Delicious parody of our media and their he-said/she-said "two sides to everything" reporting (and subservience to powerful influences).
Insider's story about Atari
March 9, 2008 9:16pm
I just played it. It is a pretty good (for the day) clone of Centipede, especially for someone who didn't have access to the original specs. I do recall having played it as a child.
I think the only thing that really hampered this from being a perfect copy is the screen orientation, and the trakball (sic) support. The arcade version has a vertical monitor.
Home computers always have horizontal monitors, and given the low resolution, they usually couldn't throw away the left and the right side to try to make a fake vertical playfield.
Atari did sell a 'trakball' (Atari's name for the trackball) for the Atari Home Computer, but it wasn't a true trackball. It was simply converted into a digital up/down/left/right joystick input.

BTW... the "I am coming to you" part.
Did the US cut off the rest of that sentence to make it more threatening? As in, "I am coming to you from my secret underground laboratory." ?
Sky Commuter vehicle prototype for sale

I say that a good computer system could control the instability. They had stability issues the wedge shaped aircraft (ex: stealth bomber) until they got in some good computer controls.
Price of rare goods skyrockets while infinite digital goods crash
January 7, 2008 5:31pm
Would you say the same holds true for classic games in the arcades? Is Galaga worth more or less because you can play it on your PC with an emulator?
What if you collected arcade games? Would that make Galaga more valuable to collectors, or less?

PeterOliver: You're answer would be, "So, they just had this nefarous plan. But they didn't have any nuclear material, bomb components, cash, anything? Wow. The NSA sure did save the day!"
Actics: social networking for "ethical" businesses

Because an unethical business would never join a network that is only for ethical businesses.
That would be unethical!

Art is subjective, but I find that I am in good company. I would have thrown it in the trash, too.
TSA's crazy screener-testing: giving "bombs" to regular passengers to sneak onboard?!?
October 21, 2007 10:14am
Assuming the churn rate for TSA Manager is low, it wouldn't be long before they start to be recognized. That, and they'd be traveling alone most/all of the time.
I think they need to do a 'secret shopper' kind of thing in order to get some realistic diversity in the people who they send through for tests.
I'm just unclear if recruiting people is done in quite as an inflammatory way as Bruce describes, though.

Dungeons & Dragons 4.0 Makes Remote Pen-and-Paper Play Easier
October 16, 2007 8:56pm
This is really really sad. It is like a very poor online game, with absolutely no rules engine or AI or anything. Just dolly dress-up for adults. You might as well recreate things in Second Life.

DoJ slams net neutrality, says all packets not created equal
September 6, 2007 2:24pm
Finally. I got an account. A quick summary of my anonymous rant that'll eventually make it to this site:
90% of what I read in the DoJ's statement is a political opinion.
10% of what I read in the DoJ's statement is a legal opinion.
WHAT is the DoJ doing, chiming in on public policy matters with political opinions?
