  1. The best thing microsoft ever did on Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    The best thing microsoft ever did was gain a monopoly. The windows monopoly standardised the entire OS and software business. The only problem is that they forgot to let other companies participate...

  2. Super Mario World on IGN's Top 100 Games · · Score: 1

    Super Mario World 2, is in no way even close to being better than Super Mario World!

    Ha, I just remembered the time I bought Mario is Missing... Super Mario Bros 3 it wasn't!

  3. Mirror on Quake 4 Visual Preview · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's a mirror http://eightyford.com/archives/85, with every image on one page. I just find it annoying to have to click through 7 pages when I'm on a slow connection.

    Cheers

    It's a place where you can drive your chevy; because I think you can replace your ipods there, in case the music dies.

    I buy the media labeled 'music' on purpose actually. Then I fire up a bittorrent client, or limewire pro, and get whatever music I want. You know why? 'Cuz Fuck em, I'm not paying twice! If you treat people like criminals, then that's what you get.

  11. Offtopic, but did you see the... on Knoppix 4.0 DVD - Like a Kid in a Candy Store · · Score: 1

    Offtopic, but did you see the subscribers only feature at the top of the page. I guess now subscribers get to see the stories 10-20 minutes earlier than the poor people. I think this will work out nice for them. No more "woot frist post" people! Go knoppix

  13. Open Office on Alternatives To Office For Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What is the status of OO.org on the mac platform? I have heard that the interface is not consistent with other OSX applications. But other than that, what is the stability, speed and usability like? I personally very much enjoy OO.org on Windows, though excel really is the best spreadsheet software that I have yet seen on any platform.

  18. Short Article - Karma whore on Orlando Cancels Free WiFi Project · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Officials in Orlando are pulling the plug on free Internet service. It turns out that certain downtown "hot spots" just weren't hot enough to justify the program's price tag. Sunday marked the last day of a pilot program that allowed free Internet access near Lake Eola Park. The pilot program was only supposed to last six months, but the city kept it going for 17 months. As many as 200 people using laptop or hand-held computers at once could check e-mail or surf the Web in the wireless zones. But city officials said that only about 27 people a day took advantage of the program -- not enough to justify the $1,800 the city paid every month for the service. The service may come back, city officials said, if they can find a way to expand the service beyond a few downtown blocks, and if they can find a company to foot the expense.
