NeoPlanet runs on top of IE, is skinnable, and when a pop-up is about to pop-up, gives you the option of allowing it or not. So, if you want the help box that a lot of sites use to pop-up, you click yes. If you don't want the CNN thing to pop-up, you click no.
Plus, matching your web browser skin to your winamp skin to your wall paper is sweet.

...the new expansion for Everquest, Shadows of Luclin, is out soon, and the servers will open tomorrow, December 4th. Though I still prefer playing a nice, text based mud over Everquest, many of my mudding buddies have been lost to EQ. True, for most of the rabid fans, you'd have to buy it as an early present, but still...
If you feel that way, fine. Yet do not scream or shout when and if you are fined/arrested/have your computer taken as 'evdience'... ...that is a part of civil disobedience, after all.
Well, if all we saw on/. was views the majority agreed with, I'm sure it would slowly became a rather bland place. Variety makes for interesting reading...or something like that.
On the other hand, first, I would like to see a/. review by someone who rather liked the movie. Second...umm...Katz, I'm just curious, what DO you feel a good movie is? I get the impression that you don't like ANY movie...
Goats.com (not that naughty site...) has been discussing mircopayments a bit recently. This is a good example of something that I would be willing to pay pennies per day to see, and it's interesting to see how current methods do or do not work.

What does "grass roots" have to do with the second Blair Witch? The sequal was more like a normal movie, with its T.V. teasers and such, rather than the first, with poster of missing children being passed out a college campuses...
Right now I am actually on a MUD. My char is female, I (In real life) am male. I highly doubt the relation my char is forming counts as cheating. Here's why:
*I am not female
-(Self explaining...)
*The char reacts differently than I do
-(The char gave little thought to the relationship, I usually weigh each pro and con, and choose the best answer)
*The reasons for relationship are different
-(Don't want to get into detail, but I want a relationship for totally different reasons than the char does)
Well, I guess I didn't need a bulleted list for this, but that's all I can think of right now...

Using an alias is a great way to get around this. By giving your alias out rather than a specific address, if one e-mail account is shut down/spammed/broken into/ect, you just change the forwarding address on your alias, and those e-mailing you at the alias never know the difference.
I know for sure that if you are an IEEE member they give you an alias...
This (helped) cause the demise of Looking Glass Entertainment Maker of such incredible games as Thief 1 and 2, and System Shock 2.
True that this game both sucked and (as you said) HELPED killed Looking Glass Studios, but to be honest, and to give a crappy game a chance, LGS may have gone out of business anyways. This has a lot more info on the demise of LGS, with their quick answer as
Looking Glass died because a series of problems compounded each other into a financially lethal situation. No single factor is to blame. No single person or entity killed Looking Glass. No one problem was enough, on its own, to kill the company. Nonetheless, the problems were deadly when combined. .
I'm wondering, I mean, exploring space and all is really cool, but:
Do we have the right to do this? To purposfully alter the entire landscape of a foreign planet? True, we could get rid of pollution here and use it for a purpose there. True, we could see what different types of mold grows there (Hey, a new breed of penicillan that won't become resisted against until 50 more years of doctor abuse is up), but by what right to we have to mess with a perfectly normal system?
Maybe the submitter/poster thought this would be interesting to the/. community. They can't always be right, but adding a unique story here and there is nice.
This guy had to have a lot of tech working for him, ie His modified skis, clothing that would keep him warm but still allow him to ski comfortably, cameras that would work in that weather. (I'm on a 14.4, so I'm not gonna even try to see the video...) I
Why? Because, as shown by the recent trends in patents, everyone seems to think the implementation is fine. Yes, the problem is probally in implementation, but that's (probally) not gonna stop patents on linking or downloading or whatever.
Think of it this way, the patent system is like a huge software system. Instead of isolating a bug and fixing it, you simply release a patch, which causes new bugs, which needs more patches, ect, ect. The system barly stands a chance of changing, so why not try the next best way, of which this may seem
Plus, I kinda like the idea of saying something's been done to a company, it's the only way they'll listen to me. (Yea yea yea, buying/not buying their product...)
Since the high court threw out this decision, saying reverse engineering is covered by fair use, does this give any value to those playing with their:CueCats? I know some people have gotten flak from DC for reverse engineering, I'm just curious
I think this post shows pretty conclusively why we hate North Americans.
Why??? Because we've lived for 200+ years thinking we had freedoms to protest, to speak out against what we think is wrong and such? Which now are begining to fade slowly into the night like some cheezy western? Oh, wait, I've see you really meant jealous instead of hate, my bad.
Using my hated North American thought process, Jose should be allowed to protest however he wants, IF he is willing to accept any consequences, possitive or negative, that arrive due to his protest. In theory, that's how it is supposed to work here in the States, though that also is fading.
