Good one.. and on a related note, our local art house/cheap theater is having a midnight showing of Holy Grail. Should be fun, haven't seen it on the big screen in years.
The deodorant suggestion is one we actually thought of. Some of those gamers get pretty funky at our LAN. BTW, we charge $10 a person, and that covers the meeting room rental at the hotel, 4 mb wan connection and anywhere from $100 to $150 worth of prizes we purchase to give away as door prizes, + equipment and cable maintenance. The maximum amount of people we can have is 60, but in the last year with the increase of home broadband, our numbers have dropped to around 45 per lan. About 8 of thouse people don't pay because they are staff that do all the grunt work.
That would have been nice, but at least with the 1.4 app our compasny uses, that is not the case. I deleted the old java runtimes, installed the new one, and reinstalled the app. It no longer did desktop integration using webstart, so no icon for the users. It started slower and then hung.
Reinstalled 1.4 jre, still same problems. Deleted 1.5 jre, and apps are back to normal.
With the "Needless Caps", it sounds like the car is designed and promoted by Zippy the Pinhead... the MYSTERIANS are in here with my CORDUROY SOAP DISH!!
Same card, and paid $70 2 years ago.. Run the Omega drivers and clock it at 275mhz. Get about 9300 of the old style 2001 3dmarks with an XP1700 running at 166mhz bus speed. Gets stuttery on some games, and I have to run Doom3 at 640x480 with all the goodies on.
My son just replaced his 8500le with a 9700pro and he is running an old k7s5a mobo with sdram and an underclocked XP2400. He just get Rome total war yesterday and it runs great at 1024x768 with all the eyecandy on.
Financially, it's a good thing to stay a generation or two behind on graphics cards. With these new cards, 9800 pros will be under $150.
Exactly! That's why I quit playing it several years ago. Someone in an earlier message said something about shooting through walls.. sounds like same old wall hacking is back. That and the steam thing kept me away from it.
Because AOL is trying to hang on to some of their subscriber base that is leaving by offering a low cost ISP. The ISP is called Netscape, and the browser is a nice tie in that they have already paid for.
That's funny.. My Doom3 installed and runs just fine and I run Daemon Tools. Only problem was Doom3 only took about a week to finish. A little short for a $55 program I think.
I am a PACS Admin, and our PACS is based on Solaris. The CT and MR are running Irix, Nuke Med running AIX, CR is Win2k, DR and Fluro are NT4. Not sure what is running on the GE ultrasound machines. Even when the various popular worms were running amok on the PC's in the hospital, nothing on the PACS network was affected. The PACS network is separate from the hospital network and everything is locked down by mac address and switch port.
A lot of hospitals are just starting with PACS, so it would be asy for them to not set up well. Windows boxes could be a real problem if not managed well.
It's the lack of drivers and ease of installing drivers that kills linux.
I spent 5 hours getting the latest ATI driver working after suffering with with slow speed with the mesa drivers while running celestia. After I finally got it going, glgears and fglxgears ran great. Celestia no longer worked, nor did a couple of other 3d apps I tried to run.
I spent hours trying to get alsa to work and gave up, having to settle on OSS with no volume control support.
I just installed real player 10 last night. Doesn't work with firefox, and when I got it to run ran very poorly compaired to real player 8.
Etc.. Etc.
I like learning about the system, but when you follow instuctions to the leter and it still doesn't work like it should, it gets damned frustrating.
Forgot to add that there is a company in Marshaltown called Dynamic Broadband that sells wireless broadband for pretty reasonable rates to rural communities.
I live in Iowa, and most of the small towns have fiber as part of the Iowa communications network. Iowa has a ton of indepenent phone coops who supply internet service.
I live in a small town in Iowa of 1300 people and I have 1Mb x 128k ADSL for $40 month.
I fully expect the lan to be well run considering the high geek factor. I know we have occasional problems at our lan group, but we don't have managed switches. Glad to hear things went well last year. This will be my first QCon.
In a similar light, I was wondering what kind of mayhem will ensue at Quakecon. I'm sure there will be a ton of virus/worm spewing boxes plugged into the byoc lan.
25 years ago I was working on getting my pilots license. I ended up buying a basket case triumph spitfire while I was doing that and all my time and money went into that instead. I had 30 hours when I quit. D'oh!
Anyway, my instructor believed in spin training, so I had a lot of fun with that. I used to go up to about 3000ft agl and do spins in a 152 aerobat. It's been a long time but I think I used to get 3 or f4 rotations before recovery. 152 was so forgiving you could pretty much let go ov the controls and the plane would recover its self.
This is good news! maybe I can get a limited license and start flying again. Fortunately, I have a friend that built a Sonex who takes me up sometimes.http://n36sx.wheelsup.org/ The Sonex meets the spec of the new regs if you use a 4cyl engine and a climb prop. His plane with a 6 cyl and cruise prop climbs 800 to 1000 fpm with 2 200+lb people. Tops out around 170 and cruises at 150.
Our PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System)uses a Qualstar 180 tape jukebox with AIT3 tapes(100gb/tape). In a year we will be upgrading the carousels to hold 360 tapes, and upgrading the drives to AIT4(200gb/tape). We will have around 54tb storage when full due to half AIT3/AIT4 mix when full. This system is storing large medical images. (like 2000x2000x12bit).

Yep.. Enjoying it at my desk right now. Nice to hear Marvin's lamentations again.

Good idea for areas not wired though.
That's exactly what it is. It's an old MIG21. Would not have probably been a current jet even for the Iraqis.
Looks like cedar to me. It will smell good and keep moths (bugs?) away.

Are there that many Repugs?
With the 80hp engine and a climb prop, the Sonex http://www.sonex-ltd.com/specs.html will work.
