I Did use their privacy service, It's called Domians By Proxy. You still have full control of it but it shows up with them as the contact info. They will forward messages to you and such including postal mail, but from there they do not respond to anyting for you, thats up to you, but for that just grab a hotmail account or something.
The Ceiling (Or floor to the party (Company sucess celebration) going on upstairs) of the server room fell in at my friends place of work, impaling their file server with a peice of rebarb(sp?) through the motherboard and a raid/ide controller card. All was well till the hole caught on fire due to what was later found to be a damages coffe cup heater that a stack of books had fallen onto. No one was seriously injured by the event other then the group of people who designed the building.
Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but seeing that it seems that alot of people responding to this story know about board design and such, about how many layers does a normal PC (like an Athlon/P3 if that matters) motherboard have in it?
What about everyone else? The people who have theirown WAPs setup? If the police WAPs cause interferance with them, are they going to be forced by the police to remove them?
Well, it IS better then Voyager:| The doctor on this ship ackowlages the existance of the Nelix Syndrome and has stated that he doesnt want his character to fall victim to it. And are they gonna change the god damned theme song yet?
Yea, the only way I would follow that and drop the idea of the startup me and my friends are thinking of doing is if Bill Gates called me on his Cell Phone during an live TV Broadcast and asked me and one of my friends to come to the campus and look around.... Other then that, no game.
This is a 64-bit version of the HLDS, right? CS is just a mod for HL, so these servers will also be able to run good mods like The Specialists and TFC, right?
I am currently offering my 1991 Ford Tarus for sale. It is White, gray, and brown. It has 71,000+ miles on it. It has a cloth interior that is red and black and brown. The car is capable of doing 0-60 in 30 second I approximate, being that I can't get it to go over 40 except when going down a hill. All electronics inside of this car are in top condition. All lights work. It has a 3.0 Liter V6, non-flex fuel. The glove compartment and trunk are Inaccesable due to the key for them is missing. Inside you might find wonderful things such as a graphing Calculator, $20, a 15" Macintosh Monitor, a small assortment of Nintendo games, the shards of 10 Arbies Christmas Glasses scattered throughout the trunk (I know they are there, I can hear them), and a copy of the Run Lola Run DVD.
I am currently asking for $200, which should cover the cost of all the stuff in the glove box and the trunk.
Stuff like this will put alot more nails in alot more coffins then 2 satilite radio companies. When people are driving, they need to be DRIVING, With their eyes on the road, not watching the damned TV. And people will, and people will die because of it. The thing with Cellphones is that they only take your mind and an ear to use, but do not require you to stop watching the road less your dialing and don't know where the hell the numbers on the keypad are. What is going to happen here is the same damned thing that happenes at home. Some people will be watching the TV, and something really interesting will come on, and you will be not watching it and doing something else, and everyone will start laughing or something and you Look Over. The only difference is here, your in control of something moving very fast. That's not the problem though, if the fucking idiot who had a TV put in that they could see dies and so does their family, that's not a problem, there are too many people out there anyways. The problem is when he does this surrounded by other people and OTHER people suffer from that fuckers mistake.
Half-Life is better (Its my goc at least), but the requirements are a good deal higher to get it moving nice.
Also, for mod, I'd suggest something more along the lines of Team Fortress or Natural Selection then CS, I'm sure the guys boss wouln't be ammused to be called stuff like "ch347>0r 114m4 b17ch" when he gets back.
Also Also, what valve licenced was the Quake Engine, which was then used to make HL, not Q2.
Just to make sure we are talking about the same quake, what I was thinking was along the lines of QuakeWorld, being it would be played over the lan, and not normal dos quake, where I would see there could be some problems with NT/2k/XP. If not, I along with CoWorkers would run quake over the win2k based network without a hitch.
Quake I -Small [we all run it off of mini cds] -Can run on anything from a p75 up -There are things to make it nicer [GLQuake} -Simple -Tons of mods avalible [TF]
Games and mIRC I use mIRC for so much it's not funny. It's almost like the backbone of everything I do. If there would be a linux port of mIRC that had full script support and could use the various DLLs (Recompiled with Kylix) I would have no problem there. Then there are the games. Wine just doens't cut it with them all. Also, you can't just have game support, you need a working server browser. I use ASE, so that also needs to work with WINE.

One 72 Hour, ballz out, five man, If we pull this off we are gonna be rich as fuck, forget this Vacation in the Sun shit coding spree, and subsequent 36 phisical crash and burn Priceless
There are some things Money can't buy, Like 6 days of your life back that you wasted in some mexican hotel, in which none of you or your friends used the lovely "companion services" that surounded it, doing what was almost could be concidered a get rich quick scheme that in the end was just another sad bomb out like we have seen so many of before in the tech industry
Yea, I did something very similar to this (And some wireless internet and GPS and and Yea, there was a poor shmuck with a cellphone involved at the other end) except with teh JAIM (I was on an evil java kick).
I've had nothing but trouble with the PhoneLine networking. It would go in and out sporadically without any good reason. I can say though that it is about the only thing you can fix by Singing.... Just picked up a phone on the line they were on and started to sing abit and BAM, the conection was present again. It would of course go out again in like 10 minutes, so we just replaced all the phone wiring in the house with Cat5 using the 2 free pairs. And what is with this house that you can't use Wireless? are all the walls lined with metal or something? And on the note of PhoneLine, how good is the phone wiring in the house? PowerLine, Linksys says it's shit can do 12-14mbps, but I've never really heard of anyone using powerline networking for anything other then Home Automation. Also if you are using DSL I think (NOT SURE) that you can just forget phoneline, they I belive will interfere.
At a certain College located in McKeesport, PA that I attend, I just a few weeks ago, for the first time Ever, decided to go into and look at the "New" lab. One of the first thing I noticed upon entering was a big old black banner in the back, "Where do you want to go today?".......
The network is exclusivly Windows, nothing else, anywhere. But the courses themselves are not MS specific except one that will reqire me to show the ability to make a web page, and we are only allowed to use FrontPage, but then again, the same class forces us to use Eudora for our college email account. My CS Course for this semester requires us to use not VC++, but Borland Turbo C++ for windows 4.5 (I think).
And then there was the software contract. Up untill about the end of August, you could get any piece of MS software free, and now, it's not free anymore, but we still fly their banner in the most high tech newest lab in the place....
What about the screens? I know that some of these newer phones have half-decent low res LCD screens on them, I'm sure someone can find a use for the fuckers. And now I see these newer phones in commercials and such with Color Displays? I'm sure those can be salvaged and reused. Batteries can be Recycled.
A friend of my family owns a car with one of these services in it. One time we were eating dinner at a very nice chinnese resturant in a not so nice part of town and the persons car got stolen. We used a phone and reported it to the police. We then called On* and informed them of the theft. We gave the phone to the police officer who arrived, who then called in the location of the car. The cops we talked to later told us the thief and his girlfriend were scared shitless when the 2 cop cars out of no where came and blocked him off. The Front drivers seat had to be Reupholstered after that. The car was also out of the possesion of the theif withing one halfhour after being reported. My friend definatly got his moneys worth for the Fee he has to pay for the onstar service.

This was an architectural firm.

Shouldn't this be under "It's funny, Laugh"?

I Just hope my bro isn't involved in this in any way, he is a tanker.

We shouldn't change the weather untill we know what will be the total results of doing so.
