I can just picture geeks driving around in red 70's Dodge Chargers shouting "Yaaahoooo" and "Yeehaaaaa" as we jump over ravines to bring data to the censored masses.
With stars-and-bars paint jobs, and the number "01" printed on the side? Them Duke boys don't just run their car on 'shine these days, now they got engine booster ROM kits too! And they're getting ready to change The General's number to "1334".
It lasts a bit longer if you go for all items and all names. That can take a few weeks if you have a regular job, and the last few items will drive you crazy trying to find them, even with the help of Google.
And then there's the ending credits "level", in which it is exremely difficult to pick up all countries. I went for all items and all names but only played the ending credits once, and that was only after I read that it was playable and wanted to see what it looked like. It gets really hard toward the end because the camera is so far away that you can't see what you're doing.
Color/brightness/contrast was pretty poor, nevermind that the editing was atrocious; the title sequence wasn't sorted. If that was the finished product, no thank you. This looked like a copy ripped off the editor's desk, not something ready for airing. Close, but no cigar.
Also, the de-interlace was wrong. During scene changes, especially between dark and light, you can see a momentary stutter from the dodgy de-interlace.
Hey, don't look at me... I downloaded it from usenet (alt.binaries.drwho) last week. It's probably still on Giganews for another week or two. And it's likely someone will repost it by then too.
Unless you're using AOL for Windows, in which case I think you can find a bit more documentation/utilities for that format elsewhere, but I've only ever used the Mac version, so I can't help you there.
This is why I'm using UW IMAP and not Cyrus. Cyrus saves mail in a database. While this is more efficient for accessing mail, having my folders be plain mbox files means I can be sure of simple backup and restore, and simple format conversions. I just make sure to move my old mail to folders every now and then so that my main mailbox is uncluttered and speedy.
But if I was running a mail server for more than just myself and my mom, you bet I'd be running Cyrus.
question is, convert scripts or no, does anyone have documentation covering the old mailboxes for AOL? damn them, they kept such things "secret". altho easily reverse engineered, people didn't post solutions that could get them sued.

Within the context of the World of Warcraft auction house and the/2 trade channel, I find myself learning the basic skills of supply and demand, negotiating a price on an item, marketing, etc. etc... I've actually never had this much practice negotiating prices in my whole life.
I'd rather go out to a flea market to do that. And walk home with a good deal on a rare game cartridge. But then I'm an oldskool game collector and we're cheap bastards.
This is good for people who run big-endian architectures like PPC. That way, endianness bugs get caught sooner rather than later. It also means PPC support in general will benefit, because if something breaks for Linus, you can expect it will get fixed (or dropped) pretty quickly.
But then when the rumor sites actually hits gold, Apple brings out the legal guns.
Remind me again how Apple is suing people with no NDA who are just randomly speculating and otherwise talking out their ass? The only people they are trying to sue are actual leakers. Only these particular web sites (who received obviously leaked info, as opposed to someone's random photoshopped hoax) aren't telling Apple who violated their NDA, so Apple is suing to get those names.
I have an MP3 CD player which, if you hit shuffle before it actually starts playing the first song, it will always pick the same combination of songs. My guess is that its random number generator was seeded by events that happened after a song started playing.
I know this was probably already taken care of, and I can't really see him having any problem with it, but nowhere (with a quick skim through TFL and this slashdot article) have I seen anyone say that pterry actually approved this. Or are they keeping it in the Luggage, because I'm not going near that thing.
The big problem I have with fighting them is that a "view source" only gives you the raw page source, not the triply-indirected javascript-edited version that's actually being used by the web browser. Trying to wget won't help because you'll probably just get a different ad.
Is there any way to use CSS to prevent a SCRIPT tag from getting executed on the basis of the SRC URL? "display: none" doesn't help when a script inserts its HTML somewhere else.
In the meantime, I'm trying to right-click to find where the various image parts are so I can add them to my list of IFRAME and SRC display-nones.
True story: after AT&T started advertising 1-800-OPERATOR, some obscure office in MCI started getting a lot of wrong number calls. When MCI realized they had 1-800-OPERATER, they quickly forwarded it to 1-800-COLLECT!
That's not all... someone back then had a record cutter and hooked it up to his primitive TV receiver. The world's first time-shift video recording happened back in the late 1920s! And it was on disc, not tape!
So when it does, I presume there's a period in which people could send mail (that's paper mail, people, with a stamp on the envelope!) to the USPTO commenting about how you as a member of the general public have something to say about it. Right?
I started blocking Flash about two years ago when an ad in a web page played the sound of a BIG TRUCK HONKING ITS HORN.
At first I just moved the extension out of its directory until I needed it, but then I found a flash blocker (google for "flash.xml") which is called up from my userContent.css file, and works in both Mozilla and Safari. I also have a bunch of "{display:none !important}" CSS checks in there which make many ads disappear completely from a page, with the only trace being a collapsed "Advertisement" box.
It changes the Flash embed into a big button with a red italic "f" that you have to click on to start the Flash running. This stops a LOT of ads. People may be complaining lately, but not me. I still only every now and then see a pop-under or a "layer" ad. Like one or two a month.
There are only a few minor negatives to it. One, it doesn't work with a file: link, so I have to put the flash.xml on a web server, two, sometimes a Flash won't start properly after being clicked on, and three, some sites don't load flash in the "correct" way (with the Mickeysoft classid or a codebase of swflash.cab) and will start the Flash anyhow.

You are not l33t. You don't use "Oh no!" in this context, you use "OH NOES!!1!1!!"

Looks like a repost went to alt.binaries.multimedia.scifi earlier this week. All you binaries leeches, go for it.
