| If something's capped, then it was captured on a video capture card and put into .avi format or something. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

...The ACS source code?  Well, you were the one who came up with it so I can't see how it would give you a headache. |

| The news is on GameSpot, IGN and on several other sources - just do a Google News check. Basically Acclaim was in deep financial trouble and it finally hit the fan this weekend. They couldn't secure a $65 million loan and laid off all its employees as a result. The signs were already there - Acclaim missed payroll on August 15 which set off alarm bells. Acclaim didn't always make the best games out there but I remember them back to the NES days. They published quite a few games from small developers - like Rare.  They certainly had their big successes like NBA Jam and were in the business for 17 years, so... It's still a little shocking.Three games - Juiced, The Red Star, and Worms 3D - will likely still be published but not by Acclaim. (I'd guess Sega on Worms 3D, THQ on the others. ) |

| Ziff: I think the game itself is basically complete so it's just a matter of selling the rights to a publisher, likely at a cheap price. Acclaim gets money to pay off debts, the publisher gets what's almost a guaranteed profit even if the game blows. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Most likely Acmlm was playing around with it or some code was changed that messed it up. |

| CBC had Olympic coverage on 4 networks - CBC, TSN, SRC (French CBC) and RDS (French TSN). As for news highlights, CTV and Global could only show still images. However, our local CTV news could show video as their sports highlights are partially done by TSN. |

| Yeah, hopefully Gmail realizes one day that someone like me exists on this planet and will happily provide a green scheme at no charge. But only for me. |

| ...The code WORKS. It might be sloppy and old and everything else but... It works. And I'm happy with it at the moment unless you really feel the code is totally non-complient. |

| Acclaim made cash at some points... the ports of MK and MK2 for consoles raked in a ton of cash for them. But they couldn't keep up with the times, I guess... |
