  Re: Brickgame [connect 4] algorithm
 
(...) heh, I liked it. Never thought of trying a connect 4 game... I did write a tic-tac-toe that learned from experiance... hmmm... I'm trying to think of a way to quantify the killing play (one that leaves you two ways to win next turn) without (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Brickgame [connect 4] algorithm
 
Ok, I'm a geek. I admit that. But now that I've got that out of the way, lemme say I've always loved connect 4, just because it's such a more strategic game (like checkers, rather) than one typically accounts for-- rather than say, tic-tac-toe, (...)

(...) Well, according to CNN, there is but one career in the entire IT gammut that does not entail direct interaction with networks or personal computers. That is the Technical Writer. I am a Technical Writer. Unlike network administrators, UNIX (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I'm an aeronautical engineer, by my education. I was a "Rocket Scientist" (really..:-) for the first two years of my carrier, I decided that I didn't want to spare my job hours in front of a workstation by coding simulation programs, and I (...)

  Whew! Just fixed a mess. Vision Command owners read :)
 
I just solved a problem I was having.... this may help someone else! Recently (as in the last 2 weeks) I installed an ethernet card and cable modem, I upgraded to Direct-X 8, I replaced my aged Celeron300a with a Celeron-II 600, and installed Lego (...)

  Re: Geeks and Toys on Netslaves
 
(...) Well I guess I am a greek. I am a structural engineer, and looking back on things - I actually learned a good deal about structural mechanics just by building with Lego as a young child.

  Re: Geeks and Toys on Netslaves
 
(...) I would probobly call myself a geek. I am currently studing computer science at university and I also spend most of my spare time on the computer, a lot of which is pulling various games to bits and working with editors for them and so on.

  Re: Geeks and Toys on Netslaves
 
I think you maybe misunderstood what I was saying! I didn't mean that being a firefighter was what made me "not" a geek! I was just stating it for the original question as to what AFOL's do! Second, I was saying that if I was walking a fine line (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  skipstone
 
For everyone lookin' for a good web browser on *nix: check out Skipstone. (URL). It's a pure Gtk+ browser that embeds mozilla gecko. Unlike Galeon, it's *just* gtk, sans the GNOME baggage. Current cvs builds (linked with cvs mozilla) are really nice (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
