  1. Re:Free =/= Fun on MMORPG Ryzom Released Under AGPL · · Score: 2, Informative

    I actually enjoyed WoW for a long while, since 2004 off and on. I'm trying LotRO right now and having fun. To me free is better if it delivers a comparable product but Ryzom just isn't. The one thing WoW had going for it (and eventually against it) was the ease/simplicity of playing the game and their add-on system. Ryzom was cumbersome to do many basic tasks such as attack and loot.

  2. Free =/= Fun on MMORPG Ryzom Released Under AGPL · · Score: 1

    I tried Ryzom about a month ago. It was not something I would call a fun game to play.

    Hopefully some of the really creative developers out there can use this code as a base for creating some really fun games.

    According TFA they have made triangles and squares too, pretty much any shape you want by varying the speed. The fast the differential the fewer sides.

    You might not like Gabe and Tycho, you might not like the games they play but they at least give you a fair idea of what they are like going in. The biggest thing that sucks is that they're format doesn't allow for them to review a lot of games. There is a reason they have become a power in the gaming world.

  7. Story Time! on Food Activist's Life Becomes The Life of Brian · · Score: 4, Funny

    My unit had our own little Monty Python story in Iraq.

    We were watching Holy Grail in the shop late when a core switch caught fire shortly followed by it's neighbor so now it goes...

    "What do we burn?"

    "SWITCHES!"

    "What else do we burn?"

    "MORE SWITCHES"

    I stand corrected... I think I was looking at it backwards. I looks more like it's a depression around that ring...

    So it's a reverse crater?

  12. And Here is Why on Farewell To the South Pole Dome · · Score: 5, Informative

    Because TFS couldn't be bothered to give a hint as to why I will...

    "The dome could no longer accommodate the demands of research activities taking place there, however, and each year the structure sunk deeper into the ice it was built on. Blowing snow that collected on top of it had to be removed and hauled away, burning up precious fuel and crew time during the short austral summer. The international treaty that governs human activities in Antarctica requires that buildings and equipment no longer in use be removed and the site remediated whenever possible, necessitating the dome's deconstruction and removal."

  14. Anti-Fanboi's Attack! on Apple's iPhone Developer License Agreement Revealed · · Score: 1

    I'm not an Apple fan and have never owned an Apple product, I prefer my Kool-Aid in different flavors.

    But honestly this seems to be a pretty standard agreement, there is nothing horribly sneaky or underhanded going on. The only thing I have an issue with is that Apple has tried to keep it from being public knowledge, which is their ultra-controlling usual self but nothing to get riled up over.

    Perspective people...

  15. Re:Fascinating on Another ACTA Leak Discloses Individual Country Data · · Score: 1

    What defines open? I'm not surprised an unprotected network could get you in trouble in many countries but if I'm using WEP it's not unprotected and wouldn't be open would it? I didn't give them the password... Those "malicious hackers" broke into my system and abused it...

  16. Re:Fascinating on Another ACTA Leak Discloses Individual Country Data · · Score: 1

    Why not just setup WEP with some crazy password? That way cracking it is the price of admission... it's not like WEP isn't trivial or anything...

    Finally we shall realize the Sprawl universe! Corporations will be kings, the government will be little more than a glorified group of pencil pushers, and hackers will glide through cyberspace slicing ICE with hot decks...

    Then you might want to think about a new line of work.

    I've installed Ubuntu on roughly 20 different platforms (laptop, desktop, and servers) since 6.06 and I've never had it not boot. In the past some hardware didn't work immediately but was a trivial fix (or ATI) if you could use google and even that hasn't been the case for a few releases for me.
