  1. Grease Theft on Brew Your Own Auto Fuel For 41 Cents A Gallon · · Score: 1

    Now I know why 5000 pounds of grease was stolen in Edmond, Oklahoma.

    I can just imagine 2 or 3 geeks with a pickup truck cackling gleefully at their heist.

  2. Robo Rally on Intelligent Board Games and Social Interaction? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Robo Rally has to be the #1 geek board game out there. Unfortunately it's out of print and you can only get it used and abused from places like Ebay

    I still create RoboRally parties and spend hours playing this game with friends and co-workers. And when I can't get together a group of people to play, there are variants online that are really cool to play too.

    It was created by Richard Garfield (the same guy that made the Magic the Gathering game) and published by Wizards of the Coast back in 1994

    It won 2 awards that next year

    • 1994 Best Fantasy or Science Fiction Board Game at Origins International Game Expo & Fair, July 21, 1995
    • 1994 Best Graphic Presentation of a Board Game at Origins International Game Expo & Fair, July 21, 1995
  3. Re:Did they expect calls? on SCO Run-Time Licenses: Get 'em While They're Hot! · · Score: 1

    Mod this guy up, it's insightful.

  4. Re:The thing stopping more linux games is... on WineX and the Future of Linux Gaming · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess I am one of the 'near zero'. I am a regular casual gamer with only linux at home. This has prevented me from buying any new games for quite some time. When I did play Descent or Heros of Might and Magic way back when, I had a blast. I wish I could get more games like that that ran on linx. I haven't moved on to use wineX out of pure bull headedness. I hate to think that I am paying twice for anything and that is what it seems like I am doing. Paying once for the game and again to make the game work on my system. Oh well for now I guess I will have to be content with TuxRacer and PySol.

  5. RH and Office Depot on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 1
    I wonder if RH will have something to say about Office Depot's new policy. The linked site gives a list of retailers that will carry RH9 on April 7th. However according to this article, OD will be doing away with anything computer related not stamped "Windows XP Certified".
