  1. Re:May I suggest on Microsoft Acquires Winternals and Sysinternals · · Score: 1

    okay, this is a week old so nobody will see this post, but the above wget doesn't (at least for me) fetch any of the useful stuff. i use:

    wget -w 2 --limit-rate=5k -nc -r -l inf -H -k --no-remove-listing -X /video,/Video,/Chat,/forum,/Forum,/blog -R .wmv,.gif,.jpg --exclude-domains forum.sysinternals.com --domains www.sysinternals.com,download.sysinternals.com http://www.sysinternals.com/SysinternalsSiteMap.ht ml

    if you want the various screenshots, lose the '.gif,.jpg' from the -R arg.

  2. link on Terrible Games From A Terrible Year · · Score: 1

    either zonk spazzed on the link, or seanbaby's writing style has changed dramatically.

  3. Re:Torrent Available on LiveCD Lets You Try Out Project Looking Glass · · Score: 1

    The reason to want an MD5 of the original file is so that you can verify that the file you downloaded via the torrent is the same file and not a trojan.

  4. Re:ISO download sites on The NeXT-Best Thing: GNUSTEP 0.9.4 Live CD · · Score: 1

    actually, the only torrents there appear to be for the 0.5 version, not the 0.9.4 version. you were right the first time.

  5. Re:word choice? on Disc Writers Now Print the Label Too · · Score: 1

    should have been caught by an editor, presumably. the "(word choice?)" mark indicated that the writer or translator or copy editor or somebody didn't think "specialist" is correct; indeed, "specialized" is probably what was intended.

  6. real artists on 3D Modelling for Kids · · Score: 2, Funny

    i suspect real artists will model the same way they do today: nude.

  7. Re:LucasArts... on Sam and Max Revival? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why don't they make games like DOTT anymore?
    aside from the obvious reason (they don't sell enough copies to justify the investment), there are other issues that come into play. really i think the primary one is brand dilution; if lucasarts wants to be seen as a top-tier publisher, they can't release anything less than top-tier titles. and no matter how fun, funny, beautiful, or otherwise wonderful they could possibly be, 2-d point-and-click adventure games will never be marquee titles any more.

  8. Re:A bit of editing would have helped on Mysterious Force Affects Pioneer 10 & 11 Probes · · Score: 1

    Actually, "effect" is a perfectly good verb. It means "to bring about" or "to cause". I assume that the article is about the Pioneer 10 & 11 probes being mysteriously brought forth from nothingness. Really, I assume that.
