I had hoped for less fancy 3D stuff in it but it does not seem like it. I liked the old Warcraft and the others like them, but I didn't play WC2 a lot. Of course they needed the 3D angle to keep up with the games of today, but some of the gameplay from the old versions due to limitations in the graphic cards.
Some people preffered a few powerful units, but I liked the "tons of cheap cannonfodder" approach.
The original Warcraft was more of a strategy game and the new ones are more like a action game. So will the manage to improve the gameplay in Warcraft 3? The game can have all the fancy graphics in the world but without gameplay, it won't last long.
The question does not contain enough information to form a proper answer.
Don't start with finding the solution, figure out what it is you want, what you want it to do and then find the right tool. We can not tell you which is right with almost no information about the use of it, for what and what is the average user profile etc.
HTTP and FTP can be equally insecure, but it shouldn't be much of a job to properly secure a ftp.
So that "Congestion Charge" is just another tax in real life?
I would guess that noone would take the car with at traffic like that unless they had to.
I know that many power companies are working on this, some tries to use the powergrid directly, others puts down fiber when they dig down cables. In ye olde days, the fibers were only along the big lines and for internal use, but later on they have shown to be a great resource to sell and some have created new transmission companies.
The same goes for railroad companies. There are many different type of engines, one of them is the diesel-electric model where a diesel motor drives a electric generator, which then powers the electic motor that drives the train. This solution makes a lot of "noise" that could knock out a transmission line that is placed along the railroad track. So even though fiber might have been a bit overkill in terms of transmission needs, it fits the bill as a method to avoid signalling problems along the track. These lines a, of course also, a great resource for the railroad company to sell transmissions from and it should be fairly easy to put down new lines.
My local bus stop, where I wait for the bus every morning also has a large LCD screen. On the screen you can see arrival times for every bus tha comes to that stop. Also on the sign, is a small antenna which communicates with the bus. Only only for figuring out where the bus are so it can calulate the time and delays, but also for controls for the traffic lights so the bus will encounter less red lights.
The ones I go to have booking systems so I get reserved seats. So I pick up the tickes an hour or two before, go somewhere to eat and then to the movie.
and I invite everybody to visit the page and enter their email adr. if they don't want go get spam in their email.
btw please fill in those field about stuff you like while you are at it.
no no no, thats:
It's a tool that every home handyman needs!
It's a jigsaw! It's a power drill! It's a wood-turning lathe!
It's an asphalt spreader! It's 67 tools in one!
Which is why I never arrive in time, first there is that half hour of ad's and trailers. I get there just after the movie starts, buys my popcorn etc with no waiting time.
Then 15 min after the movie "started", I sit down in my seat and "enjoy" the last trailers. The places I visit doesn't even turn off the light before the movie starts, they just dim it, so it is no problem for me.
A few of the ones I use. Not in english. Traffic
The above link has a great replay function so you can see when there are heavy traffic and or just not moving at all. So it makes it easier to plan ahead if it is possible.
road work
In the winter months Road temperature
These are always good to check in the office before leaving.
And then there is the webcams from the roads which I guess has no useful purposes for the average websurfer.
Maybe someone could do something about the infamous datacommarketing.com. It is so annoying to get your mail servers spammed by their name guessing server(65.242.117.50).
Now I can't see their homepage because I have blocked their entire subnet in my router:), but I seem to remember their homepage saying that they don't spam. Sorry, but I have got the logs to prove it, and so does many others.
How on earth can a company like that just continue act like they do?
If people want to see more interesting flashing lights, one could go to Project Hessdalen for their fancy monitoring station.
The station consist of one black-and-white CCD-camera, connected to a computer and a video-recorder. The station has also a magnetometer, which is connected to another computer.
Whenever a sudden light shows up in the view of the CCD-camera, an alarmpicture is send on to this web at page last alarms, and the videorecorder is started and run for 15 seconds. The station do also measure changes in the magnetic field, which also is send to the Internet, and it takes a picture, every hour.
when a European-led consortium presented them with images that clearly were none of the aforementioned, they 'clamped up.'"
Don't we all know the feeling, when some moron just keeps on talking and we really want them to shut up or go away. First my responses gets limited to "yes" and "no", then "ah" and "hm", then I just stop reacting on what they are saying all together.
The site speaks the truth!
So the dark side posted it on Slashdot, making sure that no-one would be able to read or view it until they got to the ISP and had the server shut down!
I'm sure of it, now I have to finish this post quickly because there seems to be a brownout in the power here!
Now if only that idiot outside my livingroom window would turn off those bright headlights! hmm wait, I live on the 5th floor..
Now why would you link directly to a FTP server? We all know that a lot of people will begin to download a +600MB ISO file and that no single FTP server would be able to handle the Slashdot crowd. Now I hope that the people here that wants to download FreeBSD has the brain power to check the mirror list first, if they not already has a favorite mirror. Still the proper thing to do, would be to link to the mirror list directly.
Also by using the mirror list, our US friends wouldn't have to download from a server in Denmark, but maybe a local one instead. Oh, well I guess that's just me, but I really think that in the lengthly, time consuming screening process of each article, someone would show a bit of responibility, knowing the effects, posting a article with links have.
Why does the article point to the page in Danish, when there a English version available? http://www.newsbooster.com/?lan=eng. It's just a matter of changing a parameter on the link.
Sometimes it's even worse that that.
Have a tried a couple of times, getting a call from a client that didn't understand that I didn't call back after he left a message on the answer machine.
The problem was that the SMS that tells me that there is a message waiting never reached my phone. It is even worse those times when I am on 24/7 standby. When I have a unanswered call, I just used to check if there was a SMS from the answering service. But since I can't rely on the SMS service I now check the answering machine everytime I have an unanswered call on the phone.
heh.
Well, as far as I can see, the server with the article is located in the US.
Anyway, it would be nice to see someone post a log displaying the slashdotting. I remember someone did it some time ago. Tt would be nice to see it on a popular article.
The counter on the page for this article showed about 48000 hits when I first read it, so I guess we can see something there. Still a breakdown of unique visitors would be nice to see.
Yes, and why not removing the links from the article when it is painfully clear that you are doing a lot of damage to the site?
You could always put them back later
I mean this IS their own code. You could even make a "link bar" with the links so they were easy to remove and re-insert by flipping a bit.
And since there seem to be little/no serving of static pages here, one could easy check for people posting links to the site in a comment also.
I like Slashdot, but I think they should put a little more effort into removing links from sites that clearly can't take the load. Maybe even a simple traceroute on the domains on the articles posted could prevent a lot of this as many ISP's domains often shows when the site are on a fx. DSL line.
Some could argue that if you can't handle the load, you shouldn't be on the internet. But isn't the great thing we all like about the internet, that it's not just for big companies? We see many sites on small private lines, and I think they might be one of the few places left where you can find really interesting stuff that's not just branding of a company name.
My first HD was a 10MB on my pc then I got a 20MB drive.
THEN I got a big 100MB HD full size 5" drive, never managed to fill it up. And of course it had to be partitioned in several volumes since DOS didn't support a 100MB drive. Ah those were the days.

Just make a fancy mouse over animation and another one when you click on it. That gives you about a year to make a real new function.

Not to worry, since you have installed and played the game, we have already the information we need from your computer.
Thank you for your cooperation.
