All I want is a nice script to run on my blog/site that I just have to type a title and a message and it will automatically be put into the "static" page, and it shows the latest X posts, and automatically groups entries in an archive by month. Is that so much to ask?
Sucks too, cause I don't know anything about scripting, and school is right around the corner, so I don't have time to learn. I need my blog for the school year!
I've a 1.2 TBird with 640MB RAM, and last time I checked I had EAX enabled (I too have an SB Live). I can't stand 8x6 on my 19" monitor, so I run 1024x768. I should try bumping down the textures to 32 and bumping back the detail (cause I zoom all the way out anyway). I'll try next time.
I'm a gamer in and out. Right now I'm a bum computer technician, since there weren't many games worth playing over the summer (no good NWN mods, I suck at WC3 so therefore I didn't buy it) as well as no console games. When I'm a PCGamer though, I do go full force (within reasonable budgets and current deals my friends have on their old hardware).
I'm personally waiting for the Giga-byte version of what I stated up above, still with onboard RAID, as well as USB 2.0 and Firewire. I give them a couple of months and they should have a high end board with it, and in a few more all of them. They already do on-board LAN and 6 USB (4 1.1 and 2 2.0 I believe) and FireWire onboard (later two through headers). I've used them constantly in building machines (pretty much all the non-heavy duty "real" file servers I've built use GB boards, and I like their product.
BTW, I checked Asus after the fact, and they don't have any boards displayed for Hammer, unless the XP boards will take it (which I should probably know but don't).

Maybe where you live. Over half my customers that use dialup use AOL.
Fortres(s, could have sworn it was two) is basically a program that locks out certain things in the Windows UI and functions. It doesn't block webpages. I know it can disable ALT+CTRL+DEL (REALLY fun in a programming class when you run into an infinite loop and can't kill it), the My Computer icon, as well as other things. It's installed at my HS, and it's pretty secure if they set it up right (I've never made an active attempt at trying to crack it, as in researching), but about 30% of the time if one thing is left open, all others can be accessed (sure, disable win+e and my computer and hide the drives in the window when cd..'ing from a directory, but if you make a url to a drive suchs as file:///c:/ you can access it, via creating a shortcut in Word).
Computers are tools, nothing more. You need to know how to USE them; knowing how they work internally is of very little importance to most people (as it should be). Click-type-click-type is pretty much what most people should know about computers....
Click-type-click-type isn't the best way to learn it at all, imo. The main problem is that people learn ONE thing, and EXACTLY that one thing, and only memorize what those things do. Like opening something in MSWord, they'd most likely click on the little open icon, or just maybe use File-Open (don't even think about ctrl-o or whatever it is, I don't use shortcut keys for stuff like that in Word). To be OSS-friendly, let's say we put them in front of OpenOffice. They will sit there frozen, not knowing what to do, because it's "entirely different" to them. People need to be taught the basics of UI that are commonplace across OS and programs, not you click here to do this. It's basically like teaching the difference between 2+2=4 because it DOES and WHY it does.
It is far more important that schools teach basic skills, like math, english (just look at the atrocious spelling and grammar here on slashdot!) and critical thinking, than anything else.
Here here. I know I don't have perfect grammar and spelling, and I usually don't bother to check, because 99% of the time what I'm trying to type comes out, and spellcheck and autocorrect fix the rest. I see people in my same class (grade wise, not class-level-type wise) failing on how to do just-beyond basic math. I know not all people excel in math, but you need to know how to do more than MDAS, there's also the PE part of it (PEMDAS - order of operations for anyone that's never heard of the acronym).
What if I'm working on a paper at my school computer lab, and I forget a floppy to save to. I don't have a USB keyring HD (not that it's probably plug and play with w98, and not that it'd be fun to have to reach around the computers on the floor to get to the ports), and I need to email something to myself? Sure, if I have my own mail server running, it works sometimes. Other than that I usually have to find a semi-competent teacher, or one that doesn't think I'm another teenage idiot that thinks they know about computers and have them log in with teacher rights, and then have them watch me log in to one of my random mail servers.
I really don't think investing in a Palm with a wireless modem would help either, and I don't have a cell phone, nor would I carry one in school.
So there's no choice but to figure out new ways of getting by keyloging and screen dumps, even in non-office enviroments.
I'm personally waiting for Hammer to come out, as well as serial ATA, and whatever the next DDR speed is going to be (400?) before I overhaul my 1.2ghz Tbird 640megs of SDRAM and 265gigs of IDE drives.
It can actually touch the skin, as it's a way to remove warts. They take a long Q-Tip and dip it in liquid nitrogen, and then press it on the wart. Usually dies down in a few weeks, but sometimes they do come back.
What about heat generation from the processor that feeds out of the case? My computer, albeit in between a desk and a tupperware desk type thing, puts out a LOT of heat, sometimes to the degree where it's about 10 degrees F hotter in this room than any other room in the house.
I did patch this problem, by moving it to a different case (bigger and made of steel, a UNEEC(sp?) rip off of the Antec full SoHo server style case.) and adding in more fans. Before I had a midtower plastic/aluminum(sp?). Now I have to deal with the noise though...
I assume XP does that too. Then why does my Thunderbird 1.2 still run at 120F with 3 case fans and 1 proc fan for the processor (1 case fan for hds), or did I answer my own question?
Yes, but I had a year vB lisence that I got from a friend, and I don't have the $160 or whatever to dump out for it. Yeah, I still have the zip, and access to an account, but I like to play fair sometimes.
Remember the Emperor's New Clothes? If you listen to everyone else, you're going to end up naked marching infront of people that had respect/fear for you.
I don't care if what I wear is not fashionable (which it actually is, considering there's a bunch of Hot Topics everywhere. Sure it's not as popular as the preppy style clothing, but there are people that wear it).
3: Where'd you get that from? I'm not doubting you, but the non-trolls probably are. The other thing is that's skewed quite a bit, considering only about 10-15% of the games are rated mature, if that.
Better yet, if you're a business-type, get those slacks and khakis with the two pockets below the normal ones.
If you're a casual guy/gal, get jeans with cargo pockets, or get raver/phat pants, with so many damn pockets I can have my wallet, keys, glasses, palm, and my cd player in different pockets and still have spares.
Like the original author said, if English people don't like certain aspects of the American way of life (slang is the first thing I can come up with this morning. See fries vs chips.)
I'm not up on NZ anything, not that I claim to be an expert at UK either.

Melt the polar icecaps?
What resolution, color depth and how big the texture size and other stuff? I've a GF3, and I pull about 13fps at 1024x768x32 with 64mb texture packs.
What about heat generation from the processor that feeds out of the case? My computer, albeit in between a desk and a tupperware desk type thing, puts out a LOT of heat, sometimes to the degree where it's about 10 degrees F hotter in this room than any other room in the house.

Maybe he has an LCD? :P
...but now can I make the joke about One burner to rule them all?
I know the difference. People that go to my boards and that have boards I go to aren't. I have non-geek friends.
Plus, I'd still have to get a usenet server, or how the fuck ever you get your own alt.what.the.fuck.ever.usenet.board
Yes, but I had a year vB lisence that I got from a friend, and I don't have the $160 or whatever to dump out for it. Yeah, I still have the zip, and access to an account, but I like to play fair sometimes.

Not sure about Bards Tale, never played it.
Hotels have internet connections now?

I really hate that fucking word. It should be pronounced sol-DER or spelled sotter.
