Marathon was the 1st full featured FPS. Sure Wolfenstien and Doom beat it, but Marathon was the first true 3d game. Doom was actually a 2d game that faked the vertical component.

Marathon was the first that allowed networked game play. Had all the major multiplayer modes, king of the hill, tag, DM etc. Marathon was really the seminal FPS that set the stage for all other games. It is still impressive in the level design and storytelling given the minimal resources available at the time. It beat Unreal and Quake by a few years to the market.

VLC for sure

Sorry Yelp,

You had a good run but it appears that Google will be destroying you in the next year.

I think Bellisario should sue... They totally ripped off the Airwolf intro music.


On a side note I love how they took the festo smart bird video and dirtied it up to look military lol...

Thank you good sir!

This is the end of an epoch. For those of us lucky enough to be around from the first steps of the Internet as we know it today, what you have created has become a part of our lives, an indispensable news source, source of humor, and knowledge of all things that matter to us. Let us not forget the internet term that you accidentally created. We will tell our children what being slashdoted means, when they use it with no idea of from whence it came.


I salute you sir! Good luck in all your future endeavors, Slashdot is not dead, and long live Slashdot!

The Roadster is on the same platform as the Exige/Elise. While it may not be on the same DOT waiver, Lotus is shutting down the tooling for that platform. The only reason I am saying it may not be on the same DOT waiver is I cannot find that part of the DOT website.


Either way the article is wrong, for one reason or the other that platform will no longer be made, this is really old news in the auto community. It is not being stopped because it was a failure.

Exactly, the Elise/Exige losses the DOT waiver for the old standard airbags later this year, hence the stoppage of sales of the Elise/Exige and Tesla Roadster.

The Riaa has only gone after people distributing the data, not people that had the data on their possession. In a court case the burden on proof on something that you own would fall to the RIAA and they would need to prove you did not access it legally. AFIAK all the people they have gone after they have logs with IP addresses that people where SHARING the music, not Downloading it.


Example I used to rip alot of music from internet music services, something that is legal to do under fair use. The Lic fee was paid by the already approved service by the RIAA. All I was doing was recording something that was "broadcasted" to me, which I am 100% allowed to do.


I would love for the riaa to prove that any music I have is illegally downloaded.

Well played joke. He wanted to land the monolith by parachute, and give a small sticker as the only reward for donating 100 bucks... Think about these things,


Well trolled sir, well trolled.
