Cool game, but it can't be 3d by any means. It looks like Eye of the Beholder (or Bard's Tale for that matter). The reason you could likely only move in squares gives away a lot about the graphics engine. It really isn't even 2.5D ala Wolf3D and Doom. Call bullshit (I could be wrong), but Ultima Underworld is truly the first 3D game to feature a Z-Axis as well as give you the ability to look up and down. Doom wasn't to even come out until a few years later.
This is kinda like that "Bush banned stem-cell research" myth, when in fact he just stopped anti-abortionists from being forced to fund abortions (via taxpayer money).
Even from a rebublican viewpoint this makes very little sense. I hate to say it, but from a financial standpoint, ending life prematurely saves the government a far greater sum than the cost of the average abortion. (What ~$5000???)
From a fiscally conservative point of view (what the republicans claim to be) it makes little to no sense to illegalize abortion or create artificial barriers.
Call me a goddamned troll or what have you, but think about how many new children are added to medicare each year, yet alone the millions of people that actually try to live on government assistance? I think it is really sad that a lot of people live on government assistance not just because they decided it to be. I mean it really isn't a career path. Just like the many homeless people you never see (I was one) a lot of them never really chose to be there either.
The only reason the Rebublicans wish to end abortion is because of religious reasons. I think it gives the government a lot of power to tell a woman what she can and can not do with her body. A lot of women would agree. One of the main reasons that people generally seek abortion is because of economic reasons. I went to a relatively rough inner city school and had on average 75 pregnancies a year, a student dead sometimes once a month or so, open drug dealing/usage, teachers getting stabbed in the throat, oh, and someone slashing my wrist. I'm not making this up.
Personally I think the poor are getting desperately poor these days. The disparity is wider than it has been in over 70 years. Call me a bleeding heart, liberal, wtf ever, but unless you grew up or lived in that sort of culture you probably don't understand the plight of the working (or lately nonworking) man.
Microsoft Windshield Mobile Platform 2006 Released!
August 25, 2008
We are proud to announce that Microsoft Windshield Mobile Platform 2008 has gone gold today.
We have begun shipping to retailers across the United States.
A brief list of some of the great features behind the new Windshield Mobile Platform.
It come with IE 8.4.2.23456345234234A, build 330453 which offers for the first time, enhanced Spyware and adware security features.(Just imagine no more penis enlargement ads flashing across your HUD.)
Reboots are now possible without having to stop the engine.
Increased worm detection means less time on the road rather than along side of the road.
Privacy options available for a low monthly cost.
Fewer blue screen windshields.
Better hardware detection and integration.
System Requirements:
Comes standard with any new 2008 GM, Ford, Toyota or Honda car. Might require a CPU and Memory core updates in older models. Not all cars will be supported. Older software may not work. Microsoft makes no warranty or claim on the backwards compatibility of this operating system.
An SVGA or better HUD integrated windshield.
All for the low, low cost of $25.00 / month for licensing and DRM privelidges.
Check out jack (feeling too lazy to search for a URL, google is also your friend). It will automatically scan the disc for a CDDB entry, rip the files to a directory of your choosing (default is home) and encode in the format of your choosing or just ogg which is the default. Most distros should have a jack package. Set up your system to run jack on the insert of a CD and you're set to go, unless the CD is not in the database, then it will just give it a directory name based upon the ID and name each track track1, track2,,etc.
The version I have downloaded from the-underdogs has the full intros. They are just merely recoded in divX, so you have to have the divX player at least installed to view them. This is actually a plus, since the originals used a propriatary intel codec that has long since died and has become rather impossible to find. As far as I can tell the game is isn't butchered at all, and after seeing the intro now, I don't think you are missing a great deal. The credits are kinda funney though. The whole game story is presented pretty much within the game engine.
Who is trying to frighten college kids with stories of how they will be drafted if Bush is re-elected? The democrats.
It's not "the Democrats," just "Democrats." There's a difference. Unless you care to provide proof that the DNC is behind this little hoax?
Rob
This is a good point. If "the Democrats" were behind this bill, they would have voted along the party lines, but this was not the case, only one person voted for the bill. Please do not make broad statements with little to no evidence to back them up, or did you take the Bush school of politics? One person voting for a bill does not equal a Democratic ploy.
1) Roughly what percent of your music collection is unauthorized files from P2P like Kazaa, FTP, etc.?
99.5% In my defense, most of it is replacing two seperate massive CD collections I've amassed and lost over the years. (Gotta love ex-girlfriends, they'll fuck you over and steal all your shit at the same time). I just can't bring myself to buy all that crap over again, and even if I did, I'd probably buy it all used. So who makes the money there? The used music store and nobody else.
If Neil Young, Led Zepplin and everyone else I've "ripped off" would like to collect their ~$1.00 per album from me, I'd be happy to start sending checks.
From IMGDB.com:
"Those into 1940s period atmosphere and those interested in classic cars should like this. There's plenty of nice clothes, colors, swing music and of course cars. Jeff Bridge's portrayal of Tucker is charming even if it doesn't quite ring true. And maybe Vera Tucker was as sexy as Joan Allen. The problem is that the real story is a bit different from this typically Hollywood camped up version. Tucker was ambitious and daring but took on more than he could succeed with for technical and practical reasons in the time period that he set himself. The SEC took him and five associates to court because his cars didn't have all the technical features that he had promised investors in his prospectus they would. That stymied his ability to raise the money he needed to produce the 300,000 cars he had orders for. It was not a case of the "big three" motor companies acting to crush him - in fact Ford gave him steering wheels for the Lincoln Zephyr as a gesture of help. The legacy is those attractive 51 cars that were produced which are today very highly valued."
So...it wasn't really the big three that were after him, it was the SEC. Just thought you should see this. In many ways he sounds like Moller, the guy behind the flying cars, which are one of the biggest pipe dreams I've seen in a while. This guy hasn't even demostrated an actual working (non-tethered) prototype while still soaking in the millions of investors. Everyone has fantastic ideas on how to improve technology, but their execution and feasibility has always the greatest challenge.
Broken Links No More?"Students in England have developed a tool which could bring the end to broken links. Peridot............Peridot could lead to a world where there are no more broken links,'"
I'll troll to hell for this, but I could care less, and I have no problems standing up for what I say. This is terribly irresponsible journalism. No fucking where in the summary does it mention intranet or corporate websites. A world would be pretty global, would it not? Again, the headlines and summaries are getting totally out of sync with the actual articles. Nothing gets edited and people are bitching all over the place about what essentially has amounted to stories (hah, an actual story on slashdot) that are ads. I mean come on. Product announcements versus real news?
I'm sure for as many people that read this site (and pay the bills, as well as *ahem* salary) that the editors must surely get a great deal of story submissions every day. Hell, I'm sure that many people wouldn't actually mind some fucking content once in a while other than links to other stories. The site hasn't been changed in what, like years now? Are the "editors" that busy that they can't even hire someone to actually double check their stories for dupes and errors?
Mod me to hell for this, but I have merely summarized what many have bitched about for months and months and months now, and frankly, while I love the humor and the insightfulness that many share here, the "editors" are really getting lazy these days. Feel free to correct me, I mean I'm sure all those "nothing to see here" and downtimes are starting put a cramp in the afternoon quake matches, so I guess they could be working on getting the site running better, right?

