A little off-topic... but worthed to/. readers, a mature Open Source game based on Tolkien's
world: Troubles of Middle-Eearth.
ToME has been improved over several years. It is based on the venerable
Angband
rogue-like game. There's a lot of Angband variants. There's even
a Multiplayer
ToME in development.
ToME is great for being very faithful and compliant to Tolkien's world.
Ok, maybe it's not Middle-Earth
Online, but it's free and honestly, this game is freaking addictive
!:-) Do not forget to set graphics "on"... even if they're not that
good.
There is more than vitamins in multivitamins tablets !! You should not forget Calcium,
Chrome, Copper, Iron, Iode, Magnesium, Manganese, Selenium, Zinc, all of which might be present and not necessarily liposolubles.
Anyway, I'm no expert. And I agree, multivitamins *can* be good, it varies a lot depending on the person and tablet type. Just I wanted to express some important issues with them.
Well, benefits of milk are largely contested. Generaly, only north americans drink milk during their mature life. Montignac's last book (I never read any of his books) discuss the milk myth.
On the multivitamin issue, these are really "dangerous" if taken everyday. This was the result of an study I made many years ago. The reason is simple, multivitamins added to normal meal might give you too much of liposoluble vitamins and makes you sick ! (liposolubles are elements that goes in the body fat and stays and accumulates there, may eventually generate problems...)
I guess the trick is easy, just eat a balanced diet. (but what is balance ?;-)
Hi RalphB -
Same problem here. Your email is not on/., can you reach me on alexandre@leroux.net please, I'd like to know more about your 10.2.8 problems and if you succeeded in repairs. Thanks a lot !:-)
FYI, received this interesting info from OOO's staff:
In my enthusiasm for OpenOffice.org 1.1, I neglected to clarify a point
(see http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/
ReadMsg?msgId=848545&listName=announce ).
OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 is *identical* to the recently released
OpenOffice.org RC5.
Therefore, if you have downloaded RC5, there is no need to download 1.1.
In the mean time, arguably the most important Remote Sensing satellite,
NASA/USGS has announced
last week that Landsat 7 will never get normal data anymore. After
the Shuttle earlier this year... this is not good news for the space
industry.
Somewhat redundant, but yeah,/. moderation *IS* a great tool to separate crap from interesting. It's not perfect of course.
I even believe -most- webboards / mailing lists would benefit from using the Slashcode.org... but again, you need time, software knowledge & hardware to implement a slashcode-slashdot-like solution.
... and big organisations, such as the RSF, have these resources...
... dreaming of the day metamoderations will be used in more places...:-)
ALI is costly.
ASTER has a very limited coverage.
Landsat 5's quality is far behind Landsat 7 ETM.
A lot of L7 data is free (thanks to UMD). Coverage is worldwide. And L7 is definitly the most used RS/OE data type. That's why I claim consequences are not anodine.:-)

Middle-Earth is an open source multiplayer online game based on Tolkien's work. Ok, no
great graphics, but the game is quite fun and complete.

Nope, no native OSX port soon. See

Discussing Space programs, Jonathan's Space Report is a valuable source of info.

Better than any book I know, and won't be outdated

This was posted yesterday: again rumors for Apple//AMD.
Linked to The Register article.
Yes, Apple is suppose to allow iTunes sharing using the Rendez-vous technology eventually.
Then iCommune will soon be obsolete ! (and this topic should not have appeared on /.)
Well, actually, that makes 99,47916 % of the world... ;-)
Which also means 95,387877 % of the world's population.
check this and this
Sure, there'll be a new iApp or two
Yup, expect iMusic or something like this, since Apple bought eMagic this summer :-) :-)
Is there any reason why www.xns.org isn't discussed ?
:-)
I feel it could also be a notable Passport competitor, no ?
