  1. You might try BMP2MAP... on Architecture / Home Design Software? · · Score: 1

    It's a bitmap to quake map converter. I've never tried it, but it appears to use different colors to distinguish between different floor and ceiling heights. Click here for the webpage.

  2. Re:Depends on the field. on OpEd Piece on Extended Life Expectancy · · Score: 1

    That's because no lawyers of any age make worthwhile contributions to society...

  3. New? Pshaw! on GBA To Control Robotic Gaming Bugs? · · Score: 4, Funny
    new type of gaming coming of is NOT a video game, but robotic gaming

    I've had robotic
    gaming on my NES for years...
  4. Re:Sensationalism... on An Enlightened Look at an Over-Lighted World · · Score: 1

    I never said not to attempt to change the lighting situation. I do, however, know that government moves at a glacial pace, and in the meantime, room-darkening vinyl blinds keep the sweet, blessed dark in, for the low, low, price of less than $5 a window. FYI, I don't really think that any one purchase makes a "nice profit" for Wal-Mart, rather that their money is made through thin profits in volume.

  5. Re:Multiplayer where it's at on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Rated · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Overall I believe there is plenty of evidence showing that games have gotten better over the years, at least if you look at the ratio of crappy games: good games.
    I propose that the ratio of good games to suck games remains constant. This explains why Playstation has many, many times the number of crappy games the N64 has, despite their both being sold during roughly the same time frame. (The Playstation's total library is much larger than the N64's.) Someone should do the math and determine what the ratio of good to suck games is, but I further propose that the subjective nature of the calculation would render it valueless to everyone but the calculator.
  6. Re:Fantasies? on Do-It-Yourself-Game-Console · · Score: 1

    Actually, the gameboy color, which is not the original, retails for $69.99. The original is probably less, unless you find it at an antique shop ;).

  7. Re:5 megs.. that actually means a lot of things.. on Windows 95 in 4.47MB · · Score: 1

    it's surprising how stable you can make win95b when it isn't doing much and on running stable hardware Ed Note - No it isn't.

  8. Re:Sensationalism... on An Enlightened Look at an Over-Lighted World · · Score: 1

    Might I recommend room-darkening vinyl blinds, available on the cheap at wal-mart. They make my room dark as a tomb, so I can sleep past noon. Best quality of life investment you'll ever make.

  9. QUAKE on Cross-Platform LAN Gaming Suggestions? · · Score: 1

    I know people have already recommended Quake 1, but you might have been misled by their suggestions of other games alongside it, creating the appearance that Quake has an equal. Honestly, Quake 1 is all you need. No matter whether you prefer gameplay or eyecandy, Quake has the hookup, and an active development community to ensure it stays that way. Hell, run the Team Fortress mod with the DarkPlaces engine and have your cake and eat it!

  10. Re:funny ....... on The RIAA Hit List - A Pattern Emerges? · · Score: 1

    You make the unwarranted assumption that that is all that rap and hip hop have to offer.

  11. Re:Worthless now, but wait a while on Palm OS Based Gaming Device Nears Release · · Score: 1

    Ah, I see you have fallen for Sony's tactic of giving pre-release specs that are twice what the hardware ships with. It'll catch up with 'em eventually.

  12. Oh no! on Accelerating Change Conference · · Score: 1

    The eschaton is being immanentized!

  13. Re:When I was their age ... on Youth Spend More Time on Web Than TV · · Score: 1

    Blah lucky whippersnapper blah,
    chiseled emails in logs, blah,
    then burnt them and sent them as smoke signals, blah.

  14. Re:here we go again on Diebold Voting Systems Grossly Insecure · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It amazes me that so many people view a compromised vote-counting machine as a problem, when the vote itself was compromised long ago when corporate dollars became more valuable to our so-called representatives.

  15. Re:I vote we replace it with... on RMS Calls On Linux Developers To Replace BitKeeper · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Bathe her, and bring her to me.

  16. Re:Well if everyone would quit breaking the law on WiFi Hotspots Elude RIAA Dragnet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That does not change the fact that anyone who seeks power is unfit to wield it.

  17. Re:Pretty common scenario on Filesharing Traffic Drops After RIAA Threats · · Score: 1

    If God could design the world to deceive its inhabitants, surely he could've put the blindly faithful here in order to test the wits and integrity of the rest of us.

  18. Re:Dinosaurs, dogma on Filesharing Traffic Drops After RIAA Threats · · Score: 1

    In addition to the answer given in the other reply to the parent, the fossil record, of which dinosaurs are a part, contradicts the existence of a "Garden of Eden" with every animal that ever existed, existing simultaneously in harmony, as part of the same ecosystem.

  19. Re:What an awesome new technology! on Napster, Audio Fingerprinting, and the Future of P2P · · Score: 1

    What about covers of songs? Wouldn't they have similar fingerprints, thus causing false positives?

  20. Re:Fight Club on Sony Recalls 18,000 VAIO Laptops · · Score: 1

    Imho, anyone who would've been "perfect" for the role of Tyler Durden never would've gotten within 1,000 miles of Hollywood, except to burn it.

  21. War on drugs, war on terror... on Addicted to Information? · · Score: 2, Funny

    War on information?
    Brought to you by Dick Cheney of the GWB Marionette Co. producing lifelike presidents for nearly four years.

  22. Re:Since when is sci-fi defined by films? on Science Faction · · Score: 1

    And Arthur C Clarke. For a textbook example of science fiction exploring technology's impact, read The Light of Other Days. Like a fictional The Transparent Society

  23. Re:Wow, michael on Science Faction · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    No spelling or grammar errors and still complain, complain, complain...

  24. Re:Good thing it's free. on Guild Wars - Competitive MMO, No Subscription? · · Score: 1

    Manual labor builds character ;)

  25. Re:Slashdot Beatitudes on Linus Torvalds about SCO, IP, MS and Transmeta · · Score: 1

    If they suggested, let them suggest
    The word suggest has different meanings depending on whether it is used by a church/cult or layman. Layman usage means, "Here's advice, take it or leave it." In Churchspeak, it means, "This is the word of god. If you even contemplate questioning it, you will suffer unspeakable torment in our Lake O' Fire© until you die an infinitude of times. See ya next Sunday, don't forget to tithe." Hope that clears it up for you.
