    Oddly enough, Diablo II did come with the free Windows version, when I bought the Mac version.

  5. Literary content on Ask Douglas Adams About...Everything · · Score: 1

    I've often enjoyed coming up with different inturpretations of you work, for literary analysis. For example, one could argue that Ford Prefect is a Messiah character because he saves Dent from the end of the world. Dent, representing mankind, Zaphiod a Judas, and Marvin a doubting Thomas. It can also be applied to almost any religon, of course.

    Did you have any ideas like that in mind for Literary classes to diassemble, when you wrote the books, or is it all just happenstance?

  6. 5th of 3 Books, the end? on Ask Douglas Adams About...Everything · · Score: 3

    I've always interupted interviews with you feeling that you wanted to stop answering questions and being pestered about the Hitchhiker series. (Which I love greatly, to the extent that I wear a rabbit bone in my beard while camping)

    When "Mostly Harmless" was released, I was surprised, but the ending seemed to me, very, very, final.

    Was that book written just to end the series, and therefore end questions about it?

    If so, did it work?

  7. How it knows a command on Is There A Market For A Voice Controlled MP3 Car Stereo? · · Score: 1

    If been looking at this for a bit, and common question keeps popping up. How does it know that you're talking to it?

    Every command starts with the phrase "Computer" and has to follow a pattern of commands.

    The website says that you can change that command word, and even the syntax of the commands. Give the player a name, and you'll never have a problem during converstations.

    i.e. "Eythel, play Oh ef ef es pee are eye en gee"

  8. Market, yes! on Is There A Market For A Voice Controlled MP3 Car Stereo? · · Score: 1

    I think there's a market here, in fact I was looking at buying two. One for each car. I was going to build one for myself first, (since I have the parts) to see if it worked well. (In a convertible)

    I think that it should be easily expanable, and that you shouldn't profit gouge on hardware.

    Other than that, sell me one.

  9. Re:Pardon me????? on Microsoft Invents Symbolic Links · · Score: 1

    Visi Calc was the first.

  10. Great for Servers. on Microsoft Invents Symbolic Links · · Score: 4

    It actually makes sense to install this on a machine that has a lot of user drive space.

    The software will make symbolic links automaticly, so when lusers all save
    that "Wassup" commerical to the user
    drive the machine doesn't run out of
    space.

    It's not just symbolic links, it's automatic
    symbolic links.

    Mama Katz,

    Didn't you choke on a chicken sandwich...

    Oh, my mistake.

  12. Re:Worst product name of the year on Songboy Turns GameBoys into MP3 Players · · Score: 1

    I paid $110 for my gameboy, of course that was in 1990...

    And the name Songboy is no worse than Gameboy, or Walkman, Discman, or the hordes of other like names.

  13. Re:Projector on Turn Your 15" Monitor Into 30 Cheap · · Score: 1

    I've done that, it's mighty cool. We had a permement setup that could run 2000x1400 or something large. Something about 10 feet, corner to corner.

    And of course we had two, one at each side of the classroom.

    In AT&T, the after hours quake players (mostly teches) would take over conference rooms and play across the WAN.

    It better then a monitor, it's just as fun to bring popcorn and watch.

  14. Japanese cars are crap, same with the US. on World's Biggest Roller Coaster · · Score: 1

    Most 4's that start to put out REAl horsepower, are tweaked to within a inch of their life. A 2 liter engine with 400hp is nothing more than a very expensive hand grenade.

    The best sports car for the money is a TVR. There is not even a choice about this. The only problem is they're not available in the states.

    And they're better looking than anything that GM, Ford or Dodge made in the 70's. Don't get me started on the cookie-cutter looks of Japanese cars (except the Dastun Fairlady, and the Toyota 2000 GT :)

    Look them up and weep for joy. Then do the math. The Cerebra has four seats and a 0-60 in 3.9 seconds... stock. No blower, no NOS, nothing special.
