  1. Re:Why do they exist? on PS2 Controller Hack Nets Codes for GTA · · Score: 1
    In this age of big business and artificial limitations I find it very refreshing that developers remember where they came from.

    Mod that up, please. It's often fun to program a little trickery into these games, and far more fun to play a long, great-looking for a long time and find out you can play around with these hidden tricks.

    I played SA and loved it, but hardly expected all those cheats. I think only the Genesis Sonic games have had better cheats--where else can you add hundreds of robots all around you in a debug code and then spin through 'em all at once?

    Must be a new, faster parallel. In a second or two, I was sitting in front of some cool-sounding cheats.

    I'll certainly be trying the Mega Punch soon.

  3. Re:More interesting links about this conference on Google Tidbits · · Score: 1
    File and delete (don't leave anything in the inbox)

    That would be me. My more social friends have lots of mail they "peck" at, though.

    Most interesting in the second link:

    We release everything in beta, because we're not arrogant enough to say that it's "right" when it's released. Often, missing important features (Froogle didn't have sort-by-price at first?!)

    The one feature I use the most there. I'm glad no one else has jumped on the "Sort by Price" bandw--wait, nevermind...

  4. Google's "small-and-often" changes. on Google Tidbits · · Score: 2, Informative
    From the article (fact #6):
    Google makes changes small-and-often. They will sometimes trial a particular feature with a set of users from a given network subnet; for example Excite@Home users often get to see new features. They aren't told of this, just presented with the new UI and observed how they use it.

    I noticed one of these trials. I sat at a desktop--I forget exactly when--and that time Google looked something like this. When I saw what would be Google's new look on another PC, I was wondering what happened (and a bit jealous--it was my big brother's).

    I like the new Google.
