Question...do messenger service popups, pop over DirectX fullscreen apps? I've never had it happen since I always disable that service right out of the gate.
If it does...yeah, we're going to see some interesting things at the arcade, especially if they're hooked to the net for high-score sharing, or playing vs. people across the internet. Without a firewall.
I mean, I have an arcade cab that I've salvaged, and most cab owners will install Windows because, aside from MAME, most of the better emulators run on Windows only.
Nebula and Kawaks are two for starters that drive me nuts. They add some absolutely AWESOME enhancements to CPS2 and Neo Geo titles, such as transparency, and 4-8 player games in Capcom's vs. Series and KOF, over the internet no less!
I'm trying to get some of my favs working in Wine, and I'm getting there...slowly. Now I have to get it to take command line params, and load it up in a front end I'm happy with. Yay....
Anyway, sorry for the dissertation, it's just amusing that what you do every day is what many of us try to do as a hobby at home. And you hate it.:P
Wonderful....although the idea of a Linux machine at the arcade is kind of interesting, especially given the fact that a few games have started to utilize net connections to share stats.
It's more than a little tempting to find out the local aracade's IP, nmap it, see if the machine shows up, if sshd is up by default, and uh...oh...Trinity, you around?:)
Well, they finally got a sugar free version using sucralose. The fun part was that I had a dream that this stuff existed before they started making it. I had it correct, except I dreamt it in a green bottle instead of a clear one.
So....like I had a nightmare the other night that they were going to make a caffeiene and sugar-free version.
Like the money? Heh, the only reason they keep me around is because they already have me trained, and they can't get anyone else for as little as I work for. Finding an all-unix shop in the midwest that doesn't want some sort of scientific/cluster background with a true multi-user unix environment experience is pretty much non-existant.
Believe me, I'd love to bail, but it's just not in the cards. Been trying for the last 2 years.:(
Really shouldn't talk about yourself like that man! It's not good for the ol' self esteem!
MSCE's seem to have more trainging in the licensing of Windows than anything. The operation of a Windows server seems to be a convaluded excercise in hiding the real functionality from the end user, and using the embrace and extend method of renaming everything.
Grrr.
Seriously man, I get called in to fix problems that MCSE's can't figure out by using *nix based tools.
Mail problem? Bring in Numbski's powerbook, use sendmail to figure it out. Open ports? nmap. Duplicate IP? ifconfig, iftop, nmap, ping, arp.
Granted, some of the tools exist on windows, but all of them. When it comes right down to it, troubleshooting a Windows network almost REQUIRES unix. It's insane really.
I'm starting to wonder if we shouldn't be able to mod an article as flamebait.:\
It's a legit read, no doubt, but...okay, so the govt is going to be keeping an eye on the OS. Cue the arguement of "yay!" and "aw crap, here comes big brother".
Listen. Right now on a daily basis I interact primarily with 3 OS's:
MacOS X 10.3 FreeBSD 5.2.1 Some outdated version of Red Hat Linux (7.2?)
I wouldn't mind just going around loading any one of the above on every workstation I come across, except for the irony that I work for a Micrsoft Certified Solutions Provider. Heck, we just acheived Gold status last week.
I run the ISP, which has very little interaction with the above. Anymore, I get called in only if it's a bonified networking problem (one your MCSE can't solve. Wait, that's all of them, isn't it?) or to clean off viruses/virii (choose your term) and spyware.
I carry a cd around with me at all times. It has Firefox + adblock + flashblock, Thunderbird, Spybot, PuTTY, and Clamwin. With that combination, at times I spend up to 6 hours cleaning up a single workstation, between installing the above apps, cleaning off the yuckies, and running Windows update.
It's enough to make one's nerves crack. Seriously. Pick your most braindead install of Linux. I couldn't tell you which it is these days. Red Hat used to be it. I want sooooooo badly to just wipe each system, install that, Open Office, Firefox, Thunderbird, and Wine anything that doesn't have an OSS equivalent. But I can't, because Uncle Bill (tm) wouldn't approve.
Here's the deal. The house I just bought is POTS. I've long wanted a way to hook a box up between my NID and all the phones in my house, and have that box intercept all calls, and run it through a 'spam' filter if you will. Be able to filter calls by wildcard (block all calls from area code 803, or an exact number, or numbers without caller ID) and give a generic message to the caller, heck even pick up the call and hang up immediately. If it passes the filters, ring the house phones.
I know that this gets off-topic, but it seems to me that this is a step in the right direction (possibly) of accomplishing what I want without having to go buy IP phones for my house.
Okay, so I love Google like the rest of you. They are privately held, seem to actually have a sense of ethics, and tend to do things 'the right way'.
That said, Google is starting to get big. Really big.
