  1. Re:OT, sick day scams... on Running Your Electric Meter Backwards · · Score: 2, Informative

    The car in the movie was an MGB modified to look like a Ferrari. I have an MGB and can attest that it does have 5 digits.

  2. Re:No problems with Comcast on Fiber TV Install and Experience · · Score: 1

    Sign up for Basic Cable then. It's only $12.95 a month. Carries only what's over the air plus a couple others and carries the HD signals of the over the air, but you'll need a QAM tuner to decode them.

  3. Lego Star Wars I or II on Best 2+ Player Video Games? · · Score: 1

    Everyone in the family likes this one. Anyone can come by drop in, play around, drop out. My wife likes it, my son likes it, it's clearly the best multi-player game in our collection.

  4. Broadcast quaility MPEG decoders cards on Could I Run a TV Station on Linux? · · Score: 1

    Shameless plug, yes it is. But what the poster asked is basically what I do day in and day out, except our clients connect to digital displays instead of TV Transmitters. I'm sure you could buy some of our older cards rather inexpensively. We have drivers for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. We also have database software but you could probably do better on your own for a whole lot less.

  5. Re:no more than 250 anyway on Nintendo's Iwata on the Wii Price Point · · Score: 1

    No, the Atari 2600 had 2 controller ports. The paddle controller connected two paddles to a single port so with two ports you could have 4 paddles.

  6. Re:Real Olympic Game on On The Trendiest Concepts In Game Design · · Score: 1

    Epyx Winter Games maybe?

    Also by Epyx : Summer Games I & II

    I had them for the C64. I seem to remember them requireing you to frantically shake the joystick. I also recall they sold a microswitched joystick that was well suited for their games.

  7. Re:Biblical precidence on Are The Digits of Pi Random? · · Score: 1

    111/106 yields 1.04717.

  8. 3DFX Gone on 3Dfx No More -- NVidia Purchases Video Card Maker · · Score: 1

    I work for a company who was spun off of 3dfx back in February and we're still in their building in Dallas (Richardson to be exact). This has been talked about for over a month here daily and it really comes as no surprise. The bottom line was it was cheaper for nVidia to buy 3dfx then to pay the fines from the lawsuits from 3dfx.
