Aside from the charming fact that they host your secret key on their own server, of course. And the fact that they seem reluctant to post public keys of members.
Toolate. Apparently Americans only believe in free trade and open markets when it allows them to make Nikes in third world sweatshops. NAFTA is a complete fucking joke.
Nah, got rid of it long ago and regretted it ever since. I swore never to repeat that mistake. People look at me funny when they see my SNES sitting next to my Dreamcast.:)
Oh yes, quite sure. Not professionally, but as part of a 5-person development team in a 2 year college course on the whole software development process (design, documentation, implementation, etc). Maybe if half of my time wasn't spent arguing in meetings with the document and art guys and the other half spent arguing in meetings with the group's other programmer I might have enjoyed it more.
Or maybe I'm just an antisocial freak, I dunno. Either way the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth.
True. And making games is even worse. I honestly don't how the game industry recruits developers, considering how dreadfully dull and tedious the work is.
And I'd just like to take this moment to thank Capcom for redeeming themselves with Mega Man X6.
My NES game genie wrecked my system. Eventually the system would only play games if I had the game genie in it.
The PSX game shark (the *real* one that fits on the back), on the other hand, is a beautiful piece of work. The massive built-in memory is nice, and the serial port on the back of the game shark itself makes it handy for backing up codes and saved games to PC. I rarely even use cheat codes, I got the thing to work as a big dex drive/multiple memory card gadget. Being able to get all those hidden goodies not normally available in various games is just a bonus.
Time on the Deep Space Network, the pay for the engineers who operate the spacecraft, the pay for the scientists who study the data, etc, etc, etc. I dunno if I'm feeding a troll or not but I'm tired right now and I'm half asleep and I don't care.
A kill is a kill. There's no score category for "honour" in MW. Take pride in your precision and knowledge of tactics.:)
Speaking of lucky cockpit explosions, I once totalled a friend at max range, in the head, with 4 ER clan LLs. I could hear the scream of "GODDAMMIT!" from halfway across the dorm. Pure luck. I could never do it again if I tried.
I for one would love to give it a go, but every site I've looked at described hundreds of hours of studying and tests and tens of thousands of dollars in equipment.
Is there any way to build a cheap but effective setup? Maybe in the $1000 range? I just get flamed when I asked this question on a ham usenet group.

You read about Cthulu as a child? Whoa.
Take off no Zigs there.
Oh, yeah, there's still PSX games being made. Mega Man X6, my new obsession, was just realeased recently.
Capcom, thou have redeemed thy X5 failure. ^_^

Too late. Apparently Americans only believe in free trade and open markets when it allows them to make Nikes in third world sweatshops. NAFTA is a complete fucking joke.
But only after two years while the US sits on the fence. Again.

Oh, I thought it was my game genie that was screwing it up. My friends all had Sega Master systems, I was the only NES fan.
Not in this industry, friend.
That sounds like an interesting poll question. I vote for the Greys. Or maybe SEELE.

the what? fine, I'll pay for that
Oh, thank you, Mr. Gates.
I think that Mike Harris hates the world and wants to screw everyone over as much as possible in retaliation. Or maybe he's just an idiot. I dunno.

True, I should have been more tactful.
There's a "Goatsex Giver" joke in there somewhere, but for the life of me I just can't think of one at the moment.
Something to consider: He's not in California. Besides, electricity up here in Canada is pretty cheap.
I hope you're just trolling, because if you're being honest...

Cool, thanks for the info.

( And yes, I did RTFFAQ first. :) )
If you want a temporary, informal discussion, set up your own SILC server, and ask your friends not to log. Otherwise, quit whining.
I particularly liked how Linus mentioned that Hurd would be out soon after his post.

And I'm so glad none of my posts have been archived for posterity. My name just turns up some Pearl Jam fan's posts.
