    Second that. My first exposure to ID was Wolfenstein 3D. What came before? Wizardry? Before you jump all over me, I know Wolf 3D wasn't "3D", but I remember it blew me away with the first person point of view.

  2. Re:Yeah on U.S. Jobs, Pay Show Solid Gains in Trump's First Full Month (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Speaking as a business owner, we always tend to hire more in the first quarter of the year. Our productivity suffers between Thanksgiving and the New Year because of all the vacations. It has been this way for us for the last 30-40 years. This isn't news, it's cyclical business behavior.

    It only applies to people from those countries, for now, at least.

    No hurricane? The 10 trees down in my yard (2 of those on my house) after hurricane Matthew seem to suggest otherwise. My town lost around 120000 trees during this non-event, dumbass.

    Thank god for Mother Russia!

  6. The army's on ecstasy, so they say I read all about it in "USA Today" They stepped up urine testing to make it go away 'Cause it's hard to kill the enemy on ol' mdma! Oysterhead

  7. Dubya was funny. This is just gonna be sad.

  8. It's in the name. on User Forks FileZilla FTP Client After Getting Hacked (filezillasecure.com) · · Score: 1

    Just don't use software with "zilla" in the name. With a name like that, it can't be serious.

  9. In some states, shooting the drone operator would be the best option.

  10. Let's just stop calling them editors. Their just super users who can post articles. They probably just post in between captures on Pokemon go. No time to read the submissions.

  11. I believe EMV requires end to end encryption to process chip cards.So, no more credit cards.

    When I read the summary I thought that this was going to be a discussion of how the dems did an end run around the speakers call for recess and started broadcasting via social media. Once again I was disappointed with the direction the discussion on Slashdot took. Someday I'll stop monitoring Slashdot in favour of better discussion. I replied to this post because it seemed to be the first to address the topic of the summary.

  15. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

  16. No, I meant 1990's. Hell, you can buy the damn things on Amazon for crying out loud!

  17. Re:Redundant Systems on FAA Warns of GPS Outages This Month During Mysterious Tests On the West Coast (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Time to dust off the sextant. My father insisted that I learn celestial navigation when I started sailing long distances when I was a teen, but that was back in the early '90's. I also read recently that the US Navy is bringing sextant training as well. Now if I could only find some new charts...

  18. This! mod the parent back up.

  20. 3dfx voodoo card anyone. on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Doom Story? · · Score: 1

    I believe Doom was the beginning of my obsession with video cards. My first introduction to FPS games however began with Wolfenstein3D.

  21. If it's close enough... on Drones Being Used By Peeping Toms, The Military, And Terrorists (newsweek.com) · · Score: 1

    I have been flying RC aircraft and helis for 35 years, or so. I would have never even thought of flying one of my craft anywhere near someone else's property unless I went and talked to the property owner beforehand. Most people didn't care, in fact, and would come out to watch and ask questions. Some were not so receptive and I always respected their wishes as they were the owners of the property, not me. For me, anything that flies below my roof line is fair gain. I would just feign surprise at the improbability of their drone coming down. Proving malicious intent would be impossible. Civil suit? Pardon me while yawn.

  22. those were the days on Uborne Children's Books Release For Free Computer Books From the '80s (usborne.com) · · Score: 2

    I remember a book of basic games for my Apple 2+. After entering page after page of code only to have it not work, we found, the back of the book, a small note about how the authors intentionally left errors in the code that you had to troubleshoot. After what seemed like forever of fixing the code, the games sucked. Nowhere near as good as my Atari 2600 games. Good stuff.

  23. Re:Not a Piece of Shit on POS Vendor Uses Same Short, Numeric Password Non-Stop Since 1990 · · Score: 1

    We have four retail clothing stores. Each store is scanned by the card processor once a quarter. Once a year I have to fill out a Self Assessment Questionnaire which addresses the default password issue among other things. It's a royal pain in the ass. I failed scans in the past for having our systems locked down so tight that the scans were blocked. That seemed ideal to me, but the processor saw it differently. I had to white-list their ip range.

    One of the requirements of PCI compliance with the credit card companies is that you don't use default passwords in any equipment tied to the card transaction.

    Don't blame the American citizen. Blame the half-century war against public education. The foundation makes the house strong.
