Well the whole system of paying for shows, and being credited for watching the commercials will require a slightly more interactive system than what we have today.
Perhaps to get credit for the commercial, you'd have to answer a question about it. I wouldn't care anyway, I'd just pay for the shows that I want to see and forget about the commercials at all.
So we do donate our $800,000 to see the rubber suits and the Muppets. This is just for 1 episode, right? So if we want to see what happens next, we get to pay another $800,000?
Exactly, this is great. Software isn't illegal, perhaps you can use it in commiting a crime, like all the examples we've heard a million times (cars, butter knives, hemp rope, a little marmalade, you know). Now if watching a DVD that you bought is a crime, is another issue.
Didn't Tin Tin end with aliens already? I only saw the cartoon dubbed in English. Nick would show them in the very early morning when I was in college. I loved the show, but it was hard for me to catch them. One day I was wandering through a comic store and found 2 issues. I bought them both hoping to find more later, but alas I never did (I don't visit comic store much).
I liked the "advanced" CYOA books, I believe the series I had was Escape from Tenopa or something to that effect. But my favorite game book series of all time was Lone Wolf. That series is now online as the copyright has returned to the author, and he has allowed them to be published on the web. They are still trying to secure the rights to some of the artwork though. The site is Project Aon. They still need some help proof reading some of the books before they are placed online.
Most tape backup programs have a verify setting too, but that takes so long.
I found it even quicker to replace/dev/st0 with/dev/null. I think GNU tar actually has code that detects when it is writing to that device to make things so even faster.
Actually the limited color ability is what the Color Game Boy does exactly with orginal Game Boy and Super Game Boy enhanced games.
I know of no adaptor to play the Game Gear games on the Genesis/Mega Drive. There was the Master Gear (a 3rd party product) that let you play Master System games on the Game Gear, and the Power Base Converter that let you play the Master System games on the Genesis. But I don't know of the converter that you are talking about. Any links?
TurboGrafx, and it couldn't play the CD-ROM games. Which the console also first brought to market. By the way, most people have fogotten that system was by NEC, you know the people brought us the Earth Simulator.
Sega also made a system called the Nomad that played Genesis games but was hand held. It came about pretty late in the life of the Genesis (it has 6 buttons on the controller) and was orginally a Toy-R-Us exclusive.

Yes, I'm glad someone else noticed this.
I got the Professional Apache 2.0 book reviewed on/. also published by Wrox.
I've read about 1/4 of the book. So far half of that has been on Apache 1.3. I can understand documenting differences between 1.3 and 2.0 in a 2.0 book. But don't go into depth on building and configuring 1.3. There are also numerous typos that are so obvious.
It seems that this book was started as a 1.3 book, but 2.0 shipped so they tacked extra onto it and called it 2.0. Also to get to press first they only did a once over on the new information.
It is so annoying to get an e-mail without a subject. My spam filters actually bump you a little bit closer to being considered spam if there is no subject. I consider it to be a required header.
For one I sort my mail by thread, while Mozilla will use reference headers to thread messages, the fall back is the subject. Without a subject your message would be tossed in the thread with the other loosers who also forgot their subject.
The easy way to keep that dialog box from popping up when you send a mail is to...put a subject on the message.
If you want a spell checker go to the Netscape FTP server find the XPI file for the spell checker and install it.
I just got my ATI Radeon 7500 working in X. Here are some things I found.
First my biggest problem was the card will only see monitors that are connected when last reset. I spent 2 days trying to get the card to see a monitor I connected after Linux had booted. It was just dumb luck that we had an extended power outage that drained my UPS. When I powered back up, I still had the monitor turned on, and it got initiliaed by the card.
Second the DVI port is the primary display, if you have both connected. I guess that makes sense, but I had them backwards in my head cause I have 2 VGA CRTs, and had to use an adaptor on the DVI port to hook up my (second) monitor.
I like to configure my XFree86 by just typing `X -configure`. That doesn't detect the second monitor (and due to a bug I'll get to in a second configures the primary monitor incorrectly). The configuration file created by X was a good starting point, but I would have to manually add the settings for the second monitor.
What was odd, is X was being displayed on my primary monitor, but the settings in the file were from my secondary. Looking at the log file created, it seems that the Radeon was reading the DCC information from the second monitor (and after I got both displays initilizing both monitors were being seen with the same DCC info even though they are very different displays).
What I ended up doing was searching the Internet for some sample XF86Config files that had Xinerama enabled. I found a few some even for the Radeon 7500. To get the correct monitor info. I just plugged one monitor into the real VGA port, started X and looked in the log for the timings. I then hard coded the values for my primay display to override the falsely detected DCC infomation (X gives you big warnings when you manual specify timings higher than the monitor reports, which normally would be a good thing, but in this case I was right, so I'll have to live with the warnings).
After I plugged in the right values, and added the approate lines to my "-configure" generated file I had X running on two different sized displays with my desktop being stretched across them.
Also note that DRI is disabled in X on the ATI Radeon 7500 when using Xinerama, which means no hardware accelorated OpenGL (just like in Windows on this card).
As for my window manager Enlightenment 0.16.5 it is somewhat Xinerama aware. There are a few little bugs. First it likes to put things were I don't have a desktop due to me running two different resolutions on the displays. That probally won't effect most people. The biggest pain is it doesn't maximize windows correctly when they are on the second head. I don't maximize much, so I have just learned to expand the windows to size by hand.
The virtual desktops and multiple desktops of Enlightenment work just as before, they are just twice as large now. I'm sure I could have as many as I wanted, only limited by memory. The pager display shows everything correctly, include the black hole where there is no desktop.
Applications tend to pop up menus half on one screen, half on the other, Enlightenment also suffers from this, but not as much as I usually am clicking in the middle of the screen, but around the shared edge things get annonying.
All in all I can live with it. I don't play games so OpenGL isn't a big deal. I have my webbrower and mail on one screen and an Eterm or two on my other where I'm doing work. What ever I'm focused on most I'll put on the main display. If I'm just compiling something big I it is nice to put it over on the second head so I can keep an eye on it, but focus on/. until the build is finished.
Earth 2 was amazing, Sci-Fi also showed it sindicated. VR5 also wasn't bad, I would have liked to see where it was going. But it started on USA (Sci-Fi's mother station), so it stood no chance. Oh, The Burning Zone was great too, not sure where it started life, but sindicated on Sci-Fi.
But it seems that Sci-Fi picks up shows just to kill them. Sliders and MST3K come to mind.

Then you play the little exhange game. Your data for my data. You want your shady finacial records, I want my porn. Or is it the other way around?

Alien requires that you have all the RPM junk installed too. So it still requires a lot of extra work just to get a .tar.gz file.

That's why you hook yourself up to the goat milker first. (And you thought it was just to get 100s of hickies.)
Turbolinux is a Japanese distro. I would hope they had proper support for their native language.
