There's a modern remix of Space Debris on the soundtrack of the 2011 game Rochard by Recoil Games. It was made by the original artist Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsapsOqc7UI

I've started doing some maintenance on my old computers. I just finished recapping my Amiga 1200 earlier this week and this morning I ordered a long T15 torx driver so I can open up my old classic Macs. I'm also planning on lookin

There was another bug in the original Transport Tycoon (not Deluxe) that gave an even easier way to make massive amounts of money. If you built a tunnel through the whole continent the price integer rolled over and instead of paying a ton o

>UFO: Enemy Unknown (aka: X-Com outside North America). You got it backwards. The PC version was known as X-COM: UFO Defense in North America and UFO: Enemy Unknown outside North America.

Calling this just a metro/subway map seems incorrect at least in Helsinki's case. Its map seems to also contain all tram, commuter train and even a couple of main bus lines.

I've been staring at the logo for a few minutes now and I cannot make head or tails of it. It just looks like a random squiggle to me.

"PC World magazine named Stretch one of the biggest project management failures in IT history." It would be interesting to know more about this. The Wikipedia article doesn't really go into any detail and neither does the sou

This is part of the new PowerToys utilities. There's already a post on Hacker News front page about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20890828

I hope this will allow me to finally ditch Chrome on Mac. On Windows I changed to Firefox when Quantum was released but on my old Macbook Air it has been too slow to use as my main browser.

Cool stuff. I wonder how long it will take until speech synthesis is at the point where it can be used to create dialogue for video games. Obviously it would (at least initially) replace just the less important stuff spoken by background ch

In my mind, "network play" refers to playing multiplayer games over a network, which this isn't? This is about playing a Game Boy game on an emulator that is running on a server somewhere, which sounds very much like "Cl

I've noticed a formulaic approach in Japanese video game development, where most games within a genre seem to have very similar mechanics as opposed to western made games. The RPG genre seems to be the most obvious example. If you take

I have a kind of opposite problem on an old Lenovo laptop where Windows boots just fine every time but any Linux distro I try randomly fails to boot with an ACPI error. It's not a RAM issue though. AFAIK there's some bug in the UE

Looks like you're right. Ice hockey is the national _winter_ sport of Canada while lacrosse is the _summer_ sport.

I'm not saying that you're wrong about them not selling that many of these but I don't agree that the only people who would be interested in them are "Type A" personalities. This morning on my way to work the driver
