  1. Re:Offtopic: Mouse Cursors on Windows CE.NET Ported to Xbox · · Score: 1

    I thought there was a tool in the Windows mouse panel that made the mouse give off flashy shiny circles or something, so you could find it on a crowded display.

  2. Re:The problem with US Comics on Japan's Empire of Cool · · Score: 1

    That perception is probably due to the implementation of the Comics Code which eventually turned the mainstream comic industry into repetitive superhero-comic garbage. Of course, if you want to look beyond the mainstream you can probably find stuff of much more interest.

  3. Re:Pardon me on Microsoft at the Tipover Point · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the virulent backlash against the whole TCPA/Palladium rig. I do like the secure key storage and hardware randomizer, but other than that the thing gives me the willies.

  4. X-Wing CD on Special Christmas Features In Games? · · Score: 1

    I remember getting this for Christmas and seeing a Santa in the hangar waving like mad. Pretty cool. ;)

    Oh, and the new Simpsons Road Rage game supposedly changes the menu screen, or so I've heard.

  5. Re:So on Playing Mogul In The Games Industry · · Score: 1

    Only if Infogrames isn't done ruining the name of one of the game industry's pioneers. Take this man at face value -- he's obviously here to make money.

  6. Re:wow on Cheap, Rugged, Multiplayer Gamepads for Linux · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I bought a Gravis gamepad for my Windows machine, and was sufficiently surprised to see that pressing up and to the left on the pad disconnected it under Linux and Windows.

    So I probably won't buy a new one.

  7. Re:Nifty on Free, Open Source OS For TI Calculators · · Score: 2, Informative

    TI still owns the hell out of every school district I've seen. With hundreds of students students per school buying a new calculator every year, why in the hell would you ever want to waste money improving it?

  8. Re:Censored in arcades, too on King of Fighters Censored for Stateside Release · · Score: 1

    I think the earlier KoF machines let you toggle Mai's bouncing, actually.

  9. Re:Who said.... on Kids Game Takes Aim At Music Pirates · · Score: 1

    I find it ironic that a group of Russians are putting this one together when Russia has such a problem with software (music probably, too) piracy.

  10. I dig her PC Engine on Plush Game Consoles Revealed · · Score: 1

    But I'd like to see a plush Atari 800XL. That would be really cool.

  11. Re:I used to do this on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 1

    I thought about somehow boosting the range on a FM modulator and letting people listen in on my mp3s.

    And you thought the RIAA was the biggest of your worries...

  12. Re:WiFi storage? on 802.11b Memory Stick for CLIE · · Score: 1

    Huh. And here I thought having a cell phone that doubles as an iTunes remote was useful.

  13. Whee. on The Matrix Going Massively Multiplayer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So what happens when people crack the game server and start modifying it?

  14. Re:whats next ..? on 1.70 Mhz 8-Bit Ataris Get 10 Mbit Ethernet · · Score: 1
  15. Re:I must on 1.70 Mhz 8-Bit Ataris Get 10 Mbit Ethernet · · Score: 1

    Mine's already dusted off. It's sitting on top of my current home PC. Strange thing is, I've played more games on it in the past few months than I have on the PC.

  16. Hmm... on Valve's Counter-Strike - Condition Zero Exposed · · Score: 3, Funny

    and even think they're sitting at their own PC

    Does this mean it has to leave when its mom says to go to bed? Because that would definitely make me think I have the real CS experience.

  17. Re:Hello? "Chilling effect?" on Slashback: Diebold, Peroxide, Comdex · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the difference now is that most American universities are run by beancounters who flee in panic from any mention of legal trouble.

  18. Re:AntiSCO sites? on Slashback: Diebold, Peroxide, Comdex · · Score: 1

    From what I've seen the Royal Bank uses a UNIX-based system for everything, maybe it is an SCO operating system. *shrug* I definitely don't feel like I should put my money there.

  19. Re:Just like a video game on Preparing for the DARPA Autonomous Vehicle Challenge · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There are probably lots of game hackers trying to use the best of the best in pathfinding algorithms. It'll be interesting to see if what the game industry has been using for years actually does keep a speeding vehicle from getting embedded in rocks, children, and sandstone walls.

  20. Re:Sounds dangerous on Preparing for the DARPA Autonomous Vehicle Challenge · · Score: 1

    Well, if you're stupid enough to stand in front of a speeding motor vehicle controlled by a computer then obviously you've been either living in a cave for the past twenty-odd years or you're legally brain-damaged.

  21. Re:Hmmmm on Nokia Investigating Reported Cell Phone Explosions · · Score: 1

    How do you remove them from the wall after the shards get embedded in it?

  22. Re:Transacting the undefined on What Counts as Music and Why? · · Score: 1

    MetaSynth is a neat toy, although all I've generated from my pictures is horrible screeches.

  23. Re:Locked Doors on How Were You Fired? · · Score: 1

    Nice deal! One would guess they don't read these things very clearly.

  24. Re:GPS Reception on Track a Soda Can with GPS? · · Score: 1

    Quick, register the domain warcoking.org before Coca-Cola does.

  25. FLAC on iRiver Announces A New Ogg/MP3 Player · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, the Diamond/Rio ogg player that was on here earlier also had FLAC support. Would be nice for more portable players to have that now that the disks are getting huge.
