I had probably four or five versions of Oregon Trail just on my Apple//c, and one did indeed have attacking Indians. You would encounter Injuns, and the game would say if they looked hostile or not (it was never wrong). You could keep going, circle the wagons (which had no effect), or fight. If they were hostile and you kept going, they'd raid your supplies. I don't remember what happened if they were friendly but you fought -- either they ran off or you killed innocent pixels.
I can't remember if that was the version on the 4-game disk[1] or the Microzine version; probably the former.
[1] All Western-themed, IIRC. OT, a text-based "defend the Alamo" game, some top-view Indian-fighting game, and I don't remember the other.
Yes. My local NPR affiliate doesn't do dynamic-range compression, so people speaking are much quieter than their music. It's annoying to have to twirl my volume knob during the news segments that involve both serially.
Article II, Section 4: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors".
You and me both. I would get picked on, I tried to fight back[1], I got suspended. Every time. Fucking pinhead principal kept telling me to go fetch a teacher when someone did that.
Yeah, I'm supposed to walk off when someone's following me and hitting me, look for a teacher when the nearest may be a ways away[2], and tattle./That/ won't get my butt kicked after school for being a rat. Gods forbid I try to be manly enough to defend myself.[3]
Fifteen years later and I'm still a little bitter. At least I'm in a different town and don't have to see any of those fuckers anymore.
[1] As much as I could, since I have no depth perception and thus can't accurately throw a punch. [2] Nobody's stupid enough to start a fight where a teacher might *see* you. [3] Did start carrying a Swiss army knife for just such an occasion. This was before ZOMG Columbine!, and I only had to wave it threateningly once outside of school.
Evidently you've never compiled your own Linux kernel. The kernel has a special option, set by default, to disable DMA on the CMD IDE chip, because the chip is buggy and using DMA on it can cause data loss.
The only fault with Apple is that they didn't issue a free driver update to disable DMA on those chips. I won't fault them for not replacing the chips, because no PC maker I'm aware of did either, and the things were fairly popular in the mid-'90s.
Now, the tech that insisted he had to remote into my laptop to verify that my battery had gone bad and would no longer retain a charge kinda pissed me off...
And rightly so. What's he going to look for, the connection suddenly going dead when you unplug it?
So? J. Random CS rep won't be trained on Solaris, because almost nobody uses it and training is expensive. The fault is yours for not translating what they wanted you to do into equivalent Solaris commands.
They're obviously going to want information like the output of a ping, or your IP address, or your MAC address. If you're too clueless[1] to figure out how to get that information to them, you shouldn't be blaming them.
[1] From your post, it sounds more like you're an arrogant ass.
Do you really think *this* crowd would use those tags less? Or any established Internet forum?
Taco changed the code; I'm guessing to disallow the stupid tags that got put on almost every story, like those you mentioned. Maybe to greylist those who kept tagging that way, too.
"The M28/30 rifles were built by the Civil Guard workshop known as SAKO" "M39s were produced by SAKO, VKT, and Tikka." "Late in the Continuation War Tikka produced M91/30 rifles."
In any case, the barrels, stocks, sights, bayonets, and triggers are unique to the Finnish M-Ns and were made either in Finland or in other countries, depending on the model, and assembled in Finland.
Slashdot Mirror
I remember that! I also remember that my 5th-grade science teacher asked (in a quiz) how to take a nail out of a full fish-tank without getting wet.
I put down that stuff and got half-credit because she expected me to say "magnet".
In my world, two or more stupids don't make a smart.

TANSTAAFL. The money for that's coming from somewhere, just as a hotel's "free" breakfast is.
Yes.
Buy stock in hearing-aid makers. Seriously.
Might as well take advantage of the fuckwits with doof-doof car stereos. "Revenge is a dish best served cold".

No it's not, dumbass. Impeachment is charging an official with a crime. He will then either go to trial or resign.
Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached but continued to be President. I suggest you pay attention to the world around you.
Of course it is. It's
1) a car analogy
2) a car analogy on Slashdot.
What's impeachment, then?

Oh noes, the liberal media.
And Bush did both of those.

Do you seriously think *that* would work? The legislators will fuck that up, too, and more people will serve longer sentences than they deserve.
Did you actually /use/ Netscape 4.0x? I can only assume you didn't, because Communicator/Navigator 4.0x was bloated and unstable shite.
Maybe you're thinking of 4.5 and later, but I had given up and bought an Opera license before that version was released.
We had a //c with second floppy drive. Yeah, I remember the notchers too, and the disks were /usually/ good for side-2 use.
I was an asshat and busted the joystick port on ours.
Heathen! The True Names are ][, ][+, //e[1], //c, IIgs, and IIc+.
[1] The later Platinum version of the e may have been IIe; I don't know.

Because gods know that end-users never lie, or that you'd get an end-user who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Think from the other guy's perspective.

You might want to tell Honda that, since they sell foglamps as an accessory on Civics.
Or you could do some research before posting.
