Yes nothing beats the *Craft games especially because of infinite replayability. Of late though I have been enjoying Rise of Nations and it's expansion pack.
Our (yes, I work for Oracle) other web based Apps that have been built since 2001 all run on Mozilla too. Things work by and large on Konqueror (atleast 3.2.x) but there isn't much interest in officially supporting it.
When I was playing around with BASIC a long time ago, besides the details GWBASIC manuals from Microsoft, the other book that I really enjoyed was 1001 Things To Do With Your IBM PC. That book described so many things that could be done with BASIC. Best of all, it was not a listing of complete programs but rather tools and program snippets combined with ideas for building cool programs.
SMS, however, would be very cool and should be very quiet.
Last year, around March, when I was flying Singapore Airlines, they were introducing SMS services via their in-flight consoles. Being the introductory period, it was free and very convenient. I would guess by now they should have deployed it more widely in their fleet.
Of course I do recall that with my old Nextel (i700 plus -- that phone was a beast) I could tell when a call was incoming before the ringer went off because it would interfere with nearby speakers. I've never seen a cell phone other then that one (and I've used lots of different cell phones) interfere with anything though.
The same thing happens with my Sony Ericsson T616! It happens not only for voice calls but also SMS.
I think you're misinterpreting that site. Note that some of the checkboxes are checked while some aren't. "Under 7 lb. (heaviest model)" is NOT checked. Besides if you scroll down towards the bottom of that page, you'll see:
Average Dimensions and Weights
14.9" (378.0mm) W x 12.6" (320.0mm) D x 1.9" front - 2.2" rear (47.0mm - 55.0mm) H / 14.1 lb. (6.4kg) with combo drive, 15.7 lb. (7.1kg) with combo drive and battery
The simple solution is to take a vacation in India and buy all your text books cheap. Indian editions (in many case printed by the same publishing houses as in America) are rarely over $8-$10. A round trip air ticket would cost $800-$1000 and food/accomodation would be atmost $100-$150 per week. You'll get a nice couple of weeks of vacation and a year long supply of your text books.
I didn't see any one else comment about this. Just today we learned that KDE has full accessibility support. Reading about accessibility in GNOME it definitely appears as if the KDE offering is much more comprehensive. (Please correct me if I'm reading this the wrong way.) Shouldn't accessibility support play an important part in the selection of a desktop?
What's interesting is that with minimal trouble Winamp 5 installs and runs on Wine! (I'm using Wine 20031212.) That should open up Winamp 5 to a lot of people. I haven't done much experimentation but the player works (including Shoutcast streams), so does the equalizer. The visualization plugins however cause Wine to crash.
One of my most favorite places is the Golden Gate Bridge. Cross the bridge and head to the Sausilto side, then take a uturn right away, and you'll be heading back towards the bridge, but take the first right turn that goes up. And just keep going up, and up, and up and the top has one of the most spectacular views I've seen! Definitly don't miss it...
I second that. That place definitely has great views. And dont forget to continue on downwards beyond the fort at the top. Most people don't do that but it will take you to places where you completely shut out the city and it's just you and the vast Pacific. Just thinking about it makes me feel like visiting it - probably head over there this weekend:)

If one reads too many QBASIC books, one never matures and always remains an infant in the world of programming;)
Just wondering - what are you referring to as "the original" when you say "Well the original had 29,000 transistors,... "? If you start from the 4004, then according to Intel, the 4004 has the following specs:
Clock speed: 108 KHz
Date introduced: Nov. 1971
Process: 10-micron Transistors: 2,300
Addressable Memory: 640 Bytes
Read Tolstoy. The books can appear deceptively simple to read but they have so many insights into human society. Try "Anna Karenina" and "War & Peace".
I forgot to mention this but according to the CIA Fact Book entry for Singapore, it has a population of about 4.5 million in 692 sq km of area. That works out to about 1.6 million people iper 100 square miles! I'd say that that's close to what the article speaks of. (Ofcourse anyone who's been to Singapore will know that the population distribution is not uniform, given that a lot of Singapore is sparsely populated forest area.)
I'm surprised that I didn't see Singapore mentioned by anyone. It's is one of the cities I have seen which comes close to the private-car-free utopia. They have an excellent public transportation system comprised of taxis, buses and the mass rapid transit system (MRT), all maintained to exacting standards. People are encouraged to use public transportation not only by keeping costs low and availability high, but also, in true Singapore style, making it a very expensive proposition to purchase a car through a variety of taxes. Anyone buying a car in Singapore has to pay for a 10 year Certificate of Entitlement (COE) to obtain the car in the first place and then pay the same huge sum (several tens of thousands os Singapore Dollars) once ten years is up. There is a limited quota of COEs allocated each month by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) and demand almost always outstrips supply, pushing the price up.
Try Festival from the University of Edinburgh. It's been available for years and the team continues to make improvements to the system all the time. Source is available here. In the past, the Systems Development Laboratory at the Indian Institute of Technology has also experimented with using Festival for reading out documents in Indian languages, although I don't know the current status of the project.

Hmm ... I think you should stop buying any FPS games. The 5K Wolfenstein should be more than enough for you.

Slightly off-topic, but how can I get a whole range of IPv6 addresses allocated to me? Is there some procedure to do this?

Use JAD. It's the best one for Java. If you want a decent GUI front end, get DJ Java Decompiler.

Actually only one line of HTML is required:

As someone on BugTraq already figured out 10 days ago, it's caused due to a null value for the type attribute.
Sorry, I misread your comment. Looks like you are not interested in the spoken word but just easier visual reading.
