I-4 is only part of Orlando's issues. Driving SR436 any time of day is dangerous. Also alot of the divided highways not having guard rails in the median is a silly thing too here in FL.
Combine the 1960's planned roads with the influx of people from around the world to this area, it's not going to get better anytime soon.
Makes me miss the back country roads/paved horse and buggy trails in central Mass, along with the drivers on the Boston area interstates (where EVERYONE drives fast).
I got a Radeon 9000 and it works without any problems even though its unsupported. Sure I cant turn the graphics up beyond low, but it looks decent enough and the frame rates are fine.
I dont need a pretty game, just a fun one. With another patch or two, this game will rock. The rare servers you find when people are working together is a great experience. Too bad you cant bookmark servers (yet)
...how much _profit_ does a popular show like this generate for a network? (not counting syndication or merchandising - just first run shows and repeats on the network) Tens of millions? Hundreds of millions? Or is it one of those "lets take a loss on this show, and make more moola off a less popular show"
Someone here mentioned that if all the actors were paid what they are asking for, its to the tune of ~$48 mil. Is that enough to hurt Fox or are they just tightwads?
Actually, it is listed at the website (seems to be 'over bandwidth limit' at the moment).
For some reason it is listed under the "North Florida" section. There isn't much more information about the airstrip on the website though than you mentioned.
As a side note, if I recall correctly, arent some of the NDB's or Beacons or whatever they are called in the Orlando area named after Disney characters?
Actually in Epcot (Florida) theyve thankfully got rid of Captain EO and replaced it with a much better "Honey I Shrunk The Audience" 3d flick with all the cast members from the movies, as well as Eric Idle. Well worth seeing.
And who can forget the best 3d show in the world? The 3d Muppet movie at MGM is hilarious.
Also Disney is working on a new 3d attraction for the Magic Kingdom, opening next year I think.
At least the Imagineers have kept 3d alive.
Oh, and if your'e in Florida, check out the Terminator 3d movie at Universal.:)
Dont think it will be GPLed...Austin keeps a pretty tight rein on the development.
The game is open to addons and creation of new
scenery and aircraft which can be found all over the place. www.flightsim.com is a good place to start. Dont know about the Linux version, but the Mac/Win versions are very open, even having a real time 'dump' option of paramaters in the game to feed into whatever addon programs people make.
The game also includes some pretty neat features, such as setting up a network of computers, having one be the cockpit and another
being an outside view, or one computer computing the scenery and the other taking care of the rest.
Austin has awesome support, for at least the Mac/Win versions to date, even answering support emails himself.
He is also very open to users ideas and bug tracking. Alot of what is in the game was suggested by others. Another great thing is he also is constantly developing the game, patches appear very frequently.

The first thing that tipped me off that this show would be a horrible mess is the time of year its on.
11 days before Christmas.
All one big commercial in my eyes. I'm in my 30's and was insulted just at the commercials hyping the show.
Heard this on opie and anthony. XM Satellite radio rocks!
Audio only webpage, may offend co-workers. Doesnt seem to work in firefox, works ok in IE (sorry non-IE users)

One of those "you'll be singing it all day" songs.

foodtv.com is a great site for recipes. Me and my wife have found quite a few good meals just clicking on the random recipe link.
A couple neat things about their recipes:
Alot of them are right from the shows, so if you see a show where they're flying through the cooking, you can get everything on the website.
Also other recipes are there from the "foodtv kitchen staff" so there is a lot more on the site than they show on tv.
epicurious.com is also another great site. Found a great chili recipe there. (cut the amount of beef in half though).
Info on this here.
Great Iron Chef site btw.
Did you draw a ring around the cap with a magic marker?
Heh, sounds like something you'd see in a Gary Larson "Far Side" cartoon.

I've quoted this before, still think its one of the funnyest exchanges in Simpsons history:
Lenny: Hey Homer, that's four strikes in a row. You've got a perfect game going.
Homer: Really?
Carl: Careful what you say, Lenny; you'll jinx him.
Lenny: Oh, right, sorry.
[Homer steps up to the line, and gets ready to bowl]
Lenny: Miss! Miss! [Homer and Carl glare at him] Sorry, I was calling the waitress.
[to waitress] Ah, this split you sold me is making me choke.
Homer: Lenny!
Lenny: What? I paid 7.10 for this split.
Carl: Will you at least call it a banana split, you dumbwad?
Lenny: Hey, spare me your gutter-mouth. [Homer strikes Lenny by throwing a bowling ball at him]

Wasn't that right after the first:
"Me too!"
?

Hmm....How can you consider Geddy Lee and not consider Entwistle?
Without Entwistle, there would be no Geddy!
IMO, I think The Who was one of the original geek bands.
*boggles*
Me too!

Lots of great info on the original IC as well as some stuff on the US version.
A bit off topic, I know, but the site rocks.
