  1. Still have my Optiquest 14" monitor on Who Still Uses Old Monitors? · · Score: 1

    for the old machine and as a backup.

    I still prefer CRTs over flatscreen LCDs. Even at work, I was offered for LCD flatscreens, but I told them to give me CRTs for work.

    LCDs are fine for laptops, but not for desktop to me. I will get a flatscreen LCD when its technology improves enough to match CRTs.

  2. This fits me well... on Social Side-Effects Of Internet Use · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ... because I have a speech impediment so I can't communicate verbally very well. Internet and BBS were a big welcome to my life. I rarely even use telephones and don't need TDD devices anymore.

  3. Re:Kent Brockman reports on the incident... on Space Station Leak Found, Fixed · · Score: 1

    Muahaha, I am the overlord of ants. Bow to me!

  4. TV-On-Demand? on Major New TiVo Service Offerings · · Score: 1

    Does this program let you set scheduled recordings and watch it as "TV-On-Demand" in realtime? ATI's MMC doesn't let me do this for scheduled recordings.

  5. ROFL on What is the Worst Tech Mistake You Ever Made? · · Score: 1

    Good story. :)

  6. My embarrasing moment... on What is the Worst Tech Mistake You Ever Made? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Since I am an impatient guy, I wanted to make my external USR Sportster 33.6k modem to dial faster with initialization string parameters.

    Well, it was the middle of the night (3 am?) and I was a teenager. I made the modem dial fast, but one of the BBS phone number started out with 914... Well, the modem accidently dialed 911. I didn't have the modem speaker loud enough so I didn't hear 911 operator. Then, a cop came by after a few minutes. My folks weren't happy that day.

    DOH! :(

  7. Wrong link... on Army Looks at Robotic Dogs · · Score: 1

    here. Sorry, I need more caffeine!

  8. Dr. Smith is! on Army Looks at Robotic Dogs · · Score: 1

    link. [grin]

  9. RealPlayer 10 Beta? on Real Launches New Player, Music Store · · Score: 1

    According to the free basic player (Windows and Linux), v10 player is still in beta.

  10. Screen saver? on NASA Releases Mars Data for Maestro · · Score: 1

    Can this program be used a Windows/MacOS X/Linux screen saver to collect images? I'd love to show this program off at work. ;)

  11. I wonder if they play Desert Combat mod? on Gaming Cafe Scene In Iraq Illustrated · · Score: 1

    Desert Combat. I wonder if Iraqis would be offended to play this mod.

  12. Knoppix & MAME! on Knoppix Tips and Tricks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How about putting MAME and a few arcade games? ;) KnoppiXMAME.

  13. Re:POP passwords ... on Risk Management of Wireless Networks · · Score: 1

    I would like to use encrypted passwords but most providers do not have encryption password feature for POP3 on their side. :(

  14. Re:This is just stupid on Buying Music from Other than iTunes? · · Score: 1

    Rudy, maybe she only wants specific songs, not the whole CD!

  15. News (mirrored) on Postal 2 - Share the Pain Demo for GNU/Linux · · Score: 2, Informative
    Just in case the site gets /.'ed!

    Postal 2: Share the Pain demo for GNU/Linux (posted 2003-12-25 05:16:36 by icculus):

    Just in time to relieve all that Holiday stress, a demo version of Postal 2: Share the Pain is now available for GNU/Linux systems.

    "Share the Pain" adds multiplayer gametypes to the previously single-player only Postal 2, with its mature-rated attitude (Capture the Flag is called "Snatch", and involves stealing the other team's, uh, mascot...you get the point). The multiplayer gametypes are fully network compatible with the Windows players.

    The package contains a complete DEMO version of the game, featuring one abbreviated single player level, and a few multiplayer maps for your enjoyment. The full, commercial version of Postal 2 for Linux will be available soon (and rumor has it there will be a Linux boxed version, so please don't run out and buy the Windows version in preparation just yet). The package also contains the Linux dedicated server.

    Postal 2 has some rather explicit content. Don't download it if you're a small child or easily offended.

  16. I got... on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    Star Trek: First Contact DVD, a shirt, and money. Nothing special there and I didn't really need anything since I already bought myself cool stuff recently. :)

  17. Rise of the Triad's Christmas theme on Special Christmas Features In Games? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Set 12/25 and you will get a Christmas theme in Rise of the Triad game. There are other Easter eggs for other holidays too!

  18. Me too! on First Computers · · Score: 1

    Texas Instrument 99/4A was my first computer. My father bought one so I could learn to use a computer except I learned to use it for games. I was into Atari 2600 games and arcades (e.g., Pac-Man).

    Recently, I finally got TI99/4A to work in MESS emulator. The instructions can be found here in case anyone is interested. Some of those games still rule! :)

    You can see my computer and console history here.

  20. Re:Gee... on NVIDIA Releases New Linux Drivers · · Score: 1

    The driver is fine, but I wished I could use my All-In-Wonder card features like TV tuner! Also, I would love to use Linux for PVR. MythTV doesn't work with ATI's drivers. :(

    digime: Try 256 MB for $49.99. See Costco.

  22. If you have Costco or do mail order from Costco... on Gifts Ideas For 'Non-Geek' Types? · · Score: 1

    you can get Sandisk Cruzer Mini 256MB USB Flash Drive for $49.99! That's a good price that I bought two (one for myself and one for my father [still uses 3.5" disks as well!]). The local store I went to had PLENTY!!

  23. Gollum Rap! on Interview with Peter Jackson on LoTR Bloopers · · Score: 1

    I guess Gollum Rapping music video is a blooper that wasn't included on the DVD sets. ;)

  24. Re:No wheels? on 3-Button Mice - An Endangered Species? · · Score: 1

    Does anyone here actually don't use the wheel feature on amouse? I don't really like it because I do not have an index finger (four fingers on both of my hands since I was born with multiple physical disabilities). Same for middle button. :(
