The problem as I see it is that Lego is not very different from most other toys on the market since they've gradually turned from selling bricks for building stuff, and instead sell finished buildings, vehicles and other stuff from solid plastic. The creativity Lego always invited in the past is mostly gone, and so is the very thing that made them great to begin with:|
... or get a job you like. There is really no other option if you're unable to wrap your brain around unpleasant tasks. Some people manage this on a daily basis, but there is no reason you should expect to.
An ssh connection forwarding the remote port 139 to 127.0.0.1:139, and then doing smbmount to//127.0.0.1/<mountpoint> - works great, and is practical considering Samba is often already running on the remote side.
and a look into the future when technical achievements are no longer the driving force
Look at the movies - we've had them for a long time, and technology is still one of the main driving forces. If you believe this will change for either games or movies, you're just being narrow minded.
If this is a preferred mode of flight for human brains, why can't we imagine these ships having thrusters in all directions compensating movement and accelleration to that it appears to the pilot as if it's constant thrust?
Not exactly forgotten perhaps, but strangelovely few people I've talked to have seen this classic - now even relevant today with mad generals on the loose throughout!
Favourite quote: "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here - this is the War Room!"
Gone were the tactical combats with different party members complementing each other, which I had so loved in Baldur's Gate and other titles.
NWN is nothing more than a 3d diablo hack'n'slash clickfest as it stands now. The storyline isn't bad but the game as a whole is nothing I'll ever play again or buy sequels to.
Why oh why did they give up the winning formula from the earlier titles!?

With style sheets you're able to define exactly how the document should look, and display it across different platforms and browsers.
I use this concept, along with small scripts I've written myself (you know Perl, right?:) to read Sci-Fi / Fantasty titles I've downloaded from Direct Connect on my Zaurus PDA.
Highly recommended, since you can easily adjust the screen brightness on your preferred display device and turn off the regular reading lamp that's otherwise certain to annoy your spouse.
Not exactly "new", but if you haven't read these books, you should get started right away. Well written space opera with characters you'll remember in a future that's not far from believable.
Your software for Zaurus/Qtopia has made my Zaurus infinitely more usable, especially tkcAddressbook, tkcCalendar and most of all tkcJabber (nice!). How is the business side of the Zaurus application development - how are sales?
Receiving an SMS sent three days ago isn't all that uncommon in Norway, especially in periods of high traffic (holidays etc.) - so if the tests don't account for these delays, there are sure to be messages recorded as "lost" when they, in fact, just take a LONG time.
Up until recently, my wife and I lived in small apartments, with only one room available to function both as a workplace and a bedchamber. The working was mostly done by me, and the sleeping by my wife. It kind of worked, for a long time, until we got hold of some money (legally, actually!) and got a bigger place. Apart from my wife occasionaly complaining about missing the keyboard clicks and humming fans, having a non-tech bedroom has done wonders for both our sleep patterns and our sex-life (which was good to begin with;)
Konq has a feature that I really enjoy: 'Automatically accept session cookies'
Session cookies are generally those that provide application persistency, applications that often won't work without them - even ones I've written myself:). They're erased when you close your browser, thus rendering them incapable of tracking your long term web surfing. Being able to let all of these through means a lot of 'allow this cookie?' dialogs I don't need to see.
Also, konq has (Mozilla too, I believe) a 'smart' popup window policy, showing only windows that you yourself 'request' by clicking a link etc. Automated popups magically just don't appear.
Blocking regular ads on pages is an interesting feature in Mozilla, which I'm glad doesn't exist in konqueror or most other browsers - I can't see how this could be good for the user in the long run.
It's worth adding to this something I'm sure you're fully aware of, but which probably isn't understood by everyone: if you do not need the verification offered by a browser-supported CA, you can sign your own certificates (for free, of course) and still get the exact same encryption and, indeed, security.
Great for everything but the situations where you need your customers to hear from someone else that you're really you.
Just switched from Thawte (adding $100 each year for your certificate services is NOT a good way to hold on to your customers, Thawte!) to InstantSSL.
At $49 a piece for standard certificates they're the cheapest my company could find when we went looking last month. So far I have no problems recommending them.

there's NO SUCH THING as a lagrange point!

what kind of lighting most represents real sunlight?

I can't believe that adults actually take the time to view this utterly midless trash.
Hot dames tho'.
Yes.

Wrong, data is also TCP. FTP has no UDP component.
after all, it was running Linux.

And there's no chance this was due to air moving either as a result of sound waves or hear emission from the flash? :)

To quote the talking dog (which is ridiculous, because everybody knows dogs can't talk) Gaspode from Terry Pratchett's universe:
'Woof bloody woof'.
Good stuff. Now, how *do* I get onto that spaceship?
