  1. How Can We Continue The Fight? on Ask Kevin Mitnick · · Score: 1

    As one of the people that protested in front of the Los Angeles court house, regularly displayed and passed out "Free Kevin" stickers, whored the kevinmitnick web-site for new information and watched with slack-jawed incredulity as our (hack-spit) Justice System worked its magic... I extend my heartfelt "Welcome Back!" and desire that your long road has ended and a new, better paved, more scenic one has begun. =8-D

    Yet I, personally, am little satisfied. I carry a heavy, fervent desire to lash out against the authorities that would conduct such a circus.

    Having spent the time you have, looking out from within, what would you suggest is the best approach for the "average Joe" to combat such attrocities as displayed by the Justice Department and our courts?

    Are there courses of action beyond mere letter writing and becoming a tick on an "opinion form"?

  2. Re:Developer suicide? on Game Engine Marketing Models Compared · · Score: 1

    When GG first hit the scene and discussions were flying around the Tribes boards, it became my understanding that GG gets FIRST OPTION to publish your game.

    If they don't like it, you're free to shop it around.

  3. Re:When mods are better than the original... on Making Games Live Longer With Mods · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've been running the second most popular Renegades server for close to three years now - Brute Force's World o' Ouchie.

    A Frankenstein's monster of Ren 4.0, Arena, Duel, Duel Tourney and our very own mod... Dual Duel (thanks Check and DeadGuy!).

    My decision, lo' these many years passed, to switch from Base to Renegades was to escape the, IMHO, tedium and limitations inherent in Base. With only three armor types (light, medium and heavy) after a while it got played out.

    For myself, the Renegades mod definately breathed new life into the game. More sub-classes to the Base armor types, more deployables (force-fields and turrets), etc, really opened up the playability to more personality types. Like chess over checkers, it made it more of a thinking-man's game while also opening more avenues for the cowboys out there.

    I would probably not still be here, three years later, playing Tribes, let alone running a clan/server, if not for the mod community.

  4. Re:no, it's not on Computers And The Noise They Make · · Score: 1


    LOL

    I was specifically looking for a post like yours else I was going to post the same thing =8-D

    I've had multiple machines running in my bedroom for over 10 years now. Can't get to sleep without that soothing purr washing over me.

    And one of my machines has an old CDC full height hard drive that's been running continuously for over, what? 15 years now? Sucker runs so hot you can't touch the casing. It has a smooth sound like nothing else. I'll miss the ol' dog when it finally takes it's last byte. =)

  5. Re:C'mon, that's totally made up! on Taking On A Spammer · · Score: 1


    It would be very easy to discern a laptop if you have access to it's files. There are many thumbprints that identify laptops from desktop machines.

    Hell, Config.sys and Autoexec.bat alone will usually do it.

  7. Re:On anohter Neal Gaiman note on New Sandman Book and Signing · · Score: 2

    I have a few friends that are seriously into anime and they turned me onto a decent subtitled Princess Mononoke about a year ago.



    Man,oh,man,oh,man,oh,man! By far the best I've seen yet! Excellent story and art. I recommend it to everyone on the planet.

    If you aint' breakin' the law you ain't got nuthin' to worry about.


    I'm sorry, but... I just have to give an incredulous chuckle every time I see someone spout the above.

    Just look at the US Justice Dept's track record and tell me you still believe that.

  10. Re:Movie Theater on Carl Sagan Was a Secret Pot Smoker · · Score: 1

    I realize that this took place in 1971, but still, what kind of movie theater was this, and where??

    And how much are tickets?!
