Also, Freenet has made claims that it could (in theory at least) support anonymous browsing, but I haven't heard anything lately, and I missed Clarke's speech at DefCon this year.
Of course, it might be easy for the gov't to see that you're running a Freenet node, so it may not be a good idea in China.
Around 10 years ago, Activision bought rights to the Infocom games. They made a few sequels to the Infocom games with graphics, and IIRC, a better command interface.
I agree with you...
I bought the game when I was a teenager and never got through it.
A few months ago I found an emulated version that works in Windows, and started playing again.
Even WITH online hints/walkthroughs, I still managed to get stuck in the game because I screwed up on some of the "dark place" missions... I got killed by the Bugblatter beast so I was unable to pickup the object there,...
Supposedly if you keep messing with the II drive, you can get back there, but the beast seems to kill you immediately now. Unfortunately I saved the game AFTER I got killed the first time so now I'm totally screwed, and I've given up on finishing. Maybe I'll try again when this new one goes online.
Those newsletters are what made me want to become a computer (game) programmer. Their programmers claimed to be making 6-figure incomes, which was really a fortune in the early 80's.
Sadly, today, most game programmers start under $50k.
Of course, Infocom's programmers were also the game designers and copy writers so they had to be quite talented and literary.
Yes, some crypto people are already saying you should change the whitespace in any pre-generated document you are asked to digitally sign. Changing spelling or punctuation would also protect against collision attacks.
I bought HHTG and Leather Goddesses of Phobos at the same time when I was about 15.
I didn't get very far in HHTG, but in LGoP, I never got out of the apartment!
However, with Starcross, which was also later rated as among their hardest games, I was able to get through the entire game up to the machine to make oxygen without any hints. I couldn't figure out the machine, but that was because I hadn't had Chem yet, and the descriptions of the machine make no sense if you don't know what O2 molecules would look like. Once I got the O2 working, there were only a few steps to finishing the game.
The keywords include 'paper', 'triangle' and 'simple'??
Talk about censorship going out of control.
Triangle Boy is/was a anonymous, encrypted proxy system that had a distributed structure. Anyone could run one, and publish it's IP.
I think you can understand why the Chinese gov't would want to block people from finding it.
I don't know if it still exists, but Google brings up lots of (old) links.
Personally, I use SSH to tunnel to a remove private Squid proxy to get around evil corporate firewalls/filtering. I don't know if SSH would work from within China or not though. It would probably be dreadfully slow though.
When I got my first phone line, I was getting calls almost every morning around 7AM for some business. No calls after 9am. Turns out it had belonged to temp staffing agent, and people would call for a temp when their employees called in sick or whatever.
I finally ended up calling the phone company (Pac Bell, now known as SBC) and requesting another #. They were a little argumentative about it but they did it quickly.
More recently, we were getting faxes in the middle of the night, even though we never had a fax machine. Once again, we got Pac Bell to change the # after a little arguing.
The first time they did it for free as it had belonged to a business before. The second time they wanted $20 but I think I talked them out of it.
We had something like that (30sec - 1min delay doing pdf processing)...
We did exactly what you did, but we also display an animated image which shows an animated progress bar to further help the user realize the server is working on the request.

Yeah, I remember seeing that a couple years ago.

Where are they? I looked at his site but only saw some low-res, z-rotated images.
Some pictures here.
I don't know if they were any good, but they didn't sell well.

There are also lots of sites with Mindterm Java SSH client hosted.
Find a reputable university, and it should be trustworthy.
Mindterm also used to host a free demo but they seem to have pulled or moved it.
groan!

Isn't 33 percent of 0 still the same as 20 percent of 0?
Your point is only valid if OO is more similar to Access than to FileMaker, which has not been stipulated or demonstrated.
If you're saying OO's DB sucks, fine, but it seems like you're going off on an irrelevant tangent.
OK, but how does that relate to OpenOffice?
OpenOffice supposedly has something similar to Access.
So, answer the phone like this:
KFC, Wanna Neck?
or
KFC, would you like to try our breasts & thighs?
seriously, though,

My Nokia 6800 has an option to turn off caller ID sending. (AT&T Wireless, SoCal, GSM)
I know a FED who works in LA; they have their ID set to 213-555-0000
Unfortunately I've noticed some calling-card telcos use the same ID.
Anyone know what the shelf-life would be on these?

American coins are mostly Nickel and Zinc, IIRC, with some copper here and there.
Even modern ones are still non-ferrous.
It is, in the US. It's celebrated on the first Monday in September.
Must've just been a temporary glitch in the matrix.
OT, but raid5 is very slow for writes.
Then they shouldn't have said "Based on a true story"
Isn't your house also private land?
