A geeky bar like this is probably a recipe for disaster...imagine a bunch of nerds getting piss-drunk and then betting each other to go to the Linux console and typing:
su root
rm -rf /
There goes THAT idea...
I don't know...with my luck in that game, I'll end up touching the wrong book and ending up being stuck in some weird prison for the rest of my character's life screaming "Bring me blue paaaages..."
Actually, in the subject of Quake III, a high framerate is really important. The ideal framerate to be at for all points is 125 FPS, since the game's physics aren't based entirely on floating-point math. You can actually get a boost in jumping if your FPS is consistently 125 in Quake III.
To explain, you have to realize that normally, in C or C++, if you convert a floating point number to an integer, it always rounds down. However, Quake's physics engine rounds to the nearest integer due to special routines. The way that Quake jumping works is it's something along the lines of (jump velocity / FPS) for any given frame. So if you run at 125 FPS, you get the little decimal of how high you're going to go each frame to go round up, and you gain jump height.
9. Bring war material with you from home, but forage on the enemy. Thus the army will have food enough for its needs.
15. Hence a wise general makes a point of foraging on the enemy. One cartload of the enemy's provisions is equivalent to twenty of one's own, and likewise a single picul of his provender is equivalent to twenty from one's own store.
I thought Mitnick was out of jail for a long time...wasn't he out but prohibited from using any form of the Internet? And isn't his term of being prohibited from it coming up in the next thirty or so days?
will probably use this mood sensor to detect if the user is pissed so that it simply refuses to show BSODs when that occur...or they'll make it so that when you're happy it shows yellow screens of death that say, "Have a nice day!"
What exactly is the POINT of a waterproof book? Is it so that you can read your book while you're eating/in the pool? Or for disaster recovery? What practical use is there for a waterproof book? If it's for disaster recovery, how many people care about their books enough that they would be like, "Oh no! My house was flooded! But at least I still have my wonderful books..."
Also, sometimes it's good to just stick with the classics...now instead of paper, we have this inorganic stuff...when you go into a library, you experience the smell of all the old books. With this new stuff, goodbye Old Book Scent!
Because we're having a conference on spam to begin with already means that the spammers have won. Besides, what keeps spammers from attending the conference and figuring out how all the spam guarding stuff works?
The RIAA is evil because they buy senators and use them to buy laws that restrict our fundamental freedoms like the Fair Use of copyright law. Also, their copy-protected CDs crashed many machines, and destroyed the firmware on many drives. To add to this, the RIAA is NOW trying to get DRM into every media device and is trying to get laws passed that allow them to hack and DoS your computer so that they can keep you from "pirating" their music. Also, let's not forget their journalistic bullshit, like claiming that 4x CD burners are the equivalent of 4 CD burners.
If someone made that game, I think God himself would have vengeance by having a giant rain of Ts fall from the Heavens to impale everyone involved. Just for the irony. If God was really nasty, he may even use *s or even the dreaded #!

Nah, I always figured that SourceForge was more like Free Parking than Go...oh well.
I mean, it IS sort of like "Free Parking" for aspiring open-source developers who need bandwidth to hold their files and website...
Now that you're done talking about vidio games, how about you talk about video games?
How come more companies don't do the "silent" thing?
The problem is, silence is golden. So therefore, in this poor economy, companies can't pay for the gold required and consumers can't really afford it.

No, for porno mags, we should reimplement "non-stick coating."

After ressuscitating you, did the doctor say, "The Spoonboy LIVES!"

One of the doctors needed to back up his hard drive for a reformatting at home and thought "Oh, if i swipe it for the weekend, nobody'll notice."

...they need to paint it black, put a window on the side, and put neon light sticks inside!
If they're going to take it to the next step, they should have SHRED parties where all they do is show off their l33t 5hr33d1n6 machines.

I've got a couple good name suggestions:
SmallZilla
TinyZilla
but i think the best one would be LessZilla, you know, instead of MO zilla, you'd have Less.
