Duke Nukem 3D Ported To Nokia N900 95

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 29, 2009 @11:03PM from the all-outta-gum dept.

andylim writes "It looks as if Duke Nukem isn't completely 'nuked' after all. Someone has ported the 90s classic on to a Nokia N900. As you'll see in the video, you control Duke using the Qwerty keypad and shoot using the touchscreen. I'm wondering how long it will take for this to get on other mobile platforms." In other Duke news, reader Jupix points out that 3D Realms' CEO Scott Miller recently said, "There are numerous other Duke games in various stages of development, several due out this year. We are definitely looking to bring Duke into casual gaming spaces, plus there are other major Duke games in production."

You could still write your own backup tool and it would be legal - but only for you to use not to distribute.

From the article: "With Hollywood operating a fully-functioning, movie-making machine throughout the two World Wars, it wasnâ(TM)t until Asian cinema blasted onto movie screens in the 1950s that we saw really poignant non-English cinema." The writer seems to have missed the influential pre-nazi German cinema industry that seriously challenged Hollywood in innovation and quality in the 20s and early 30s. Some of the stuff is still perfectly watchable today.

Still another point to make is the efficiency of distribution. Not many of those watts produced at the power plants actually make it to your wall outlet.

How exactly do you 'return' something that is in your memory?

You tell them what they are and then they change them.

It's called democracy. If no choice is removed from anyone then you have no use for laws (that is what laws do). That is called anarchy.

This is actually wrong, you can sign a written contract (with 2 witnesses!) that allows certain people (as specified by the contract) the right to access your personal mail. In our company its common that a person leaving the company signs a contract that allows their successor access to their e-mail for up to 6 months after they have left after which the mail account must be deleted by law anyway. The contract assumes that the person leaving has cleaned out everything they do not want to remain in the system (personal mails) and of course they don't have to sign the contract at all. In this case we at the IT dept. will simply shrug and tell people that we are sorry but we cannot grant access without a written contract that allows us to do so. Reading someones mail without such a contract is a criminal offense that results in fines or imprisonment. Mail sent to addresses that are not personal (like webmaster@company.com) are not protected by this law.
