Star Trek Game To Launch Alongside New Movie 82

Posted by Soulskill on Friday April 24, 2009 @09:09AM from the set-phasers-to-not-terrible-please dept.

Paramount announced yesterday that Star Trek D-A-C will be available for download for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC when the movie is released on May 8th. The acronym in the title stands for different types of gameplay: Deathmatch, Assault, and Conquest. It's an arcade-style game, with a solo mode as well as multiplayer modes that handle up to 12 players. According to Joystiq, "It's a top-down 3D space shooter that doesn't require a lot of hardcore gameplay experience to jump into, but it features a large amount of strategic gameplay that'll please hardcore gamers." Several screenshots have been released.

You can also trick grep into displaying the filenames by adding /dev/null, e.g.,

find . -exec grep -l keyword {} /dev/null \;

Er, I meant without the '-l', so you get the filename and the matched line...

In 1934, Otlet sketched out plans for a global network of computers (or "electric telescopes," as he called them) that would allow people to search and browse through millions of interlinked documents, images, audio and video files. He described how people would use the devices to send messages to one another, share files and even congregate in online social networks. He called the whole thing a "réseau," which might be translated as "network" — or arguably, "web."

A fascinating read."
