I run a Minecraft server with/for a small-ish group of friends and family (~25 people whitelisted). The problem we've faced is that as Mojang adds more features, you have to do a reboot of your map if you want to have access (or easy access, I should say) to them if you're playing in Survival mode. Because of this we've already rebooted once, since we ran one map from ~1.2 beta through the 1.0.0 launch (to get NPC villages, Fortresses+The End, etc), and now are facing a second reboot because of Emeralds being added (and to get a map with jungles not out in the far away/unexplored areas).
Some people wanted to keep working on old projects or at least have access to them, so I found a mod called Multiverse that allowed me to set up portals across worlds. Now our old map is Creative / free build, our current map is Survival, and we have a flat map in Creative for large projects. When 1.3 gets released we'll probably spawn a new map and change the current map to creative (with its own inventory, separate from the new map) and start a new.
You're trying to use the metric of countries = largest civilization. Any extraterrestrial visitors (probably) wouldn't know where China's borders were. My guess is they would go to the areas with the most light emitted at night, which would probably be Western Europe, Eastern Seaboard of the US, or Japan.
OGA/WGA/activation is pointless. It annoys the legit users while the pirates are happily ignoring it.
Exactly. I'm running a legit copy of Sever 2008 R2 and after my latest reinstall (on to a SSD), it wouldn't activate without calling an automated number and following prompts. I tried 3 times to get it to activate through this method but it 'failed' every time. After the 3rd try, I let the automated service send me off to talk with a human rep...except for one problem: the extension the system sent me to was a disconnected number. After having wasted 45 minutes on the "simple and automated" system, I found a WGA crack (or whatever the hell they're calling it now) and have been puttering along for the last several months with no problems at all.
As much as I agree with you about al a carte cable TV, it would kill the over-the-top selection. It is the major/core channels that supplement the costs for all of the specialty channels that get included in the current packages.
That's Opera Mini, not Opera Mobile. While Opera Mini is loads better than the Blackberry Browser (in my usage, at least), it is still horrible compared to browsers available for other phones.
As a Native Nevadan, I'm for Nuclear power 100% (and to throw the statistics off more, I'm in my early twenties and have been backing Obama since before the Nevada caucus, which I attended). There are a lot of misunderstanding about the Yucca Mountain project, but more importantly the citizens of Nevada (on a whole) are not grasping an important concept.
I'm a citizen of Reno, first and foremost. After that, and in a larger sense, I'm a citizen of Nevada. If there is a measure that is good for the state on a whole and Reno does not get benefit from it, I still vote for it. Why? Because it is for the good of my fellow statesmen. After this, I am a citizen of the United States, and if there is a measure that my fellow American citizens will benefit from while Nevada or Reno might not, I back it, again, because it is for the good of my country and my fellow Americans.
The concept of working together for the greater good has been replaced with NIMBY communities and people who are too self-centered to think of anyone but themselves -- i.e. most of the people in my generation and the generation before me, the same people who took advantage of these Liar Loans and are being foreclosed upon now.
The other argument that I bring up to people that I discuss this topic with is that there is a great deal of money to be made for not only the State of Nevada, but also any and all states that have any railroad lines crossing through them that will be used to bring the nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain. The cut and dry of it is this: in exchange for not fighting to keep this project from happening, cut a deal with the federal government, using the old States Rights trick, and charge a fair rate for every cubic meter/yard/whatever that has to be transported to help cover the potential risk of a spill and for the right and privilege to cross through the state. This would give Nevada and the other states quite a bit more funding, bring the waste in to a place that can store it, and put this damn issue to rest already.
I drive a 1990 Acura Legend (being a poor, starving college student and all it is the best I can afford). The way I drive, I jack-rabbit start, speed, etc., etc. burning a lot of extra gas. In the previous 2 1/2 years, I've driven ~15000 miles with an average of 19.7 MPG over that time (never reset the onboard computer after I bought it).
On my last fill up I decided to try an experiment and be much more conscious about my driving habits. I'm down to about half a tank now and am going at 24.2 MPG (as of this morning). That 4.5MPG is huge for me (and most everyone) since it means I can go 3 weeks between fillups instead of only 2 weeks. This is with a healthy mix of highway and street miles (about 3 highway:1 street miles). The only change that I've made the last two days is my top speed: 65, 70, or 75? Mostly it is with the flow of traffic, but every car is different and, with mine being a strong 4 speed automatic v6, it seems to do about the same if not better at 75 than at 65.
Basically it comes down to this in my opinion: after 7 years of driving like a douchebag for no apparent gain, I'm seeing a better way of making due with what I've got and getting significant gains from it. It is a lot cheaper than trying to sell my existing car and getting a more fuel efficient one where I will push off breaking even for a couple of years.
FrangoAssado summed most of the NDS development stuff up. One thing I'd like to point out that if anyone is looking in to NDS development, to check out the Programmer's Arsenal Library, PALib. It it a good framework that takes care of a lot of the low-level stuff and allows you to develop.
There are 300M people in the US. Are you seriously telling me that at least 1 in 600 is on a terrorist watch list? It's more likely than you think. A good friend of mine (that has only ever been in the USA and a short trip to Australia, mind you) has a very Irish name and is on the watch list because it is exactly the same as a revolutionary / terrorist from Northern Ireland.
FTFW: ""How do I minimize page views and deliver content more seamlessly?""
Last time I checked, these 'seamless pages' use AJAX or technologies like it, which make calls to other pages through HTTP or XML requests in order to update what's on the current page. You still have page loads happening behind the scenes.
It is now known as Gemstone IV, and is produced by a company called Simutronics. It's your typical MUD (and one of the most successful ever at that), except it was on AOL, Genie, and Compuserv before they moved to being their own website/independant of these ISPs in the late 90s.
At the time when I got my start I was 9 years old. I still remember finding this when AOL only gave you 20 hours per month, and playing it about 140 hours the first month. You should've heard the lecture I got from my dad about the outrageous bill he received because of that.
I don't see how this is a very general query. I was thinking along the lines of "houses" or "animals". The results that come up are about CD burning software. Most people who would do this search are looking for software to download, not things like reviews of the programs or information about how to write your own. Those are specifics inside of what is already being presented.
I wonder if this exploit is also in Outlook and/or Outlook Express? If so, it'd be very easy for someone to send out spam with what looks like 100% legit, right down to what URL is displayed in the link when hovered and the address bar URL once opened, thanks to this exploit.

Well, I take it that one really enjoys his Gator to handle personal information and CoolWebSearch to find his pr0n. Maybe he thinks Intelimail does a better job of sorting his e-mail and Comet Cursor just looks pretty.
