  1. Re:Commander Keen on Historians Recreate Source Code of First 4004 Application · · Score: 1

    Doom 3 still saves games the same way. In fact, I'm pretty sure it uses a similar think setup, though highly enhanced (mostly due to the deep scripting integration, and finally being ported to C++).

    (unless of course you were on the "dark" side of the moon).
    There is no dark side of the moon really...matter of fact, it's all dark.
  3. Re:How can you confuse them? on Wal-Mart's Terrible Nintendo Wii Knock-Offs · · Score: 1

    Perhaps next time, people should try reading the packaging instead of blindly purchasing something because it "looks" like the right thing.
    Clearly you have never been in a Wal-Mart during the holiday rush.
  4. Re:A jock is not JUST an athlete. on YouTube For High-School Jocks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My HS must have been the exception. The majority of the football players (who were also frequently basketball and baseball players) were actually fairly nice guys, quite a few were in honors/AP classes. I dunno if the coach(es) told them to be nice, or if they genuinely were that way, but they were quite affable people.

  5. Re:imageboards on Evidence of Steganography in Real Criminal Cases · · Score: 1

    True, but more than a few people can be fooled by it.

  6. imageboards on Evidence of Steganography in Real Criminal Cases · · Score: 2, Interesting

    On some imageboards (which shall remain anonymous), a common trick is to password-protect a RAR file and append it to a an image (cat foo.jpg bar.rar > baz.jpg). Most RAR utilities skip right over the image data and only extract the RAR file.

    Of course, once they reach 10.9, they have the option of pissing in the face of basic number representation and call the next version 10.10, then 10.11 ...
    You mean like *nix (especially OSS) has been doing for 20 years?

    You're right, the anti-authoritarian, anarchist, pro-conspiracy-theory tone is quite sickening indeed.

  11. definitions on OSI Approves Microsoft Ms-PL and Ms-RL · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ms-PL: BSD-like
    Ms-RL: GPL(2?)-like

    It'll be interesting to see what the FSF has to say on these.

  14. Re:Great! on Copier Auto-Translates Japanese to English · · Score: 1

    My motherboard manual has a similar segment. Overall it's well-written and seems to be professionally translated, but there's a strange warning relating to some advanced BIOS settings...

  16. Re:I'd wait! on OpenGL Programming Guide 6th Ed. · · Score: 1

    OpenGL 3 (formerly Longs Peak) is supported on current hardware. It's basically a redesign of the OpenGL 2 API. The next revision (codenamed Mount Evans), however, will add a whole lot of new features (at least DX10 level).

    You clearly have never Googled for "buttbuttinate."

    Seems more like "Bow chika bowow!" to me. At least that's what everyone I know says.

  19. Re:to boldly go... on Compiz Gets Thumbs-Up for Gutsy Gibbon · · Score: 1

    Funny you should say that, because XP isn't the latest release. Vista can load drivers from a CD, or USB disk, or most other storage mediums. Not a Microsoft apologist (I run Kubuntu myself), but I hate seeing blatantly wrong information.

    Catch-22 was on my required reading list prior to my high school's junior year. I was one of maybe 4 in my entire graduating class that read it (and of about 40 that actually did the assignments at all). For the record, I just finished the new Harry Potter book.
