"You know, as a gamer and game developer" - What? he is?

"While in the past I used Macrovision's SafeDisc, I switched to Starforce
ProActive (the online activation version of the CD-ROM protection) for UCG
and UCAWA. We haven't received a single complaint." - Not surprising really,
nobody bought the game.

I stopped reading at that point.

I'm only sorry you had to learn it from D*r*k Sm*rt.  Wasn't there some
sort of warning label?  "Caution: you are about to purchase sub-par, cheap,
and largely inferior hardware with which you will run cheap, inferior
media"?  Why, there oughtta be a law ....

Didn't you know? The Euro 1800XT only has 8 pixel shaders and the US
version has 16.

So very sad, too. I, being a philanthropist of gaming, took him on his 
word and installed the UCAWA demo. Upon beginning the thing, I wondered 
what half-blind dyslexic monkey would code such a shitty UI, sub-par 
graphics (which should go well with Mr. Smart's subpar, inferior 
European hardware), strange gameplay, ugly menus, and general "wtf?". 
Most assuredly not the "ressurection of the spacesim genre" he likes to 
tout it as.

More like playing his own flute to suffice his MASSIVE ego.

The larger the group of people that Mr. Smart can insult means the greater 
the population that he can feel superior to. 

What I want to know is, how many people buy (and like) his games that he
stays in business for all these years?
Also, does anyone know where his phd is supposed to be from, as it would
surely be fairly easy to check if it's real or not?

Wikipedia him, they've got a good story on why Mr. Smart doesn't, in 
fact, have any real proof of a Ph.D in any form.

A tad OT, but why is he referred to as "Taco Commander"?

A term which evolved from "Taco Supreme," originally coined by a long-gone 
poster with the then handle of "Commander Krud."  It referenced the Taco 
Supreme, a menu item which I think was available at Taco Bell.  A play on 
the term "Supreme Commander."  IIRC, Krud first used it on AOL's Take2 board 
in 1996, shortly after the release of BC3K.  So long ago......

I don't think that Commander Krud actually played BC3K. Derek was bragging 
about multiplayer way back in the days of the BC3K Release 1.0 disaster and 
declared that he would be "Supreme Commander" and code special godly things 
into his game that would be special for himself and the game and the whole 
fan base would refer to him as Supreme Commander.

I have Commander Krud's explanation of the origin of Taco Supreme Commander 
(then shortened to Taco Commander) from the old AOL logs and believe that it 
was placed in the online archives. probably in this directory

There is a simple logic here. 
Everyone knows that the good Doctor always tells the opposite of the
truth right? So if he insists that European hardware is sub-par to
North American hardware then the opposite is true. It is in fact the
case that American computer hardware/software is far inferior to the
proper stuff we Europeans enjoy. And it's a great shame too, because
I'm sure that the Americans who post here, people like Bret Ripley and
Bill Huffman for instance, are in reality entirely lucid human beings,
unfortunately due to the low quality of their equipment all their
utterances are rendered nonsensical and illiterate. 
Alas, it has always been the case.

The opposite?  You mean European hardware is sub-par to South American

people in India and purchased from an Arab? Would you have to read the

The relationship between the number of times you ask that question and the
number of potential opposites is probably as close to 1:1 as makes no odds.
For example, please note that the natural opposite of "European" is in fact
"British."

That thread ended with Derek Smart making accusations against one of the 
AVault members, and the thread was locked while the mods "sorted it out". It 
looked very serious - and DS would be up for some court action if he was 
proved to be lying.

Here's hoping he really gets what's coming to him this time.

Derek is an academic fraud that will unlikely get what is coming to him 
until Florida fixes their broken law making it illegal to claim a bogus 
degree or he moves to a state that already makes it illegal to claim an 
unearned degree. 

 "Bill" risked the wrath of Usenet weenies mastering

I love you Bret :-) You are an officially sanctioned, learned at a

He has a wife and a she's had his babies. Probably 4 or 5 years old by now.
Does DSmart still read this newsgroup? If he does, I imagine he'll threaten
lawsuit against me for revealing this fact that he himself mentioned dozen
times per day a few years ago.

Another multiplayer promise from the fraud that will apparently go 
unfullfilled. Of course, he has admitted since that he hates playing BCM 
because it has gotten so boring to him. So much for his promise that it will 
be the last game you'll ever desire. Oh wait that is the last game we would 
ever desire, never mind.

Well, if they *are* real...I pity them.  Can't imagine it'd be easy living 
with someone with that kind of personality...

Shame on you lot - do you not read your Heinlein?

PhD stands for "Piled Higher and Deeper", and I'd just like to say that it's 
never been more appropriate.

What *was* his "unique contribution to the sum of human knowledge" that is 
the requisite of a PhD anyway?

The rain is decidedly not by proxy.

Oh, okay.

Hey, wait a minute here..what's wrong with disinterested lust? Someone
hit the TacOps display so I can get an overview. I'm clueless without
it. =P

That is a matter of interpretation. But an entirely different

Yeah..They are.. but I can't, for the life of me, think of a single

Zombie.

I never gave them much of a listen, to be honest.

Now you're talking.

Uh.

How about Pink Floyd?  Led Zeppelin?  The Beatles, The Who, The Doors?
Jimi Hendrix?  Simon & Garfunkel?

I do?  In that case, I retract Simon & Garfunkel.

I'm not the one that has time to play BCM! (or whatever the current name for 
the game is)

I think that they skipped that part of the doctorate process in Derek's 
case. The not so unique process that Derek participated in was to make a 
monetary contribution to an academic fraud then get a diploma which Derek 
then put in a scan proof glass and frame.

If you search the internet for Narcissitic Personality Disorder (NPD) you 
will find that the vast majority of the NPD material is for people that must 
deal with family members and collegues that have NPD. NPD's think that they 
are perfect and don't need any help so the people searching for NPD help are 
the victims that have to deal with the messed up NPDs. Derek seems to have 
the most typical case of NPD that is possible.

He probably flies into NPD rages at a whim and then beats the crap out of 
whoever is near. There's an NPD lady at work. She beats the crap out of her 
kids for things like asking if they can pick out their own meal at a fast 
food drive thru restaurant or asking if they can pick out what shirt they 
will wear to school. She thinks that she's normal and assumes that the whole 
world is full of people that are as messed up as she is. In contrast, Derek 
makes this lady look like a saint. So it would seem to be a very safe bet 
that Derek's immediate family members are either out of his reach or in 
severe need of help.
