Mine (the OS X version) seems stable, but that might just because I have not yet connected with anyone. I can see the log trying to connect to monolith.2y.net, and I have manually entered that a few times, but something tells me that server has been Slashdotted and no alternate is in sight.
Take a look at the Safari browser on OS X. It offers MS-Word-style spellcheck (red dotted underlines) for all form fields, if you enable it by right-clicking on any field. I think you may find difficulty locating a browser with search-and-replace within form fields, though. I can't say I have run across one yet.
It looks like the author is decompiling simple C programs that are compiled using Visual C++. His sample programs consist of nothing more than a main() function, a global character array, and sometimes another global function or two. It does not address ANY features of C++, even fundamental ones like classes.
I do not see how this is decompiling C++. It is simply decompiling C.
ICQ: port 5190, outbound The inbound port is fairly random, but you only need an inbound port for peer-to-peer ICQ operations (file transfers), at which point it would be better to use an application more suited for peer-to-peer (FTP, scp, SoulSeek, Gnutella, etc). Everything else can be bounced through the ICQ servers without the need for a direct inbound connection.
At first, I could not get the ROM to work, but after a little work, figured it out. For anyone that might be having difficulty getting it running under Debian, just:
apt-get install stella
then get the "stealla.pro" file from the bottom of the page and copy it to ~/.stella.pro (notice it is renamed to be a hidden dot file). You're then good to go:
About 10 years ago, I ran across a book in a used book store that greatly reminded me of Flatland called "The Planiverse." It is not quite as mathematical as Flatland, but instead gets more into the biological-type details. The residents of the planiverse are not geometric shapes, but rather 2-dimensional organisms. The book explains complexities of their world (how do you have weather in a flat world, and how do you deal with water runoff?), their society (how would 2 dimensional paper, books, and libraries work?) and biology (if a flat organism has to eat, it cannot have a digestive track, otherwise it would be split into two pieces!).
A patent search on IBM's patent server for ( (Kamen Dean) (INVENTOR,ASSIGNEE)) does not show anything too interesting in recent patents. The "Catamenial Collector" is humorously confusing...it appears to be...almost...a sex toy. Everything else he has patented recently seems to be boring and mostly medical...
How Does Nintendo Feel About the Emergence of Video Game Emulators? As is the case with any business or industry, when its products become available for free, the revenue stream supporting that industry is threatened.
Does this remind anyone else of Microsoft releasing IE for free (that is, BEFORE the legal stickiness of integrating it into the operating system) to undermine Netscape? If a big company like Microsoft can release competing products for free, why can't people release co-existing products for free? After all, emulators are cool, but they are not the best replacement for the original system--you still end up going back to the console or coin-op.
With Tomagotchis and Furbys, this story is just crazy enough to be true, even on April 1st. I think it is kind of odd that it was last modified yesterday, though....
Slashdot Mirror
That sort of reminds me of a couple of Apple patents, including a mouse with an iPod-like scroll wheel and a mouse with a touch pad instead of a button.

I remember really enjoying it, but I admit I was sixteen years old at the time and have not picked up the book since. You can find it at the usual places: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0387989161
