  1. Re:Best Quote hidden on Hall Of Technical Documentation Weirdness · · Score: 1

    This has been on rinkworks for years. Check out the site for more funny stuff.

  2. Re:I hope his was misquoted on Carmack on New id Game, Game Theory · · Score: 1

    And I mean yes, AD&D and others all have books. They're table top RPGs. Why should I need a manual for an electronic RPG? The computer is the DM, and not knowing how powerful an enemy is and its vital stats are half the challenge in computer RPGs.

  3. Re:Ikaruga IS humanly possible to beat. on Carmack on New id Game, Game Theory · · Score: 1

    Wow! I need to see this. How can I get a DVD? Or maybe a little ripping is possible?

  4. Re:I hope his was misquoted on Carmack on New id Game, Game Theory · · Score: 1

    You misunderstand. He was talking about *computer* RPGs, such as Diablo or Everquest.

  5. Re:platform games and scrolling shooters on Carmack on New id Game, Game Theory · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you haven't played Ikaruga for the Cube Or Dreamcast you should really try it out. Great game, but I doubt it's humanly possible to beat.

  6. Re:Teletype printouts on Wiring A Vintage Teletype To The Internet · · Score: 1

    Heh. Or you could figure out a way to connect it to a TV screen. And if you could figure out how to hook up a typewriter electronically, you could send out your own alerts to the Internet. I think we're on to something here.

  7. Re:Gimme my AIM-CQ on FCC Lifts AOL IM Limits · · Score: 1

    And miranda supports AOL now I think, if you're on Windows - www.miranda-im.com

  8. Re:How do you pronounce SCO? on SCO: Code Proof Analyzed, Linus Interviewed · · Score: 5, Funny

    No no, it's *spelled* S C O, but it's pronouned "ass hats"

  9. Re:A shame on Divx Now Adware Supported Only · · Score: 1

    MPlayer, Xine.

  10. Re:Gimme my AIM-CQ on FCC Lifts AOL IM Limits · · Score: 1

    When you switch to Gaim

  11. Re:No thanks on Microsoft wants Automatic Update for Windows · · Score: 1

    Please, the nvidia drivers are 12MB.

  12. Re:Not such a bad idea on Microsoft wants Automatic Update for Windows · · Score: 1

    But if you're really technically savvy, you're
    a) running a firewall, so many exploits won't hit you.
    b) not running insecure software (Outlook, IE, etc).
    c) smart enough to realize patches can cause problems, so maybe you'd like to wait 3 or 4 days until others have tried it

    d) Not running Windows anyway :)

  13. Re:Terrible choice of name. on XFree86 Fork Gets a Name, Website · · Score: 1

    XWin is not a development project. It's a community forum.

  14. I like competition, but... on China Upgrades from Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    It seems like a *lot* of their graphical style is ripped off of MS Office 2000, see for an example.

  15. Re:HUH? on Aquarium Modcase · · Score: 1

    I was not kidding. I have heard of a "case mod" and a "modded case", but never heard them referred to as a "modcase"...that makes no sense at all.

  16. HUH? on Aquarium Modcase · · Score: 1

    What on *earth* is a modcase!??!?!?!?

  17. Re:English Summary on Translated KDE/Linux Usability Report Available · · Score: 1

    What's GmbH mean? I seen it on German corporate websites I think.

  18. Re:Usability on Translated KDE/Linux Usability Report Available · · Score: 1

    Aaaaaand...poking around in the menus lets you set it up so the description comes first.

  19. Re:Usability on Translated KDE/Linux Usability Report Available · · Score: 2, Informative

    KDE does what you're talking about, except in reverese. The default configuration is to list items in the menu like this:

    Internet
    |-> Konqueror (Web Browser)
    |-> KNode (News Reader)
    |-> KPPP (Internet Dial-up Tool)

  20. Good reason for the change though... on Flavor vs. Flavour · · Score: 2, Informative

    There was a good reason for the change. An example in the discussion was like this:

    1357: rpc_authflavor_t authflavour;

    which means that there are inconsistencies in the variable naming, which could lead to confusion later on.

  21. Re:Alternate Market on One Last New Episode of Futurama · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't see why not. Apparently it's a money maker in Japan.

  22. Re:Hrmmm on Hardware Manufacturers Gouging Customers · · Score: 1

    Then I must own the hardware. I could put something else on it in place of their software.

  23. Hrmmm on Hardware Manufacturers Gouging Customers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So a NetApp storage system is two separate pieces, the hardware and the software. If I decide to sell my old NetApp, does this mean I can sell the hardware to someone, and the software to someone else? That doesn't sound like something that NetApp would like.

  24. Re:ARRRRR on Are We About To Enter The Age of Book Piracy? · · Score: 1

    Hell yeah, I'd pirate text books in a flash.
    1) Buy the first edition of a new $90 Biology book
    2) Have the Prof decide he won't use it next year
    3) When the class is over, take it back to the bookstore
    4) Get $0 because "We're not using it next year"
    5) ???
    6) Profit!

  25. Re:I'm your Target Market on GameCube Production to Halt · · Score: 1

    I agree. Nintendo should stop making good games, and focus on game of the year quality titles like BMX XXX.
