  1. Economics on Academic Games Are No Fun · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not, but i learned everything i needed to know about (macro|micro)economics from both the Civilization series and OpenTTD. Openttd.org changed the way i look at a lot of prices and investment opportunities.

  2. Re:And why is it that way? on First-Person Account of a Social Engineering Attack · · Score: 1
    And they are all on a yellow sticky on my desktop.
    I'm sorry to point out the obvious, but doesnt that negate the whole point?
  3. I'm an Eagle Scout. on Boy Scouts Introduce Merit Badge For Not Pirating · · Score: 1

    I'm an Eagle Scout, got it 99, and still carry the card around.

    I'm sorry but WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG HERE?

  5. I actually had this problem..... on Proxy Sites Offer Secret Passage to Myspace · · Score: 1

    I was a sysadmin at a High school for a semester... Its wasnt myspace that was the problem it was livejournel. I ended up setting up squid guard at a single point of entry for the network (yes that's a single point of failure) but then it checked every site they looked at. It was nice having that power....

    Eventually i decided (the cocky sob i am) to challange the students to try to hack past my proxy and no one could. I was going to be let go at the end of the year away so i took the "resident computer geeks" and showed them how to set up EXACTLY what boxofprox does...but on a personal site with dyndns.

    So yeah the moral of the story.... boxofprox is nice, but dyndns+linux+apache+cable modem is much better and harder to find :P.

  6. Dipolmacy on Tabletop Gaming Over the 'Net? · · Score: 1

    Probably my favorite table top game of all time is Dipolmacy...but alas it was really hard to find people that would actually want to play. (i even asked my ex to play for my bday and she looked at me like i was a crackhead and followed it up with "I [her] better be drunk." Needless to say it didnt happen :-( )
    But all isn't lost, places like http://www.diplom.org/index.py was created for us loners out there to play this great game.

    Thanks, for me, i dunno, it just seems that i hear/see/read/etc this question at least once a month...
    Why waste /.'s time with this question when googleing "learning linux" comes up with 92,600,000 hits and even the first url: http://www.learninglinux.com/ !

  9. Maybe this is too simple... on Where Should One Go for Unix/Linux Training? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Maybe this is too simple of an answer, but INSTALL A VERSION of unix/linux and get a BOOK!

    (What a waste of a article.)

  10. Facebook? on iPod More Popular Than Beer? · · Score: 1

    Facebook is still "in"?...
    Nah, i dont believe that, didn't everyone stop caring after http://www.myspace.com/ got bought out?
    College students are so trendy that it should have changed by now.

  11. Why Cleopatra... on Cleopatra the Electronic Home Attendant · · Score: 1

  12. I'd hate to say it.... on Sony Addresses PS2 in PS3 Rumour · · Score: 1

The current incarnation of the KuroBox, the KuroBox/HG, sports a 266Mhz PowerPC processor, 128MB of RAM, 2 USB 2.0 Ports, and a 10/100/1000Mbit network interface.

    I remember the first day I saw an NFL Street ad inside of Madden 2004. I knew at that moment that there was going to be an explositon of ad sales in games. Now if we can create and adblock and filterset.g updater for consoles I think many would be much happier! :P
