  1. Re:I just downloaded Trepia and got... on Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers · · Score: 1

    I get the same thing, but it worked fine the 1st time. I logged out and tried logging back in, but nope. I was automagically not connected to the `net.
    Wierd, and probablly written in VB.

  2. still down??? on Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers · · Score: 1

    Man, the registration server still be down. Its past 20:00 hrs here in Austin, TX and no luck.
    Maybe tomorrow I'll meet all the Goatse fans on this thing.

  3. I want to see pics.. on Play Counter-Strike For Real · · Score: 1

    Of the aftermath. And, what are the rules? NVG? Hearbeat detectors? What about paint-grenades? Tripwires? This could get ugly. But fun, hehehe. We should do something like that over here in the States.

  4. An obvious sign.. on Barbra Streisand, Miss Vermont, And Your Website · · Score: 1

    One day I even took her to a gun range... She was fascinated, and loved it so much she started going on her own, and eventually bought her own pistol.
    Ok, there isn't a bigger "Oh crap" moment in that whole story. Its like Bill Gates handing an AK-47 to the average /.er and saying, "We're cool, so here you go."

  5. Proxy Questions... on Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers · · Score: 1

    Well, being at work, I'm behind a proxy. Any word on a little proxy authentication dealie in the next version? But, I will try this out when I get home.

  6. Perception on Megaman - Network Transmission Analyzed · · Score: 1

    Once, I read that video game companies do make side scollers and such for the newest systems because gamers would say something along the lines of "Hey, my old system could do something like this." But, I'm with you guys. A game should be FUN, no matter what format(Side scroller, FPS, etc) it's in.

  7. I remeber SF1 on Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Site Opens · · Score: 1

    Man, the fireball was insanely powerful. If you could get one of those out, the game was yours.
    Sure, I was a button masher back then, but hey I managed a dragon punch and hurricane kick every now and then.


    You are strong, but remember, there are guys like you all over the world...

    Or something like that IIRC

  8. Wow.. on Konami, Namco, SquareEnix Financial Results · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, hopefully this year will turn out better for everyone(Gamers and Companies alike). Zelda will be on this year's balance sheet and, hopefully the new Gameboy deal for the gamecube will stir up some purchasing.
    As for Konami, I didnt know they had fitness club interests. Imagine if all the gamers you knew were all buff?
    Thinks for a moment..
    Heheh I got some ideas. First, network everything up and have a little card that stores your workout. You insert your card in each machine and work out as usual. Each rep or set is worth some point value. These points add up to stuff in games. Then go home, reap the rewards of you workout on the game. Need more rations for Snake? Bench 175. Need more health, so some sets of 225. Enable the Konami code by running a mile under 6 minutes on the treadmill.
    Of course it can be hacked with this simple implementation, but hey, just an idea.

  9. Re:Rumors of the Death of Nintendo on Nintendo Profits Drop As Gamecube Loses Ground · · Score: 1

    Nintendo will always have people like me. My first system was the Atari 5200, but the controllers crapped out on me with the quickness.
    Then, I moved to the world of Nintendo. There were so many games, and they were (for the most part) all fun. The best analogy I can think of at the moment is Star Wars. We have this story and we know how it turns out(Anakin == Darth Vader, Link kicks gannons ass, etc). But the story itself keeps us coming back to see the newest thing(The master sword lost its Mojo??). Plus, chapters in the story are separated by large gaps of time, so we wonder what exaclty will happen next.

  10. Excellent IDE on Summary of JDK1.5 Language Changes · · Score: 1

    If you want a lightweight IDE, look at JCreator. There is a free version here!

  11. Re:Player one? on Final Fantasy - Crystal Chronicles GC Details · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they'll come up with some sort of adapter? I would suck if by buddies didnt have their own "secret screen" with them. But, It sounds good!

