Since I've never read a blog and and never plan to, I don't care how much advertising they put in it. Plus, maybe they would spend less on other areas and I would have to deal with less annoying flash ads.
Well, crap. Last I read, they were considering those changes, but now it's official. Crap.
I'm too young to remember the show from when it first appeared, but I watched the reruns as a child and, despite the comically overused footage, loved the show. Heck, the was even willing to tolerate Muffit the daggit.
See, now I'm confused, because every time I've played with net send (and, no, I'm not spamming), I've never been able to send anything to anyone who isn't on my network. Any attempt to send to an IP outside the network just disappeared.
And, yeah, I have gotten a couple of these before I re-disabled the messanger service.
The was my school's network is set up, I can only 'see' the computers on my floor. So if I get a netsend message, I have a very limited group of people to choose from. Once I look up the names on the computers I can see, it's not hard to find the message sending one...
I have a 20 mb (yes, you read that right) hard drive from 1989 that I can still read just fine. I've hooked it up once or twice over the years just for the nostalgia.
but I am starting out in Linux right now and I'm finding LFS (Linux From Scratch) to be a very good tutorial to the ins and outs of a linux system.
For people who don't want to look it up, it basically has you compile a custom version of linux on a separate partition. Since you have to install everything from scratch, you are forced to learn what everything does.
The second half of the poem was what allowed the ghost to possess Michael (It was after Michael read the poem that they kinda fit together personality wise) AND it contained clues about the disaster that allowed the ghost to set things into motion. By removing the second half, the ghost will never possess Michael and he therefore will not be around to ask the heros to take him back in time.
P.S. I think the sofa is the best part of the book. It's the only time in my life I've actually put a book down and laughed out loud for several minutes the moment I got that.
When I was in middle school, I didn't have the 'net at home, so I had to use the library's. You would not believe the trouble I had looking up the Trojan War. (Really.)
I did not have so much of a problem with Season 3 as Season 4. I really like this show, but it seemed like in this last season that the plots would be really contrived. It also seemed like they could not keep a character's attitude the same from episode to episode.
I guess what it felt like to me was a patchwork of stories: As if they had seperate teams writing the various plots, completely blind to each other, and then stitched them together at the last minute. Obviously, this isn't the case, but you know what I mean.
Since it's based on the Palm OS, it probably has a clock in the upper corner. Let me look.......yep. It does. However, given how big this screen is going to be, I doubt it will be very readable. Perhaps they should have a button on it to switch it to a large screen view?
But, per the google group discussion, is used my firewall software to block a couple of IP addresses that the java program is based off of. I just visited the BBC news site, and I'm not getting record of a block to those IPs in my firewall logs. It is possible that they already took this stuff down?
I can only guess that a lot of people rushed over to/. to see if a similar article was posted. Weird.

But I've had problems playing it. Due to legal issues, I can't set up my own server on campus, so I must depend on the servers I can find in the game. So far, it seems that most people are just playing small games with their friends that they password protect.
I like playing as an alien, but it is annoying to try to play by yourself versus several marines. Maybe I'm missing something, but I have not been able to attack a machine gun turret without dieing yet.
Also, if you are a server: Just becuase your crappy PC can run a CS server doesn't mean it can run a 30 person NS server. The game seems to need a lot more umpf per player. They have already issued a patch for the servers to fix this, but it doesn't help when your computer sucks already.
But look how many of us there are. Plus, I doubt most software companies would normally consider selling ads. If they believe a group of 400000+ nerds were watching it, they might just consider it a viable market.
That's b/c Invisible Man and Farscape were total crap! Lexx is crap! The new Twilight Zone is crap! Any other "SF originals" that I forgot? Oh yeah, Saint-Sinner is crap! Taken is crap!
I would agree with you on Lexx and that crappy new Outer Limits (I think that's what you ment) and Good vs Evil (again, I watch too much tv), but I liked the other two.
Farscape was really good, at least for the first couple seasons. This last one was kinda crap. I know I'll be flamed for that, but, seriously, it seemed like the characters could not keep the same personality from episode to episode.
The invisible man gave me some good chuckles, again, mainly in the first couple seasons. When they brought in that person from Black Scorpion and actually started getting serious about the plot, they lost focus. It was a comedy, not a drama! Ugh.
It's too bad we can't start our own cable network....can you imagine the/. channel? What would you (yeah you! the one reading this right now!) put on it.
A/. channel? Hmm.... MST3K, a little anime, a GOOD scifi movie on Saturday nights (like Tron), Red Dwarf, Futurama. In the morning, say, 8-11 am, you could show the cartoons from our childhoods. Who doesn't like to watch those when they are sick?:)
back in the day was the neat way you could use Babelfish to get around the school firewall. Just set it to translate from X->English. Worked a lot better when the languages had less words in common.
And before anyone makes any pr0n jokes, this was something that NEEDED to be done. My high schools firewall was overly sensitive and based upon keywords. Imagine my trouble finding a web site on the Trojan War!(This was back before we got an ISP at home.)
Well, what can I say... I guess I am the steriotypical nerd. The side of computer case is perpetually unscrewed and leaning against the tower. I have a really big bookcase for all my DVDs, sci-fi books and CDs. Got a log box 'o parts for when I need to make a connection or repair somewhere. I have papers for various projects and ideas spewn about everywhere. That's about it. I would have more, but this is just the stuff I took with me to college. The rest is filling another room at home.:)

Cool. I may just have to download it and install it. I'm still a newbie to Linux, so I don't know these things yet.
P.S. That is a really great sig. If the reply to this wasn't under it, it would be hard to tell it from the real thing.

that this is exactly what I was told, so many years ago, that Java was originally designed for. Obviously didn't work out, though.

The MIT people choose the format they did because they would have made $8 million in royalties and the like. (This was 1993)
Then, in 1997, they had a royalty dispute with Dolby over the royalties. The settlement out of court is the $30 million mentioned.
The interesting part is that that 1993 decision helped make US digital tv use dolby instead of mpeg, like they apparently use in Europe

That's...a lot of monitors. And towers. Have you had any luck selling them?

So this is that "Terrible Space Secret" I keep hearing about....
Having a star as close as the moon would probably be pretty warm, too.
