Oh... I didn't realize you were running without a kernel

Now I get it. @rolleyes@

You know, speaking as a systems engineer with 30 years experience and some software and protocol credits to my name:

That's pretty dumb giving out that much info on a server. Revise: it's willfully stupid.

I'm going to wager that your server is the only (or maybe one of ten) servers on the internet that regurgitate banned Chinese phrases in Kanji.

So unless your server is a honeypot... you're an idiot.

Remember Rwanda.....

Yea well Carl Johnson probably would not be executing a crime spree at a Starbucks nestled somewhere in Covina.

I mean... c'mon... is this going to be an activist issue? "Games discriminate against suburbia...."

Someone needs to get off my lawn.

Who wouldn't have predicted this?

Behind on process. Over budget on energy. Stiff competition.

If anyone is surprised they haven't paid attention.

Personally, I don't think Jobs deserves the hits he takes...

However...

I personally witnessed the no tags, park in handicapped, new car every 60 days behavior.

The parking lot of the Pepper Mill was the defacto Apple Computer smoking area. I used to have to walk past his car to get there.

Sorry...

Jobs does nothing without Wozniak. That was the alchemy. That's a fact not an opinion.

USENET?

Nothing was weirder than watching a couple of physicists or unix admins go over the cliff regarding some arcane, and strangely salient, mini-point of technology.

The best was when the owners of the first ISPs would argue about routing and peering. That is epic that will never be repeated.

Thin, hungry, and anti social is no way to go through life son....

Dear God protect us from the Gamers Nexus fans.

They will not inherit the earth.

Spoken like someone who wasn't there....

VR didn't spend enough time being tinkered with in a "bunch of garages" before being picked up by large corporations.

Imagine if ID software was acquired by some massive corporation right after Doom or Quake.

Meta will set the technology back by decades.

You don't get it....

People are hoping that if there is diversity in the gaming industry that there will be more innovation.

There hasn't been any real innovation since about 2005. Just regurgitation of dead end game types.

This is somewhat caused by the gaming industry and gaming distribution turning into a monolithic industry.

Boy I strongly agree with this.

For a long time I refrained from playing games that that didn't have a dedicated server component.

You can still find all variations, and versions, of Quake and Unreal Tournament servers all over the net- and those servers get used.

Even Quake Live has a dedicated server component.

It would be a dream for me to have a quality AAA MMO released that allowed you to run your own server.

Once can dream right?

"post-manned-spaceflight nation" seems a little ridiculous as a description for their current situation.

I'll let it hang there for a minute and see if I like it.

Nope... it's not like they are winning an award.
