Download RASSPY and install it on any Winbox, then follow the instructions and connect to your Free ISP, a pop-up will appear with your:
login
password
dial-out number
Then just create a DUN (or use it on your Linux laptop like I did) and you'll never have to use their software again or worry about them doing fsked up sh*t on you box besides monitoring your usage.
Take a look at the picture. There's a Keyboard, there's a Display, but not much else. Unless this is some fancy terminal I can't help but have my doubts.
Winamp is nice but far from perfect, currently it is using 3.6megs or resources on my PC....not quite as bad as ICQ (can SOMEBODY explain why it's hogging 5.8megs of my resources!!!!!) but could be improved on.
...bus systems had the clear advantage of running on existing roads--and they paid no market penalty for the greater noise and pollution they generated.
Fortunately larger cities are starting to realize that there is a penalty of greater noise and pollution. The city of Montréal recently decided to reintroduce streetcars up and down some of its commercial avenues that have become overcrowded due to excessive automobile and bus traffic.
Hopefuly other cities will start to do the same real soon.
Too bad there's a 24 hour waiting period before the pictures you request become available.
I suppose it would still be possible to detect patterns if you observed the same location at various points in the day, but at this point the costs would be so prohibitive that you'd be better off sticking a video camera in a tree and having a feed to your video cell phone.
When you say similar what exactly are you comparing? Physical appearance? Certain characteristics? (if so which ones?) or is it sequential data (i.e. DNA or something along those lines) within these genes.
I am not a biologist and the realities of this concept eludes me.
...just come to terms with the fact that at the moment the internet is like a giant tax loophole.
Soon (and sadly) enough the net will be regulated enough (assigned IPs or the like) that it might not be so easy to access emulators, abandonware etc. In the mean time, let's raise our glass and toast a drink to the fact that we can (and do) get away with the plundering of the world's data in a relatively open manner and have yet to land in the opressed world of secret hand shakes and furtive glances.
Of course if we can make the changes necessary in law and ideology so that our actions become acceptable and legal, then all the better for us. But I've got the sneaky suspicion that 20 years down the road these days will be fondly rembered as our glory days. A golden era of free data and free knowledge and when geeks ruled the world. (okay, sounding too much like Katz, better shut up)
Ahem! People once hoped Napster was untouchable. Any person who thought they were untouchable probably thinks that if they remove the numbers from their house the cops won't be able to find them.
If the odds are 1 in 250 of it hitting someone, and there are 5,000,000,000 people on earth wouldn't that mean 20,000,000 people can expect to get nailed in the noodle by an Iriduim bits?
...big ping-pong balls would work best. (and yes I am aware that something along those lines already exists)
A slight digression here, but has anyone ever imagined a network where ping-pong balls were used to comunicate data. If you could get it to run on solar wind (sorta like that fancy blowdryer trick) I bet you could make a near perpetual mechanical space computer. And ping-pong balls would be so easy to ship into space!
Good god, 3h46am and not even bothering to log on as an AC.

Yeah, it was one of the first Lucas games (along long with another game where you drove on the surface of an alien planet). I used to play BallBlaster for days on end at my friend's place...I was always jealous of him because he had an Atari ST while I only had a wimpy (but still good to me) C64.
Lucky bastard...I also remember playing Falcon (could it have been 1.0) on that ST.
...LucasFilm games, such as Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders, Maniac Mansion, Indy & the Fate of Atlantis, etc... (I must admit to not having tried out the most recent Monkey Island or even Grim Fandango)
Seems to me that having key verbs at the bottom of the screen made for a very intuitive interface. Those games didn't need a 3-D world and were tons of fun.
...it seems to me that in this day and age it would not be difficult to port most of those classics with Flash. (kinda like they did with Joust, Spyhunter, etc...)
Anybody willing to do this or know of an existing equivilant?
It's a great IBM app very similar to PC Anywhere that allows you simulate a host desktop through any java enabled browser.
When I get to work I simply open up a browser window and connect to my computer at home, then I can ICQ to my heart's desire while downloading songs from Napster and working on my web pages from home. How easy is it for my employers to see the data I transmit if it is going through a java applet?

Get real!

Beta rules.
Personaly I'd rather give up a few bytes instead of using a M$ product, but I guess we can't diss all of their stuff.

Wow, gotta love the year 2000 :-)

Who can we contact/complain to about this. Words cannot describe my outrage.

...it isn't the size of an ATX mobo and generates more heat than the surface of the sun.
Ooops!
Look's like I'm the one doing the bad math. Should be 1 in 250 * 6,000,000,000

Well said. Point taken.

Boston has an excellent computer museum.
It even has one of those trippy one legged robot that hopes around like it's in an ass-kicking competition.
And what about "non-standard" apps such as Flash and Shockwave?
These are becomming more and more standard every day.
Do you think it is because of their "bullyish tactics" or because of their innovation?
I won't say standards get in the way of the cool stuff, but they can get you stuck in a rut sometimes.
...then you can't be saying where it should and where it shouldn't be distributed.
;-)
At least at Walmart you know you'll get it for free for less than any other major retailer

Anyone else doing this?
