  1. Re:robots.txt files revealing on Google Formula For Adding New Products · · Score: 1

    They were at war with them. I'd imagine that manages to affect most affairs.
    Take that and the fact that there's still a lot of varied work going on there that the White House is deeply involved in and I'm not that surprised that every directory has an Iraq subdirectory.

    Be more concerned when they include Iran or North Korea in their robots.txt

  2. But Activision said February... on Doom 3 Expansion and Xbox Version · · Score: 1

    I'm sure I saw an advert in this month's PC Format (UK) that said it (the PC expansion pack) was out in February. I guess they must've needed a bit more time.

  3. Re:InsertCredit... on Quality Game Writing of 2004 · · Score: 1

    I'm so used to reading spam that I read that first link as 'Instant Credit' and nearly skipped over the whole comment.

    Edge is a good magazine; if a little dry. The UK version of PC Gamer is pretty good. They have some very interesting articles and retellings of game experiences in there most months.

  4. Re:Malicious XPI's exist already on Spyware for Firefox Coming This Year? · · Score: 1

    If you develop websites for a living then you might be interested in the editcss extension. It's lovely.

  5. Re:Sex on Computer-Edited Photos Lead To Child-Porn Locale · · Score: 1

    It seems to vary from state to state.

    More information on child abuse statutes of limitation.

    Ace.

  7. Re:Bill buys Apple? on iPod Most Popular Music Player on Microsoft Campus · · Score: 1

    But Coke make Dr Pepper. At least the UK franchise does and I can't imagine Pepsi selling to them.

    Or are you saying that if a manager or VP walked in with a Dr Pepper at Microsoft they'd be fired?

  8. Re:What makes you think the -scientists- are hones on Public Relations Firm Shapes Opinion with Fake Science · · Score: 1

    I don't think they care what the Pope says. The Vatican (i.e. Pope John Paul II) supports the theory of evolution.

  9. Re:System Spec BS on Doom 3 vs. Source: Comparing Engines · · Score: 1

    I have an Athlon 2400, 128MB Radeon 9600XT and 1GB of RAM. Half-Life 2 runs well (30-50 fps) at 1024x768 and the highest detail settings (no anisotropic filtering or FSAA though). Doom 3 is usually around 30 fps at 800x600 and medium quality settings.

  10. Re:They could use this for the next GTA on Interview With Sundog of Radio Free Zion · · Score: 1

    I don't think there will be a new GTA for this generation of consoles. I think they'll wait.

    Still, it's an excellent idea and it'd be cool if they implement it for the PC (and maybe even the xbox) version of the game due out in June.

  11. I've been following that Cthulhu game since on Ten Most Anticipated Games of 2005 · · Score: 1

    2000. Or maybe 1999. I can't remember that well. Anyway, it's finally starting to come together and look like a game. I just hope they get round to releasing it this year.

  12. Re:Bendy on Pliable Solar Cells on a Roll · · Score: 1

    It's is a perfectly cromulent word.

  13. Re:San andreas on the xbox on Take Two Interactive Riding High · · Score: 1

    Guess I should RTFA some more.

    Still, I'm a terrible pessimist so I say it'll probably be July.

  14. Re:San andreas on the xbox on Take Two Interactive Riding High · · Score: 4, Informative

    It seems that San Andreas PC will be out sometime around August.
    "GTA: San Andreas delayed, PC version confirmed"

    All Bran of course.

  16. Re:What a perfect use of new technology. on Nanotech Brings Cheap Flat TVs From Diamond Dust · · Score: 1

    TVs aren't the only use for this new technology.
    I think computer users of all types (designers, programmers, gamers and casual users) would love a large, cheap flat panel display.

  18. Re:The difference on Cell Phones In The Air? · · Score: 1

    That's stretching the First Amendment a little there I think.

    Aren't there laws against anti-social behaviour in America?

  19. Re:The difference on Cell Phones In The Air? · · Score: 1

    People can feel however they want to feel. They don't need the right, or someone's permission, to do so.

    Also, where is it written that they have a right to annoy you?

  20. Re:and then ... on Robbers Scared by GTA · · Score: 5, Informative

    Why is this troll?

    There's a large, double-ended dildo in the showers of the Police Departments in GTA:SA. It's quite a powerful weapon for melee. Almost as satisfying as beating a tramp to death with a bunch of flowers. In the game of course.

  21. Re:Doom3 movie = Event Horizon 2 on Doom Movie Update · · Score: 1

    I think you're getting Event Horizon confused with Sphere.

    Event Horizon is the one about an experimental ship that warps into a hell dimension. Sphere is about a ship from the future that finds an salient artefact in space and then crash lands on Earth in the past.

  22. Re:Response Time on Gunshot Tracking Cameras to be Deployed in LA · · Score: 1

    Use the gender-inspecific 'they'.

    "If the shooter is still there, they deserve to be caught".

  23. Re:I just want to see how Doom ... on Half-Life 2 Causes Nausea, Looks Good in Doom Engine · · Score: 1

    You can have absolutely huge maps in HL2 but there's a limit to how many entities you can have.
    So you can either make a small to medium interesting map or you can make a huge, barren map. Might still be quite fun blasting about with the buggy, but that's another matter :)

    I would think that similar limits apply to the Doom 3 engine.

    Tape backup drives. Expensive solution but it works well. Especially for off site backups and the like.
