  1. Re:It wasn't a melt-down on Latest Chernobyl Motorcycle Photos · · Score: 1

    There was a steam explosion that exposed the core, which caused the graphite to catch fire.

  2. Re:Soaking up the gamma on Latest Chernobyl Motorcycle Photos · · Score: 1

    There's a lot of information here.

  3. Re:No cell phone coverage either on Latest Chernobyl Motorcycle Photos · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not as alone as you would imagine. They give regular tours of the exclusion areas. The devlopers of the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R have travelled there twice taking pictures. They explain a lot about the processes of getting there and what is safe to go to. Pictures are here. I find how close they go to actual power plant to be a little unsettling.

    aha, you'd have a point if I had one sir.

  5. Re:Bernie Stolar on GameOn New York Consumer Show To Debut In November · · Score: 1

    He is one horrible business man. Without even being one myself I could tell those were stupid decisions, and at the time I was about 17.

  6. Bernie Stolar on GameOn New York Consumer Show To Debut In November · · Score: 1

    BOOOO Bernie Stolar BOOOO Quite possibly the one person most repsonsible for Sega no longer making hardware, and the horrible Sega Saturn performance in America. By the time they borked that, Dreamcast was doomed to fail in most customers eyes. Probably offtopic.

  7. Re:loyalty cards on RFID Coming 'Whether You Like It Or Not' · · Score: 1

    Every application I've ever filled out for loyality cards has been under the name "Otis Spunkmeyer".

  8. Re:loyalty cards on RFID Coming 'Whether You Like It Or Not' · · Score: 1

    So much for all the tags Albertson's had all over the store saying you didn't need a card to get the "savings" a few years back.

  9. Re:it is true on RFID Coming 'Whether You Like It Or Not' · · Score: 1

    Oh no, keep working on it. Make sure it kills those f'n direct connection phones that every idiot in malls use.

    There's some technical information on the PS2 here.

  11. Re:A point each way. on Mozilla 1.7 Beta Is Faster And Smaller · · Score: 1

    The latest MSN Explorer, has built in popup blocking, and a Longhorn-like GUI.

  12. Re:S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on Do Videogames Need More Graphical Grit? · · Score: 1

    That was also one of the worst screenshots from that game he could have posted. Check out a few more shots of that game, which is still an alpha.

  13. Re:Good Point on U.S. Prepares to Get Nuked · · Score: 1

    There was a comercial on earlier about how Bush was fighting terrorism, and keeping America safe.

  14. It's quiet on The Psychology Behind Headphones · · Score: 1

    I often find myself sitting at my pc with my headphones on, and no music playing. People tend to not try to talk to me this way.

  15. Vapors. on Infinium Targets Gamers For Stock Purchase After Split · · Score: 1

    Can I use Monopoly money for this?

  16. Re:No more imagination.. on War of the Worlds Remake · · Score: 1

    You do realize that if he remade it, every scene would be in front of a blue screen and have JarJar all over it?

  17. Re:XP: Impractical Not to Run as Admin on PhatBot Trojan Spreading Rapidly On Windows PCs · · Score: 1

    Warcraft III does this.

  18. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong... on Overclocking Your Sega Genesis/MegaDrive · · Score: 2, Funny

    I liked to think of the slowdown on Metal Slug for Saturn as adding to the excitement. Kind of like an action movie.

  19. Re:And this is good? on Overclocking Your Sega Genesis/MegaDrive · · Score: 1

    There is a video on the website showing Ecco the Dolphin.

  20. Re:The list of channels in play... on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 1

    I was getting the message on Spike TV on Comcast as well.

  21. Edited for later use. on Return of the King Coming Sooner to DVD · · Score: 1

    I kind of felt like I was watching a butchered movie when I did finally see RoTK. I could almost pick out the parts that would be in the extended version.

  22. Several forms in Triplicate. on Paranoia RPG Returns in New Edition · · Score: 1

    The expansion mission with the triplicate applications was the best. Be on the look out for small brown agents in trees talking into devices.

  23. Re:Bring back old-school arcades/games. on State of the U.S. Arcade Industry 2004 · · Score: 1

    Omaha Nebraska has a nice arcade gaming scene. Street Fighter is where most of the non-dance game action is at now days though.

  24. Re:I think on KDE 3.2-beta2 - Towards a Better KDE? · · Score: 1

    You nailed my begining experiences on the head there. I "broke" the OS a few times at first, then was scared to mess with anything. After a while I started changing widgets and messing with icons. I learned things this way. Having no outside help at all, this felt like a pretty big acomplishment. I never really felt there were too many options in those menus, just that they were buried.
    It's a slow process to learn something new for some people, and these minor factors are nice and encouraging.

  25. Re:RIAA & SCO - Amazing Parallels on RIAA Settles With 12-Year-Old Downloader · · Score: 1

    I'm glad that I'm not the only to notice this.
