  1. Re:The Ultimate Game of Poker on Red Hat's Open Source Assurance Program · · Score: 1

    Actually, I'm thinking it's more of a game of Russian Roulette - and there's a full clip in the gun.
    SCO is definitely trying to get someone else to be next.

  2. Hello.. on The Future of Security · · Score: 0, Funny

    Hello, I'll be your Microsoft representative today.
    Our newest software releases - codename "orange clothing" - are fully Secure Computing(tm) enabled, and features Digital Restriction^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hights Management, firewalls and authentication mechanisms built into your hardware.
    You will no longer be troubled by the issues arising with "Open Source", and you are now also able to buy entire server farms straight from us - your beloved Government.

  3. Re:Subtitles of the obvious.. on Atari Shuts Down Legend Entertainment? · · Score: 1

    Right.
    I'm sure it doesn't matter that WoT got the "Action game of the Year" award from Gamespy, back in '99?

    The problem with WoT was that it was too complex for the average gamer.
    You don't want six different shields, you don't want three different ways to stop someone from attacking you.

    Unreal 2 was another matter entirely.
    If you don't have good story-writers, it doesn't matter how much talent the rest of the team has.
    LegendEnt have come up with some really nice gameplay (see WoT's citadel mode, for instance).
    Their skinners, modellers, map makers and scripters are brilliant.
    The soundteam for WoT was awesome (To the point that I bought Andy Frazier's CD with WoT-inspired music)

    I'll most definitely miss Glen, Scott, Mike and all the others from Legend.. and I hope they stay and work in the industry
    Instead of shutting down the studio, they should simply look at getting some real talent for story-development. . .

  4. :P on Does the Military Dominate CS Research? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    HEADSHOT!

    Oh.. wait.. wrong CS :P

  5. Couldn't see this one coming, huh? on 2003: Year of Apache · · Score: 1

    Netcraft confirms. . . ;)

  6. Re:I feel bad for gamecube on Next-Gen Console Rumors Summarized, Discussed · · Score: 1

    (Well, sex, at least the not-electronic kind, is still cooler than gameplay =)

    <gollum>Leave now, and never come back! </gollum>

  7. Re:No Women on Gaming Cafe Scene In Iraq Illustrated · · Score: 3, Informative

    You're wrong.
    I work at a lan cafe, and we regularly have girls ( 15 - 24-ish ) playing during the nightgibs.

  8. Re:Obligatory Opera comment on OmniWeb Announces 5.0 Browser · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sharing bookmarks on a LAN is both great and troublesome. How do you implement this easily and quickly in a Windows environment without Rendezvous?

    You use IE along with a shared directory, since bookmarks are stored as simple files
    *GRIN*!

  9. Re:beige boxes? on Who Wants to be the Next Dell? · · Score: 1

    That said, dell boxes are far from "generic".
    For instance, they have a dos (pc-dos, afaik) based boot-menu, license embedded in the bios and what not.

  10. Re:beige boxes? on Who Wants to be the Next Dell? · · Score: 1

    We have some 90 Dell Dimension 8300 boxes here at work. Black & dark-grey are the only colors they come in, afaik.

  11. Xp2100+.. on Tom's Hardware End of Year CPU Roundup · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, My xp2100+ (1.733Ghz) is currently running at close to 2250MHz (195fsb, 11.5x Multiplier), which is over a 500MHz OC.. I'd call that a pretty nice OC, as it's still only cooled by air. . .

  12. Right.. on Company Offers Disaster-Proof Storage For Records · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's safe from any force known to man, yet here we go, slashdotting their server, making quick on-line retrieval of even the tiniest record impossible.

  13. Re:Robert "No closure" Jordan on Best and Worst Books of 2003? · · Score: 2, Funny

    There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time :P

  14. Re:Crossroads of Twilight (Wheel of Time) sucked.. on Best and Worst Books of 2003? · · Score: 1

    I'm looking forward to the long version of New Spring, due early January.
    It's the first of the prequels jordan is writing - Starting with Rand's birth on Dragonmount.
    Hopefully it'll let Jordan stop getting lost in his own threads for a while.
