Being a former cancer patient myself (synovial soft tissue sarcoma, left elbow), I'm all with Imabug. I've recieved both high doses of x-ray radiation in standard radiation therapy, PLUS 9 months of chemo (one week of treatment, three weeks off, same day treatment, three weeks off, repeat). Even now, my left arm is not totally covered in hair (a six inch length from mid-forarm to lower bicep) is sparsely covered in hair, although there is quite a bit there. I also had most of the muscle in that section removed because the tumor (which was cancerous) was so engrossed.
I am happy to report I've been in remission for 7 years which means I beat the fucking odd's (highest chance for recurrence is in the first 5 years, after which chances for recurrance drop dramatically) with my arm MOSTLY intact (fucking Mayo Clinic wouldn't to amputate from the shoulder down). I'd say a six inch scar, a bit of radiation therapy (10 weeks, 5 days a week, recieved max dosage) and chemo-therapy a SMALL price to pay. Especially since the cocktail of drugs I recieved was slightly experimental (if I remember correctly).
So please, don't try to sound smart when talking about this stuff. Either you know it or you don't. Faking it just makes you look dumber then you would have had you just said "Me too!"
http://edcsns17.cr.usgs.gov/EarthExplorer/ doesn't support Mozilla 1.x or Netscape 6.x or 7.x because they don't use Java2. So now I'm gonna have to install Netscap 4.7...what bs.
That is interesting. I'll have to keep it in mind, although I don't see how obtaining a copy is any different then making the copy yourself. Either way you are "obtaining" a copy.
I tihnk it's great that MAME has finally gone Open Source, but another poster made a far more important point, IMO. The ROM liscensing. As far as I know, ROM's are only legal to have if you own the game (either the cartridge or the cabinet).
First, I don't see how it was redundant, but thats okay.
Two, the article indicated a PHP bundled with Apache, and I've seen Apache downloads from the Apache web site that are bundled with mod_perl (and mod_ssl). Thats why I asked my question.
What is so good with PHP and do you really need mod_perl for perl scripts to work in Apache (and doesn't mod_perl already install with Apache)? Personally, I don't want to see the Apache download file get to much bigger with a bunch of extra stuff not everyone is going to use.
this is nothing new, I've read in the NYTimes (The Peril of Too Much Power) that America spends more on the military then the next 8 world powers combined!! We've always had the ability, we can just do it more efficiently.
Personally, I applaud MS in allowing the removal of WiMP, IE, and Messenger. I use messenger very rarely, IE even more so, and WiMP...*L* What a fucking joke of a media player. I'll take Winamp any day over WiMP or RealPlayer or even QuickTime (especially now that Winamp has plug-in support for all of the above formats).
I agree. Just because we don't know something is safe doesn't mean we shouldn't try it. Personally, I've lived through cancer (6 yrs in remission) and while I wouldn't wish it on anyone, there is more known about cancer then SCID and I'd be willing to place 100:1 odds that Rhys would rather fight cancer then live in a bubble the rest of his life, I know I would rather fight cancer again and again then live isolated from the entire fucking world.
Your opinion of the Second Chronicles aside, if you have them and don't like them/want them, contact me!! I've been trying to get a hold of them for YEARS!
True, true. I can't believe MS is actually using that defense. The stripped down version of Windoze is Win95 (or even Win3.1). They already have it, they just need to update the kernal and keep the interface from one of those two versions of their OS.
Hubbard actually promised his members
Okay, but didn't Hubbard write Dianetics as an answer to a bar bet which in effect makes Scientology nothing more then a joke?
Not really, considering that they use a readme.html instead of an actual index.html (the readme.html allows a directory listing along with other HTML text, very kewl IMHO).
Okay, so there are logistical problems involved, but if it was just China vs. USA, and China managed to train it's whole citizenry as militiamen (for homeland defense), I still think they could very well do it.
Okay, so I was off on US Population, must of been thinking about NYC.:-P
Still, you understand that we are still outnumbered by more then 10 to 1. In todays high tech warfare, thats certain death for those outnumbered. Militaries no longer have the same equipment (e.g. swords, shields and spears). We now have different varieties of rifles, machine guns, pistols, armor, armored units (such as tanks and apc's and what not), naval warfare. The playing field stopped being level when the Industrial Revolution hit. Granted we have the most high tech military in the world, but even homefield advantage doesn't win the home team the day. When it comes down to it, we haven't been able to fight a guerilla war since our OWN Civil War (just look at Korea nad Vietnam, we got our asses kicked from here to hell and back, not to mention they were getting help from China).
If China were to invade, we'd lose. Plain and simple.
And yes, if the U N tries to take away my guns, I'll shoot them until they are dead, bring them back to life, kill them again, repeat process.
I'm sorry, but you are incorrect. China DOES hav the capability of invading the US and actually succeeding if they did it correctly. They have a population of OVER 1 billion people. I don't think the US has a pop of over 50 million. We are so outnumbered in sheer numbers it's not even funny. There can only be so much said for superior tactics and weaponry.
Actually, if you go to 3D Realms web site, you can still download for free shareware versions of their games and purchase registered copies of ALL their games. I'm currently saving up so I can get the complete Duke Nukem collection and Wolfenstien and Spear of Destiny. w00t, talk about classic FPS. Hehe, I love DukeMatching.:-D
As for games that are truly abandoned, I don't know. Yeah, we as gamers would love to be able to play these classics and share them with friends on the net, but also I would love to see the companies make money off of them if that is what they want, too. You can have it both ways. Just think of the money that will go towards the next latest and greatest title from these companies. Would you want a game released tomorrow to look like Liesure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, or would ou want it to look better then anything Squaresoft put out to date? Personally, I want the later. If I want LSLLLL type games, I'll download them from the internet (whether it's from the companies site or an abandonware site).

"Also, there are some chemo drugs that have a lifetime maximum dose... you get amount X and NO MORE... ever."
;-)
Same goes for radiation therapy. I speak from personal exp on that one.
And being completely hairless has it's advantages. For one thing you don't have to shave/comb/wash any hair.

That is indeed weird. You would think owning a copy of at least the cartridge version would clear you from any illegalities.
So much for that.

I gave up looking about 3-4 years after I started searching. Thanks for all the links, /.'ers

After talking and reading the responses, yeah, okay, it would be a logistical nightmare, but it's still a very good possibility.

go here http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/cygwin/ for the latest cygwin port of Apache. Doesn't look like there is much there, though.
I would go ahead and upgrade to 1.3.23
Any upgrade that fixes a security hole is an upgrade worth getting, IMHO, especially if security is an issue.
