people still support these mfer's by listening/buying music from artists on their labels. I've just stopped buying mainstream music and only support small labels.
just feel horrible for the guy. nothing ever seems to go right for him. beautiful soundtrack with the same violin theme from the first one and the credits music 'Late Goodbye' by poets of the fall. great games.. the first and the second probably two of the best ever made in my opinion. I remember the first two Quest for Glory games from Sierra having a profound impact on me as well. And the 'Conquests of Camelot' (also by Sierra) which is the first "real" pc rpg I ever played when I was a kid. great stuff:)
I think the most someone should have to do is clench their butt cheeks. You realize that clicking takes my hands off the home keys and this leads to possible typos. very inefficient.
you know that slurpees cuz they are frozen carbinated are pretty large for the amount of calories that they contain. if you contact the company they will send you pdfs containing nutritional information on them. I think they reason they don't just publish them is because the machines that create the slurpee vary in the thickness (the amount of base product) they dispence. so its possible to have two slurpees in the same size glass that are actually different in calories.
search plugins now get installed into your profile instead of the global application directories. looks like they are finally fixing all the little inconsistencies. good job guys!
went to 'latest headlines' and did an 'Open in Tabs'.. the browser menus were still usable while all 25 or so headlines loaded. thats pretty nice in itself.
when we all created our first personal websites 10+ years ago cuz it was new and interesting. I blog now just for the search engines. If I wanna bitch about something or praise it to hopefully save someone using google some research time. These people that blog every event in their lives will get bored with it sooner or later.
.. the logitech mouseman 3 button to be exact. Its got three large buttons on the top of the mouse (as wide or wider than your finger) and its kinda shaped like guitar pick. It was also re-marketed in grey and was the first logitech 'gaming' mouse. It doesn't have a scroll wheel and is ps/2 based. I bought a ps/2 to usb adapter which works great.
I use this for gaming because over the years came to map all FPS with:
fire = index finger forward = middle finger back = ring finger
i then use the arrows
up = jump down = crouch left = left strafe right = right strafe
the other keys surrounding the arrow keys depend on the type of game. For a military call of duty type game:
right ctrl = prone delete = iron sights right shift = bash enter = pickup 10 key #0 = next weapon 10 key #1 = prev weapon \ = reload
for games like ut that have secondary fire i go with:
delete = secondary fire insert = iron sights (assuming the weapon has sights)
and the others are something similar to the military lay out.
I know this layout sounds crazy but I can't play anyother way and love the ability to control directional movement entirely with my mouse hand. Maybe my brain is just wired differently.
The big problem is that i'm entirely useless with these new scroll mice when it comes to games. So I bought a wholesale pack of 5 of them a couple months ago because my original one was starting to get really warn out.
me.. i was the first kid in my town to buy one. My parents gave me half the money as an x-mas present and I came up with the rest. It killed me. Wanna know the craziest thing ever? I never bought one game for it. I played duck hunt and gyromite (not using the robot, one controller in each hand) and rented super mario bros about 50 times. hehe.
I sold the entire thing for $100 bucks just before the snes came out.
Some of the products thinkgeeks sells are less than quality. I have purchased/received more than one item from them that broke just outside the manufacturers warranty, however short that might be. Also, 99% of the time you can get the same items they sell cheaper somewhere else. Use them as a place to look for stuff and then find it somewhere else.
I stumbled upon this firewall www.pfsense.org I'm actually going to pay one of the developers to write some features for it in the near future as well. Its based on monowall but uses freebsd instead of openbsd. AFAIAC it is the most professional F/OSS fw distribution I've ever seen. It supports syncing in an ACTIVE/INACTIVE configuration so if one goes down the other picks up without losing the state tables. VERY neat.
I'm hoping to get them to create some basic round robin loadbalancing + health checks for my webservers. LVS was ported to freebsd and if it plays better with pf than it does with iptables that might be a better solution. God knows maybe it supports pfsync as well, that'd be neater than cat shit!:)
i honestly don't believe that memcached supports this either. atleast i couldn't get a straight answer from the developers about it a few months ago. it supports backup servers but it doesn't migrate keys between servers.
when you say share it using distributed ruby. I looked up DR and it doesn't say anything about wether multiple servers sync between one another like j2ee provides. Is there a better explaination of that somewhere?
stuff like contexts in java where you can have a session context and store objects in it? Also is there something that sync's sessions from one server to another to support load balanced environments?
those are really the only thing i like about java that I can't seem to find in other programming languages. Please don't say Apache::Session.. atleast not unless there is some kind of session sync capability available now. Storing session data in a database has just too much overhead.
I like the looks of ruby. I've been a perl developer for many years and really don't find the perl offerings to be enterprise quality. We've always resorted to reimplementing our own frameworks which obvious is very inefficient.
that make them continue to not get along. Thats how long VHS will be around. You can't just make a DVD and expect it to work on everyones DVD players. And thats just sad. There is no one to blame but the companies that produce the equipment.

these people try to figure out how to do things. its even more painful to realize that the linux desktop still has so far to go.
catalyst gave me more of a programming woody than rubyonrails did :)

these is to run pirated versions of OS X. ;)

I guess this will prove to her that her fancy book learnin don't mean squat.

one of them was a 'girl' .. you know a 'guy' with 2 lumps of fatty tissue on their chest and a 'v-a-g-i-n-a'.

i picked this model (got it free) cuz I'd read that development was pretty active on a linux port.
