Seconded. I love playing a 44x22 grid of Range. Pearl is one of my favorites, but generation of solvable puzzles beyond a certain size takes a very long time, and they usually end up sharing a single common pattern. I've had games of Pearl take a day and a half to generate, and I've solved it in 10 minutes. Loopy (16x10, Kites, Hard) is my next favorite, but the yellow lines on grey background is difficult to focus on. I've tried tweaking the source and haven't found a colour that works well for me on that level.
Windows 7 Starter Edition is on the netbook I bought for my wife this Spring. The only thing that it's prevented her from doing so far is changing the desktop background. Otherwise it doesn't seem to be getting in the way. For something like a netbook, a lower-cost starter edition OS fits well.
I dropped out of University in 1996. I've never regretted anything in my life more than this. I'm happy with my life now, I have a good career and a family that I love, but I still think that dropping out was the biggest mistake I ever made. If I had the money, I'd go back, but it wouldn't be the same experience now.
In related news, razor-blade manufacturer Gillette has announced their expansion into the personal computer operating system market. When he was informed of Microsoft's plans for future versions of Windows, CEO James M. Kilts is quoted as saying, "Fuck everything, we're doing 512 bits."
I'm not sure why you'd want the CERN-branded SL, as it's configured specifically for their network (their AFS, Kerberos, printers, etc). I used it because I wasn't aware of the more generic version:
I like how these guys think. I too am producing a serious online simulation project that isn't really aimed at lowly "gamers".
My "iShitting" bowel movement simulation is an exciting new way to experience the joy of a good crap with thousands of friends from all around the world. iShitting will allow serious shitters to compete in such areas as Stench, Log Size, Color, and Composition (with bonus points awarded for visible undigested food, gum, etc). World of Warcraft has a real appeal... but seriously, folks, do you think that somebody who pretends to be an elf has what it takes to produce (and survive) the truly gargantuan masterpieces that professional shitters are famous for? Get real.
For the sake of realism, iShitting requires a full-size USB or Bluetooth toilet controller. iShitting will not support any gamepad, keyboard and mouse, wireless wand and nunchuk, Spaceball, trackball, joystick or paddles.
Like the good folks at iRacing, I also feel that iShitting should not be called a simple MMO. I have devised my own clever acronym that captures all that iShitting is: MMSGBMBMSOPF (Massively Multishitter Stinky Gigantic Brown Messy Bowel Movement Simulated Online Production Facility).
Is there an archive of these? I managed to miss about a month's worth of Tor newsletters when my throwaway mail account exceeded quota. It took me until this morning before I realized that account didn't have *any* new mail in almost a month.

Wouldn't this make them Grey Hat at best?
This is all well and good until a rogue creeper blows up half of your servers.

I don't like liver. Can we call it "Liverlessium" instead?

And thus is born the sport "Galactocaching".
We all know it anyways. Is it really that much work to type it out by hand? You could always just bookmark it and never have to worry about it again.

Why? Without at least one "hole", it's not very interesting "porn" to most people.
I meant to add, even better is to use a decent mailing list manager that supports unsubscribing. Better still is to not do it in the first place.
Just make sure you don't send that message "To" or "Cc" the same distribution of people :)
If you must send out a message like that, you've got the right idea about protecting the recipients' identities. Do it like this:
To: Undisclosed Recipients <your@own.email.address>
From: Trustworthy Travel, Inc. <your@own.email.address>
Bcc: The Actual Complete List
That way, nobody will see anybody else's email address, and even a Reply-To-All will only go to your@own.email.address.
Here's a list.
