Seiko had the nifty watch that could act as a pager and you could subscribe to all sorts of nifty alerts like weather a sports and whatnot. A bit before they discontinued the service a document was floating around detailing a way to cheat the service. All you had to do is subscribe to everything, and they would send a message to your watch to tell it to start reciving particular messages.
Then all you had to do is turn off your watch and cancel everything. When you turned your watch on in the next day or two, it would of missed the unsubscribe signal and continue to get everything it thought you were supposed to.
I wonder if they thought of that this time around.
I have the exact same KVM (only you paid too much for it. buy.com is selling it for $20 less).
I am also running a Debian stable box and an XP box and my mouse wheel works fine on both. However I've had debian boxes that were a nightmare to get the wheel working (running unstable however).
I suppose my point is that it *can* work given your setup.
Nope, largest is 32MB (256Mbit). That is the maximum addressable size for the gba. Black-market carts use fancy techniques to trick the gba into addressing a certian portion of the memory at any given time, but no single game could exceede a hard 32MB limit.
Hunh? Are you even aware that the Xbox 'S' controller was made exclusively for the Japan release? After it came out all us americans wanted to get our hands on it (literally).
Now on the other hand, the Xbox itself would qualify as a mid-sized japanese apartment.
My point is, the telco *cares* when your frame relay goes down. For some reason they don't seem to give a rats ass when DSL goes down, and it seems to be more succesptable to doing such.
I'm merly pointing out that the quality of service is just not there yet for DSL, so using it for mission-critical applications seems a bit like a joke.
Re:As if it will matter...

150 Mbit/s DSL.

Did I just hear the words 'mission-critical' and 'DSL' in the same sentence? I have yet to see a DSL line, business or otherwise, that won't go down like a two-dollar whore at a moments notice.
That's what your paying for with a leased line, quality of service. Every time I took the T1 down at work I got a call within a minute or two from the telco wanting to recify the situation.
Yes, I have a palm Vx and a omnisky wireless modem with service from AT&T. Tab completeion works, you just have to send the partial letters and the tab, and not a carrige return. I've repaired mail servers without going indoors using only TGSSH.
Since I'm too lazy to google up a qualify this, take it with a grain of salt.
I read somewhere that the SP was in development before the advance hit the market. So if they had planned on the light beforehand, it would be pretty hard to see the afterburner and 'get inspired.'
That, and Nintendo knew they were juking all of us (myself included, I bought an advance the first week, and an SP the first week. However I love my SP so damn much I never leave home without it).
Well, if you subscribe, *NO* advertisements. Two, there are alot of links because gamespot has ALOT of information. The gamefinder available to complete members is invaluable for finding specific titles according to exact critera. If you know what game you are looking for a simple search should get you right to where you are going.
Yes, but it seems to work with gamespot. Nearly all articles/reviews/previews/news are locked after 7 days. You can always view the last 8 screenshots and the last movie posted.
I pay $20-something a year for the privilige of viewing zillions of movies, and going back to old reviews of games I stumbled upon-- The archives are a valuable service in that respect. Besides giving away brand new conent probally keeps the traffic up to garner more advertising revenue.
You all are paranoid nuts I swear. OK, quick, what other gaming site does CNET own?...Thats right, GAMESPOT. Gamespot is almost the opposite of IGN, where as IGN locks new content in a magic box of money, gamespot gives you the most up-to-date content for free, but charge you to visit the archives. Gamespot complete members ($20? $25? I forget how much I paid, *last year*) get other premium perks like professionally written FAQs.
Getting the idea now? Think: well produced gameguides by professional writers with a paid subscription. User written guides on gamefaqs have ranged from pure gold all the way down to horrid, illiterate drivel. You pick what you want to read.
Maybe they'll even have some sort of payback system for the authors...
I played the absolute snot out of the japanese and american versions. I like the jap version better because it didn't have that one or two word clue before the game started, leaving you completely in the dark.
If you want to talke about gc<->gba connections, go read the detail about Final Fantasy:Crystal Cronicles. After realizing the scope and depth of what they are going to pull off will leave you with soiled pants.
I'll take annoying popups over registering to read some article written by the NYTimes journalists... and that way i dont have to register and get SPAMed!
Which should of read:
My tinfoil hat is so large I can't see the screen well enough to register at NY-EVIL, however, it serves an added benifit of covering up popups at space.com
Yah, I am aware of that, most sites seem to be billing it as such however given that it follows much more closely in style to the original Mario RPG. However, it is of no matter, as they games tend to be isolated in terms relating to each other story-wise (unless you count 'save the princess')
I think its kind of dissapointing that they have a solitary GBA game listed 'Boktai.'
So often people overlook the gameboy when lumping all game platforms together, yet it has a insane selection of excellent titles to be had and coming soon.
Just out of E3 there was Boktai (the one they did get, a crazy light-based vamire game), Mario and Luigi (the sequel to Super Mario RPG), Advance Wars 2 (Just plain brilliant turn-based strategy), Warioware Inc. (Both original and insane minigame frenzy), and more I'm probally forgetting.
Are you for real? The only reason they tell you port 2-4 is because you still need the primary controller to operate the game. All the gameports on the cube are identical, it is just programming that decides what goes where.
Yes, I am aware of the overflow tag, but how can I refresh the contents of that without reloading the entire thing or using nasty javascript?
Then, getting overflows to scroll requires more funky javascript.
You've just now sucessfully locked many more browsers with a large increase in code and load times.
Besides its a real bitch trying to get all those features to work consistently in all modern browsers.
In my area, Comcast just bought out AT&T cable. AT&T was in the habit of refusing to run advertisements for dish systems on the cable channels (you'll still see those ads on the local broadcast channels). Why should they have to advertise their competitors? Adversiting is not a right, its a service. Don't like it? Start your own cable network (where I live in tacoma, they did, Click Network.)
I personally dislike frames and will not use them whenever possible. However frames are necessary when you have several pages with alot of information that need to be on the page at the same time. Sometimes its just not worth it to reload everything whenever someone clicks on a link.
I'm currently developing a diagram system for marine parts and I have a header frame showing where you are, and the available categories. The left frame has the diagram itself which can be quite large. The right half contains the list of parts for that diagram, and has a bottom frame containing your current pick list. Currently there is no possible way to display all this information on a single page using tables that did not require constant scrolling (now, only the image needs scrolling).

Yes you can. If you click 'File' -> 'New' or hit CTRL-n the session cookies carry over, but if you click on the icon to launch IE again it maintains it self seperate from other running instances. (I develop dynamic websites for a living)

"The PS3: 1543.2 games available from day one!" No other console maker could compete with a statement like that.
Except the gameboy.

Login to your server with TGSSH, and then type 'screen'
It will be a world of difference.
Depending on what your doing, it might also help to add a TGSSH termcap entry.

Or if you *read* the article, you would have noticed they intend multiplay to use 4 gameboys exclusively.

sure, but in a pinch you can open a remote file on the server side with most compitent web scripting languages (php/perl/etc...)

newsflash: 802.11 is a protocol not a spectrum.
If it were using the 2.4 Ghz spectrum it could trash 802.11. However, this device can simply hop onto an exising network and play nicely instead.
