  1. Re:from what I heard... on The Return of Chewbacca · · Score: 1

    I always thought the reasont that they were ewoks and not wookies was because a planet full of wookies wouldn't put up with a bunch of Imperials laying claim to they world and would (try to) throw them off.

  2. Re:The HPLJ 4 and relatives on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 1

    I'll have to chime in on this one as well. I have a LaserJet4 Plus that I got free when our accounting department was retiring them in favor of Hp8100N's. This paper has hundreds of thousands of pages through it, and it works great!

    Another nice thing about this printer is that if something does go wrong, the parts are readily availably, and the design is solid and easy to fix.

    IF you are looking for a black and white workhorse definately try to pick one of these up.

  5. Re:I want my patch! on Loki selecting beta-testers again · · Score: 2

    Couple things:

    We received the 1.1 patch code from Activision on Monday, May 24 and had a patch uploaded for testing the next day. It hasn't been released because it broke several parts of the game.

    The problems we are hearing about have proven very difficult to duplicate, even with 4 of our people working on it together with a number of tremendous testers on the outside. Our guys are really good, so I'm confident the patch will be ready for prime time shortly.

    The PPC version (including the 1.1 patch) is also nearly ready--several people are beta testing it now.

    For future projects, we have bugzilla up and running, and will be making it available to customers. We think that sharing support/bug information with people is a Good Thing. After all, we're counting on you all to keep us honest!

  6. Loki Beta -- Followup on Lokisoft call for beta testers for Civ:CTP · · Score: 1

    Just a quick note. The show was great. Thanks to everyone who came.

    Obviously, our plans for the beta need some rethinking. 20 - 25 just won't cut it. We're somewhere around 2000 responses right now, considerably more than most Windows titles get. We'd have to go into full replication to get that many out.

    We're going to do the right thing with the beta -- as soon as we figure out what that is. Ideas?
