Use the print article link instead. That just loaded up for me after several attempts. The images are still linked to the main server so it'll take awhile.
That only returns 4 different sounding names for X. Need more X names so they ca be rotated ever 6 years, and if a few of those storm names get retired, we'll be screwed. My point was you need to use popular letters for a reason with current naming scheme.
I'd have to disagree. I think video games are a great place for physical activity, but it's rarely done because it usually requires an expensive controller or standalone game.
I was at Dave & Busters a few years ago, and they had this shooting game, where you stood up with a light gun, and do reload/duck, you had to actually duck yourself. Let me tell you after playing that game for 20-30 minutes, that was that best quad worked out I've ever had. My legs were jello for the next 2 days. I've yet to get that kind of workout from a leg lift machine, squats, etc.
There also was this boxing game on the other side that had a similar concept, but didn't play because I blew all my money on the previous game.:) You actually had to duck and throw punches.
I'm sure there's many more ideas that people can come up with, I'd love to see new games like these. Most people are out of shape as it is, putting physical activity with video games would be a great way to get people in shape, and have fun doing it.
Slackware was my first distro as well. I ordered the slackware '96 cd set from cdrom.com way back when. It took memforever to get my video card (stb lightspeed 128?) to work under x.
It came with kernel 2.0.0 I believe, not quite as old as yours.:)
After that I tried RedHat for awhile, which I was kind of happy with, but it was a pain to upgrade. Then RedHat wanted money from me for upgrades, so then my cheap ass switched to debian which solved my upgrade problems and my cheap problem, and allows me to be on the cutting edge with unstable/sid. Some packages are a bit slow to upgrade, but I don't mind manually installing a few things myself.
The only other console I've bothered buying was the Dreamcast, and that was because I got bored one day. I never did find a good stick I liked for that console that could do it all, although there were a few that came close.
All they need is a disclaimer on their site: If you live in the UK, don't use gmail, thanks.
Which brings up an interesting point. Google is a US based company so it seems it should only need to adhere to US based laws. So what happens when someone living in the UK, pays for an AD? Is Google now considered to be doing business in UK? I think not, unless it has web servers located in the UK.
It seems to me if the UK is unhappy about a foreign business on the internet that its residents are accessing, then it should be up to that country to block them, ala the great firewall of China.
Do you have acid on your fingers? I've had this keyboard for over 3 years and not a single key looks worn. I have some Logitech usb internet keyboard or something. I work 8 hours day plus play on it. I've had another keyboard for over 10 years that I've used for probably 5 years, only one key looks worn and that's because I took a pocket knife trying to scratch the lettering off of one key, intending to do the whole keyboard, but it was too much of a pain in the ass, (it took forever, scratched the hell out of the key and looked like crap) so I only did one key.
I just tried adding that rule. I logged into an external machine, and then tried sshing to my machine more than 3 times, and then telnetting to my machine more than 3 times, and it kept letting me in.
And that reason, is why I like to see stuff that's rated R at the 10pm showing. Even PG-13 movies are iffy, if I do see a PG-13 movie, I try to make sure the movie's been out awhile, and always try to shoot for the late night showing, or weekend matinee on a sunny day.
Oh mae-east, how I hated you. I do remember rebooting to DOS for most games. Such as dungeon keeper, grand theft auto (original ruled, nothing like running over a school of ducks with a stolen firetruck), quake, etc. But I remember my quakeworld experience being much better (had client prediction, 3d accel), of course, I had a pure3d card by then, so that's probably where the performance boost was, plus I was probably running osr2 or win9b or c whatever by then.
When I write a script to delete all files in a directory I always specify the exact location of the file like this:
rm -f/home/user/directory/*
That way if the directory doesn't exist or for some other unknown reason the cd command fails, then nothing gets deleted. Knowing '--' exists as well is also helpful, thanks.
I have a nice DIGITAL keyboard without the windows buttons, but I personally like the action of my logitech keyboard (with the windows key pryed off) better.
I've seen that keyboard before, it would be kind of nice since I work in the dark sometimes. But what's up with the weird key placement? I couldn't use it for that reason alone.
This is a repost from a previous article about printers, but I think it applies here as well, and it basically says what I would say in a fresh reply anyway.:)
I'm very happy with my Canon PIXMA iP3000. It's got everything a comsumer would want. Separate print heads and separate refillable cartidges (for each color) that are translucent so you can actually see how much ink is left. It does duplex printing with no extra gear, does borderless photos like a dream, and even comes with nice software to print them out. And to top it off it was only $65 with a $20 mail in rebate, can't beat that. My HP Officejet D135 would have taken way more than that just to fix. It needs a new magenta printhead and all new ink (was out on both color and b&w).
My Canon even seems stingy on using ink. My HP burned through color carts like no tomorrow even though I wasn't even printing anything in color. They're like $35 a pop or something stupid, and you can't buy separate colors. My canon has printed over 150 pages with quite a bit of color on it, and the ink level didn't even seem to flinch.
I've had similar delightful experiences with my Canon digital elph camera. I love that company.
Not a bad idea, but if you feel this strongly, why didn't you bid on it and then donate it? And the other question, would the Smithsonian even display it anywhere? They have warehouses full of junk that never even gets seen.

You try thinking up names for q, u, x, y and z. The names are reused every 6 years, retiring significant storm names.

Agreed, the NES Advantage made Nintendo fun!

Yup, it is amazing what all Google's technology can achieve.

Just a thought...

no probs here either. I only have show failed url and reloadevery extentions loaded.

Which brings me to another thought. The graphics in GTA were top notch! |rolleyes|

The code to Ikari Warriors is ABBA, isn't it? Free endless guys as long as your friend is still alive. Or am I mixing games up?

Sure, it may be 2gb down, but it'll still only be 384 KiB upstream.
I agree it's annoying, even using a pre-emptive kernel doesn't seem to help much anymore, although I swear it used to.

look here for mplayer, acroread, etc
