  2. President on Foil-The-Filters Contest · · Score: 1

    My daughter had to do her research on my machine at home because she couldn't find enough information on the president she was writing a report on at school.

    Uh, huh, huuh, huh. She said Handcock.

  3. Re:King is LOSING on Slashback: Retroaction, Breakeven, Kansas · · Score: 1

    Didn't I read that there would be 10 or 11 installments? I may have read it wrong, I wouldn't pay $10 for a book. I'll wait for the electronic used book version. :)

  4. Old arcade scores on Classic Gaming Gets Recognition · · Score: 1

    If you want to see how some of the scores on old arcade games are achieved, wander over to Marp. The Mame action replay page.

    There is even a 3.2 million Pacman score on there. It just requires Mame to play the playback files.

  6. What happened to the other 50%? on Caffeine Vault · · Score: 2

    After getting what should be a lethal dose, the other 50% did *not* die.

  7. Re:Control Issue on Gameboy Emulator For PalmOS · · Score: 1

    Thers is some palm software that does take over the palm buttons. The game Subhunt uses the palm buttons to drop the depth charges and move the ship. I believe at least one adventure game also uses those buttons for directional movement.

  8. cnn transcript on Amiga's New SDK: A First Glance · · Score: 1

    there is a CNNfn transc ript available from the CNN interview. I wasn't able to hear the original so I'm not certain of its accuracy.

  9. Another standard, SOAP(Simple Object Access Protoc on Our Attorney's Response To Microsoft · · Score: 3

    Looks like MS was at it again. And they complain about the AIM standard.

    An excerpt from the article

    But here's the rub: According to the Seajug poster, Microsoft got wind of a SOAP presentation to be given by a former Microsoft tools developer to the Java user group and sent in the troops (including a number of former Microsoft colleagues) to make sure the former employee didn't break any NDAs. .

    Another story on MS and standards.

  10. Re:Terminology on The Slashdot DDoS: What Happened? · · Score: 1

    A SYN is part of TCP/IP messaging suite. SYN is the first message sent to establish a connection, its short for Synchronizing.

    Here is a Document by Avi Freedman that explains SYN and SYN floods in more detail. It very informative and easy to understand.

  11. IP Addressing WAS:Re:Terminology on The Slashdot DDoS: What Happened? · · Score: 1

    For the /8 /16 /24, its basically a way to denote a group or range of IP address. A /24 would be a range of 256 IP address (or what used to be class C) and /16 would be a group of 256*256 IP address (old class B). For instance, 192.168.1.0/24 would mean the range of 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255.

    A good read on IP addressing can be found at 3com , its a bit long but well worth reading.

  12. msnbc on Intel FDIV bug vs ILUVYOU · · Score: 1

    Sorry to be off topic, but while we are MS bashing, can anyone get to the sports and news section on msnbc.com? I get "This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed." I don't recall having this problem before.

  14. Re:Yaroze Information Link on The Playstation Documentation Project · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the link. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in short its a sudent developer system with support from other student PSX developers.

    One of the sad things I read in the FAQ, was that the student developers could not distribute there software outside of the Yaroze without getting a developers liscense. I hope this does not happen with the PSXII.

    I would like to see some homegrown Demoes and some shareware or free GNU/GPL products for the PSXII.

  17. Re:Terrific! on Photogenics 4.5 Beta For Linux Released · · Score: 1

    I'm still looking for a Deluxe Paint type program for my Daughter. The paint programs I've tried to get here to use are either way to simple (just painting, no animations) or to hard to learn.

    Anyone recomend a paint program thats functional like Deluxe Paint but easy enough to use for a 10 year old?

    Cool, I'll have to look into installing OS2. I've used it a bit at work and I've found it to be very stable. I was hoping to be able to play Everquest, thats the original reason for my directX question. :)

  22. Re:Hmm.... do the math... on Sega Dreamcast: $0 · · Score: 1

    Definitly not worth if you have to pay for the games also, $50 a pop.

    If unlimited game play came with the service, it would be worth it. :)

    I only purchase 1 maybe 2 new games a year because of the price. The rest I buy used from $5 to $20. I also get a 30 day trial period on the used games to see if I like them, not so with new games.

  25. Why not QA? on Adopt-a-Free-Software-Project Program Launched · · Score: 2

    I didn't see an option to volunteer testing the software. Should they just leave that up to the users?

    IMOP, at the very least there should be someone to handle the bug reports and try to recreate the situation in the bug report, then pass the results to the programmer(s).

    I did notice that there was a choice for documentation, so thats good news. :)
