  1. ANSI Art on iCE's Modern Version Of Old-Fashioned Quilting Bee · · Score: 1

    For those that still want to see ansi art: http://www.sixteencolors.net/ -- It needs a lot of work, but it's there.

  2. Re:A slow-growing benign tumor? on Mobile Phone Use And Acoustic Neoroma · · Score: 1

    The 1 in 100,000 chance is per year and for acoustic neuromas in general. so you still need to compare to 1 in 700,000 first of all, and they're saying the chance is doubled from 1 in 100,000 per year.

    I happen to have an acoustic neuroma. I was diagnosed with it at the age of 24 (I'm now 25) which is very young for it to occur. This study makes me woner. Although, I didn't start using a cell phone until 5 or 6 years ago.

  3. Re:Thanks ACiD on ACiD Productions Releases Final Artpack · · Score: 1

    There are a couple of RIP images in the pack.

  4. Re:ICE RULES on ACiD Productions Releases Final Artpack · · Score: 1

    I'm sure this was just a purposeful jackass comment, but http://www.ice.org

    iCE still releases every single month. Their tiles project (http://tiles.ice.org) has also been very successful.

  5. Idle Dreams ANSI Archive on ACiD Productions Releases Final Artpack · · Score: 3, Informative

    This site is only partially finished, but you can see an online ANSI art gallery (of all groups) at http://ansi.idledreams.net. Hopefully it won't crash too hard from /. :)

  6. Re:ANSI Art Library on Color Ascii Art Library · · Score: 1

    No, I use .NET's caching. :) I do have a specific timeout set, but it's in the magnitude of days. And as we both said, the server was accessible the whole time, the GDI++ stuff just has some memory issues at times.

  7. Re:ANSI Art Library on Color Ascii Art Library · · Score: 1

    That has nothing to do with it. ;) It's not really a production quality server. It's actually handled the /. audience pretty damn well.

  8. Re:ANSI Art Library on Color Ascii Art Library · · Score: 2, Informative

    And don't forget ASCII sites

    http://www.mimic.ca

    OK. I'm lame and only know one ASCII group site. :)

  9. Re:Unicode on Color Ascii Art Library · · Score: 1

    If it supported Unicode it wouldn't be ASCII.

  10. Re:ANSI Art Library on Color Ascii Art Library · · Score: 1

    OK. It died even quicker than I expected. The site loads fine,b ut if you get broken images all over it's because the server has run out of RAM (it sucks). Check back later and it should be fine. I swear the site works :)

  11. ANSI Art Library on Color Ascii Art Library · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It'll probably get slashdotted quickly, but for those who remember ANSI Art groups like iCE and ACiD I am in the process of creating a library of their packs viewable online. http://ansi.idledreams.net for the actual site and http://idledreams.net/ansi/ for news about it.

  12. Indexing URLs, not conversations on Google Expanding To IRC? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    From the information I've seen, Google is capturing URLs in channels, not the actual conversations.

  13. Re:I used to have the largest collection on the ne on Appreciation For All Things ASCII · · Score: 1

    Do you have anything that isn't on mimic.ca's ftp?

  14. ANSI Art on Appreciation For All Things ASCII · · Score: 2, Informative

    If this actually gets clicked by many people it will crash quickly, but for the few that make it to the site before it's completely bogged down, Idle Dreams has a massive ANSI Art Library (thousands of art packs). I'm working on a new version, but this one is functional at least. Not the greatest bit of work, but the artwork is there.

  15. Re:Christmas bonus - why? on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I believe the issue is that money was spent on him, but it was worthless. He would much rather see money on his paycheck than a bobblehead of the CEO that is going straight into the garbage.

  16. Re:ANSI archive sites? on Remembering the BBS · · Score: 1

    idledreams.net is online, it's just hampered by a slow setup, i'm working on recoding it, though

    http://www.idledreams.net/ansi/ is the correct address, enter with your own patience :)

    if it gets totaly slashdotted it'll be dead. :)
