anyone know a good keyboard that DOES NOT KEYBLOCK? Does usb suffer this?
Every logitech (and many generic) keyboards i've tried only allows 2 keys to be pressed on the keypad. Since I use the keypad for my gaming config I've been stuck with the same one for 7 nearly years. Google isnt very helpfull so thats why i'm asking on slashdot.
As long as we are talking about sequels to to classic games I can't _not_ mention Star Control 2.

If only Accloade or whoever owns it now would get off its ass and let Paul Reiche and Fred Ford ( www.toysforbob.com ) make another Starcon game (SC3 doesnt count)
It is impossible to tell if a program will stop (i'm assuming you are revering to the Church-Turing hypothesis), but it is not impossible to to prove that a program does its job (e.g. a loop for multiplication). If you take into consideration a machine with fewer states than a Turning machine (something finate, like a z80 with its 16 registers and a few k of ram) it is much simpler to prove program correctness.
There was a Scientific American article about this alternative solution a few years back.
Vol. 276, Jan. 98, pp. 60-65, Burial of Radioactive Waste Under the Seabed.
Holes could be drilled hundreds of meters below the seafloor in geologically inactive areas. Canisters spaced around 10 meters appart could be lined up around the bottom. Removal (in case something goes wrong) would not be a problem with a rentry cone at the top for a future drill.
It turns out the mud under the seabed has a consistancy of peanut butter, ideal for slowing the spread of any radioactive waste.
"Around 1,000 years later the metal seathing would corrode, leaving the nuclear waste expodes to the muds. In 24,000 years (the radiocative half-life of plutonium 239), plutonium and other transuranic elements would migrate outward les than a meter."
Unfortunatly this soulution is sometimes grouped with "ocean dumping" an therefore prohibited by international law.

The reason those directory names are so terse is because of the time it takes to type them. I'd hate to have to type that all in a telnet window.
On the other hand, if this were in a GUI (perhaps a desktop?) then the names would be helpful and easy to get to.
The human mind is good at memorizing special relations. The desktop metaphor allows us to use that in order to organize efficiently. The human mind is also good at verbal communication. Put in some practical voice recognition and you've got one slick UI.
too bad they dont have it in the online version http://www.sciam.com/2001/0601issue/0601quicksumma ry.html

Generic Phone Role Playing System?
Ever read "Diamond age"?
doom9.org/net has some very nice guides.
ac3 is posssible, although it takes some tweakeing to get it to work properly.
http://www.doom9.org/divx__ac3.htm
and vobsub, wich takes the subs directly from the dvd/vob.

I dont care for ac3, but its nice to be able to tweak avi's so much.
How cool is dual mp3 audio avi with subtitles you can turn on and off?

dont forget that dangerous chemical compound Dihydrogen Monoxide!

found in beer, baby food, and cancer.

Go take descrete structures again.
what? no option for a CD-R?
