  1. Re:1980s? on Robosaurus · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yup I saw it too, years ago... maybe 13 years ago at a monster truck rally at Angel stadium. The thing is huge in person...

  2. Stupid computer trick... on BASIC Computer Language Turns 40 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Man i forgot about basic.. it is annoying that I can still write in it. 10 rem piss of teacher 20 for x= 1 to 10000 30 if x = 10000 then goto 60 40 next x 50 goto 20 60 ?

I would write this at the end of class turn off the monitor and sometime during the next class period the computer would start beeping constantle.. wow I am a dork...

  3. PAIN.... on Quake II In Full Motion Stereogram 3D Engine · · Score: 1

    I already have headaches... although I can think of some great applications for this... esp with some tweaks... get your brainstorm out now!

    I use http://www.versiontracker.com to find all my software... I found these gems all freeware for you. Pocket voice recorder Sound recorder And the total search with "shareware" is Hope this helps

  5. EA and closing MMORPG's on EA's Earth and Beyond MMOG To Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Ea had a winner on there hands with Motor City online a heck of a MMOPRG, that allowed you to build and race classic american cars against other people. The physics models where some of the best I have ever experienced. But they closed down even with 20,000 members at 20 a month. This engine could easily have spawned a Nascar or riceburner version that would have made EA more money but they closed it down and shelved it. Sure people wanted the server apps so indepencent servers could be created. But EA just developes and then kills before things come to full completion. Does anyone know how many subs E and B had?

  6. Re:Free copies to other MMOs on EA's Earth and Beyond MMOG To Shut Down · · Score: 1

    They did the same thing when they closed Motor City Online.

  7. Well not much of a difference on Doom - The Board Game Announced · · Score: 0, Troll

    Since the original Doom was basically 2d anyway.

  8. I might have to RPG again on GURPS 4th Edition RPG Announced · · Score: 3, Funny

    What other system allowed for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to battle my Dwarf Mage Bruticus?

  9. 400gb HAH on Hitachi Announces 400GB Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    My drive has 540gb after the new ghost trick! I am glad to see they are finally using all that unused space!

  10. Re:hmmm on Yet Another PC-Mac Case Mod · · Score: 1

    hmmm Things to do with the old apple II clone and IIgs in my garage. Although a part of me wants to hold onto the IIGS as a potential collectors item. But that old commie 64 case might have enough room... I wonder how the keyboard was wired in that.

  11. Suprised on ExtremeTech Wages War of the Codecs · · Score: 2, Informative

    I am very suprised that the Sorenson ended up so bad. Generally when you watch Soreneson encoded stuff it is very very clean... IE most movie trailers. I remember the very first few of Sorenson on an apple 8.5 cd with a Bare Naked Ladies video, we blew that thing up and stop framed and found almost no artification. Generally I use sorenson, and end up with much better results.

  12. WHY? on Killing The Fun - Cheating In Online Games · · Score: 1

    Why is it that in UT 15 kills is monster kill, In quake it is Uber kill and in Counter-strike it is Kicked By Console? No offense cheaters blow, look how many games have been ruined...

  13. Well my theory on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 1

    They burned on Mr. Jackson as he was a hell of a guy... Ok just kidding. The ink has metals in and should I would think tend to heat up faster then other parts of the bill. Hence causing Jackson to blush.

  14. Re:I don't care... on US Army Scraps Comanche Helicopter · · Score: 1

    yeah like cancled years ago... For the most part they are all in reserve squads...
