    Anymore WoW's?

    There are plenty of fantasy races they could add for character creation, or even mixed race characters (i.e. half-breeds) that could invade or transform the world. They could add "ages" and time travel could be accomplished through engineered time machines or mysterious obilisks... this would...

    The Pirate Bay Verdict!!!

    Hmm... lots of programmers in that list. ;) Fact is, Bill Gates built a financial empire on the work of the computer science club, who shared everything. Although he admittedly paid $20,000 for the software MS DOS was based on, it was reverse engineered from somebody else's program. Windows...

    What's the meaning of life?

    No, it was 42. for which the question was, "what do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?" Coincidentally, 42 is the correct answer in base thirteen.

    What should I learn?

    A little Java goes a long way, especially in the mornings. ;) Seriously, If you want to learn coding I'd pick (an app language like) Java (not JavaScript) or C#. Once you learn how to code in either of these picking up scripting languages like php will be a breeze. Then all you'll need is a...

    Sid Meier's Civilization III

    actually, i prefer II. i love the actors for the advisory council and i'm not a big fan of the damage meter for units (does it really take 10 years to repair a unit of spearmen?) but i suppose if it's realism you're looking for... should ghandi really live from 5000 bc to ad 1779 when you launch...

    yes, but then again, i have to do something when i retire. ;) looking at the technical requirements, i think i'll have to use my isp as the host. no worries, i'll find another use for my x10 site. i'm thinking of using phpnuke as a development news portal, that i could host here.

    thanks, i'm comfortable enough with the php and sql. i guess i'll spend some time on the weekend going over the fbml. my eventual plan if for a mmorpg, but i thought the fb app would force me to get started on the structure... i'll just let it grow from there. if you want to take a look at...

    Microsoft & Dell to Merge - An April Fools Joke??

    Successful companies are the ones that use economic downturns to buy and build. Dell would be a good fit for Microsoft, as their online system builder makes it very easy for them to showcase and bundle their software. I'd guess Dell is probably the biggest single buyer of MS products. The...

    Do you watch anime?

    When I want a laugh, I still enjoy watching Ranma 1/2 from time to time... even though I've seen them all a dozen times. It's like watching the Coyote vs Roadrunner again and again. And who can resist the nostalgia of Robotech? I even like the Japanese version with subtitles.

    actually, i don't know why, but i always liked the one where the astronauts were flying overhead and they tried to spell sos with buring logs.

    Ginger or Marianne

    They were all doofuses. How else could you explain getting trapped on a lush tropical island with an old rich guy, a science geek and a fat bald guy and still not get any from either the actress bimbo or the farm girl? Also, science geek figured out a way to charge the batteries for his...

    Ginger or Marianne

    Ok, I know this poll has been done to death... I just couldn't resist. I've always been more of a Ginger fan myself but can appreciate the Marianne's too. For the twisted ones I'll even include Mrs Howell.

    Aliens?

    or perhaps they liked the t-shirt and thought it would be cool to have one. people bought ghostbusters and x-files t-shirts. what's wrong with spreading the wealth to non-corporate artists? the audio tapes might be fun to play on halloween, or in the hospitality suite at a convention. as uhura...

    Do you believe in God?

    If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him. --Voltaire If we take knowledge (the forbidden fruit from the tree of life) and use it to explain everything around us we are still left with unanswered questions. One might take the sum of the unanswered questions and equate them...
