See? Even the geekiest of Star Trek games made by the geekiest of geeks, was all about space combat.

I read this story, then read about half a paragraph of the game description on their website, and bought it immediately.

Check out StarQuest Online. The graphics aren't great and the UI is a "son of a bitch" until you get the hang of it. The game is pretty fun though and has a lot of potential. It also has the benefit of being *released* whereas most of the sci-fi MMOs that people are excited about are still in development. http://www.castlethornsoftware.com/indexsqo.html

Woah, they have Fallout 3...

I like their "Games under 10 MB" and "Games under $10" buttons, pretty neat feature on both counts.

There's like 90 games in their RPG section... but that seems to include some electronic strategy guides.

So there! :>

Yeah I really believe you, that Google made an AI... and released the story on April 1st.

Uh huh.

I hate this fucking day, everyone thinks they're so god damned funny all of a sudden.

Gaypril Fools! LAWL!!!!!11ONE. Aren't these stupid jokes SO AWESOME?

Ohyeah, I almost forgot: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/208-Eve-Online =)

I dare you to play Starquest. =)

HP uses a modified BIOS, I don't know what the base is, probably one of the common ones though. In most of those, you can enable or disable specific devices, like, say, wireless cards. But HP hides those options. That doesn't necessarily mean the code is removed though. (I don't know either way...) What I suspect is happening is that those options are in the code just not displayed, and that HP's BIOS update disables the wireless device somehow. But that's all speculation.

Whatever is happening, HP's BIOS update is breaking laptops, and HP's warranty doesn't cover BIOS problems, even if it's their BIOS update.

Does it have Limewire installed and no AV?

Iiiiiiittttttttttt's

Re-route all web traffic to go to a "I've read and agree to the security policies" page that must be confirmed before they can browse any web sites. Put strong language in there letting them know their jobs are at risk if they break any of the security policies.

Large "box" tech stores AND small tech stores are both hurting. There's almost no profit in parts, unless you massively overcharge. Anyone can go browse online retailers and see prices way lower than any retail store can offer, even counting shipping.

People always act a little surprised when I tell them the store I work at doesn't sell parts. (They usually want to argue with me about it a bit too.) Sorry folks, parts can't pay our rent or salary. My best guess is that soon all the small computer stores will be out of business.

Meanwhile, I can happily hand out the few parts we do have for free, and not have to deal with people's whiny bitching or stinky money.

What's our secret? I ain't tellin'! ;)
