  1. Well, at least DROD does... on 2005 Independent Game of the Year Awards · · Score: 1

    DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold has a native Linux version. A FreeBSD version and a Mac version are also in the works. Go to http://www.caravelgames.com/Articles/Games_2/Downl oadJtRH.html to download Windows, Linux, or Mac demos.

  2. I took it one step further... on Did You Really Want To Read That Spam? · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... and created a new email address for myself, and not only do I not let my address get out to stupid places on the net, I didn't give it to a single person! I have yet, in 8+ months, to get a *single* email sent to that account. Ha! Take that, you spammer bastards.

  3. Re:CGI to the rescue? on Spider-Man Has Back Problems · · Score: 1

    Jurassic Park?? Huh? You must have her confused with Ariana Richards

  4. Here's how to fix the patent process on Interwoven Patents Code Versioning · · Score: 3, Funny

    Every patent that is filed for is posted on slashdot. If nobody says "I was doing this back in...", then they get the patent.

  5. Need a "Porn" key on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 1

    'Nuff said.

  6. Re:I hope for the sake of our boys on Bush Orders Guidelines for Cyber-Warfare · · Score: 1

    If they *are* hooked up to the internet, and someone finds their IP, just post it here on slashdot and they'll be instantly defenseless.

  7. Seems these assholes should change their name... on World's Most Annoying IE Toolbar · · Score: 1

    to Xuranus...

  8. As much as I respect supporting retarded children, on Snood, the Simple Game · · Score: 1

    I don't think I'd have them creating the art for my game. I know, I know, it's not about how good a game LOOKS... but where there are a million other games out there that play JUST LIKE THIS one, it's not worth my time to play it unless it has something the others don't.

  9. Re:Not an indie design success story on Snood, the Simple Game · · Score: 1
    If you want a more original puzzle game, try out Deadly Rooms of Death. Great game, it will take you a very very long time to complete if you've never played it before.

    It's even on sourceforge if you have some free time and some coding skills.

  10. If you do have a Radeon 9700... on DirectX 9 Finally Out · · Score: 4, Informative

    Download the latest drivers, then download the demos. They're nothing short of incredible. The Animusic one is spectacular.

  11. Re:United Parcel Service on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    I'm a vegetarian, so that wouldn't appeal much to me. Do you know if they had alternatives for their vegetarian employees? Perhaps even something that wouldn't offend them? Just curious.

  12. Re:Wrong on The Poetry Of Programming · · Score: 1
    Similarly, there are millions of different computer configurations out there. Different OSes, service packs, hardware, drivers, etc.

    Writing software is like building a bridge that can be move from location to location without any modifications.

  13. Security? on System Optimization Guide for Gamers · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I love one of his first suggestions -

    "I recommend only one account (the Administrator) for fastest performance... If you have only one User account (as recommended above) and you leave your password field blank you shouldn't be prompted for a username and password each time you bootup XP. This is the fast way to bootup."

    So only have one account, the Administrator account, use it all the time, and don't put a password on it. Great advice.

  14. Those of you who wish SC3 was more like SC2... on Star Control 2 Released Under the GPL · · Score: 1

    Go to the Star Control Timewarp to see a group of people trying to make, from scratch, a worthy successor to Star Control 2. It currently has a working Melee game, and the full single player game is in the works.

  15. Re:*looks* fantastic! on Star Trek Nemesis Preview Online · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, but for a Voyager movie, the crew could go back out for a ride on the Minnow II... er.. the Voyager.. II? and get lost in the Delta Quadrant again!

  16. Re:Stupid moron! on Ask William Shatner · · Score: 1
    You're mixing up "Star Wars", which is imaginary, with "Star Trek", which everybody knows is real! That's like saying Superman can beat up Jesus! It's a total non-sequiter
    What???!?! You mean Superman is real?
  17. Re:The reason... on Microsoft Loses $177m on Xbox in Three Months · · Score: 1

    I don't want to downplay the Linux effect, but I'm sure people using mod chips or buying an Xbox as a DVD player have made more of an impact.

  18. Re:Makes me sick! on Russians Reveal Early Death of Laika · · Score: 1
    You may think that science benefits from animal cruelty the most, but they're also more cruel to animals than you can imagine.

    This is how wonderful science is to animals.

  19. Re:If you have an XBox... on DivX DVD Players Arrive · · Score: 1

    Of course, depending on the brand of DVD drive that comes in your Xbox, you may or may not be able to read anything burned to a CD-R. Sure, there are other ways to get your movies to your Xbox, but if I've got a collection of 100 DivX movies on CD-R....

  20. In other news on Nobel Prizes for Physics Awarded to Smart People · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Fire burns, and water is wet!

  21. Warning to all males on ATi's All In Wonder Radeon 9700 Pro · · Score: 5, Funny

    Beware - owning this will be a DEAD giveaway that you have a very, very tiny penis.

  22. Re:Porno. on AMD's Athlon XP 2700+ · · Score: 1

    Just be sure to wash your hands before putting your hands back on that fast computer.

  23. Re:To be honest on Hotmail: Not Safe For Work? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, you shouldn't be "cracking one off", you should be working. To compensate for your slacking off, your company will take ownership of any an all "output" you create while on the toilet.

  24. Re:Garage door war driving... on Warflying: San Diego · · Score: 1

    Doesn't everybody live at home by definition?

  25. Re:Hi Res on Follow Internet2's Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Although the pics are very high-rs, apparently Internet2 is very blurry.
