    Nice. We have a few Model M copycats that are probably from the late 90s. Even though they are lighter and cheaper, they type just as well and are a bit quieter. Now if I could only find something like that in black for my home computer.

    Nerd: On the episode of Itchy and Scratchy where Itchy plays Scratchy's ribs like a xylophone, he plays the same rib twice but it makes two distinct notes. What are we to believe - that this is some sort of magic xylophone?

    Though I disagree about the next company to make an FPS going out of business, I will say that the next company to make a WWII (or otherwise military) shooter ought to die. I don't wanna play Medal of Honor: Buttplug or SOLDNER 56 or Rainbow Six 6 or IGA: Covert Strike at the Supermarket, etc.

  10. Re:Linux Installation on Worst Bug or Shortcomings in a Standard? · · Score: 1

    I dual boot. I usually find it's the other way around. I need the hundreds of megs to install Quake 3 under Windows and I only need a few MB for the binaries under Linux. I usually just symlink the pak files to the ones under my Windows partition.

  11. Re:Try being as fair as you want us to be. on Worst Bug or Shortcomings in a Standard? · · Score: 1

    Nice slant there. You assume the nvidia kernel module install works perfectly when in reality it's quite tricky (at least in my experience with Debian) and also assume that there is such a thing as an NVIDIA driver that doesn't work with a particular version of Windows (we're not talking about anything before 95). People don't just download the wrong version of the driver and say, "screw this" when it doesn't work.

    Both setups are probably of equal difficulty in reality, with the Linux install being a little bit more difficult because you have to manually copy the full version resources off of the Quake III CD.

  12. Re:The Wal-Mart of Video Games on EA Takeover Moves and Countermoves · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Atari, Acclaim both imploded for lack of quality reasons... Because they had become synonymous with terrible games. They were an anti-brand, essentially. However, EA owns a lot of different brands, and publishes for even more. This past year they've put out a good version of Madden, a great version of Tiger Woods, Burnout 3, The Sims 2.

    Of course, Acclaim published Burnout 2 though. I'm glad EA could pick up where Acclaim left off. It's one of the funniest games I've played in a long time. I wonder how many overzealous parents got pissed off at the "Crash" mode of the game.
