  1. Disappointment? on Shrek 2 Trailer Released · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I love the way Slashdot editors allow these malformed opinions on front-page articles just because twenty-five people replied to a story saying they didn't like the movie.

    Slashdot editors need to be journalists, not editorialists. Give us the facts, and leave the "status quo" geek mindset for each reader to decide.

  2. Re:Got it to compile on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 1

    By the way, here are the compilation instructions:

    Compile /launcher_main
    Compile /launher
    When you go to compile /engine, you'll get 2 unresolved externals. Do a search for the two functions and comment it out (each is only called once)
    Compile /engine
    Compile filesystem/filesystem_stdio
    Compile /gameui
    Copy gameui.dll to ../hl2/bin/
    Compile /materialsystem
    Compile /shaderdx8
    Compile /studiorender
    Compile /tier0
    Compile /vgui2
    Compile /vguimatsurface
    Compile /vphysics
    Compile /vstdlib


    There you go, then go ahead and run hl2.exe (add "-window" to run in windowed mode)

  3. Got it to compile on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 1

    I got it to compile and can very much say it's not a hoax. An intersting thing is that the launcher workspace builds two exe's: hl2.exe and tf2.exe

    Like I said the code compiles fine, and runs until somewhere inside the VGUI_Init procedure (console initilization, to be precise) where it crashes.

    I'm working on re-compiling all the DLLs to debug (idiot me did release initally) so I can step in here and try to fix it.

    Dear Valve, please don't kill me.

  4. id code, too? on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 1

    \src_main\public\vector4d.h: * This product contains software technology licensed from Id * Software, Inc. ("Id Technology"). Id Technology (c) 1996 Id Software, Inc. * All Rights Reserved. Looks like there's some id code in there too. If this is real, it could ugly.

  5. Bad move? on Yahoo Shutting Out Third-Party IM Clients? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think that these companies should support third party applications or, atleast, ports to differnt operating systems. Anything that expands your marketshare, right?

  6. The point is obvious on RIAA Offers Amnesty to File Sharers · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Isn't the point of this obvious?

    They're building a database of known but "repented" filesharers, so they can "check up" on them later. Basically takes the busy work out of hunting down Kazaa users. (How many people will actually never pirate another song after this? Exactly. Now you've just made your copyright-infringing ass known to the RIAA. Nice one).


  7. Re:Not too bad of an idea on Why Virus Writers are Useful · · Score: 1

    What a wonderful idea! Please e-mail me with your name, adress, and telephone number so that we can have a "personal" chat about the topic. Sincerecly, Thomas Long FBI Computer Crimes division

  8. Harry Potter as /.'er on Design Slashdot's New T-Shirt and Win Cool Stuff! · · Score: 1

    In the new Harry Potter book, their OWLs (standardized tests) have a lowest score of "T, Troll."

  9. Re:Sensationalism... on Senator Orrin Hatch a Pirate? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unfortunatly, the "everyone else is doing it" defense won't fly infront of a judge. Yes, we all do it, and we all get away with it because no one has any particular reason to check on us as an individual. However, the Senator made a reason when he opened his mouth about piracy. Kind of a "people in glass houses" lesson to be learned here.

  10. Joke, people on Do Cell Phones Make Us Stupid? · · Score: 4, Funny

    dis iz gay i USZEE CEll fonnes ALL THE TIme nd I ARENT sTUpid!!!!!1111

  11. Post Doom III and GPL on Carmack Expounds on Doom III · · Score: 0, Troll

    It seems weird thinking oh John starting to work on the next level of id technology. Doom III seems like such a technological shock that it's pretty tough to imagine what more could be done at the time being. Also, anyone hear any rumors on when Quake III gets GPL'ed? HEY WAIT isn't there a VS.NET clause saying you can't release GPL software? Looks like id'll have to stick to Vs 6.0. But would Microsoft even dare sue id?

  12. /.'ed? on RIAA Sues Backbone ISPs to Censor Website · · Score: 1

    Either the law of bandwidth has caught up with Listen4Ever, or my IP has been blocked (which is quite extraordinary, cosidering I'm on dial-up), because I'm getting a 403 going there...

  13. Re:Great. Now find a good web page builder on Web Designers Ignoring Standards and Support IE Only · · Score: 1

    1st Page 2000. www.evrsoft.com It's an HTML editor with WYSIWYG ideas, i.e. (horrible pun) you can "click in" elements, but you're still getting the raw HTML. I'd highly recomend it, and most of all, it's FREE

  14. RUN, DAMNIT on First Warcraft 3 Reviews Trickle In · · Score: 1

    Sure hope it'll run on my 533... the beta sure as hell didn't.

  15. Re:won't last on Pledge of Allegiance Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    If you haven't noticed, politics seems to be a big thing amoung the "geek" crowd. How many of us have read 1984 or Animal Farm?

  16. Re:This is bull shiz on Freespace 2 Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    The mission editor is MFC, nay, it's MFC^n. Lots of code... lots of dialog boxes...

  17. Hold Up... on Rise Of The 15-Year Olds, Part II · · Score: 1

    Wait wait, while 90% of my age group think they are '31337 hax0rs' just because they tricked someone into installing the Back Orfice server, not all of us are so blissuflly ignorant. There are those of us who understand and use computers and the internet like the "elders" (30 year olds?) referred to in the article. We aren't all script kiddies.