  12. Looks good on US Shmup Ports - Ikaruga Vs. MLF2? · · Score: 1

    I saw this game at best buy the other day and it looked interesting. Maybe I'll rent it some time to see if its worth owning. I can remember many an afternoon, after school, playing Life Force. Anyone remember Mr. Brain with arms? Mr. Pharoh head. Crazy Skull with eyballs man? That was a fun game! Maybe this game will rekindle those feelings.

  13. Just got a call on Texas SB 1116 (Super DMCA) Hearing On 6 May 2003 · · Score: 1

    I just got a call from a rep down at the capitol. They want me to go down and fill out a card stating my position. I can't at the moment, so they will just add my fax to the record, but my name will not be read out during the proceedings. I don't know what that means, exactly because, of course IANAL.

  14. Here is a letter from EFF on Texas SB 1116 (Super DMCA) Hearing On 6 May 2003 · · Score: 1

    Just follow the link and print it out or have them mail it.

  15. Action now! on Texas SB 1116 (Super DMCA) Hearing On 6 May 2003 · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have good links for flyers we can print up and post in and around UT and ACC campuses? Also, does anyone have a pre-filled out form we can use to fax our representatives or to this committee? You know, something written with some legales thrown in?

  16. Quote the article.. on Students Get iPods as Study Aids · · Score: 5, Funny

    "I not only use it for class assignments but for personal use as well." I wonder what kind of personal use this dude was talking about? Surely not the 17,000 over the next 3 years kind?

  17. Resident Evil Online on E3 Game Line-Ups - Part Two · · Score: 1

    As you guys all know, I am hardcore Nintendo, but Resident Evil online may be the game that makes me buy a PS2. Along with rumored price breaks, it makes the system more attractive.

  18. Just bring it! on Evolution 2K3 - Huge US Fighting Game Tournament · · Score: 1

    Me and Ken in the blue suit or Zangief in the green underwear will have all of you begging for mercy.

  19. Re:So many hours.. on Metal Gear Solid for GameCube Announced · · Score: 1

    I totally agree. My SNES is dead and has not lived for the past 2 years. But with ZNES I can relive those memories again! Now, getting a rom or 2 with 50 pop ups. Thats a challenge.

  20. Re:This is a good review on Review of SuSE 8.2 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sorry, I only listen to reviews from Eugenia. Thats why I still run windows 3.11!

  21. So many hours.. on Metal Gear Solid for GameCube Announced · · Score: 1

    While I was in college, my brother had a PS1 back home in Houston. When I would go home for a break or a weekend, it was MGS all day for me. What a waste of a weekend! I should have been boozing it up with my buddies.

    I'm glad they are releasing it for Gamecube, but I hope they throw in some extras. Since I've played and beaten the game several times, in near record time, I hope they throw in some cool extras(multiplayer? Special traning missions? Alternate endings besides the 2 standard ones? ) Just some thoughts.

  22. Wow.. on Doom 3 Q&A Gives More Gameplay Details · · Score: 1

    I really want this game. Sadly, none of my systems could ever hope to run this beast in a million years

    333 Toshiba Celery 256MB Ram 66GB HDD Integrated video

    Wha! I'll wait for the gamecube version.

    What happened to the AC Option?

  23. Bad times for Nintendo... on US Console Price Drops Widely Rumored · · Score: 1

    Wow, I can't believe that. That would make Nintendo's consloe of the moment the same price as a GBA SP!! I can't believe that its come to this. Hopefully, this will spur a purchasing surge to help Nintendo out.
    Total speculation, but what if they go the way of Sega and release their titles for other systems? I hope they keep the GBA, though.

  24. Timekeeper on Other Sources of the "Slashdot Effect"? · · Score: 1

    At the job, we don't do time cards or anything like that. Our timekeeper Kronos is web based. So, you can guess what happens around 17:00. Then again around 18:00. And again, around 19:00

  25. That thing is huge. on New Nintendo Hardware Announced · · Score: 1

    I just can't see myself getting an eReader. There is potential for the thing, but If I want to play some NES games, I'll play my NES. Its much more convenient than playing a NES game on my GBA with a big frikin thing on the top.
    Every one knows I love Nintendo, but this thing... No thanks.
