I have some glasses from Elsa which work great. The arms are designed to stay well away from your head so the arms of your regular glasses dont interfere. Unless your lenses are the big goofy ones worn in the 80's these types of glasses should fit over them well.
I bought 2 sets of wireless LCD shutter glasses when I bought a TNT2 card from Elsa a few years ago. The most important thing with these is to ensure your monitor can do at least 100 hz refresh at the resolution you want. Any less will give you flicker and headaches. Personally I run most things at 800x600@140 hz and 1024x768@110 hz. The resolution isn't as nice as 1600x1200 but the immersion of being "there" is worth it. Make sure your room is dark as any other light will make your eyes go goofy, especially the flicker you'll see with 60Hz fluorescent tubes. nVidia now has native drivers for their cards and the old Elsa glasses work great with my new(er) GeForce 2 card. The older Elsa drivers and the new nVidia ones just use a DX &| GL hack to shift the axis of your eyes every other frame so the appropriate eye is blocked by the LCD during drawing.

Then again, I don't come from the half of the population where the majority of whom seem to think it's cute to name their genitalia.:)
Half of the population isn't the majority, unless I misunderstood you or the cold Canuck air has frozen my wee mind.:)) Hmm. You might have meant the majority of 50% which would mean 25.00..1% through 50.00% but now I'm getting anal.

Honestly, if IIS was as insecure as Slashdot likes to think it is, wouldn't the Microsoft site have been hacked more often?
Microsoft's site isn't the problem. The problem is the hundreds of thousands of sites run by people that don't have unlimited budgets like Microsoft, nor the knowledge of the internals, nor the tweaked OSs. MS tried tweaking the hell out of their Hotmail backend to no avail.
MS works OK on the desktop, heck I have one Windows machine at home for gaming but that's it. Robustness and security are not on the MS game plan, point-&-clickability and profit are.
I guess that's why Microsoft says UNIX is better.:) Truthfully, they spent US$400M on Hotmail, they have a virtually unlimited budget to make this show-pony dance and they've failed miserably. I know this isn't directly linked to "security", but check out from where that whitepaper originated.. that's right, an unsecured box in Microsoft.
watched as several thousand characters fought like hell while, in the background, a small contingent of combatants seemed to think better of it and ran away
Those characters had the AI modelled after French soldiers. You do know why the streets of Paris are lined with trees, yes? Because the Germans like to march in the shade.
So there I was saying to myself "Self, don't you find the gig fiber to work and the cable modem at home too fast?" and I replied "Yup. Sure do, how I long for the Olde Days." so I said to myself "Self, dust off that old Prometheus 1200 baud modem, hook it into the Apple ][+ and relax for a bit. Enjoy life at a slower pace when the hectic rush of modern life was unheard of." so I did.
Then I downloaded some ASCII pr0n and said "Self, are you out of your fucking mind?"
I'll never forget my first boot into the 1.x series many, many years ago.
I hear you. My not-terribly-100%-compatible-Unisys PC clone is *still* booting. It's been stuck at this "ramdisk" line for about 9 years. Any idea how long it will be before I, too, can enjoy Linux?
2.6? Pfff. FreeBSD is already working on 5.0 and OpenBSD already released 3.2. Therefore FreeBSD is almost *twice* as good as Linux and OpenBSD is about 25% better.
Don't ask me to do the math as to how much better Windows 2000 is.
We should all keep in mind this simple truth: Ellen Feiss is dying.
You don't need to be Kreskin to predict Ellen Feiss's future. The hand writing is
on the wall: Ellen Feiss faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future
at all for Ellen Feiss because Ellen Feiss is dying. Things are looking very bad for
Ellen Feiss. As many of us are already aware, Ellen Feiss continues to lose brain matter. Open track marks gush a river of blood.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Famed Apple executive Steve Jobs states that there are 7000 "Ellen Feiss" fan sites on the internet. How many fan sites to Yo-Yo Ma there? Let's see. The
number of Ellen Feiss versus Yo-Yo Ma posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio
of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Yo-Yo Ma
visitors. Hamilton Morris posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of
Yo-Yo Ma posts. Therefore there are about 700 stories about Hamilton Morris. A recent article put DJ Qbert at about 80 percent of the
scratch music market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Hamilton Morris
follower. This is consistent with the number of DJ Qbert Usenet
posts.
Due to the troubles of Ellen Feiss, abysmal results on her hair analysis tests and so on,
Jentry Poss is nowhere to be found . Now Gautam Godse is also dead,his corpse turned
over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Ellen Feiss has steadily declined in internet fan sites.
Ellen Feiss is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If
Ellen Feiss is to survive at all it will be among stoners, hobbyists, dabblers,
and dilettantes. Ellen Feiss continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could
save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Ellen Feiss is dead
Brown Daily: Good morning Ellen. Ellen Feiss: yo mannnn... BD: How was your time working with Apple? EF: Do you.. like.. have any crack? BD: umm.. EF: Apple gave me crack.. it was.. like.. really good crack. BD: Let's talk about your upbringing. EF: It was.. like.. gone.. BD: Your upbringing was "gone"?

No, no, no. You're reading it out of context. That's Mr. Gates telling you it's "My Computer"..
