Having dated a gamer girl and now a "normal" girl, I have to say it both have it ups and downs.
The gamer girl did play more than me and often I would end up getting bored far faster then her with a game. And we newer really got anywhere, because she/we had to raid something lame in a game.. But it was cool that she would drag my ass out of game just to play.
Now dating a "normal" girl we do get out in "real life" much more. But sometimes I just miss that I can sit down and have a good evening of gaming with her.
I used too love the amiga. And still do too some degree. And still use some of the tools and games it had too offer.
If you want too try how the amiga was( or try again) I suggest you try the amiga emulator at: http://www.winuae.net/ [winuae.net] It pretty much emulate the amiga perfectly. If you don't have a old amiga it might be hard to find the ROM's needed too get it too run, but they are out there.
If you really want too see what the amiga was capable of try: http://aiab.emuunlim.com/ [emuunlim.com] (amiga in a box) which enhance the workbench in ways you newer thought was possible.
This forum is most likely the best place too find anything amiga legacy: http://eab.abime.net/ [abime.net]
Sms is nice because it don't disturb people around you and they don't even need to say anything into the phone. A quick glance is enogh, and when they have time they can reply, with a short text message, and they don't even have to say anthing. Just a few clicks, which hardly will disturb anyone.
If you use MSN, ICQ, YAHOO or Jabber, ect you will also love sms, if you can't log into does services while on your phone.
Yep. Jump to Lightspeed for Star Wars Galaxies is pretty much a remake of the originals for a mmorpg.
Its damn fun and very well made. And its fun to fly with other players. It has been expanded to fit a mmorpg better. Like you can customise your own ship, you have to buy your skills(well...You get them after doing quests like in single player games and minimal xp'en).
The catch is ofcourse that you have to have SWG and pay the 15$(18$ for EU!) each month to play.
But I have had fun playing it. And it is action based and not the normal mmorpg keyboard click your keyboard way. And you can use a joystick !;)
Its pretty much the same in the nordic contries which also push pretty hard for DAB. I know DR(Denmarks Radio) have 14 DAB channels alone and they have around 98% coverage in Denmark.
And if you don't know what DAB is, then here is explanation for you: What is DAB?
Here is a couple of resized pictures that I made that will fit nicely on the desktop.
They are all 1024x768. Some cutting and resize has been done to get them to fit.
They are hosted on platoon.dk, which cannot take more then a couple of hits..:) as11-40-5903.jpg Man walking on surface. ( 323 KB ) as11-40-5905.jpg US flag ( 254 KB ) as11-44-6547.jpg Earth Rising ( 118 KB ) as11-40-5863-69.jpg Landing POD ( 208 KB )
I guess It also helped that they(netscape) got bought by AOL. AOL has pumped alot of money into mozilla as far as I know. They payed the salary for many of the developers in the start. That most have helped alot to get mozilla to where its today.
And its larger then most of the USA States. Only Texas and Alaska is bigger.
However I know that its mostly the south part of sweden that is has connections like that, since the northen part has alot less people living there.
It wont be the year of linux before the comon home user and gamer can play their games without obscure winex hacking, install the apps they will without having to worry weather it will run on their desktop and worry about a zillion billion depentensies. Oh a nice clean easy uninstall system would help also.
The only way to get me away from windows, is if there came another OS with as good support for games as windows have. I use windows because I can play my games on it. If I just used programs I had lots of other alternatives. But I also plays games. Hence I stay on windows. And so does alot of other people. As long as MS got the sole monopoly on games on the PC OS's then they are gonna stay big and survive.

