I know one mac user that plays "real" computer games (and I had to install and enable a special codec on our ventrilo server so he could hear). The rest show me craptastic versions of guitar hero on their iProduct that are awkward to play.

Plura gets computer users to supply unused processing power in exchange for access to games, donations to charities, and spyware.

Telus denied the muncipality I work for access to an unloaded copper pair sighting the CRTC ruling. We wanted the line so we could put our own dsl devices at the end points, one at city hall and the other at the remote office. Instead of letting us do this, Telus suggested we use business adsl and use vpn. Great idea, it's only quadruple the price, runs over the Internet, and is factor of ten times slower due to the low bandwidth they offer and the encyption. That's that or go on their managed service for ~$500 or more a month. What irks me the most is they will give us the line but they will go out of their way to load it so it's unusable for dsl. I should just see if I could grease a tech $50 to unload it for us.

I typed in microsoft.com/ie into my browser and it took me to the microsoft page about IE fyi.

If a guy that gives the wrong finger can hack the world's oil supply we're all in trouble.

I played the original Jumpgate and found it mostly PvP orintated. I liked how I could jump into combat and, while your ship did matter, player ability was the main factor. Killing Krakken (PvE) was a secondary goal when no action was taking place. My favourite thing to do was baiting greifers in my scout and taking them right to a waiting trap. Ah the memories.

Apart from playing in matches on the OGL or TWL, I miss listening to shoucasts of matches while hanging out in irc chatting.

All successors to the original Tribes have failed at capturing the feel. Anyone who spent any time with Tribes knows this.
