Is there a version of jhead for Win32? I'd LOVE to get a utility like that. I did a search in one of my digital camera made pics, and found Eastman Kodak, but nothing else like the info you just showed me. Very handy.
Hey we just might be able to sync the Star Trek timeline with reality. I think around this time in the ST world the Eugenics wars are going on right now.
I'd really like to see how the saw blades work on this car. From the picture, it looks a bit like they were drawn on, and how the heck do they fit under the hood?
And where's the gearshift knob? I don't see it near that beautiful woman's curvy leg... wait, what were we talking about?
I just thought of an idea. Get an old, unrusted white Datsun, paint it white, add some stripes, etc, and sell it as a real-life sized Transformer PROWL! You just know you'd get top bidding from that.
This reminds me of how 800 numbers can quickly trace your # since they are the ones picking up the tab. IIRC, it also is nice enough to display your address to whoever you are calling.
This sounds a wee bit worse. I dunno about you, but I sure as hell don't fill in any real info(whenever possible) to any service, website, or software package.
What's not to stop some bogus company from starting a website, implementing this protocol, and gathering up thousands, if not millions of address to send junk mail and spam to?
Okay, I'll fill out my address

It's funny you mention that. I have 2 examples. I wanted to get some support for my TV card. The vendor site(being devoid of any useful informatinon to me) was really snotty about me contacting them. I had to submit a form giving out my TV card's serial #, etc(like I'm gonna open my case for that), and didn't simply provide me with an email address to write to you. Nice way to brush off loads of emails like that. Your customers will really appreciate that. I submitted the loan application, um, I mean form, and it bounced back anyways. Wow, real top notch tech support there.
In terms of over-flashy websites, I've often seen cases of the opposite. I have a coffee shop review web page, and one shop has their own website. It mainly consists of a 1-sentence blurb about their shop, the address, and of cousre, the URL that I'm already at(how informative!). My review of their shop has much more detail(and probably would attract more customers than their site). To think they paid for the domain name only to have it point to a content-free website. Some webhosting company made a quick buck off of them.
I can take a look at the local newspaper here, and many of the storys are straight from Knight-Ridder or AP. They are just reprinting it for me that I could otherwise sift through on wire.ap.org and read myself. So there's only 5 different reporters that are getting worldwide coverage? Heh.
If you look at most "hax0r" security related 'zines, you will find it's often reprinted news clippings that were already covered on Hackernews for the past 5 months.
The one thing that slashdot adds to the "recycled news" is the ability to comment on it.
When I worked at blockbuster, they played a tape over and over and over again each month with movie previews, music videos, etc. Needless to say the tape and VCR gets worn out.
They should just get a TiVo for each blockbuster with an Ethernet port(no, wait, then it'd need DSL. how about a CD-ROM?) and then each Blockbuster could download the preview loop(maybe even have it go longer than 2 hours so employees wont go out of their minds from the reptition) and play it on the monitors all day.
Well they didn't sell Jaguar or Virtual Boy games either. I had those 2 as well as a TG-16, so needless to say I didn't visit FuncoLand much. There should be a few mom&pop video game trader shops in your area. That's how I got my Vectrex for $100.
There were 1 or 2 TI-994/A emulators released. One was V9T9(which was abandoned, and a pain to use), and like many other emulators, you needed the ROMs from the console to use it properly. There was the usual BS about the licensing and ownership found in other emulators. I thin MESS supports it now. Take a look at vintagegaming.com again. I should look for that disk that had Tunnels of Doom ready to play on it.
And for the record I have owned/own TWO amigas. First the 1000(nice external keyboard), and a 500 sitting in the closet.
Funny you mentioned that. I had both of thosse. Got the TI-994/A in '82, and Texas Instruments left us out in the cold in '83. The Jag? Okay, that was my mistake. I found it funny TI had the nerve to get a bit snottty about the TI-994/A roms being passed around when its emulator debuted.
Heh. That reminds me of the Matrox 3D accelerator card. The box is 5 times larger than the card itself. You are right, it is entirely marketing related. more box space = more advertising space.
Of course, you can always fit in the bigger printed manual with a bigger box instead of a damn PDF file.
As per the original comment, I'm surprised the jewel case was included. Practically all the software I've recieved on CD has NO jewel case, just that flimsy(and not very protective) paper and plastic-window thingy. I gotta steal empty jewel cases from work.
Can't wait til this comes out for laptops. Reminds me several years ago I knew a circle of friends all with type 3 PCMICA drives. They only held 40 megs/disk, but they loved it, exchanging warez and so forth realizing that they would quickly be phased out.
Think about it. You could have this magical software sell BOTH ways. One side would be to filter out porn images, the other side would be to filter out everything BUT the porn images. It's a win-win situation!
I remember registering for classes at the U of Minnesota in '94(whoo! old school!). Heck, I was doing that in lynx.
It didn't make it any easier. I was still looking at huge printouts from dot matrix printers on the wall in one of the buildings. I still had to go to the registrar's office and wait in line to use a 1980-era terminal to HOPEFULLY get the classes I wanted.
Their slogan should of "now make class registration a pain in the ass, ONLINE!". Maybe me getting kicked out of the U for a bad semester was a good thing to me.
The net is killing off lines everywhere? I think Mr. Katz is short for article ideas this month.
Let me tell you, this Internet thing has not made the morning commute on I-494, I-94, or I-35W any friggin easier. There simply is no e-commerce Beowolf cluster solution to solve Minnesota's season of road construction. Nope, no revolution here, so hang up and drive.
Well, outlook express has that RSA junk in it that I'm not gonna use. Wish Network Associates would team up with MS to have it seamlessly integrated. Imaging having your addressbook entries scanned for PGP keys, and if they are there, take the keys in.
Right now PGP freeware is nice(you can even use web-based email), but in order for every jethro to use it, make it seamless.
PGP simply doesnt work so well for communicatoins when your friends arent using it. I try and try my darnedest to get my friends to use PGP when we email back and forth, and only a few have come through.
Now I just want to setup my own proxy server(encrypted, of course) and take things further.

weird. That's the only photo(326)I cant download it. You say the word "clevage" on here and now just one file can be slashdotted! amazing

That cockpit looks a lot more uncomfortable than sitting in, say, a Triumph TR-3.
Of course, the Mach 5 doesn't have a monster steering wheel that rubs against your thighs like a Triumph TR-3 does.
Can't get on the site, but I wonder if Epson MX-80 printers were used. They were nice, but the noisiest pritners ever.
Was it the Diablo series of printers that had their own soundproofing case?
Perhaps slashdot should link obscure acronyms to its definition on everything.slashdot.org. One cannot be expected to know ALL of them.
I'd really like to see how the saw blades work on this car. From the picture, it looks a bit like they were drawn on, and how the heck do they fit under the hood?
And where's the gearshift knob? I don't see it near that beautiful woman's curvy leg... wait, what were we talking about?

it requires* a static ip? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Already been done. Ever heard of a guy called Max Headroom?
You dont like Paul Allen being in it. Is that just because of blind linux zealotry?

the TI-99s and the Atari Jaguars...
Funny you mentioned that. I had both of thosse. Got the TI-994/A in '82, and Texas Instruments left us out in the cold in '83. The Jag? Okay, that was my mistake. I found it funny TI had the nerve to get a bit snottty about the TI-994/A roms being passed around when its emulator debuted.
Trust me, I don't think Adobe is losing any sleep(and surely not any profits) because some linux-only college student cant run any of their products.
