    The problem in American society doesn't end with cell phones. Every other red stoplight I come to I find someone running it. Does everyone need to be in so much of a rush that they can't even obey simple traffic laws!? (Red == STOP, moron!)

    You won't notice any problems unless your on the computer straight for 8 hours a day.
    And how many geeks are there that DON'T use their computers straight for 8 hours a day (more if they had the time) whenever they can?? Seems to me the battery life needs to be upped, but with where the battery sits you couldn't make it any LARGER.

    No, there is no chinese slashdotters, but you might need to be asking "is there any English slashdotters?" since you obviously need to work on your English a bit.

  11. Re:CDex? Try EAC. on Slashback: Picnic, Neonapster, Microsoft · · Score: 1

    The problem with said program is that it doesn't really let you customize it (and if it doesn't use LAME, it's not really giving you the best signal). Using LAME with the "--r3mix -q0" options will give you THE best size-to-quality ratio. (l33t audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between files encoded with it and the original recording.) That's just something I forgot to mention :)

  12. CDex? Try EAC. on Slashback: Picnic, Neonapster, Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Even better is EAC, or Exact Audio Copy. Alongside LAME, OGG Vorbis, or, for you lossless zealots, Monkey's Audio, you've got the most accurate copy of the CD that you can get.

    Of course, if it's N'Sync, it won't really make a difference -- it's crap no matter which CD ripper you use.

    Please! ZoneAlarm has an ad-blocker, and it works >95% of the time. Plus, you get that nifty little feature of having a firewall to keep nasty Microsoft programs from broadcasting your information back to them. (oh yeah, and it helps keep bad hackers out.)

    Responding to my post. Bad me, but I've got some better information.

    [url=http://mworld.rydia.net]mWorld[/url], which was supposed to have been taken down over four years ago (the last time I was in the community), still exists. It has a near-complete archive of MZX games. Also, the "port" I referred to was actually a project to update Megazeux. The PORT is project MZX32. Another, actively-updated site for Megazeux news and information is available here.

  18. ASCII-based Games on Google Art Creator · · Score: 1

    Back in the day (early ninties) there were to ASCII game creation systems.

    The first, ZZT, was the first game ever created by Epic Megagames, and was created in 1991 by Tim Sweeney. It was FINALLY released as freeware in 1997. A compendium of its games is available at Z2.

    The later Megazeux was created by Greg Janson (considered to be the greatest ZZT game creator ever, creating such legends as Code Red) in 1994, and allowed sampled music [MODs], sound effects [SAMs], and customizable colour and character palettes. A SourceForge project to port the system, which was released in 1997 under the GPL license, is available at megazeux.sourceforge.net. (It has been cancelled.)

    Both game systems had huge communities during their primes, featuring several hundred "companies" producing games for the systems. A look into the more humourous side, including satirical looks at its more prominent members, is available here.

    Hopefully SOMEONE will mod this up so that at least the legacy of ZZT and MZX can be remembered.
