  1. Re:Seems less than amazingly useful to me... on NetBSD Progress On Sega's Dreamcast · · Score: 1

    Sega is working on a NIC adapter for the Dreamcast. It should be out later this year I believe.

  2. Different link to the .plan on id Software Announces Development Of Doom III · · Score: 1
    The link in the article seems to be hosed. Here is a different source:

    http://finger.planetquake.com/ plan.asp?userid=johnc

  3. etoys.com feedback pages on No EToy for Christmas · · Score: 1
    Here are two pages at which you can leave etoys.com feedback: The first link is to "report a problem with the site", and the second is to "send feedback." I'd say this qualifies as both.
  4. etoys.com feedback pages on No EToy for Christmas · · Score: 1

I'd say this qualifies as both.

  5. Lifespan of the FPS on Ask John Carmack About Quake - or Anything Else · · Score: 1

    The FPS has been a very popular game genre since Doom. The games have advanced technically, but the premise remains essentailly the same. How much longer do you expect the genre to be popular?

  6. Re:Are we approaching microwave frequencies? on 700 MHz Athlon · · Score: 1

    But what about all the geeks that keep their case open?

  7. Re:PRETTY?? on Google is launched! · · Score: 1

    HTML compliance is a joke anyway. The two most popular browsers are not even close to compliant. All that matters is that the pages render nicely in a text or graphical browser, with any size window. Most web designers can't even do this.

  8. QT4 is *much* slower than QT3 on Higher Res Prequel Trailer (and Quicktime 4) · · Score: 1

    I've got a P233MMX running NT 4.0. I could play the trailer with QT3 and the video was smooth, but there was no sound. So I installed QT4. Things only got worse. I could play the high-res trailer, and the sound was fine, but the video was really slow, one frame every few seconds.

    Even worse, when I tried to play menace_480.mov, it was also choppy! menace_480.mov worked perfectly using QT3. So my "upgrade" to QT4 was anything but. I'm sticking with QT3.

  9. It almost works with QuickTime 3.0 on Higher Res Prequel Trailer (and Quicktime 4) · · Score: 1

    If you download the .mov file, you can play it with QuickTime 3.0. The video looks great, but there is no sound. I guess you need QuickTime 4.0 to get the sound.

    Also, it plays fine on my P233MMX with crappy S3 Virge display adapter. Even if I double the size it runs smoothly.

  10. But how do you save it to disk? on Higher Res Prequel Trailer (and Quicktime 4) · · Score: 2

    Here's how I did it:

    Make an html document with a link to:

    http://www.apple.com/home/media/menace_640qt4.mo v

    Then load the page, and right-click the link and choose "Save Link As..."

  11. Who's making this hardware, anyway? on MS Introduces Optical Mouse · · Score: 1

    I've got a Logitech Cordless Wheel Mouse, and they do have drivers for the wheel. The mouse came with diskettes in the box. I believe they also have drivers on their web site.

  12. They should have made it cordless on MS Introduces Optical Mouse · · Score: 1

    I recently got a Logitech Cordless Wheel Mouse and I love it. I could never go back to tugging on a mouse cord. Plus, it is a nice conversation piece.

    I have a hard time calling a corded mouse "innovative". Cordless is a bigger innovation than optical.

    Last, I really doubt it will work on any surface. If the surface has *no* variations I don't see how they can use optical sensors to detect movement.
