  2. Re:Not Twain on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 1
    Actually, they're not sure who wrote it. It was either Twain, or it was Shields in a letter to Twain. See note 1 here.

    For added fun, see note 2 as well.

  3. Re:Wow! What a question to ask on Slashdot... on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I agree!! For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all. Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.

    I can't believe this. I hope they won't fix ghosting... :) Seriously, it's about time to reset the stats.

  11. Re:Genre Defining? on Genre-Defining Games? · · Score: 1

    Actually, according to the question, "For any genre of your choice, what is the game that defines that genre for you?" Spanning most of the major genres, our respondents take us on a passion-filled jaunt through video games present and past, highlighting a few of the titles that stand out in their minds as truly epitomizing a particular style of gameplay. So the question is not necessarily asking the first real game in the genre, just the one game that you feel best represents the genre as a whole.

    And of course 3d platforming was Super Mario 64.
