Open source givers and takers - Taking without giving isn't the problem. We need better open source contribution ...

We need better metrics to adequately gauge corporate participation in open source. For example: How many companies have employees who work on open source projects on their own time or company time, unbeknownst to the managers who fill out surveys?

Bring back the old games

I started my passion for computers as young lad. Windows wasn’t widely adopted yet and we were all in the command line in DOS with the infamous “C:\>” prompt. I even took DOS classes and at that time, I was the only one taking that class below the drinking age. While in Ateneo Grade School, I was always one of the people in front of the line to the Computer Lab taking learning BASIC and LOGO.

Street Fighter II: DOS Version -With Commentary-

Okay, this is possibly one of the worst conversions of a video game i've ever seen. Granted this was on DOS, and even the SNES had a hard time with trying to fit all of SFII on there, but still. Massive physics changes, entire control scheme changes, different sprites, almost no music selection, entirely broken bonus stages, the list goes on and on. Also possibly the only Street Fighter game where Dhalsim is S-Tier, too. Hell, he's in a tier of his own, Dhalsim-tier. You can get many DOS games like this, called "abandonware" (as the original creators don't sell the game anymore) at www.abandonia.com legally and free. If you're going to Fan Expo in Canada, I was going but I can't go anymore, so if you're looking for a weekend ticket i'm selling mine for $15 cheaper than the regular price (and I checked with the expo, it's legal to do this), so i'm selling at $45. You can contact me as always at azuritereactionbusiness@yahoo.com about that, if you're interested. Want to see stuff I do besides video games? Go check out www.youtube.com
