  1. woot! on Retro Gaming Gets Hot · · Score: 1, Insightful

    after picking up both a NES (front load :( ) and the mega man anniversary collection, i must agree.

    despite some of the great console titles as of late (beyond good & evil, riddick, front mission 4, etc) it's nice to just sit down and go for score or literally -beat- something in a short span of time.

    now, rerelease gijoe arcade and sunset riders and i'll be happy.

  2. What about the children? on File-Sharing Ethics Taught In Classrooms? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    During our summer vacation this year, my wife and I amused ourselves by taking leisurely drives in Ohio and photographing every diamond-shaped highway sign that we saw along the roadsides. (Well, not every sign; only the distinct ones.) For provenance, I also stood at the base of each sign and measured its GPS coordinates.

    This turned out to be even more fun than a scavenger hunt, so we filled in some gaps when we returned to California, thereby proving my theorem of teaching moral lessons to children on the topic of illegal file sharing, which can be found in LaTeX format on my website.

  5. Re:This theory has already been proven. on BeOS Max Edition v3.0 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Dear avid reader,

    As I get older (and somewhat wiser), I have realized that there is no point in finishing what I had originally thought to be my life's greatest work. I've decided that after giving birth to the brainchild known as TeX, there really wasn't much else I could do.

    I'm far more interested in spending time with my wife, Jill and persuing something I've always wanted to try, bovine mandibular reconstructive surgery.

    After I pass on, the collected notes and annotations that I had previously arranged for the new sections of TAoCP will be released by Penguin Press in softcover form, all proceeds going to the Society of Blind Linux Users (SBLU).

    I apologize for wasting all your time with my extremely long, boring books that have no practical application to modern computing, may God have mercy on my soul.

    Sincerely,

    Donald E. Knuth, Esq.
