I made no claims about the virtual machine - I only made claims about the compiler:

Has nothing to do with my post you responded to. Find a single instance of me mentioning C++.

I had a go at developing a simple Windows app that would (temporarily) disable the keyboard hooks that the majority of keyloggers use to capture keystrokes. I had some success, but the program isn't particularly stable and it can cause other applications to crash, but if you only want to log in to a browser and fire off a quick email it might help you. You can download it (and the Delphi source code) from this URL: http://members.lycos.co.uk/wuul/logthis/readme.html Note that this is *used entirely at your own risk*, please read the instructions carefully. I have left various options configurable so people can play around with settings & see which combinations defeat particular keyloggers. If anyone fancies trying to debug this and help to create a more stable version please feel free.

Just run a web server where you allow things like .. .

    index.php?main=xxx

and then watch the attempts that come in for xxx, they will
all be scripts that trigger the botnets. grab the scripts
and you have the irc server, the channel, etc.

A recent one that I saw was one katana.webchat.org in channel
#msdos -- no idea if it is still running (ironic since webchat
is supposed to have a security team). I reported it, but never
heard anything back).

Here are a bunch of other ones, access to botnets, free of
charge.

Use at your own risk, and maybe, these folks will get off their rear ends and shut these things down.

You're absolutely right.
There is a huge community out there improving on and refining the design, helping each other through builds. These cars (especially when fitted with light, powerful motorbike engines) can do 0-60 in under 4 seconds, lap racing circuits quicker than just about any road car and usually cost anywhere from $500 to about $12,000 to build. As far as value / performance goes they're untouchable.
A quick plug for the UK locost builders website http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/, and here's the web site for the one I built and raced myself http://members.lycos.co.uk/alister667/, although watch out Lycos is pop-up-tastic!

For women's shoes the standard unit of measure is the Imelda. In your wife's case that would be a bit over 2%.

(My wife and her friends refer to anyone with more than about .025 imelda as a "shoe whore", a term they don't seem to consider in any way uncomplimentary.)

Yeah this post seems off-topic, but what the hell, it's a math post, and math is pretty important to celestial navigation!

Still, at least Microsoft Bob was not a completely wasted effort - after all, you still have Rover the retriever to help you with searching in XP - and we all know that was worth waiting 10 years for...

Hey, Bob was a success for at least one person:

Who was the Microsoft project manager in charge of Microsoft Bob? A woman named Melinda French... who now has the married name Melinda French Gates.

Found it under another post here. This could help: http://members.lycos.co.uk/solfagra/extras/bc060.t xt

On-line dating DOES work. I met Carly on the free website Love@Lycos - and now we're engaged to be married!

A bit offtopic, but does this apply to British women?

Yes, but unfotunatly they all have bad teeth ;)

What is the taste difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi?

Standard colas are usually flavoured with an orange-lemon-lime behind the vanilla, coca and kola tastes. Coke is more orange-biased while Pepsi is more lemon-flavoured. Also, the sugar and carbonation is different, with Pepsi being sweeter and a little flatter.

What you've encountered here is akin to that phenomenon, only on a word-association level. You saw "W----s unstable" and your brain said, "WINDOWS!"

Its actually akin to this one :

This "JVMs are ass-slow" argument gets repeated a lot. There have been multiple benchmarks published demonstrating definitively that this is not the case -- in fact, Java can outperform C and C++ in many applications. Here is one reference for you to ponder. Of course, it's easier for most people to parrot hearsay rather than actually rely on empirical evidence to support their opinions.

Note that I'm not saying JVMs are inherently superior for all, or even most, applications. I'm just saying that things are a little more complicated than your one-line zinger would imply. I'm also saying that virtual machines can be very performant, with the right code-translation and caching strategies. (See my other post in another branch of this thread.)

The Russian Shuttle Buran ("Snowstorm" in Russian) was authorized in 1976 in response to the United States Space Shuttle program. Building of the shuttles began in 1980, with the first full-scale Aero-Buran rolling out in 1984. It was launched by Energia LV. read more here.

When I started The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe I don't think I foresaw what Aslan was going to do and suffer. I think He just insisted on behaving in His own way. This of course I did understand and the whole series became Christian. But it is not, as some people think, an allegory. That is, I don't say 'Let us represent Christ as Aslan.' I say, 'Supposing there was a world like Narnia, and supposing, like ours, it needed redemption, let us imagine what sort of Incarnation and Passion and Resurrection Christ would have there.

I am currently working on a selection of maps, to be used in conjunction with ETF which focuses on several minigames instead of CTF/duel and is meant for small playerloads (2-4 players) :

We Americans are not any better because our even smaller cargo planes are more expensive to operate and require better and longer runways, and cannot self-handle! Airport workers gaped as they had never seen a plane as big with all the independence it has. I was also amazed.

Yet another AC here but I would say that, if you're happy to ignore the other grammatical concerns one may have with the sentence, 'whoever' is correct (and the AC who suggested otherwise is a bell end).
In general; use who for the subject of a verb and whom for the object, and given that 'congratulations' is a noun and 'to' a preposition...

