One of the modifications I did to Dennis' program was to make the 'pid' monsters only take damage from the player. That way, they would fight, but not kill each other off. See my user URL for the version of DooM I worked on.
If you use OEX and get a message in such a format, just drag it to your desktop, edit it with a text editor to remove the offending extra space after the 'begin', and drag it back to OEX.
Or you could just look at the message source via the 'properties' context menu item.
That doesn't excuse MS for the stupid unpatched bug of not looking for a corresponding 'end' of a UUencoded attachment...
First, I have to say that I like your response to when people send you MS Word files. Very creative.
I also agree that you should tell people why you think something they do is stupid.

What other mailer can sync with Hotmail/MSN for offline mail management? I find that a very compelling reason to use OEX. Of course, as soon as Mozilla supports the protocol that OE uses, I'll turn to the lizard!

Well, it was actually DooM which was modified.
I took what Dennis (the original author) did and improved upon it with the sourceforge project psdoom.
Unfortunately, I have had very little time to work on it in the past year and a half or so.:-( I'll try to eventually put the rest of my modifications on sourceforge (mostly updates to the tcl/tk frontend and an update to a more recent XDoom source base). I don't have access to my new code right now, though, so it may be some time before that happens.
WRT Quake, I *was* contacted by someone who pointed me towards the QuakeForge project (quakeforge.net) with a suggestion to make psQuake, but I knew that I didn't have the time to invest in learning Quake code, too.
>His [Stern's] "towelhead" jokes were in bad taste, even for him, considering the millions of innocent americans who are now being attacked for the color of their skin and the fashion of their dress.
Uh, not that I'm a huge Stern fan, but I did rely on his show for updates on Tuesday. I also distinctly remember him telling the audience to not be prejudiced and lash out by eg. "kicking the crap out of some poor taxi driver who just happens to look arabic".
Yes, Howard Stern says inflamitory things at inappropriate times. However, I don't think he would be so irresponsible as to suggest actions of revenge based on how someone looks.
I had a Dell laptop. I sent it back under the 30 day satisfaction guarantee.
True, it was running WinME (a sin on/.) but it seems that the integrated modem/nic drivers needed a bit more tweaking. As soon as they were installed, the computer wouldn't act right when I tried to 'restart' windows. I tried a clean (fdisk/format) install, but then the NIC wasn't autodetected by plug-and-pray. When I manually installed the drivers, the card ended up on IRQ 0!!! I gave up and sent it back.
The specs were awesome:
PIII 900, 512M ram, 20G hdd, combo modem/nic, GeForce2...<sigh>
Is there any other laptop maker that supplies GeForce2? I know Toshiba does, but you can't create a custom hardware configuration for anything.
In some places in this country, you go and you pay taxes on food and on books, but you don't pay taxes on what you buy on the Internet. Even though the small businesses in this country are the ones that support the charity and fiber of the community. It's really not fair.
Personally, I like not having Internet purchases taxed. Heck, it's one of the few things that isn't taxed...yet.
It seems like the failure of the show is being blamed on mis-management. I don't think that is the (only) reason. Perhaps:
1) There are just too damn many trade shows, especially Linux-centric ones. People see YALTS (yet another linux trade show) and say 'yawn'. 2) It's in the Midwest, for crying out loud. I can see the draw of, say, Las Vegas. But Kansas? Nothing against Kansas, but combined with the yawn factor above, it seems to make things that much less interesting.
> The problem is...who wants to shoulder the expense of running a proxy, while running legal risk at the same time, for free?
If you build the proxy into the gnutella server, then you can have a countless number of proxies to go through before reaching the real download server. Just an idea...

It is similar to your example about Perl. Doom was originally licensed under a rather restrictive license (no commercial use, etc). Later, id Software re-released the (same) source under the GPL. Many Doom "port" authors switched to the GPL at that point. At least one (ZDoom) did not. Throw in a little Heretic/Hexen and Quake, and you can see where a license conflict comes in.:-(
> consider the current UltraSPARC version as beta-software
<RANT> Shoot, I consider the x86 version to be beta! I tried installing from a CD hooked up to the ProAudio Spectrum's SCSI connector. This particular driver has been available since I first installed Linux back in '95. The adapter was listed as a SCSI option, but when I selected it, insmod couldn't find pas16.o. I tried several things to get the stupid thing to work, to no avail. Looks like I'm sticking with RH5.2 for now. </RANT>
> I don't think anything would stop it from running... DOOM!
Well, you probably already know this, but Linux has had a (semi-official) Doom port for quite a while. And since iD released the source, there are at least 2 more ports under active development right now.
I'll also take this opportunity to shamelessly plug psDooM again.:-)
Slashdot Mirror
I just want configurable toolbars. :-(
That, and all the dataloss/crasher bugs fixed.
For gestures, check out Optimoz. I tried it in an early stage and it seemed to work well, though I never got used to it.
For quick access to preferences, look at Preferences Toolbar. I seem to remember that MultiZilla also has quick access to common prefs.
Hope that helps!

I remember reading on /. about another filesystem called tux2 .
The web site is here, but I don't really see anything giving a status update.
Anyone know anything about this project?
I dunno... *I* thought it was funny...
OT: Heard anything about the link (or not) between B-K and B-T?

Well, not quite flawlessly. From the page: And I definately see "obvious rectangular borders" around the said png's.

Yeah, Donkey Kong 64 for the Nintendo 64 has the original DK embedded in it as well as at least one other old arcade game (I can't remember the name).