Today I sat down at my computer when I got a MSN message from a friend. That friend is complete noob with computers and now he had a problem.
This is pretty much what was said: Friend: Hey. I got a problem with my computer. It has shut itself two times today, without me doing something. What do you think is wrong? I heard something about a virus.
Me: Yeah there is a few major virus's flowing around the net right now. Have you patched your system?
Friend: Patched ? ?
Me: Yeah. You know downloaded updates for windows.
Friend: No..
Me: Oh well. Here is a link to a virus scanner try and run that first..... After awhile, me trying to explain him how to scan for viruses. Yeah! It found a virus named blaster and I THINK he got it removed...
Me: Good now to update your system..... I, after awhile, get him pointed to the windows update and the patch for blaster. Again I think he got it installed....
Me: So, Now I suggest you update your system with patches from windows update.
Friend: Why? What should I waste time download all that? What good does it do me ?
Me: Well... It secures your system, give you updates to windows programs and IE and new drivers. You know. Makes it upto date.
Friend: But how do I do it ?.... I try to explain him how to use windowsupdate but is almost giving up since he just dont get he just gotta press scan for updates and then install updates. Well in the end he gives up and says he dont care....
And there is the entire windows Security problem. Users that just come to their computer to surf abit and download a few programs like kazaa or emule just dont feel the need for updates. And they end up spreding the viruses to the entire net. Oh.. And it dont help that MS dont allow pirate versions of windows to be updated fully. I can see why it would in sense suck for them to give free updates to people that havent payed for the system. But people dont get updates when its all blocked. Which in end leads to viruses like this to run wild.
Slashdot should really really start getting a way to mirror sites that dont look like that can hold the presure and go down as fast as this.
Its annoying for us that read this site that half the sites you link to dont work.
Its a pain in the ass for the people that have the sites. Either because they have them at home at some small adsl connection or at a expensive host company that might uphold the/. effect, but then charge the poor person for all the traffic.
You should really make a client where you mirror it and when people click your link they download the site from slashdot and not the orignal source and then use p2p to share it with other.. A kind of mirror p2p browser. Maybe it could be done with mozilla somehow =)
I made a crappy translation. But it should be possible too understand what this is all about.

It is a upset managing director by Newsbooster , Anders Lautrup , there has received the ruling from Copenhagen's court. The judge Michael Kistrup that agrees with Danish Dagblades Forening (DDF) that a injunction agains newsboosters news letter with deep links. The ruling and its premises fills 38 pages.
- I am deeply choked. We lost at all points , however it is certain , that we will appeal to High court , he says.
At the courtmeeting monday the 24. june, Newsbooster themselves hit on that deep links is a integral part of the internet's nature and that the service just sents the readers to the others newspapers articles.
DDF on the otherhand says that Newsbooster steals the work of others. DDF lead two vidner , partly consultant from DDF Holger Rosendal , and president from Berlingske Official Lasse Bolander.
Last-mentioned tells about about a service that , Berlingske Tidende, Politiken and Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten is on their way with - A service that will allow others too scan from their newspapers.
Newsbooster lead only one witness in there argumentation , Anders Lautrup. That surprise several media , that newsboosters did no had call in others witness's like from others Netservices and webcatalogs like Jubii (Jubii.dk).
To that says Anders Lautrup:
- You have too be cautions with having a lot of Witness, however looking back at it now, maybe we should have called in a witness from a search service. He said from Copenhagen's newscourt.
Lawyer: Only first instans settlement Lawer from Bender.dk - concern with speciality in IT-Court - Per Meier is participant in a meeting with FDIH friday about the case. He repeatedly says that this is a first instant settlement.
He has not seen the premisses for the ruling and can therefore not say whether the ruling is surprising or not.
Hyperlinks is a part of the traditional structure on the internettet , so if the definite settlement too goes agains Newsbooster to, that will presumably get the consequence that several news services will have too reconstruct there shops. So it'll get major importance both legal and convenient , says Per Meier.
Pretty much the same for Denmark.
Widescreen pile up every, that does NTSC and PAL.
Just bought a Sony WEGA 32" myself. It rocks. And the price is not much more expensive then other brands on the market.

Having dated a gamer girl and now a "normal" girl, I have to say it both have it ups and downs.
The gamer girl did play more than me and often I would end up getting bored far faster then her with a game. And we newer really got anywhere, because she/we had to raid something lame in a game.. But it was cool that she would drag my ass out of game just to play.
Now dating a "normal" girl we do get out in "real life" much more. But sometimes I just miss that I can sit down and have a good evening of gaming with her.
There is a few games that was released before 2000.
Meridian 59 - Released in 1996
Everquest - Released in 1999
Asheron's Call - Released in 1999
This is according to:

If you want too try how the amiga was( or try again) I suggest you try the amiga emulator at:

It pretty much emulate the amiga perfectly.

The server is not terrible fast. Only a 2048/512 Kbit/s connection. Might be why you can't access them fully.

here is a rar file with them:

Or am I totally wrong on this?
He was saying that most of the US states was bigger then sweden. Which was a incorrect.
I woulden't call sweden small.. htm )
m )
It covers 158,662 sq. miles
(source = http://www.algonet.se/~hogman/swe_province-county
And California is 155,973 sq. miles
(source http://worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/usabysiz.ht
And its larger then most of the USA States. Only Texas and Alaska is bigger.
However I know that its mostly the south part of sweden that is has connections like that, since the northen part has alot less people living there.
Ahhhh! Please /. this as fast as possible so other people will be safed from viewing this and be scared for life!!!!
