    Are there any good bots for ET?

    I like ET but it doesn't seem like a good choice for smaller LAN parties(4-10). Am i wrong?

    Why would that have been worse?

    You there are a lots of dark skinned people in America, who

    Did you read the article?

    They said it would only happen in extreme situations.

    That fact that they are being upfront about should make you happy.

  6. Re:They are innocent on Hacker Sentenced To Longest US Sentence Yet · · Score: 1

    I don't care if someone tried to kill me, as long as they don't.

    I wouldn't care if someone put a gun to my head as long as they don't pull the trigger.

    They are not innocent.

  7. Re:Latest example of a pyramid scheme on Virtual Island Sells For $26,500 · · Score: 1

    Actually I wouldn't call this a pyramid scheme.

    The island has a value, you may think it is silly,
    but people are selling virtual stuff on ebay al the time.

  8. Re:Slightly offtopic on Warzone 2100 Source Liberated · · Score: 1

    That's a great idea.

    If I had time and could program well maybe I would.

    Or you could just let me have some input in your game? :)

  9. Slightly offtopic on Warzone 2100 Source Liberated · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Are there any rts games that put intelligence in the units?

    I know certain ones have improved using auto exploring or workers that find work to do, but so many units in thee games would be great except they need hand holding.

    For instance the spy in RON, you should be able to tell it find city and spy on the buildings, or patrol this area when a units move through convert on of them and then run away!

    Or the queen in starcraft, you should be able to tell the queen to fly around looking for the enemy and parasite them or use the brooding attack, go to home base when energy gets low.

    In one player you can constanly pause, but this kind of takes away the real-time, and you can't pause in multiplayer.

    Are there any rts games that allow scripts for each unit?

  10. Re:Could you display results in a USA Today graph? on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    You are the idiot and the mod who modded you insightful.

    Or maybe just the product of the US school system?

    I wonder why when white people killed Indians it is called genocide?

    But when Native Americans killed Native Americans it is called migration?

  11. Re:Why they have given up on Given Up to Spyware? · · Score: 1

    You have a hard time making friends don't you?

    You have a 6 month Dell computer is front of you.

    It is loaded with spyware and the like. Can't even get on the internet through modem.

    You have no tools, because you are visiting folks over thanksgiving 300 miles away.

    My point is the average person is having a hard time even getting on the internet right now.

    That's funny you say this:

    Mind you they most have their masters or phd, and i know at least 3 of them have their names on rfcs. And one of them is considered the top expert in his field.

  13. Why they have given up on Given Up to Spyware? · · Score: 1

    What's kinda sad is what these people most want to do is e-mail, internet, send/receive pictures, do some basic word processing.

    I reinstalled XP for my aunt who stopping using her pc, within minutes of being on the internet it was getting nailed. I couldn't even download patches.

    It frustrated me and I know what I am doing.
    please no jokes.

  14. Oher areas on Is Some Software Meant to be Secret? · · Score: 1

    Is the open source movement moved to other areas besides software?

    i.e. to me software is no different then books, music, architect plans, recipes, etc

    So does the open source movement want to move into these areas also?

    Or just stick with software?

    Curious i guess.

    I didn't know open source was always more reliable?

    >Not at all. How well one company responds to complaints as compared to another, both in the same industrial sector of the economy. Its totally fair, equal, and revealing.

    No MS has millions and millions of Explorer's out there.

    There is no way they could support everyone who has a question about it.

    You are comparing a free program with a hardware box that can cost in the thousands easily.

  17. Re:Open source with Microsoft funding?? on BusinessWeek On XORP vs. Cisco · · Score: 1

    No, you don't license routing protocols but you do license the software implementation of the protocol.

    Because you seems rather arrogant let me explain.

    SNMP is an open standard but you could license software implementing these standards. Cisco pays a certain company royalties for the SNMP agent in their router like the BFG.

    Be careful who you call the dumbass.

  18. Re:Cisco does more than make good stuff on BusinessWeek On XORP vs. Cisco · · Score: 1

    If you are a big enough customer MS will come and help.

    I have seen it done.
