Good times indeed... I remember being amazed by the 3d fill on delux paint 3 - and the ability to cycle through colours - it was flabbergastingly cool.
Shut up, eurotrash - everyone knows that meters are the same as your stupid 'kilo'meters and 'centi'meters, which are all roughly equal to a mile. I mean, seriously, who cares about some outdated inaccurate measurement system involving powers of ten? Give me my firkins, leagues, fathoms, pinches, pecks and hogsheads any day! Nice and simple!
Far more interestingly, this means that the sea has a volume of at least 3.67773589 × 10^15 pecks!
Where I work, we've taken the step, as we have *many* identical boxes, of keeping a default system image ghosted and backed up on our *linux* server, because that's the only moderately safe place on the network. We end up rolling out a ghosted image at leas twice a week - our jobs would be hell without it.
You'll actually see what has happened here - over the course of some 4 years, the guy who owned game.co.uk (and had done so since 1995) was in correspondence with GAME, who approached him wishing to buy the domain. He then kept on agreeing on a sale price, and then upping his price, until he started demanind in excess of £1,000,000 for the domain, and then came up with some spiel about GAME being in competition with a fictitious company for the domain. He should have accepted their offer of £1,000,000 and ran - his perjury has cost him all.
On the note of headaches from phone - i've noticed I get them from both land and mobile lines - and you know why? Because I end up straining my eyes. Not sure how, just strange sort of squinting lack of middle distance focussing... think about it the next time you're on the phone. more people do it than you'd think.
This, in spite of the clear pecuniary advantages, would never take off in the UK. The reason? Joe Bloggs - the degree of NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) syndrome in this country is phenomenal - people object to mobile phone masts 2 miles away, because they're putting out evil rays which make you die - they put wireless companies under more and more pressure until they're forced by court writ to remove the mast, and, guess what, people complain that their phones don't work any more. Fucking idiots.
Also, what's the betting that this chucks out a *lot* more hairy-scary radiation than a mobile phone (cellphone) mast?
Yes, but the US still should not be held responsible for this - it is not America's fault that their emissions are so high - it's because all of the jet aeroplanes flying from China to India go through US airspace. Also, it's due largely to sabotage by the British - they have been secretly coming to America for hundreds of years, and the population is now massive, so of course they create more CO2.
So, the real solution should not be for America to join the Kyoto protocol, it should be for the US to start shooting down those pesky indo-chinese planes, and to force mass emmigration of all those british, danish, irish, and spanish descended CO2 producing bastards. Only the real Americans will be left, and then everything'll be just peachy.
Kim Jong-Il has always been dead. We have always been at war with EastAsia....
In all seriousness, it doesn't matter if KJI is dead or not - the North Korean regime is here to stay - no amount of military force will change that - it is *far* too deeply ingrained in the majority of the populace there. Having visited NK some years ago on a tourist visa (which is like gold dust) I was, I must confess, rather surprised by what I found. Generally, in urban areas, the quality of life was good - party members lived comfortably, others less comfortably, but a lot better than much of what you'll see in the western world. We weren't allowed into the countryside, however, so.....
Short of a popular revolution, which isn't going to happen, nothing will change the situation there. It's perfectly possible that they have a nuclear capability, but they aren't quite the mad-cap nation the western media seems to wish to portray them as.
The degree of control held over the populace by the state there is astounding - it would be extraordinarily hard for anyone to organise any kind of dissent - the vast majority are party supporters, and the last thing you want to do is criticise the government in front of someone who can make you disappear.
Juche is their way of life. They have no real wish to expand, they just want to be left alone. For now, at any rate.
We could not calculate driving directions between miami and anchorage. We currently only support road-based driving directions.

You mean I didn't need that 8" thick diamond cable I bought for my digital optical transmissions? You can hear the diamonds! Hear them, I tell you!!!
Fuckit. Oh well. Too damn tired to hit the AC button. It's snowing, yay!
Get back to work, and stop reading Slashdot! Bob
Really? Which office? I worked for TT in Evanston briefly about 6 years ago.
It isn't owned by one guy. Gary Kemp sold his majority share to Harris. I'm a major stockholder as well.
I work for TT's competition - we're doing 60 hour weeks minimum. It's standard in the sector.

Or you run the two projecters off two separate boxes, off two separate flight sims, and have one virtual plane fly slightly to one side of the other.

when people started blaming bartenders for drunk driving accidents and they weren't laughed out of town.
Damn, knew I'd pressed it a few times too many on getfirefox.com

It's rather annoying really... the number of times I get asked 'is that because there were already 41 other MAdaXes?'.
Jesus wept - you actually think the shortest route from china to india is via the US? Last time I checked, some might call that tha long way round.
I knew america knows 'theworld(tm)' as something off the coast of florida, near 'errp', but seriously, learn some geography.
It was a joke. Laugh.

Or, for that matter, map24. Think they've got the most impressive interface i've seen yet.
Colt developed the first production line model, for making their famous 6 shooters, 30 years before Ford applied the model to car manufacture.
STFU, at least they're not in particles, like me. Think I actually made a wrong career move back there somewhere.