What about giving an url?

I've been doing my own water cooling systems for a few years now and have come to the conclusion that if you aren't a complete idiot you'll never have any trouble.

Here's my first project:
http://www.overclockers.com/tips1009/index.asp

I finished my second last September and have been using it since. I built the whole case from stainless steel tubing. One side of the case is pressurized for water distribution and the other side is a reservior. Here's a pic:

The great thing about is that I'm able to run my little 2.4C at over 3.4Ghz (I built it in Sept 2003, so it was a big deal) completely silently. The radiator is large enough that it doesn't need any fans. The only noise that comes from the case is the hard disks spinning.

Laaahvvley!

Actually, the Energia is quoted as being able to lift 100 tons to LEO, and 32 tons into a lunar trajectory.
Saturn V could put 118 tons into LEO, and 47 tons into a lunar trajectory.

OH, I agree with you! When you consider the most deadly weapons ever produced, it's the Russians who produced them. Even the chemical, bacterial and virii programs. Yes, that Aircraft the Antonov-225 is an amazing craft, capable of self handling and using short and unconventional runways. When you look at it, you cannot believe it can get off the ground with 250 tonnes as cargo alone. Its natural weight and that of its fuel is an addition! The latest M$ headache with IE originated from Russian servers. Russians are a force to reckon with.

Even though everybody seems to be talking about Lycos offering 1GB, I've seen very few people mention that Lycos' offer is not free.

To get the 1GB account you will need to cough up 3.49GBP a month.

Still a good offer though, if you don't have the option of running your own server, but definately not as good as Google's free version.

Hmmm ... not quite.

You'll need OpenOffice or (ewww) MSOffice to read it. Alternatively, there's a Google cache, but it isn't very interesting without the images.

You should see some of the stuff they post here, then! All sort of wierd creatures, amongst other things.

the one thing on my list of needed software is a SIMPLE photo editor

Well, a quick search on Freshmeat (bookmark it, you'll find it very useful) suggests the following:
If you're not after actual re-touching capability, VIPS might be what you want. (Oh, you are. Oops.)
Well, for the princely sum of US$25, JPhotoBrush Pro looks good (there's a trial version available for download).
For very basic manipulation, IV might do. And if you want something really basic...
If you're willing to play with something considerably less mainstream, PyWiew caught my interest for being pure Python. Does sound a bit esoteric, though.

Finally, you could see for yourself what else is out there. There's more than freshmeat, of course. Like the Linux section of Tucows.

Incidentally, if you have the time to learn it, Gimp can be very useful. Best way (like all *NIX at home learning) is to find someone who knows what they're doing and get them to teach you.

P.S. - If you like Linux, try FreeBSD sometime. Not as popular or well covered, but has advantages too.

HTH, etc.

Hand-rolled cigars (MPG)

They had their faults of course - high fuel consumption, and a limit on the weather they could handle, but they were impressive beasties in their day and great fun to ride in.

Speaking of which, this is prolly a good spot to add the obligatory link to the ultimate in truth in advertising.

Hostin' some file called "clit15.zip" on ya PC might get y'all some mo' problems tho ;)

It's called the Peep Show, and it's a fucking brilliant new Channel 4 comedy! It starts David Mitchell and Robert Webb! Watch it now, then reply! If you like this show, post here too!

Last year, I was a freshman at the University of Oregon and had a pretty tight budget. A friend of mine who was a senior had put together a site that listed a lot of used resellers for common texts used at lot of universities. It saved me a lot. You can submit links and even sell your own books without any fee. Anyway, here is the link.

I think this one is very clear - it's an alien tribute to John McCririck!

You are wrong, sir. Checking the *same guy's* site who wrote the TCP/IP stack -- CALL in EhBASIC is described as:

CALL calls a machine code routine at location address. While this in itself is useful it can be extended by adding parameters to the CALL and parsing them from within the routine.
This technique can also be used to pass extra parameters to the USR() function.

Reference here.

System, sir, is defined in the UNIX man page as:

system() executes a command specified in string by calling /bin/sh -c string, and returns after the command has been completed. During execution of the command, SIGCHLD will be blocked, and SIGINT and SIGQUIT will be ignored.

What's the similarity here? What version of BASIC are you referring to? Enhanced BASIC certainly doesn't behave in the manner you've described. Please do not patronize me any more. Thank you, sir.

I don't think that will work, even a little bit. If you look at the code (and the picture), it's pretty clear it's meant to run on just this hardware. In other words, most things in the code are very hard coded and non-flexible. Good luck anyway. :-)

Fat-fingered the paste. Rather, the source code is here.

The source code is here. See for yourself. :-)

That is called AN 225. AKA Mria. Exists in one copy. Flies. At least used to. Carrying a shuttle on its back. To 50000 feet apparently. And there are plans to use it as a launch platform.
