Start biking after work every other day or so, even visit the gym twice a week. It is amazing how much better you end up feeling the whole week (and how much easier it is to fall asleep). If you still have issues, then buy a bottle of melatonin. You can find it in practically any grocery store by the vitamins or just go to wal-mart. Get a bottle that has lower doses per tablet. This way you can take 4 around 9pm and you'll be out by 11pm at the latest. Or if you're still wide awake around 1am and need to get to sleep, then pop 1 to knock yourself out and not be extra tired in the morning. I've been taking melatonin off and on since college and it works very well. And it's all natural and non-addictive, blah, blah, blah...
I installed SP2 RC2 on my machine at work to test it with our latest application we're building. While I only had issues configuring my firewall to allow port 80 traffic, it did kill my Outlook. We are required to use Outlook so I don't have any choice on swapping over to Firebird or any other alternative, but anyway...now I only have a 10 minute check for email from our Exchange server. If I want to check for urgent emails I otherwise need to shutdown and restart Outlook over and over. It gets very not fun after 3 hours. I suppose I could remove SP2 for now, but who knows what kind of effect that would have on my workstation.
Somebody else mentioned Cloud from FFVII, but didn't mention the "gym" place that you could go into where all these big huge guys would have what appeared to be one hell of an all male orgy. I don't remember specifics, but it was funnier than hell. Also I seem to remember some old guy in one of the towns in Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest who sounded a little fruity when asking you to come back to his place.
Sweet computer. The 486 SuX. Same thing that I had when I was back in early high school.
Loved playing cooperative Doom over dial-up, getting pissed at windows 3.1 and just running DOS instead (best thing for a kid to learn about computers is running a command prompt). I was always perplexed by the 'turbo' button next to the power button on my machine, though. I swear it was just a led that lit up and that was it. It's not like it would super-charge the fucker in any visible manner.
I loved that machine and wish I still had it for playing all the classics in their true habitat.
I loved playing 7th Guest until I got to the Microscope puzzle that was kinda like Othello. I could never beat that stupid fucking puzzle so I would only play the game up until that point and quit or else I would have died from a brain hemorrhage years ago.
on normal difficulty. So I get no bug. I don't know about the guy earlier bitching about how his little GeForce5200 can't kick out the frames, but my new ATI 9800 Pro sure makes it look damn pretty! I never played the first two Thief games, but this one kicks ass. And looks awesome when hooked up to a bigscreen HDTV.
When we used to split the N64's signal between 2 TVs and then cover half the screen with a piece of cardboard so we could play 2 vs. 2 without cheating.
You use the keyboard!? That would be the most awful way to play Tempest. I use the mouse. You just move the mouse left or right to spin. Still not close to the good old Tempest spin knob, but better than using a keyboard. Speaking of Tempest, Tempest 2000 was my favorite game for the Atari Jaguar. Still pull that out every once and a while. Great soundtrack, too.
Just as an aside to those who don't have a Gmail account, your email address has to be at least 6 characters long. That totally screwed me out of getting abe@gmail.com, which is all I wanted out of life. Just an easy frickin' email address to remember.
For example, I'll never buy a Ford, but if I were to win one in a raffle or something I would take it. Is the raffle costing Ford money? No because I wasn't going to buy one of their cars anyway.
I take it you are trying to make an analogy. You failed miserably.
You bring up something that got some wheels turning in my head. Ala carte internet access. Some point in the future you can choose certain internet access "packages" or choose which major sites you would like to have access to for a flat monthly fee. Say you wanted the news package. You'd pay 9.95 a month for access to 50 or so major news websites. Or you could just go through a catalog of websites and choose which ones you want for like 50 cents each a month. Part of the payment would go to the website, most to the ISPs. Kind of like ordering a subscription.
Just thinking out loud. I like my internet access just the way it is (but could be much faster).

so you all better brush up on your Portuguese.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw this right away. I figure IBM's attorneys can use this as evidence of SCO's incompetence.
"Your honor, those idiots don't know their ass from a title attribute."
Dammit! I want a RSS feed of my Gmail inbox. It can't be that hard to have a password protected feed of my inbox.
Ok everybody, let's get together and buy Steve an iPod to cheer him up a little.

I love how the words Opt In are in quotes on this auction. You can almost hear the seller chuckling as he wrote it.
I like your sig.

Sorry, you've lost all credibility right there.

Only on Slashdot does a post like this get modded +1, Interesting.
you're an idiot.
Hell, yeah!
I just downloaded the newest Catalyst drivers for my Radeon 7000. That baby plays Quake II like a knife going through warm butter now!

I'm thinking it's about time for another wave of pissed off emails to Lucasarts' PR department.

He seemed to dodge the question about Sam & Max 2 in the interview, but I bet he's damn well pissed that Lucasarts cancelled it, too.
Put the game back on schedule, damn it!
but I can justify
That should be "but I can't justify"
and it looks like the post right before me had the same question, too.
