Just like to mention that it's not Norton Antivirus, but Norton Internet Security and Norton Personal Firewall that seems to have this feature.
And what's more: NIS/NPF 2003 had this last year. I used it for a while, and it worked great. But to be honest, I've never been bothered by ads, so I turned it off (I rather have less taking up memory/CPU time than some piece of software block a few ads).
Now, pop up blocking? That's a different story... I'll definitely leave that setting in Firebird for that one.
Too bad they don't have enough to even pay for keeping the lights on in that place. Having been given a backstage tour, it's really depressing to know that our government won't even kick in a few more dollars for something of such interesting and historical importance. Of course, it's also partly an embarassment, but what do I know? Anyway, definitely worth a visit - even though the regular tour they give is rather boring (since they don't have enough to power the lights there, imagine what else it's missing?)
Maybe I misspoke - I didn't mean to imply that the store owner deserves to control sales, but why must he be forced out of business solely on the fact that other people don't feel like they should pay for people's work (including the store owner's - people seem to forget that store owners DO work for the good of both shoppers and suppliers)? Yes, another business model could be found - but shouldn't we at least give our economy a chance to find this mystical business model before forcing store owners out of business?
Anyway, I'm being a hypocrite for getting into this, so I'll shut up:)
Okay, although I'm definitetely/not/ against P2P, I'm getting tired of this argument. Yes, you didn't "steal" the chocolate bar in the original sense of the word (the owner still has it), BUT - how will the store owner sell that chocolate bar a second time if the next person copies it? Again, the owner still has the chocolate bar, but if everyone who goes into that store copies the bar, how will the store owner ever sell it? And if everything in his store could be copied, how would he ever sell anything?
He'd/she'd go out of business, unless he/she changed the business' format - but why is that person forced to do that because people are unwilling to pay for something they want?
Anyway, I'm not saying that downloading music is similar, since there are MANY good arguments for music P2P, but the store analogy doesn't work...
Holy shit - I apologize for the above post. My mind is most definitely not on the topic at hand. For some reason, I skipped a sentence or two and missed the link to X-Entertainment in the story. Bah. That's what I get for Slashdotting at 4am (and not completely, uh, in my best state of mind shall we say).
Ah well, the Atarihq.com link I gave above is interesting, at the very least. See? I did contribute something.
Not sure why no one has mentioned this yet, but X-Entertainment, an excellent and funny source of 80s and 90s pop culture (among other things) did a review of this movie 10 days ago, including video clips of various scenes (including the "I love the Power Glove" quote). Tons of pictures, and funny comments throughout (just ignore the constant overexagerations - Matt seems to like using them).
Anyway, an excellent review of a movie I thoroughly loved as a kid. I watched it a few weeks ago on a local TV station, and was happy to remember how utterly engrossed I was when this originally came out. Sure, I had already played Super Mario Brothers 3 before seeing the film (which made me almost angry when I had already played the big secret game in the movie), but it didn't matter - just hearing and seeing references to games I loved (TMNT, SMB, Double Dragon, etc.) was more than enough to make me happy. I only wish I could watch a movie in the same way today.
Califfooorrnia! (I still quote that kid to this day, for some gods-aweful reason)
(P.S. I found this in my google search for a sound file of the above mentioned kid - which I never did find. It's about the Nintendo World Championships in 1990... An odd look back in the past).
There's several methods to do what you want. My personal favourite is EBCD. With a little changing here and there, it's become the most powerful boot CD I can possibly imagine! Every util for Windows and Linux (FAT16, 32, NTFS, etc.) is there... I'm not related to them whatsoever, but after getting their Pro version and manipulating it to my tastes (switching some programs to my own copies), I don't think I'll have to worry about boot disks for a long while.
Also, there's "Bart's Way" which is heavy on modules. Check out his website: http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/
As already been mentioned, it's a bootleg... Mind you, considering I personally don't have access to most of these movies other than the bootleg available at a local rental store (called "The Miyazaki Collection", but sounds similar to yours) or downloading them off the internet, I don't care - if Disney can give me a better copy, with better video and audio (and hopefully translation, as Kiki's, if I remember correctly, seemed off sometimes), I'd be more than happy to spend the money. Here's hoping!
Hopefully this means that the next CPUs out of AMD won't be able to warm up the apartment come winter.
Generally this means that AMD won't be working with United Microelectronics (UMC) anymore... a contract that was just recently made (January). (EE Times hints that IBM has been "muscling in" on UMC's turf lately - ouch).
The deal apparently marks an end to AMD's arrangement with United Microelectronics Corp., a Taiwan-based foundry with which AMD was to develop process technology and build a 300-mm fabrication facility in Singapore. Asked about that earlier partnership, an AMD spokesman said the two sides "are amicably winding up their joint development relationship."
Looks like a nice program... Sadly it doesn't play Jones in the Fast Lane, no matter what I try it ends up with the error:
Exit to error: Call to interrupt 0xCD this is BAD
But, it's not finished yet... I'll give it a shot later down the road. I'll just stick with doing it the hard way (having a second computer)... *shrug*
I know I already posted something similar, but only 2.0pre4 is available on their site. I used it, and it was only a smidgen faster than 1.4.1 - other nice goodies, of course, not still not powerful (speed wise) enough to do anything useful (games, larger software, etc.) I can't wait until it speeds up, though, since it seems to work better than VMware for me... (no pretty GUI though)
(rant) To Slashdot Editors: CLICK THE FREAKING LINKS. I'm getting really, really sick of all these false stories. I swear, although it's only a joke right now, the fact that people can't trust Slashdot is becoming a real issue...
Sadly, that's what I'm currently doing... A lot of hassle, though when emulating DOS doesn't sound like a difficult thing to do (I'd assume, but of course, I'm not programmer).

I tried using Bochs 1.4.1 to play some old DOS games (since VMware doesn't support SoundBlaster Live! for whatever reason), and it was so slow that my type "md games" took several seconds! With a bit of tweaking, I was able to get it decently working, but games would be horrendously slow... "Jones in the Fast Lane" was so slow, I almost screamed! (Of course, then it froze, but oh well...) My point: anything would be faster than what it was... Anyone have any experience with it yet?
(My system isn't a super one, but 800mhz/512megs of RAM should be enough to play DOS games)...
Horrendous in that their uploads are at 768 if I remember correctly... That's quite a cap, especially since you're paying for more speed. Of course, you're right in essense... I'm at 1200/384 so that kind of cap wouldn't be so bad...
Good information can also be found here , here and here.
Basically, their excuse is security related, which is crap since more security problems occur with Internet Explorer, IIS and Windows itself than with P2P software...
As mentioned at DSL Reports, the upload is being capped at 128kb/s, NOT banned... Here's a quote from one of the links above (by HaveOOLnow)
No, it affects all uploads. If you upload at a certain rate for more than a certain amount of time, you automatically get capped [at 128kps]. But all you have to do is call them to get uncapped. The system is just designed to make people aware of the fact that they might have P2P apps running in the background.
The cap seems to be about 6 hours in length. Quite horrendous, but we all saw this coming, right? To be honest, I'd rather this and have unlimited download/uploads, than both... *shrug* Or, maybe if it only happens when the server is being heavily used (evenings and such).
Considering I'm at the max, why would I care what my karma is? Actually, let me rephrase that, why should I care what my karma is at all? If anyone, anywhere -cares- for karma, they seriously need to turn the computer off and go outside.

They aren't cutting off the upstream, just capping it. It's another misquote from Slashdot.
