  1. Re:In short... on Doom 3 vs. Half Life 2 · · Score: 1

    Didn't know that (obviously).

    Thanks.

  2. Re:In short... on Doom 3 vs. Half Life 2 · · Score: 1

    I'm about 95% sure that Valve didn't licence anything from iD to make Half-life. However, if I'm wrong, I would really like to read the articles that you link to that say so. ;)

  3. Ongoing wagers on Vivendi Jilts WoW CE Pre-order Customers · · Score: 5, Funny

    There must be an ongoing wager as to who can get the most bad PR for Vivendi. "Hmm... I see your HL2/Steam and raise you a WoW ripoff."

  6. Re:Or better yet... on Transgaming to Support Half Life 2 Under Linux · · Score: 1

    OpenGL is one part of the things that need to be ported. Sound and input also need to be dealt with, and probably on a much lesser scale, networking (the implimentations are probably almost exactly the same at the API level that the game developers would be working with).

  7. Re:Or better yet... on Transgaming to Support Half Life 2 Under Linux · · Score: 1

    If it was written in half-decent object-oriented-code, it really wouldn't be all that tough. I mean, they did it with the first one, and that one even had a software renderer.

    Yeah, they're stress testing them after an upgrade ;)

  9. Crap on Your Halo 2 Stats Via RSS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This just makes it really easy for those hugeass php script forum sig images with everybodies l33t stats in them. *Sigh*

  10. Re:Well, if not on Can Reverse Engineering Help In Stopping Worms? · · Score: 1

    FYI: Viruses

  11. Re:Take me with you on Downhillbattle.org Bounty For P2P Gaim Plug-in · · Score: 1

    You fill in all the information and press 'register' (instead of 'okay'). If this is hard for you, then I guess you must have got a friend to make your slashdot account for you.

  12. Fixed Links: on MSN Search Roundup · · Score: 1

    Took out the unneeded crap from the google search and changed it to .com.

  13. Re:BTW... on Halo 2 Released · · Score: 1

    I think I may have that video, in DVD format. Email me.

  14. Re:I hope they improved the AI on Halo 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Have you even played Halo on the PC? The AI is the same. While the marines in the back may not be as good as a human coop buddy (which Microsoft did rip us off on with the PC version), they most certainly did not just "spin around firing randomly".

    Just a couple of examples.

  16. Re:Why are they doing this? on Microsoft Just Wants a Little Look · · Score: 5, Informative

    Because there is actually a way to generate a new key so that you look at least somewhat legit. At least enough to let you update, install service packs, the whole deal, as far as anyone can tell. If Microsoft knows you're a pirate... that's anyone's guess.

  17. Re:Pure speculation on Google-branded Firefox? · · Score: 1

    Would that be legal? Mozilla and such is GPL isn't it?

  18. Re:Any Reasons to get it? on Linux 2.6.9 Released · · Score: 1

    Copy over your old 2.4 .config to the new 2.6 source directory and run make oldconfig. Has always worked for me. Good luck.

  19. Re:This sounds promising on Jet Engine on a Chip · · Score: 1

    Nuclear power?

    I'm pretty sure that was an AOL commercial...

  21. Re:I wonder if the hardware specs are the same... on Doom 3 for Linux Released · · Score: 1

    Seriously, you should have just slapped them right there for calling them 'virii'. The word is VIRUSES. I hate that even more than I hate the misuse of the word their/there/they're and your/you're.

  22. Re:The perfect DOOM script wich can really work on Doom Movie Scriptwriter Dave Callaham Interviewed · · Score: 1

    That would actaully be an interesting movie. It would be "how are they going to own those suckers this time?" instead of "who is going to fuck up next?". Nice job :)
