Ok, less than 12, I get the idea. Thanks guys. I was like 8 at the time, and it was my first experience with computer gaming. But I am quite sure that KQ5 was 20+ disks.
This is great and everything, but I would kind of prefer that NEW games be ported. I've already become completely sick of HMM3. How about some Everquest? Maybe Total Annihilation (not exactly new, but worthwhile). That being said, I can imagine how difficult it must be for Loki to convince game companies that this is a good idea. I wonder if the Cavedog staff reads/..
Remember the last days of the "Software on Floppies" age? I still get warm fuzzies when I think of that stack of 21 disks which held King's Quest V. I think Wolfenstein 3d was 12. We're starting to reach that point with cds...
So, if I extoll the virtues of my favorite candidate while wearing an expensive suit, am I required to file?
What if I decide I want to paint a large sign on the side of my house, to draw votes? It's the same thing. The house is being used for other purposes, but it's also an advertisement.
You might say that the only expenditure was the price of the paint, so that was my only contribution, but by that logic, the only expenditures made by this man were the cost of internet access, a tiny portion of hard drive space, etc. Hardly enough to put him over the $1000 limit.
I know this is grossly off topic, but I'm in rant mode... We geeks sure are a whinny group. Not all of us, of course. I'm just tired of people complaining about the EXACT same crap in 1/4 of the articles on/.
"The media is portraying us as something we're not." The media does that to everyone. At least everyone they cover, which discludes 90 percent of occupations. Techies get almost as much coverage as polititions. We should be proud.
"Non-tech people always use hacker instead of cracker. It makes me feel like crying" Once again, no one cares. The battle is lost, and it was a stupid, pointless battle in the first place. We don't have a copyright on the term, and it happens to be a slang term. In other words, it's meaning is decided by those who use it. And fifty million people are convinced that a "hacker" is someone who breaks into their computer, and causes icq to shit purple rainbows, or whatever the current myth is. Give up, go write some code. If you don't know how to write code, go learn. Stop complaining.
How is this going to work? Is the mail scanned into some sort of pdf or bitmap type format, then sent to your e-mail? That's the only thing I can think of, and it's wrong for so many reasons I'm not sure where to start... Maybe it will only work for messages sent online, which makes it no different from e-mail, or a hundred other services and protocols.
This is all well and good, but we'll have alot better chance of getting the day off if it's some obscure religious holiday. I proclaim October 6th Hoomaliyali, an ancient Burmese day of fasting.

I talked to a girl once. She smelled funny. She said "Would you like fries with that?". Mmmm... Fries....

Does this mean Microsoft Publisher can finally increase the size of it's extremely useful 38 gig clipart gallery? :)
