  1. Fable1/2 tried on Simulating Emotions Within Games · · Score: 0

    Games like Fable 1 and 2 tried to do that. But the NPCs responded or with fear or joy/aplauses. Cant remember another game with this feature, but its a good start.

  2. Re:The 2.5 I've used on How To Track the Bug-Trackers? · · Score: 0

    I second that. i use a OLD version of MANTIS BUG tracker and it does its job!!!! Simple and fuunctional!

  3. No problem at all on ATMs Susceptible to Windows Viruses · · Score: 3, Informative

    I worked in a brazilian bank (the bigest) for years, in the development of the ATM software, and i think i can say some facts.

    Yes, the ATMs run Windows software without the varrios patches (Most NT4.0 Sp6, but those are being upgraded to 2k), but some machines (30%) also run OS2 (NCR machines) but those are being upgraded to 2Kd too. The older machines (not few) still runs DOS6.22

    About the virus/BSOD, i know they are anoyng, but dont represent great security risks. See, the ATM network are proprietary, closed, constantly monitored and dont have access to internet.

    IF, the ATM get some virus, the virus cant do much, no virus has WOSA/XFS (CERN-MS ATM API) commands implemented to do something usefull (Money withdraw?).

    There are some banks that are migrating to linux, but the lack of standard API (WOSA/FXS-like) are a trouble. And the banks like to have someone to blame in some serious problem (MSFT!)

    Sorry for the poor engrish.

  4. Atari 2600 on New Atari Games Revealed · · Score: 1, Insightful

    With this 2600-one-button joystick picture besides the news, its impossible to any Geek that was born before 76 to not think of those games as new home-brew games, for thr Atari2600.

    hmmmm, Civ4, kind of creepy...

  5. Longer trailer on New GTA: San Andreas Trailer Released · · Score: -1

    Theres a longer and interactive trailer in

  6. Next step: Rocket on Students Design A Satellite Via Internet · · Score: 0

    Those guys , or perhaps another group using the same method, could form a reusable http://www.v2rocket.com/V2-like rocket laucher team to put this sattelite into orbit. That way, the full process (Sat/Rocket/Orbit) would be complete, not depending of the Russian/others to put it into orbit...

  7. Starcraft - 1997 on Gamers Unite for Video Game Olympics · · Score: 0

    its quite amazing that a 7 years old game is found at those competitions.

    It shows that not everything is graphics/3D/FPS etc.

  8. Re:National Voting Day on Video Game Characters to Get Out the Vote · · Score: 0

    Thats why here in Brazil, our voting day is always at Sundays.
    And weve got 100% eletronic voting.
    The manufactor of the eletronic voting machine is PROCOMP, a company that was bought by DIEBOLD
    The infra-structure is so good, too bad the big mass of the population is analphabet and manipulated by the bad politicians.

  9. Re:consult the American Way(tm)... on Space Station Turning Into a Trash Heap · · Score: 0

    ..and do like an old video i saw where they blew up a dead whale stucked in a american beach. Before: Dead whale in the beach. After: Milions of pieces of dead whale all over the beach/city. Man, the one that come with that idea could have won a nobel prize. See, the American Way(tm): (Nuke-it/explode-it) dont work every time.

  10. Very very very... on Glitch Art · · Score: 0, Troll

    USELESS, i dont call it art. Perhaps, the "author" should get a real job...
