Web Ads with Sound?

There's one at gist.com that's pretty good. You can customize your listings, which I like because I only have basic cable (required to have a cablemodem) and I only want to see the channels I have and not be tortured by the goodies on the real cable channels. A few weeks ago they started running pop-under ads once a day, so be warned.
Yuck, "ramen broth"? You mean tapwater mixed with that nasty chemical flavor packet? I drain most of the "water" off of my ramen and eat the noodles, which retain the flavor imparted by the packet without the nasty tapwater dregs.
Just chill, man...we both know this guy is an idiot...he's claiming to be a "linux admin" and yet doesn't know the first thing about nsswitch.conf? He's a moron, he's just never had anyone call him on it before.
In my experience, there's a wide, yawning gulf between "Unix admins" and "linux admins". Don't trust the latter, they don't think doing a thorough job is required.
Why are the logos only on during the show, and not during the commercials? Surely advertisers can see the value of being firmly identified with a name brand such as a prominent network. And stations merely air the shows, they do not own the copyrights.
Nothing wrong with using an already-successful game engine to implement a new work. Re-inventing the wheel is wasteful.
I like the new Wolfenstein because:
The WWII historical aspect. The uniforms look great. The weapons look great. The Jerries even have the potato masher grenades, and the Americans have their baseball-like pineapples.
The weapons. Boy, I just love shooting the MP 40...just the sound it makes is great. I guess you have to be into WWII history to appreciate it. Most quake players will probably just say, "it stinks!" and move on to the rocket launcher, but to me, the fact that they took the time to model a weapon near and dear to my heart really makes the game. Don't even get me started on the devastating MG 42.
Userfriendly isn't nearly in the same league as "Dilbert". It's not as funny, not as witty, and the creator didn't work at Pac Bell for 10 years. Furthermore, "Dilbert" has a rather larger audience, which is all office workers. It's not blue-collar in the slightest (?)
It's widely known that nothing of note happened in WWII until the USA became involved in 1942. No discussion of the incredibly brilliant sickle stroke through Belguim that was the very model of the quick, decisive war need be undertaken in any forum.
None of these programs will screw up your system folder, or indeed, even write anything at all to your system folder.
Wrong, flat wrong. Files were indeed overwritten in my SYSTEM folder. Just because I wanted to play a few games doesn't mean I hallucinate watching an installer write to/WINDOWS/SYSTEM.
Typical slashdot sheep moderators did what you told them...hope you're happy. Facts defeated, bad knowledge successfully spread...a good day's work.
I installed the Windows program necessary to play the games, (which was not particularly easy to find, as in it wasn't blazingly obvious), and I saw the installer overwrote a few files in my SYSTEM folders. Be warned!
Photographers who are in love with black-and-white bug me. It's obsolete. Blah blah blah Ansel Adams blah blah blah the lighting is better blah blah fuckety-blah blah. Who cares what photographers like? I just want a fucking picture of what the story's about, mmmkay?
Well, you could be in a situation like mine, where the registrar for my locality is completely un-responsive to any email sent about registering a domain. In my case, this will be an improvement, as I will actually be able to register a domain. I also seem to recall other localities that charge outrageous rates ($500/yr) for registration, effectively preventing anyone from registering.
The "unpredictable smaller unit" thing has been done in games, and gamers generally hate it, due to the unpredictability. "Waah, I told those guys to take that objective, and they farted around and got killed instead"...even though it's realistic.
But the root problem with the whole "there's no strategy in real-time strategy" is that computer gaming is about winning, not playing. Most paying customers of gaming companies would rather rack up wins with a "wins every time" method than be forced to strategize on their own.
Sounds like the policy implementors are concentrating on making things easier for themselves, rather than making things easier for the people that do the actual work in the company.

Wow, racist humor. I sure thought that stuff was dead and buried, but thanks for sharing!

Outlook [Express] is indeed the dominant mail client.
Java an OS?
Microsoft the ruler of no markets? Hel-lo? Being a Microsoft Apologist is easier when one doesn't talk nonsensically.
Only a geek would feel the need to qualify a statement about dice with the fact that the dice are six-sided. Or spell "roll" as "role".
We can only hope that someday, the 8-track format and all music recorded thereupon will no longer blemish the face of the Earth.
The storage medium may suffer over time, but the BITS are still there, and can be copied to a new medium, with ZERO loss. Not so with film.

Memory cards are not cheap, in some cases the cost of the higher-capacity cards can easily exceed the cost of the digital camera.
