  1. How did the police identify him? on Florida Surveillance Cameras Claim a Victim · · Score: 1

    They had a photo of a man who was sitting at a cafe in Tamapa. The police were then able to track him down?

    What was the connection? The name the wife would of accused him with would not have matched up. If his name was linked to the photo wouldn't he of questioned where the photo was going to be used?

    This doesn't sound quite right somehow. Can anyone offer some insight?

  2. Big Floating Heads on Worlds.com Patents Quake-like Games? Kinda. · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of a chat program I once used years ago.

    Where each person's "avatar" was a big yellow smiley head. There were also floating voice bubbles above them if i remember correctly.

    Any one remember more than I about this?

  3. Re:Headlines: Open Universe on New Evidence for Open Universe · · Score: 1

    I believe the earth is following up with evidence of prior art, dating to 12 billions years before SGI.

  4. Re:Dreamcast on Dreamcast Postmortem · · Score: 1

    I really dont think it is artifical hype.

    Yes they have(are going to) create a media frenzy over this. But a system still needs software, those "killer apps". Current xbox has two that I can see... Halo and Abe.

    Dreamcast didn't have any console specific apps to push the sales. I'm sure the hard was decent but there wasn't enough support from the software design community

  5. Big Country Star on Coming Soon: Burn-Proof CDs · · Score: 1

    And we all know how a big of a problem with country music being ripped and sent accross the internet.

    If they had tried this with a new MnM cd I could see that the h4x0rs would start to complain. I dont think that this cd will have the clint base to properly test the "burn proof" feature though

  6. Re:Much cheaper than 25 cents on the dollar on Iridium Returns From The Dead. Again. · · Score: 1

    1/4 of a cent on the dollar, not a 1/4 dollar

  7. Actually on Another Solar Storm Approaching · · Score: 2

    The last time the sun was in it's peak flare zone like this was back in 1989. The sun has 11 years cycles of activity. It took out most of quebec's power grid almost 6 million people were without power for awhile.
