Speaking of Fallout, does anyone remember a game called Wasteland? It resembled Bard's Tale/Wizardry but with a post-apocalyptic setting. Is Fallout somehow descended from that?
I remember wasteland! That was a great game back in the Tandy days, my friends and I wasted many months when we should have been outside doing other stuff. In fact I'd love it if I could find a copy somewhere, it would be fun to relive those memories for a short while.

Very simple solution to that one.... bash: ln -s/dev/null ~/.netscape/cookies This way cookies are stored in memory for the life of the browser session, and sent to the bit bucket when you close netscape. Of course this assumes that you are useing NS under some sort of *NIX.
I'm not sure about "shipping" it to canada, but I went through the webpage to order it and there is a pop to dial into the service in Edmonton, AB. I called the POP up and it looks like they are just buying access from UUnet
does it have enough juice to decode mp3s? I should hope so:> up until 2 weeks ago I was running X, Netscape, 10+ Xterms, and decoding MP3's on a p120 w/64MB of ram I've never seen a winchip in action, but I'm pretty sure that it should handle the decoding without any problems
I still don't understand why large cities can't combine their problems. Why is it not possible to create a large clay bowl a 100 yds across and several miles long and cover it with a transparent material. Feed waste water, pulverized trash and all sorts of bio-agents like this into one end. Along the way, air pumps keep the water supplied with oxygen and force exhaust gas full of fuel out of the system. On the other end you extract a ground enriching slurry to sell to farmers, and all along the middle you collect flamable gas to pipe to a power generator located next to the enclosure. Well I know of one Canadian city that sorta does that now. They have a "free" wood chipping and yard waste disposal plant. Once they have a big'ol pile of wood chips and such they mix it with partially treated organic waste, let it ferment for a year or so, and then sell it as 'Oggie grow. It actually makes the city a fair chunk of change, and saves a lot of room at the landfill.

If there are any Canadians that wish to test this out I can help. I work for an ISP which has POP's in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver. I can set you up with a test l/p, and we can see what games open what ports.
I'd love to be able to use Gimp for everything but it seems like a lot to learn over again. If I'm wrong and there are good tutorials and books out there, please let me know For starters try The Gimp Manual which in my opinion is quite well done. It might be considered a little outdated, but it's a great intro to the gimp.
Where are the debs for this? They're not on my local mirror, ftp.debian.org, or ftp.us.debian.org. I mean I can probably wait a day or two, but when I ran apt-get upgrade I was hoping for the new Xserver.

Now, if only I can GET one of these in Canada...

IIRC SuSe keeps both SaX, and YaST closed sourced. It's a real shame to since I found SaX a nice way to configure X.

There are several other companies offering Xdsl services in Alberta as well.
I found a workaround for that bug... Useing Window Maker just switch to another workspace and text imput works again.
