  1. Re:Insane!! on Title Fight For Best All-Time Game Scheduled · · Score: 1

    I voted QuakeII because Action Quake II rocked my world.

    QIII was more of a demo for the engine; and things based on that engine were much better games, IMHO.

    2.2.17 is much older than the current 2.2 tree, which is at 2.2.25.

    That should be wide open for Mr. Freighttrain.....

    I love those, though they're not really hidden. It always seems faster to open a new tab and run the calculation......

    Did you get a 503 unavailable? I've seen that error on and off a few times in the last week.

    Twice it gave me a main page, but all the links were redirects back to the home page.

    I think the slashcode is weakening.....

  10. Re:What about corporations? on Massachusetts' Big Brother Tech to Watch Taxpayers · · Score: 1

    Ah, anyone who makes more than twice what I do is rich.

    And anyone who makes less than half what I do is poor.

    No matter what I make, I am always Middle Class. :D

  12. Re:What about corporations? on Massachusetts' Big Brother Tech to Watch Taxpayers · · Score: 1

    Depends on your definition of "rich."

    Most small business owners would be considered "rich" if they have employees. In fact, you could argue that anything over $100K a year is rich (as it is well into the top 20% of the taxpayers).

    Vive la rich! For soon I shall join them..... :D

    Heh. I guess it was because he picked a sucky name.

    Now if had been "AnthraXXX III V.6, Copyright(C)2001 R.P.China" it would obviously been known as "Sugar."

  17. Re:Dammit. on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1

    Here's a question I haven't been able to answer.

    In "pine" for all it's evil shortcomings, it allows you to manually enter a "from:" address for each email. This is usefull if you're using the "I own the whole bloody domain" spam prevention tactic.

    I'd like something like this for mozilla mail. As it is, the from line only allows me to select from available accounts.

    Does anyone know of a plugin that does this? If someone can make it work for me, there is $5 by paypal involved. (Hint, hint!)

    Other than that, I love mozmail! Wheee!

  18. Re:Dammit. on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1

    Ah, but everytime there is a namechange people talk about it.

    And in the streets and cubes, everyone still refers to it as Mozilla.

    Maybe it will go the way of Jennifer Lopez.

    Mozilla Firefox becomes F-Fo!

    Don't worry, we produce such a large amount of media that I'm sure SOME of it will survive 2000 years.

    I wouldn't be suprised to learn that they even find a harddrive 2000 years from now and are able to read data off it.

    Perhaps someone could make a company that would seal CDs in black acrylic and argon.

    That's also how you torque a bolt correctly.

    Perhaps one interesting side effect of this could be new viruses that vote! Instead of DDoS the litigious bastards, it could vote from your machine!
