Great, I'm almost done mopping up the Japs in my current Civ 3 game, losing at least two hours of sleep due to the "One more turn" syndrome, and Fireaxis is gonna release a new expansion pack.
Oh, so I'm not the only one! I love to play two player gun games with two guns, a waste of money but the Coolness and Woo-ness Factors are more important.
I am a John Woo fan, mostly due to his glorifing of violence, so I must demand the following in his games:
Pidgeons or doves flapping their wings in slow motion during a small interval during a major firefight.
Guns in churches or church-like locations. Firing guns in churches is a plus.
Slow motion. This is NOT bullet time, slow motion violence is the epitomy of movie violence.
Two guns aerial fighting - Matrix ripped this off of the Master Woo, he makes firing guns and leaping seem so easy that even a wimp can do it.
Gun-play, through having AWSOME golden guns, twirling them in mid air or - the coolest of all Woo-isms - the release of the magazine and the reloading while the good guy and bad guy have a breather between more lead exchange.
Silence, five minutes of silence in an action flick is like a cool breeze in the middle of a hot summer's day. Silence and slow motion together create the perfect atmosphere during a fire-fight, add that to a reloading scene and you've got me in tears.
I've yet to see a flick with so much style as John Woo manages to put in his. Glorified Violence, as my girlfriend calls it.:)
Ok, I'm not the email admin here at work, I avoid the whole mail subsystem 'cause I already have enough to do elsewhere.
Anyway, for our 1500 users we use SpamAssassin with RBL and blacklists and our meager server (PIII 1.26GHz with 512Mb RAM) doesn't even reach 0.20, the heuristics is turned down due to the processor usage but it filters about 90% of the spam with very little load.
I, personally, use Popfile (search Sourceforge) as my personal filter - with it's database right now, not that big, just some 8Mb with over 200,000 emails since training (from my huge spam database) and normal usage over the past year for me and a dozen other users. Very easy to set up and use, you just need to train it with a good database. It's stats state that it has a 99.85% correctness rate. The machine has reached.20 running Popfile during a monday morning after a long weekend but the machine is half the other one, a PIII 667Mhz with 256Mb RAM.
I've always wanted to know what it felt like to be slashdotted - getting farked is cool and all but whacked by the slashdot crowd brings a tear to my eye.
I'm behind, a theoretical 4Mbps line to american universities so downloads from my server shouldn't suck that much.
I feel sorry for you subscribers, you may get a peek at stories before they come out yet CmdrTaco wants you guys to do the dirty work of checking dupes, that they ignore obviously, and spelling. Check out Taco's diary, it's from a few months ago when he states his plans for the subscribers.
I'd gladly pay for Slashdot when Slashdot starts being worth paying for.
The only way to stop the dupping is for the admins to READ THE F*CKIN' PAGE!
Jeez, this isn't fun anymore. I think I'll stick to reading The Register - they may be tabloid but they seem to have all the relevant "news for nerds, stuff that matters" articles and don't dup every other article!
I agree, Everything2 has GREAT writeups of geek-culture, a whole lot better than Wikipedia. As a matter of fact I use it as my main source of knowledge after Google.
I dunno, I guess it's the informality of it all and the writeups of stuff like 'Clan Lone Wolf' and other wierd little geek stuff.

I do and will continue to do so, actually I use the daily builds with the spam filter. I really like Mozilla and it's mailer is just great for me - nothing flashy or fancy.
Oh, I run it on a machine with 512Mb RAM so Mozilla doesn't seem like that much of a hog.
My title is "sysadmin" but I'm one of the new network admins around here. I was hired to build up and maintain my empolyer's servers but, since they are the main network servers I have to administer the network.
The two jobs are almost the same, besides - you only need a full time system administrator if you run a server farm full of Win2k (or other MS-Win??) - a good Linux admin (or other *nx) needs only a shell script to download updates for their favorite distribution and deploy them after testing them out on a 'guinea pig'-server.
I spend about 20% of the day updating and revising scripts, 30% taking helpdesk calls, 20% reading Slashdot, Fark and The Register and the final 30% learning new stuff like program in Java, create better firewall rules, learn how to make Mozilla apps (not-so-useful-but-very-neato-stuff).

Speaking of Halo...
Episode 6 of Red vs Blue came out.
Great!
I love Sid Meyer (Civilization and Alpha Centauri) games and love the Age of Empires series, having them rolled into one is great.
Gotta get the demo.

Strongbad has REALLY become this popular, even Slashdot links to it!
Great job guys, I'll even play Half-life again just to frag Homesar ("I was raised by a cup of coffee!") with my parsnip cannon.
This new games section is AWSOME and the moderator is GREAT for posting stuff like this, congrats Slashot!

http://orthanc.univap.br/RedvsBlue - zip files of the AVIs - works just fine in Xine and Mplayer.
If you've got a server online with MySQL and PHP, try Active PHP Bookmarks (google it, but I found it on Sourceforge).
It's a sinch to set up, the interface is nice and simple, it has a few extras that make it quite a nice little tool.

I was even gonna try to post an "I'd Hit It" image to the thread.
Fark's fun in a fun way...
The cast and backstory.

Will Daniela Amavis become the next Natalie Portman?
Actually, the second Leto was Leto II, later known as the Tyrant Leto.
That's way to complicated...

I was saving Peter Jackson's commentary for last - I just finished the cast's!
