  1. Re:Dreamcast - the next Amiga? on Dreamcast Could Pick Up Inferno And Plan 9 · · Score: 2

    The Amiga had the CD32 unit which had games and I think a few educational apps. Needless to say, it flopped, but was a pretty cool system. Think of the Atari XE gaming system.

  2. Re:In the future on Cops Bust Starcraft Clan · · Score: 2

    Do it! A coworker of mine found the blueprints to our new workplace's office. He spent a month making a quake 2 map of about half of it. We were then killing each other aronud the cubicles(including the bathroom that had a stairway to the cieling). Fortunately, he hid a nice gun in the QA lab. It was fun.

  3. In the future on Cops Bust Starcraft Clan · · Score: 5

    Several years from now, campus police or real police will raid Counterstrike/Quake/Firearms matches. No, they won't raid the students' dorms, but will show up as actual players in the game(complete with police skins). Any of the clans attempt to shoot one of these Police players will be charged with assaulting an officer and be taken to cs_jail.

    They can then spraypaint their warrants somewhere on the map's walls.

    Okay I made that up since I'm dyin for a cigarette.

  4. Re:honorary XFL jersey for Katz... on Technology And The XFL · · Score: 2

    I have a feeling the "he hate me" phrase will be the next "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!" fad. Too bad you can't fit that on an XFL jersey.

  5. XFL on Technology And The XFL · · Score: 2

    Even though this article should be modded down(WAY offtopic), I'll ask anyway.

    NBC played the XFL on Saturday night(I miss the Pretender and the Profiler), and then the next day my local UPN affiliate played another XFL game, sans Jesse Ventura(who might I add reminded me of the color commentary he did in The Running Man).

    Does the XFL have contracts with TWO networks for ONE show?

  6. Re:It has been around and is called a Thumbdrive on IBM's New USBKey Device · · Score: 2

    A friend of mine springed for one. The size of a pack of chewing gum. Real nice. Hope the prices go down someday, and push for a front mounted USB port, or a port on a keyboard so you don't have to reach in back of the case.

  7. heh on Changing Earth's Orbit Proposed · · Score: 3

    This idea sounds like these guys have been watching too much Doctor Who.

  8. Sega, the next Atari?" on Dreamcast Mark II Prototype On Show · · Score: 2

    With Sega's dumping of the dreamcast, and the unveiling of this Mark 2, I can't help but to think of Atari's class act on the marketplace. "Hey! Let's release another videogame system/computer even though we were as sucessful as Soul Asylum's last album!"

  9. dumb question on Cheap Linux PDAs · · Score: 2

    I just acquired an old US Robotics 1 meg "Pilot"(that's what it sez on the case) that doesn't even have the backlit display. Can I still use the latest palmOS apps on it without worry? I have no clue on how to upgrade the PalmOS, or even know if I can.

  10. saturn + the dreamcast on NetBSD Supports SEGA's Broadband Adapter · · Score: 2

    I remember seeing Keyboards + internet connectivity for the Sega Saturn units.

    I wonder... could you do a whole client(saturn)/server(dreamcast) setup entirely of Sega gaming units?

    Turn a sega nomad into a networked palm-like device, and you could have Sonic be your IS!

  11. Re:Reminds me of a tennis training video... on "Mirror cells" May Be Key To Communication · · Score: 2

    Didn't the video(that I saw in high school) use the example of a group of people practicing basketball, while the other group didn't hit the court, but imagined playing basketball?

  12. Re:Bureaucracy on Can You Suggest Any Non-Zero Sum Games? · · Score: 2

    Gee, that reminds me of Steve Jackson games' "Car Wars". There were too many - or + modifiers just to see if you hit your opponent.

  13. Re:This is normal for TPD. on The Unblinking Eye · · Score: 2

    That happened in the twin cities less than a week ago. Club bust(due to lack of permits), and we all got to go, but withour IDs photocopied first.

  14. Re:Good for Sega on Slashback: Cutbacks, Oz, Furniture · · Score: 2

    If it makes you feel any better, I bought an Atari Jaguar(on clearence), the video game equivalent of wearing a "kick me" sign on one's back.

  15. Re:Absolutely! on New Netcomm Smart i Share 56k Modem/Hub/Server · · Score: 2

    Shh! I'm trying to recompile the kernel on my floppy drive.

  16. Re:guess we'll have to go back and watch on Human clones priced at $50,000 · · Score: 2

    According to Star Trek's timeline, I think the Eugenics wars headed by good 'ol Khan was started by this. If Ricardo Montalban gives up the dough, look out!

  18. crunch-ups on New Boxes For Captain Crunch · · Score: 1

    I remember hearing about him many years ago where he showed a bunch of kids how to do "Crunch-Ups". Sounded pretty perverted if you ask me.

  19. Holmes on Pushing The Postal Envelope · · Score: 2

    Suppossedly kids in england send mail to Sherlock Holmes at 221B Baker Street, which belongs to a business. The employeess enjoy reading their mail intended for him.

  20. Re:Use of ZIP+4 codes on Pushing The Postal Envelope · · Score: 2

    When I worked at Blockbuster Video, I saw several drivers licenses with the address for Mailboxes etc. The apartment # was the box #. I knew it was indeed mailboxes etc, since it was right next door to us. Guess it helps keep away those stalkers who access your DMV records, leaving them to ponder how you live in a 6x6 inch box.

  21. Re:Duh ! on U.S. vs. Europe on Online Privacy · · Score: 2

    If the US government tried to implement that, we would be kicking and screaming about government control of the Internet, and make instant comparisons to China.

    Other rumors:

    1. Sega ingested Coke and pop rocks, and died from a ruptured stomach
    2. Sega broke its neck trying to do a headspin, a popular breakdancing move
    3. Sega found a JATO takeoff system, attached it to its car, and died from the explosion

  23. Re:Original G.I. Joe on Complete Transformers Generation One Set on ebay · · Score: 2

    Are you referring to the episode where SHipwreck was on a Prisoner-like island, and his family were some weird blob-like creatures, with his daughtter firing a bazooka at him?

    That episode WAS a mindfuck.

    interesting fact I can't confirm: the almighty Megatron toy(one of the few non-symmetrical toys), was actually released way back in 1974, but not named Megatron.