This is the problem with Slashdot... I can't tell if you are being funny or are serious and one of those paranoid conspiracy theory types. We need a mod catagory for that, like +1 crazy, or -1 depending how you look at it.We don't need a mod category for this.
Dude. Lighten up. Its a joke. Laugh. Life doesn't have to be so fscking serious all the time.
Put my right off P2P, even after ammassing a selection of around 500Mb of free content which the RIAA and MPAA wouln't (or shouln't) come after me for:/
Pshaw! 500 MEGS? That's like what? 20 albums at 192k? That's nothing, I got 120 gigs of music the RIAA will never sue me for.:)
While you could install a virus scanner for your *NIX box, I've found it a lot simpler to just scan my shares from a Windows box with Norton. Just add the drives to the scheduler and let Norton pick through it every night. Takes a little while to scan 120 gigs over ethernet, but by morning its always done with a report on my screen. To date it hasn't found a virus on the share yet. While I should probably be worried about potential linux virii, I'm not all that concerned because the only thing that ever really gets saved to the / partition is package files and I am pretty much one of the only real users of the machine.
First of all, as many have mentioned, Microsoft compiled some buffer checking code into the service pack. While this may slow performance slightly, this is a Good Thing (tm). At the risk of this post becoming redundant, it should also be mentioned that Windows is now firewalling incoming connections as well, but I wouldn't really know what exactly it installs because I am running all Win2K and Linux ATM. While the firewall is a very simple port blocking firewall on the incoming side only, it still will take up a few cycles.
Ever since I installed Kerio I've since noticed that even LAN traffic causes the firewall to take up a few percentage points. Considering how ancient this hardware is, it is not really that bad. AV software will also slow down your PC. While it would be nice to not waste so much time having the processor make sure your data is virus free and that your buffers are ok, they will become even more necessary in the future. Imagine how much CPU time 1024 bit encryption at the file system level would take up? There is a distinct tradeoff between performance and security happening, and it seems likely that the trend will continue long into the future as hacking techniques become more sophisticated.
I guess I'll quit rambling now just wanted to say that as you increase security, overhead performance will likely decrease in certain ways.
Only one remote hole in the default install, in more than 8 years!
That's pretty good, but what exactly does that mean? OpenBSD isn't exactly ubiquitous like say Windows, FreeBSD or Linux and MacOS X (another BSD flavored OS). Since they code reviewed the kernel code heavily during the beginning of OpenBSD, I think removing or altering many, many lines, is OpenBSD therefore that much more secure?
The reason I ask is that I was working on putting together a small BSD or maybe even Linux based firewall for oh, I dunno, about 4 users. Since a firewall would sit on the edge of the network, security is #1. Would OpenBSD be a more secure solution for such a task than say, just simply using FreeBSD?

Just uncheck the "duplicate stories" box on your preferences page. Worked for me...
I did that but then I was only averaging > 10 stories a day! Seriously, someone should do a study of the dupe to new ratio over a period of say, a month. I'm sure it would be quite high indeed.
I should get a subscription, I can see all the dupes earlier!!

Since they code reviewed the kernel code heavily during the beginning of OpenBSD, I think removing or altering many, many lines, is OpenBSD therefore that much more secure?
The reason I ask is that I was working on putting together a small BSD or maybe even Linux based firewall for oh, I dunno, about 4 users. Since a firewall would sit on the edge of the network, security is #1. Would OpenBSD be a more secure solution for such a task than say, just simply using FreeBSD?
Just asking.

I did that but then I was only averaging > 10 stories a day! Seriously, someone should do a study of the dupe to new ratio over a period of say, a month. I'm sure it would be quite high indeed.
I should get a subscription, I can see all the dupes earlier!!
