  1. Games for what? on Why Aren't More Linux Users Gamers? · · Score: 1

    I already have Linux, don't need other games!!! :)

    Seriously, IMHO the real problem is a general lack of interesting games...
    Why bother with driver hunting / S.O. tainting and so on?

  2. This is... on D&D Co-Creator Gary Gygax Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    This is (dice rolls on table, showing a failure) an horrible day for us all :(

  3. Planescape: Torment on Twelve Game Music Tracks Worth Keeping · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I think that "Planescape: Torment" also had some beautiful music tracks. Among my favourite themes: the main theme, the "smoldering corpse" and the credits (really different from others, but still "right atmosphere").

  4. Re:Italian Day at /.? on Italian Judge Tells HP To Refund Pre-Installed XP · · Score: 1

    So, you are not considering Ferrari, Ducati and other "mechanical devices" builders... Maybe you are more familiar with space, so you already know things like the main antenna of Cassini spaceprobe, or the logistic modules for ISS, or like anyone of the italian contribution to space exploration (but you are not remembering these now). Maybe you just aimed at getting a straight "Funny" using some readly available stereotypes...

  5. Each student in Italy? Ehm, no! on Star Wars Takes Over Harvard Commencement · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm an italian student. For sake of precision, is not correct that EACH student in Italy must learn latin...
    In fact latin is mandatory only in "licei", the non-technical secondary schools (maybe the most popoulos, i don't known).
    Note that the vast majority of students in scientific (math, physics, chemistry, etc) and technical (engineering, architecture,...) faculties in Italy come from licei, so in fact most of "scientist" and engineers in Italy known latin.

  6. European warraty laws on Dell Thinks Ubuntu Makes Hardware More Fragile? · · Score: 1

    I think in Europe there is a law forcing companies to at least give a 2 years warranty on electronic consumer products. Anyone better informed?

  7. Re:ESA? on ESA Names New President · · Score: 1

    No, at least we are two! :)

  8. Temperate yes, but not warm water... on 26 Common Climate Myths Debunked · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that a relevant part of warmer climate in europe is caused by air circulation over oceans. After all, Seattle is warm enough without an equivalent of the Gulf Stream from mexico, right?
    (note: i'm not from Seattle :) )

  9. Re:This is (now) a famous number-theory integer! on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    Once i've read of a demonstration of non-existence for non-interesting numbers.
    For what i remember:
    * a number with a "special" property is an interesting number (like 1729)
    * a number without a "special" property is a non-interesting number
    * BUT if you found a number without a "special" property, then you have found the FIRST non-interesting number
    * so, now you have a number WITH a "special" property! It is the FIRST non-interesting number!!!
    :) (Note: i'm not an english mothertongue, so please grammar nazi don't kill me!)

  10. Why only fantasy considered? on The History of Computer RPGs · · Score: 1

    Why only fantasy is considered? Where is SF CRPG? Don't tell me SF CRPG did not exist back in 90'.
    As example, i played Frontier - Elite 2 on Amiga back in 1993
    I presume it was a RPG, but it was sold as space-combat-trading game.
    But, if you think a GALAXY of 100000000000000 star system is not big enough to make an RPG...
    3D real-time graphics, details from galaxy to clock tower in your city (on Mars), newtonian physics and much more... on just 600KB...
    Argh, where is UAE? I'm in dire need now!

  11. Re:You don't? on How Do You Advocate Linux in 5 Minutes? · · Score: 1

    "We still foam at the mouth." Who modded him fun? There's no fun at all! (Sadly foaming)