As in big enough to throw it's weight around big. I'm not opposed to this, in fact I'd be first in line (or rather as close to the front as I could get) for a Google IPO, but at what point does the whole competition getting squashed thing become a concern?
Erm, I've watched all of 75 minutes total of Enterprise, and from what I've seen online, it's not supposed to be contiguous.
The timeline deviates early in the series (as in the NX-01 was supposed to be destroyed in it's first encounter with the Klingons), and everything from that point forward is an alternate timeline, right down to the Borg, which is the 'fault' of the First Contact movie.
I'll accept the storyline, and try to keep an open mind when I sit down to watch it, but that still doesn't mean it will be good.:\
Anyway, the Bible conflicts with itself in several places. The problem is that in places where the author claims to be the same person living in the same timeline, the fact of that matter is that it's clearly not. Reading the Book of Genesis start to finish should tell you that between the different writing styles, the different accounts of the same event....multiple authors.
That, and we're talking about text that has survived AT LEAST two language translations, and thousands of years (not hundreds) of being handed down.
If you're so daft as not to read the books for the message they attempt to bring, and not for it's literal content, then you've decided not to believe before you even began, which is a waste of both your and His time.
That being said, I'm a geek, I'm a Christian, and I'm proud of it. Any geek worth his salt would have an open mind going into something new to him, otherwise he wouldn't waste his time studying it.
Okay, so it's not EXACTLY the same, but dang, how close can a guy get? Anyway, sounds to me like this would be better 'experimented' as a TV miniseries, as you're going to have to introduce characters, do character development, plot development, and plot resolution all in a single flick. In a miniseries, you'd have more screen time to work with, and wouldn't have to rush through it all.
Oh wait, this is Berman we're talking about. Then again, we'd be bashing him if this were announced as a miniseries talking about how much it's going to suck.:\
My personal feeling is that until they return to the TNG timeline, come up with a believable story plot, and give the Berman team a rest, things aren't going to get better. Perhaps dropping the franchise altogether is the answer, but not so long as the cash flows is that going to happen.
I know! Captain B-4 of the Starship Enterprise-F!:P Always remember to keep a reliable backup of your Data.;)
That's a typo I made earlier today. It's not a trick link. View the source if you want. It redirects to microsoft. Seems incredibly slimy and underhanded too. Just curious if anyone else was aware of this. It's not IE specific. It happened to me in Firebird on a Mac.
Just don't add any more yeast. Let the natural yeast do the work. It takes longer, but it tastes MUCH better, and you don't get a bread-like smell during fermentation.
After you get the process down, you'll probably want to mix-and-match juices. You'll want to add some sour along with sweet, as all the sugar will get eaten by the yeast unless you add a chemical to stop fermentation early. You have to look beyond the sugar to the flavor of the apple/juice that you add to see what it will do. Adding honey makes it partially a cider, partially meade.
On the simplest level, go to the supermarket (you have those, right?), get the freshest apple juice or cider you can get your handles on. A gallon (2-3 litres?) should be plenty to start. Make sure it has no preservatives in it. If it's pasteurized, you'll need to add one more step.
Take it home, airlock it somehow. Airlocks here are cheap, less than $2. If not, duct tape, plastic tubing, and a glass of water will work nicely.
If it was pasteurized, add some yeast. Googling for cider yeast will do fine.
Add the yeast, airlock it, wait a week to 10 days for fermentation to settle. This is your fist 'racking'. Siphon off the top 90%, leave all sedementation behind, into a new, disinfected container. Add something to sweeten it if you like, airlock it again. This is your second racking.
Leave this for a month to 6 months, rack again at some point if you wish. Drink, bottle, keg, whatever. Enjoy.:)

The exact frame.
;)
The interesting part of this is:
1. It uses RPM.
2. NFS? On an arcade machine?
Ooooh, this could get interestin'.
These are the same geniuses that tried to rip off SNK/Playmore by using KOF characters in some casino games.
:)

Someone shoot me.
I just happened to look at the box of the iPod while moving this past weekend. The box says by opening this product you agree to the software license.
So here's my question:
If you're not using the software, can apple make you agree to the software license?
Like the money? Heh, the only reason they keep me around is because they already have me trained, and they can't get anyone else for as little as I work for.

10.2.8
I hate to say this, but I'm almost certain that the README says it's only supported on 10.3 (might be wrong though).
_NSShadowAttributeName sounds like a window or pointer feature that may not have been there is 10.2. Just a hunch.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
