  1. My stories... on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Doom Story? · · Score: 1

    I played its leaked alpha/beta or whatever it was and tried it on my king ant's 386 portable work machine (IBM P70). It was beautiful, but not playable.

    Then came shareware release after 12/10/1993, but I couldn't play it (too choppy and no audio card). So, I gave a copy to my next door neighbor with his 386 DX desktop PC. He played it for a little bit and told me it was amazing, but he had to study for his college freshman finals. I finally played it when I got my own custom built 486 DX2/66. Then, came dial-up multiplayer with him. Oh my, that was the best game when we played together co-op.

    Then, came in making my own DOOM 2 mods. I also hung out with a local BBS with people in making one/1. Even it got SirDOOM working to have 4-players multiplayer over dial-up! We even recorded demos of it. It was incredible and worth it! :D

    I was addicted to ftp.cdrom.com's DOOM stuff. I have many other stories too. I even had dreams!

  2. Re:Never heard of it... on Microsoft Kills Its Game-Building Platform Spark (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Ditto, but I have heard of other Spark from Cisco, Apache, etc.

  3. Re:"Auto-scheduling..." on Microsoft Auto-Scheduling Windows 10 Updates (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Auto scheduled by whom? Linus? :P

  4. Re:Classic Doom 3 on Original 'Doom' Level Remade in the New 'Doom' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    That was a great mod for classic DOOMers. I had fun with it. I'd like to see more of these!

  5. Re:Let's extend that idea on Google Devs Planning Flash's Demise With New 'HTML5 By Default' Chrome Setting (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Especially on a slow connection! That's like a DDoS. Ouch.

  6. Windows, Linux, iOS, etc. I always wait until I am forced. I also don't like how we can uninstall updates Apple software updates like in Windows without restoring from backups. :(

  7. Re:Coming To an American Statup Near You? on China's Tech Work Culture Is So Intense People Sleep and Bathe In Their Offices (techinsider.io) · · Score: 1

    Sex at work? You didn't get caught? HR didn't care? :O

  8. Prove it that you're the only Locke2005. I am Locke2005 too. :P

  9. WRT54GL? Can it do gigaspeed with these open source firmwares?

  10. I haven't flown since summer of 1993. I hate traveling and long commutes. I wished we had working stable t(rans/ele)porters to avoid these long waits. :(

  11. Next, on call 24/7! on France's After Work Email Ban Is 1 Step Closer To Reality (huffingtonpost.ca) · · Score: 1

    But then I never got paid for being on call as a SQA tester. :(

  12. Re:This seems to be the response on Oregon ISP Now Forcing Cordcutters to Sign up For TV to Avoid Caps (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep, I remember cable companies charging more for Internet service only. :(

  13. I bet Apple does this too with their own apps. All of these apps aren't open sourced for us to review. :(

  14. Re:Can we get them to remove other annoyances? on Microsoft Removes Wi-Fi Sense Feature From Windows 10 Which Shared Your Wi-Fi Password · · Score: 1

    So to avoid them in Windows, we have to use Vista and older unsupported Windows. Or switch to a non-Windows OS. That is assuming you want to go online. :(

  15. 30 seconds? More like a minutes or so since there are many breaks! :(

  16. Re:This will reverse next year on Sales Of PCs, Laptops, Tablets Continue to Fall, Hit Lowest Point Since 2011 (canalys.com) · · Score: 1

    And how many people will want VR? I don't.

  17. As a former computer gamer... on Sales Of PCs, Laptops, Tablets Continue to Fall, Hit Lowest Point Since 2011 (canalys.com) · · Score: 1

    ... this is true. I used to upgrade my computer hardwares every other year with video cards, motherboards, etc. See http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm... for my detailed list. As I got older, I gamed a lot less due to busy life and no energy. These days, I use the Internet to read, see, socialize, etc.

    I still do play games once in a while like in IRC with Rbot's turn based card games (e.g., Uno and Junkyard). I did briefly play John Romero's classic DOOM maps and those were fun like old times.

  18. Which version? V3 which I still prefer.

  19. 2 years old? You need to go younger than that. Like before they are born! :P

  20. Re:it's the ignorants' world now on Airline Delays Flight Over Passenger's Suspicious Math Equations (usnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Next with the texts. You might as well not read and fly. :P

  21. It doesn't matter if it is free or not. They will always be tracking you!

  22. Re:You will own nothing on Streaming Surpasses CD Sales At Warner Music (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    Also, maybe need multiple CD drives and use Exact Audio Copy (EAC). Unless the CDs are physically in bad shape.

    Prove it. :P

  24. Re:Pebble got it right on Life's Too Short For Slow Computers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    For me, I want a stand alone smartwatch that doesn't rely on a smartphone. I will stick with my old school Casio Data Bank 150 calculator watch. :P

  25. Stand alone Apple Watch? on Apple's Smartwatch Draws Competition And A Very Bad Review (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't like how it requires an iPhone. I'd like a stand alone smartwatch. Also, they are heavy, big, and power hunger. I will stick with my old school Casio Data Bank 150 watch. :P
