I bought that game the day it came out -- I still have all three Unlimited Adventures 1.44mb floppies in my room, though I doubt I could jump right into it now. But that is the game that got me into modding.
If you took a moment to actually find out anything about the game, maybe from interacting with anouther human being, or quite possibly just reading at higher than a kindergarden level, you would know that there is no CD swapping involved.
I live on the east coast too, and I dreaded all those osprey crashes, too.
Nothing like a brown-grey bird of prey slamming into you freshly cleaned window at 60 mph because a kitten ran across the floor to make you spill all that 150degree McDonald's coffee on yourself.

good news found. Not mindless drivel of inane clowns. This tale of woe and of deep dread makes no sense and hurts one's head. I don't see what's so spiffy. Just give me more news
all about netBSD.
What the hell is going on? I'm one of those 'bad' kids. I'm currently 18, living in a College town, planning to start school when I can save up the tuition ( sometime in fall. )
I've been smoking since I was 11 -- My parents told me not to. I did it anyway. It was my choice. No one elses. It's something I wish I'd never started, but it's not up to anyone else to tell me I can't smoke but my parents. They said they didn't want me to, but they knew I would do it anyway.
I also drink. Alot. On average, once a month or so I go out and get so drunk I can't play pool anymore for the fact that I have to ask every 5 seconds if I'm solids or stripes. Note that it is illegal for me to do that.
I may not be the perfect person, but I was raised by my grandparents for the most part, and for a long time most of my friends where senior citizens. I seem to have adopted their attitudes towards some things. I find it rediculous that I can't smoke at 17, but I can die for my country. At 18 I can smoke and die for my country and pay taxes, but I can't drink. And don't get me started on consentual sex between minors. When I was fifteen if I had sex with a 16 year old girl because of the laws in my state, I would have been guilty of statutory rape.
I'm all for government looking out for my interests, but government seems to have forgotten what my interests are. Parents have to be allowed to make decisions for their children as long as they aren't starving or beating them to death, scitisne?
Ebola does not die quickly outside of it's host. HIV dies within 15 seconds of hitting Air. Ebola is known to be active for atleast 4 days after 'exiting'.
Obviously you know nothing about what CSS is, or are just stupid. Let me enlighten you.
In the beginning, there was the Web.
All was good. Bandwidth was, on average, low, but sites were small and to the point, and loaded quickly.
People began to use frames and many other things, marring the content with style.
But then, in this dark hour, when web pages loaded slowly and all hope was lost, a light appeared in the darkness.
It was CSS.
CSS is based on the idea that content, which is the actual information of a web page, should be entirely seperate from the style of a web page, which is defined by the CSS. If you disable CSS, the webpage should load as plain text and pictures and form elements, no spiffy navigation bar here, no sidebar here. Something that text-readers can understand and that loads very quickly. The CSS file also loads quickly, and by combining the two into one a web page can be made small, while still full of content and aesthetically pleasing.
Here in the US our Space Program is hampered by whiny politicans who complain about its cost and by people who don't seem to understand that anytime you make people sit ontop of a several story tall candle and light it under their asses there's a big risk involved.
But if there's one thing we hate more than spending money and risk, it's being shown up by Godless Communist Heathen Scum like you. So this will spur the Republicans to have a Moon Base in no time!
...that the Linux Kernal had inculded in it code which allows it to perfectly emulate a Windows Machine for the purpose of running Windows Software, Microsoft will begin to die.
Finally, something that I can watch movies on during those long, boring rides in the car, or on the plane, or during class when I should be taking notes!
This is truly the end all of my personal video needs.
If only there was some device like this already on the market, one that I could play games on and send email and program on, too.
Oh well. I'll have to stick to my TV for watching things and this wonderful little LapTop for the rest.
Tell me where you live, so you may be killed to prevent the human race from learning of my ship, off in the direction of the Constellation you beings call Saggitarius.
I know what colour I'm painting my walls next week! Every colour of the spectrum, in a slow rotation cycle defined by background noise and controled by my toaster that runs BSD!
Or I could just make a lifesize picture of Morgan Webb.
I wish these guys served DSL where I live. It would mean I could get rid of the 'emergency Plan B' device I keep in my bedroom, one of those magnets they use to move cars.
I mean, it's great, and it's sure to work, but the switch is so close to my light switch.

Just install the base game and use the play CD.
Want to install an expansion?
Install it and then use the original play CD.
Was that really that hard?

I think I should add a 'You insensitive Clod!' here for the sake of 'fitting in.'
The days of yore

Long forgotten

When there was here good news found.
Not mindless drivel

This tale of woe

makes no sense

what's so spiffy.

No, how about the fact that my ship (or part of it) is currently buried in Lacis Solis?

...who are braindead, one Petabyte is approximately 10 to the 15th power in bytes. If you're a harddrive manufacturer.
It's also estimated that a Petabyte is all the storage space required to hold the memories of a hundred year old human being.

It's easy. Just make it so your box will not accept root connections on SSH.
Linux has been around for about 10 years. Windows a few years longer.
As of the writing of this, I am aware of 6 virus that can infect a Linux system. I can count 6 on two hands.
I would need the entire population of New York to count all the Windows Viruses on their hands.
...that the Linux Kernal had inculded in it code which allows it to perfectly emulate a Windows Machine for the purpose of running Windows Software, Microsoft will begin to die.
Now I just need to build a time machine.
This is exactly what I've needed for YEARS!

Email me at my email address with specs and about what you'd be looking for for it.
Tell me where you live, so you may be killed to prevent the human race from learning of my ship, off in the direction of the Constellation you beings call Saggitarius.
I'm already here.
Where is the one you call Jack Brennan?

I've been waiting for this for a long time. I'm still using Borland C++ Builder 5.0. I think. Whatever the latest patch was.
I think it's time to break out the champange and do a happy-naked-pagan-dance 'round the stonehenge of mainframes in the back yard.
...so this is how me and my friends were watching a DVD quality copy of LotR: The Two Towers a week before the release of the movie.
Ours had something scrolling on the bottom to the effect of, "DVD Screener Copy"
