Of course, even if an album is RIAA-released, the site
helpfully gives you a link to buy the album which, of course, is
an Amazon referral-kickback link. Greed makes strange bedfellows!
As a former QuantumLink user
('Jaeger', if anyone cares), I still feel some amount of bitterness in
my gut about how America On-Line let the Q's database go to hell over
time. Monopolistic actions? Hell, that's only the latest reason
to despise Steve Case.
The secret level is in the Commodore 64 version,
and possibly others. As for being "bizarre (and extremely
hard)"--aren't they all bizarre and extremely hard?
Bitch, bitch, bitch. There's a lot of interesting info in the
Bodenstaendig
site, including hints and tips, discussion of ports,
and--yeah!--the entire ingame
soundtrack (pity it's in mono though).
Half-Price Books is not nationwide, but does have
locations in eleven states (WHQ is in Dallas). As a fellow
Columbusite, I second FMC's complimentary post. As with most
usedbookstores, though, you have to
purchase what you can get when you find it, 'cause the next time you
visit, it might be gone!
I count three simple questions (e-mail address, Where
did you find out about us, and password). The rest are
intrusive and obnoxious.nbsp; Sometimes you can get around silly M*
questionnaires if you're already well-known to the people there...
if not, try asking the same questions of the admins.
Still no joy from FooBarMUD? Hell, just
run your own server; no
need to put up with grandstanding egomaniacs' silly demands if you're
writing your own ticket. Back on topic: You just need to be
careful you aren't breaking your ISP's TOS by running a server...;)
Charming attitude. Not wanting to release an exploit is one
thing; not wanting to even describe a problem is security
through obscurity, and you know how loved that
is. Apparently even just interoperating with MS-Windows software
causes one to be infected with Microsoft attitudes.
And no, I'm not claiming that you're lying about any such exploitable
bug existing. Oh, what the hell I'm bound to get flamed for
daring to question this in any case. 'Tis the nature of the
beast.
Probably the best source (ahem) for real-world working signal-processing code, for bit-twiddling
type people, is SoX,
which has been vastly improved by its current maintainer
Chris Bagwell who took it over in 1995. It includes
a few different filtering algorithms (see band.c,
deemphas.c, earwax.c, filter.c, highp.c, lowp.c)
among other changes (no more clicking noises when resampling,
hooray!).
Yes, let's look at the definition of "professional", shall we?
According to Merriam-Webster, the first meaning of "professional" is this:
1 a : of, relating to, or characteristic of a profession b :
engaged in one of the learned professions c (1) : characterized by
or conforming to the technical or ethical standards of a
profession (2) : exhibiting a courteous, conscientious, and
generally businesslike manner in the workplace
Personally, I'm wondering what (if anything) is going to become of Loki's development tools like Simple DirectMedia Layer and smpeg. These projects were originated by Lokipeople (especially Sam Lantinga), and I consider these development tools much more important than a port of [Insert name of 3-D graphical wank-fest here].
Is internet explorer the only one vulnerable to these malicious javascript?
Probably not. In fact iexplore has considerably finer-grained controls for javascript (or as it says, "scripting of java applets") than netscape (or at least current versions of netscape).
Options -> Internet Settings -> Security -> The Internet -> Custom -> Scripting
and set everything to either "Prompt" or "Disable" as whim requires.
As the notice at the top says, the bill never became law, but it probably doesn't surprise anyone that the morons who try to make money fast with unsolicited commercial mail don't know any better than to copy and paste the canned paragraph you quoted!
The new "Clippy" campaign, which can be found at www.officeclippy.com,
will be a small part of the larger $30 million Office XP campaign. The
Clippy site will include e-mail and a variety of "viral" marketing
tools that Microsoft hopes users will use to
e-mail portions of the ad
material like songs and presentations animated with Macromedia Flash
to one another.

I don't mind Google linking via blogs (in other words, I have one myself), but as for stupid bloody googlism.com links... aaargh.
One really cheesy way of making cookies.txt unsaveable is
> del cookies.txt
> mkdir cookies.txt
(Yes, really, this was recommended by some sources way back when Netscape 3 first came out.)
I'm pretty sure Libertarian-drone tripe like this counts as pollution.

Right, especially when putting

The method of combining photos into a mosaic, like every other good idea on the planet, is patented. Try pbmtoascii for textual mosaics.
Curious. IANA's WHOIS server index doesn't list a WHOIS server for .cx. Logically whois.nic.cx would seem appropriate, but it doesn't exist.
Aw, why are you complaining? Since Dr Bronner is no longer with us, we have to get our crackpot health theories where we can find them.
