  1. Re:Those were the days. on Licensing Likenesses For Sports Games · · Score: 1

    Don't forget SF QB#16.

    He was amazing!

  2. Hilarity ensues. on Deee-lite Singer Sues Sega Over Space Channel 5 · · Score: 1

    "The similarities and likenesses are so close that viewers, listeners, and consumers were and are confused or likely to become confused between Ulala and plaintiff."

    and if anyone actually remembered the plaintiff, then that would be possible.

  3. Re:Awesome, on Classic BBS 'Door Games' Reborn · · Score: 1

    Yes.. my 2400 baud modem and the glory that was deciphering ansi.

    It's a.... fish.... flying..... no... a guy... with a sword?.... no.... Oh... It says Lord. Neat.

  4. Re:Trade Wars on Classic BBS 'Door Games' Reborn · · Score: 1

    Yes, but they you wouldn't be able to buy that nice Imperial Starship.

    *drool*

  5. Could you define that in American Values? on Belgium To Tax Rewritable CDs · · Score: 0

    I'm sure that whatever ammount it was akin to would be too much, I'm just rather curious.

  6. Re:You mean Legend of Red Dragon on Classic BBS 'Door Games' Reborn · · Score: 1

    A post is all the more entertaining when someone goes out of their way to explain, and link intricate details about it, and they are catastrophicly out of touch.

    I would mod up funny if I had such an ability.

    (Which is probably why I do not.)

  7. Re:Question regarding door games on Classic BBS 'Door Games' Reborn · · Score: 1

    Global wars was amazing. I was into the obvious choices, but I remember Global wars as being perfect. I was never particularly good at it, but I would play multiple games every day.

    A few years ago, I conjured up that I would log on to a few telnet bbs' and play games.

    Not as much fun.

    I think there is something to the automatic call back, with your modem on recieve to verify you, that makes door games seem all the more fun.

  8. Atari! on Announcing Games.slashdot.org · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think that as a group we will agree that the Dreamcast was the best console, but whenever put to the question, or defense we will cite the Atari, or a collection of door games as being the true backbone of our civilization.

    We will also praise the game civilization.

    That is all.

  9. Question regarding door games on Classic BBS 'Door Games' Reborn · · Score: 1

    My favourite door game was a rip off of Risk. What was it called?

  10. Re:Trade Wars on Classic BBS 'Door Games' Reborn · · Score: 1

    1 node bbs' were horrid for tradewars!

    I would dial 200+ times to get in. Auto dialer screaming away trying to slide in before the bbs turned over.

    and place 1000's of toll fighters to frustrate the newbs.

  11. Re:yes.. but they'll never bring this one back on Classic BBS 'Door Games' Reborn · · Score: 1

    I remember very well. Betting all of my credits away before taking my turns in lord was a bad move, but I wanted more Tradewars time.

    What are you gonna do?

  12. Re:There's a boycott on Penny Arcade vs. American Greetings · · Score: 1

    I have spent about $250-$300 on their products since January 1st. I will spend no more.

    Seems simple enough.

  13. Re:Zack: "Time Out" on Venezuela Falling Behind · · Score: 1

    And they can find him Teaching Chess. If only the Venezuelan would focus on the issues.

  14. Re:Civ 3 Syndrome on Master of Orion 3 Released · · Score: 1

    I disagree entirely. I run with 100's of workers. Have never had this problem.

    I use PTW. Huge Maps.

  15. What is the point of these cost comparisons? on Windows vs. Unix Revisited · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've seen several of these on slashdot. The only cost comparison I need to know is.

    Windows costs me money.

    Linux doesn't.

  16. yes on Master of Orion 3 Released · · Score: 1

    1 copy of civ 3. 2 copies of civ 3 ptw.

  17. Re:Civ 3 Syndrome on Master of Orion 3 Released · · Score: 1

    Explain. I have a computer with 1.7 ghz, and i have no such problem. (and I play Play the world*online version* as host.)

  18. Re:You got tanks? on Master of Orion 3 Released · · Score: 1

    You needed to adjust your science rate. You do this in the advisor screen. You turn down science, increase taxes and you have more money.

    Or what I do.. increase science rate, and avoid bulding building until i have to.

  19. No, No, They are... on Network Associates Loses Battle to Silence Reviewers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At least both sides get posted here at slashdot. The courts are generally terrible at following logic as it adheres to computers, because each individual judge is not the most computer savy.

    They use comparitive laws usually to side with one side or another (that, and corperate pandering), and comparitive laws in other fields don't apply.

  20. God I love the smell of Lawsuits in the morning. on Hiding Your Choices And Saying You Made Them · · Score: 1

    Even though the Indiana law makers have ABSOLUTLY no idea what they are doing, they are passing a law very quickly to allow me to get 300$ for each time I recieve a spam that is deceptive in ANY way, if I can track them down.

    All of the news organizations here have stated that no one expects them to use the law, citing it being near impossible for anyone to track them down.

    We'll see about that.

    (This is somewhat on topic.)

  21. What I would have said, if i didn't actually have on MandrakeSoft Files for Bankruptcy Protection · · Score: 1

    to work sometimes.

    Exactly. You are right on, mandrake serves a perfect niche, and was wonderful as my first install.

    It picked up everything I had on first load. No other distro has, and I still can't get a sound card to work under Slackware.

    Back to work!

  22. Re:EVER?! on Disney Wins, Eldred (and everyone else) Loses · · Score: 1

    I just noticed how badly this message sounded. I'm trying to convey my utter discontent with the current direction we are headed in many facets.

    I don't know why it still amazes me when I see something that seems so obviously sided one way. I guess that is just my idealism (read: youth)

    and I'm working... so I'm not as articulate as I would normally be.

  23. EVER?! on Disney Wins, Eldred (and everyone else) Loses · · Score: 1

    Please say you meant "Double" or "Triple" the current length of time.

    Haha.. Catch those typos... *shifts eyes around..*

    The Supreme Court is usually the one to stop extremely ignorant legistlation.

    What happened?!?!?!

  24. Re:A common verb like *what*? on Honeymoon Over For Google? · · Score: 1

    "Xerox me that memo", and "Googled for that information" are so common in my office building it's sick.

  25. We have a don't call list in Indiana on Tauzin To Delay National "Do Not Call" List · · Score: 1

    And it rocks. The only problem is that for some odd reason, churches and police officers are exempt. I think there are a couple other groups, but since I've been put on the list, i haven't been called by a telemarketer.

    Not once.

    This was a few years ago too.
