#12 Million...aw yeah!

You're not losing trust, kids can do crazy things sometimes. Until they're 18, you're entitled to know everything.

...Or maybe one of these. The one I got many years ago was probably the best $8 I ever spent.

And yeah, RS was one of my favorite places as a youth; I was a bit of an electronics hobbyist and loved perusing all the components!

Sedwick

How about one of these? Great for spur-of-the-moment notes, journal entries, and workout counting!

Hmmm...would have liked to have seen that Windows option broken up a little bit. XP powers my main machine; I hope to set up another with Windows 98 upgraded from Win95, and run a LAN opponent off that.

VISTA DEATH SPIRAL ACCELERATES: We will see the first service pack for Windows Vista in 2008, but it won't help. The latest version of Windows will remain a bloated, unstable, unappealing, and slow system. Although most PCs will ship with Vista, most users will long for XP. Sure, networking will ge...

Next Big Future wrote:Initial tests showed that targets can be obliterated by the kinetic force of the impact with pinpoint accuracy without shrapnel, which is the most common cause of collateral damage when using high-explosive munitions.

Sedwick

But how would you get rid of shrapnel? Wouldn't the shock of impact create an explosion and its own shrapnel?

Sedwick

OK, so who's gonna make that their avatar?

Git Yer Own Tights!

Maybe to keep the legend alive? Like Zorro or the Dread Pirate Roberts?

I have my own grading system for different types of snow consistency, related mostly to moisture levels: A: Decorative fluff. Powdery to torn tissue in texture. Easily shovelled, blows around a lot, can't pack together worth a darn. B: Wetter and heavier, packs well for snowballs and sculptures, mak...

Sedwick

I'm a little sad now...

Sedwick

To add insult to injury, the idiots that drive the snow plows here are not practiced in the art of NOT blocking someone's driveway when plowing the street, so we get big mounds of icy slop that require either driving over or shoveling away to get out! http://www.jsonline.com/site/photographerphotos...

Maybe you are meant to do something with the bus, like turn it into a rolling lan party and go around the country playing Descent with random people. Ye-e-es! Pimp it out with a row of 8 computers w Descent on them and show up in front of (high) schools and get them hooked! Pass out biz cards with ...

Ahhhh...that took me back. Thanks!

My vote is yes, twist is when you twist the stick and your ship rotates around its front to rear axis. IE, if you are upside down, or if you want to be, you can without otherwise moving. That's how I use it, actually. I've always used the X axis for turning, and when I tried to switch it up with my...

Ladybug v2 has great color, a rare moment, and varying levels of leaf detail.

Sedwick

How do I see the ASCII art? All I get are squares.

Sedwick

Here's an idea. Why not put solar panels in the parking lots of \"big box\" retailers, raised about 8-9 feet off the ground? It would be a great use of all that paved area and it would provide shade to the cars! Or maybe circulate water under the hot pavement?

Too bad you couldn't have used the Omega for incoming missiles. Bet that would have made it more popular...

$700,000,000.00?!?!? That has to be some trail! As a cyclist, I'll be all over that when it's done!

I think everyone was so sick of the current prez they couldn't wait to get started. But I knew the playing field would thin out and a lot else would happen by now so I didn't pay close attention last year. Such early exposure takes the big risk of tired everyone out too early. Let's hope we all stil...

Grabbed this still one night when my graphics went kerfoonky on me:

That's why I love The Onion AV Club's reviews. They answer to no one.

Plus, it lets you edit .TGA files, like D3 uses for screenshots and ship logos.

We just got a good 6\" today. I had the day off, so while eating lunch I got to just look out my window and watch the flakes fall. Everything's all pretty and white, and \"Tractor Joe\" saved me and other neighbors from moving it off our sidewalks. More pics next week once I get my ca...

Ha! My new low-ender's proc outpaces yours by 70 MHz!

Seriously, though, that looks like a pretty sweet rig, capable of kicking all forms of ass. Congrats!

What are the poll results bars supposed to be? Arcade buttons? Baseball bats?

Yay! Dak got my South Park reference!

Good thing they were able to reuse that Cargolifter hangar. I think I want to stay there some time...

Perhaps the age of the game and thus of the gamers themselves has to do with it? I imagine most of us have outgrown the thrill of typing like hyperactive kindergarteners. Or maybe the skills and patience required for Descent are possessed mainly by smarter, more patient gamers? Whatever it is, I hav...

Well, I'm bonding more with my new computer every day, but I made some nasty discoveries trying to play Descent 3. In the setup dialog from the launch screen, I have the following options for video rendering: http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z95/sedwick1024/D3videosetupdlg.jpg If I select OpenGL, ...

With Peanuts being a childhood staple, I'd have to vote for Vince Guaraldi's compositions from A Charlie Brown Christmas, especially Christmas Time Is Here. For a more religious flavor, a good choral rendition of O Come All Ye Faithful hits the spot. And kareoke's always fun with \"Weird Al\&qu...
