capacity area like theed or CNet to complain about sony completly ignoring and in places silencing the player base, they start Suspending accounts, warping people to nasty places, and other fun "Punishments"

  14. Fun for the Whole Family on Electronics Projects for 12-Year-Olds? · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can have him build a Cyclotron

  15. I hate myself inside for this sorta on Warezed SoundForge Files In Windows Media Player · · Score: 1

    I hate to defend them, but I remember seeing something a while ago that microsoft contracted out for certian audio needs. If this was the case with these sounds it's not acctually them who nicked the software but what ever person who they paid to produce the sounds.

  16. It's You on Do You Go Out to the Movies or Wait for the DVD? · · Score: 1

    For you, Maybe, I don't know of any theaters in Pittsburgh that I'd have to pay for parking at. If it's really $8, take a bus, it's cheaper (here at least). Secnod, Ticket Prices here are still around $9. I can Imagine that there are places that you would need to pay for parking in, maybe a theater inside a city, but I find it hard to belive $12 tickets, I can get the premium tickets with the leather seats and stuff for $12 at loews. Third, I always have someone with me with a big purse, and we just bring our own low noise food (gallon ziplock of popcorn with REAL Butter, not that fake crap, a few cups, a 2 liter or two of dew). Try a different theater or something (Less You don't have many options).

    Or, you could just hook a computer up to that home theater setup you got and steal it.

  17. Re:and in addition on Internet Accessible Home Security Systems? · · Score: 1

    Yea, it would be like a 'Wet Floor' sign in a hallway, if it's visible and noticable, there not responsible if you decided to walk accross it.

  18. and in addition on Internet Accessible Home Security Systems? · · Score: 2, Funny

    go to home depot, lowes, what ever, get a bunch of peices of wood, and a shitload of nails. put the nails through the wood and make spike boards and put them under your ground level accessable windows, so that if they break in though a window, you'll fuck them up and slow them down abit if they try to make off with anything.

  19. eh on How To Avoid Viruses At Windows Install Time? · · Score: 1

    Burn a CD with the latest norton defs, windows service pack 1, all those little updates for the trojans, and a firewall (I personally like Kerio Personal Firewall), and install that before you even put the network cable back in.

  20. Re:Aha! So _that's_ where... on Free Optimizing C++ Compiler from Microsoft · · Score: 1
  21. Re:It's not that surprising . . . on Netsky Worm Variant Attacks P2P Services · · Score: 1

    No man, with norton, your just paying to have it done automatically. Definitions are avalible on their website. My liveupdate, all though the subscription is good, doesn't work for some reason, so I'm forced to check their site every other day or so. I'm not acctually paying for it (Uni thing) though, so I don't really care, just do it when I go looking at any of the web comics I read. But that $30 a year is only so you can forget about it and let it do it's own thing.

  22. Fixxing the sex part on Why Do Other Geeks Leave the House? · · Score: 1
