Unfortunatly, some web-hosts won't give you smtp access for your domain. Jumpline.com and dibby.com are two that I know of. If you host www.mydomain.com with them, you get addresses like me@mydomain.com, but no smtp server to send mail. They tell you to use your isp's server, or use everyone.net (A web-based email service provider.) Dibby even claims that this is standard policy. The reason I used these hosts is that they're quick and cheap. I've ended up having to use sendmail on my dialup machine for smtp. P.S. Why does slashdot host ads for a Windows only free internet provider? Seems to not be targeted very well.
Well, there is a Z-Machine interpreter for emacs (its on www.ifarchive.org), and there's a tetris for z-machine. There's also an inform major mode, so you can write and play interactive fiction with the same program. Heck, someone even converted DOOM to a text adventure.
They did! We got one, and my sister decided to put it in our slot cdrom drive. Course, you can just shake it out, at least on our cdrom drive. Red Storm did this with Politika, put a demo on a minicd in the back of the book.
And if the public wants to vote on this stuff, why can't they use their money to do it? Eh? Look, I hate this censorship crap as much as the next guy, and I'm even a Christian. By that I don't mean I follow dogma or whatever the Pope says. I mean I follow Christ. Still, children are minors, by law, and that means their parents can try to stop them from seeing porn or gay-lesbian propaganda or Superman or anything they like. Some of those people don't really care about the theoretical person who is or isn't harmed by whatever the heck you're talking about. They just want their kids kept "safe." Kids are impressionable, as you should know, having once been one. If a fundamentalist Christian doesn't want his kid to hear whatever the current gay-lesbian-rights activist has to say about "lifestyles" and "tolerance" and whatever else, he has the right to do that. And same to you. You have the right to try to prevent your child from seeing any of the below before he or she has reached the local age of majority: A. King James Version of the Bible B. Playboy magazine C. The Koran D. The Talmud. E. The Younger Edda. F. The Kama Sutra. G. The writings of Martin Luther King, Jr. H. Ghandi's autobiography. I. Manson's autobiography
This article begins like one of those "spot-the-error" math proofs. It makes one illogical assumption, then logically derives everything else from that. Why is the list in your article the definition of a geek? I'm a conservative christian, interested in sports, have very good self-esteem, a 3.9 GPA, and have friends who are not outsiders, yet I consider myself a geek. The most prominant geek in our school is nearly blind, very popular, and has the run of the school. The only reason his grades are down is because of the services for the blind people screwing up. I don't mean to be rude, Mr. Katz, but do try to check your assumptions before running with them, ok? I'm going into the Slashdot preferences now, and disabling your articles. Please do email me if you manage to write a particularly enlightening one, all right?
Actually, it was the predecessor to Alibris that did the intercepting, and it was on email accounts they offered to the clients. Apparently, that might be covered under some legal agreement. Anyway, the privacy you get these days is nil. If you have a credit card, own a home, rent an apartment, have a drivers liscense, or even a social security number, you've given up your privacy. It's just a matter of time until someone wants to take advantage of that fact.
Slashdot effect is beginning to set in. One problem might be that they are so upbeat about the whole thing, they'll get their faces smashed in. That is what happens to people who are upbeat when they're being interrogated by the mob, and does anyone see any difference between Micro$oft and the Mafia?
If, however, you look and find that it is dead, simply get enough other people to look until one of them sees it alive, then the whole problem is solved. At least, according to this one sci-fi story I read, it is, I think. Or, you could go the Dirk Gently route, instead.
So now ET will get to make money quick? Really, though, this is stupid. No-one's gonna pay money for this, except for the uniqueness factor. The chance of your message reaching something else is practically nil, even assumming there's someone out there. Why waste the money?
Aw, crap. I had first post, but slashdot screwed up my login! My real post: I don't see why they make these computors that have limited upgradability, even if they do look good. It's like the iMac. It runs fast now, but in the long run, it's a bad deal. A better idea is at www.colorcase.com. I especially like the Time Machine!

In April, there was an article (fools joke, but interesting) in a small magazine about an analog CPU. It plugged into a PII slot, and made the computer run faster, more space, etc. Obviously a joke. However, there was another feature. In addition to the AND, OR, NOT, etc. gates, there were MAY BE and SHOULD BE gates. These could correct misspellings in passwords, repair bad data from a damaged sector on your hard drive, etc. This sounds like something this biological computer could do. Nice idea if it works!
That they can't control what ain't theirs. They never did respond to my email challenging their so-called Legal FAQ. Ah, well, they'll be back another day, so keep on working! If this message made no sense, shoot me, or don't, I don't care.
Because we can. That's the motivation for a lot of human accomplishments. They want to go there because it's there. That's why they went to the moon. That's why they climbed Everest. Also, the people who go there first will be famous. Just about everyone knows Armstrong and his "one giant leap...". We can't just sit still. It's not in our nature. Most people are driven to defy entropy in any way they can. Well, that's my philosophical 2 bits for the day.

From what I've heard, this was made mostly by SunSoft, and Myst III is being made by Presto. That gives Cyan plenty of time to work on Mudpie.

Thanks for the mirror! My isp wouldn't let me load the microsoft site. Something about obscene content...

Yeah, but it was built into the structure of the chip, like AND and OR gates.
In April, there was an article (fools joke, but interesting) in a small magazine about an analog CPU. It plugged into a PII slot, and made the computer run faster, more space, etc. Obviously a joke. However, there was another feature. In addition to the AND, OR, NOT, etc. gates, there were MAY BE and SHOULD BE gates.

Try calling their 800 number, if you live in the us, of course.
