http://textfiles.com/ is another fantastic, wonderful resource and window into computer-ages long gone. Check out the top 100 - especially the Captain Midnight story. My kids will be getting this read to them before bedtime some day.
I'm not even taking the time to reply to the grandparent post. I'm sure that he wouldn't take any notice because clearly I am a lesser human being due to my high UID.
I realised a fairly long time ago that geeks are not intellectually superior. They're just obsessed. I suspect that most of these losers beat up on Billy constantly because it's something they can do easily. It makes up for lack of natural skill in worthwhile disciplines.
What the fuck is wrong with you? I don't like Microsoft, I don't run Microsoft products. If you could all stop thinking about CmdrTaco's ass for a moment you might make the time to grasp the very real concept that it isn't just Microsoft fans who hate you freaks.
You don't have to be an MS fan to hate Linux obsessed mindless morons. That just comes naturally. I wouldn't expect somebody displaying the logic in your post to understand that it's possible to like something and hate drooling retards at the same time.
Thousands of pathetic Slashdot sheep are about to get aroused, posting under the influence of Linux superioty and making the same fucking mindless jokes. "Microsoft are ghey" + 5 insightful. You are a sorry bunch of fuckers.
Hmm? I've not actually submitted any stories. I'm just giving examples of the sort of thing which should be covered. You can fuck off and re-acquire that patronising tone when you gain some basic English skills.
How can Slashdot be regarded as a reputable news source when they post some guy's biased top 10 list when stories about an entire record label putting their content up for download, or cases of Internet fraud, etc. are refused?
So I'm guessing that the classic ending of the series back in the Shire is going to be nixed completely? Fuckers. Illiterate, exploitative mother-fuckers.
Why do journalists insist on sticking poorly researched figures in a writeup? Do they think that this somehow makes it all seem more credible? This number is clearly just a count from a virus checker's definition file summary. I bet they failed to include or even comprehend the fact that viruses are not a Windows only thing - heck, game instructions for the Amiga would insist that you hard booted your machine to get rid of potentially evil RAM content type stuff.
I wonder if they'll still use The Eagles - Journey of the Sorceror for the theme.
I had a nightmare about the upcoming movie. I dreamed that Linkin Park covered this song for the soundtrack. I hadn't woken up screaming like that for years. My sheets were wet, and I don't mean with passion.
Because it's a vastly inferior game when compared to the original. Playability was entirely scratched in favour of sticking an oversized geek mascot in there, in turn sacrificing all of the magic, atmosphere, well-designed levels and proportion which made the idea work in the first place.
I can write in the same runes as Tolkien used on his maps. My uncle once wrote me a letter in them, and I had to decode. See! I'm a geek. Really. I am.
You are obviously not enough of a geek to fit in with polite (whatever)/. society.
Read the blurb at the top of the page.
I'm fairly certain i'm not the only one here who studiously memorized the Franz Josef blueprints "just in case".
And if you don't understand that, it's just further proof.
You see, while you were looking at pictures of spaceships which will never exist, I was mastering calculus. You don't have to waste enormous amounts of time on crud to be a geek.
I stand by what I said. There is no Starship Enterprise. There are some Plastic Model Enterprises, and some CG Enterprises, but no actual starships.
Don't get me wrong - I love fiction and escapism, I just think that the line between it and reality should be kept blurred. When you start trying to work out real physical constraints of this stuff and then go to publish it, it sort of spoils the illusion.
Enterprise is designed to enter the atmosphere. It clearly has an aerodynamic shape, which would be unneccesary if it didn't have this purpose. Enterprise enters the atmosphere in several episodes.
Thanks. You've really convinced me that this is useful and intelligent research.

I can see it now, bill gates 1000x's on my screen just looking back at me with a different pose and look on his face.
Stop it. Don't be a moron. Not everything is about Bill Gates and Microsoft. Some of you seem mentally ill in your obsession./p
Yes.
Which reminds me, click here to see hot pics of me sunbathing NAKED in the snow.

So, what's gonna crack it this time? Green felt tip pen? Rubbing a small kitten on the disc? Looking at it funny? Placing sliced cheese on it?
"there are almost 60,000 viruses in existence"

You can dispose of people if you chop them into bits and bury them. There's a rebate opportunity in selling the meaty parts to ethnic restaurants.
God's sitting up there watching, thinking "LMFAO".

I (and probably any Lemmings fan ever) would agree that the series died after Lemmings II. You're certainly not alone there.

Thanks scientists, for destroying the magic behind my favourite game.
Gaelic, right? There's no way I'd be able to translate that. I tried some online dictionaries, but most of the words didn't show up.

More to the point, there is no Starship Enterprise, freak.
