Yeah, it works. Not as good as the terminal version, though. I can copy&paste part of a game:
wumpus.game: BATS NEARBY! YOU ARE IN ROOM 6 TUNNELS LEAD TO 5 7 15
SHOOT OR MOVE (S-M) Nick: m wumpus.game: WHERE TO Nick: 15 wumpus.game: YOU ARE IN ROOM 15 TUNNELS LEAD TO 6 14 16
SHOOT OR MOVE (S-M) Nick: m wumpus.game: WHERE TO Nick: 16 wumpus.game: YOU ARE IN ROOM 16 TUNNELS LEAD TO 15 17 20
SHOOT OR MOVE (S-M) Nick: m wumpus.game: WHERE TO Nick: 20 wumpus.game: I FEEL A DRAFT YOU ARE IN ROOM 20 TUNNELS LEAD TO 13 16 19
SHOOT OR MOVE (S-M) Nick: m wumpus.game: WHERE TO Nick: 19 wumpus.game: YYYYIIIIEEEE . . . FELL IN PIT HA HA HA - YOU LOSE SAME SETUP (Y-N)
Yeah, it's a nice little game. It lacks the long text discriptions of the bsdgames version, no mention of falling to the center of the earth to see if you stop there.
Yeah, high schools don't understand tech. I worked on the tech crew instead of taking a study hall, mostly we would go fix the stupid things teachers did to their machines, replace keyboards that were spilled on, etc. On the days when nothing broke, we were to fix up these old PIIs to give away. We churned out a couple a week, but mostly we were goofing off with the one pIII in the bunch. There was a decent collection of warez on the windows box (photoshop, 5-10 Gigs of music, games) and a PII linux box we through in the corner to mess around with. This district tech woman with no eyebrows got mad at us for using a non approved Operating System and had the principal take our stuff. Never any complaints about the mysterious copies of word and photoshop. The principal doesn't understand tech, so we try to explain it to her that we are trying to actually LEARN something in SCHOOL, but she didn't like it. We firewalled everything, made another linux box, and that dissapeared one day. The network connection was pulled from our room and we got to sit there doing homework for other classes.
It is possible we gave away a computer containing mouse dropping after that. We didn't put them in there, but we were going to leave it in the corner until someone got up the guts to throw in the dumpster, but some unfortunate soul got it.
In the end, I got a nice IBM Thinkpad out of the class, which should be okay for the first semester of college, so I'm not that mad at them.
We are taking almost no calls
How is that different from any other day? Or does putting someone through the hold maze count as taking a call?

Indeed, the Freespace 2 community is alive and well.
Check the FS wiki For information about FS2_Open, which added some new graphics and such. It's messed up the whole thing for me though, so make sure you know where your install disks are if you try it, and back up your pilots and such. They also have a bunch of user campaigns and such, but I ended up geting the underdogs version of FS2 and they won't run for me.
I place reporter-source privilege on the same level as that of gossip-mongers in my own neighborhood and as much importance on it.
Reporter-Source privilege is fundamental to an effective democracy. The media is another check and balance on the government. Whistleblowers are the unsung heros of our government, keeping an eye on government abuse. If you worked with some government agency and witnessed the torture of 'enemy combatants' and wanted to put a stop to it, would you go to the boss, who probably authorized the torture, to stop it? Failing that, do you put morals aside and do your job, or call in the media to stop them. Obviously you are at some risk if your name is revealed, so you speak without giving your real name. Perhaps the reporter knows, but if the government wants to force the name out of them so they can jail whoever 'comprimised national security' by leaking information, wouldn't you like to remain anonymous?
Anonymous sources can be abused, but they are also needed to protect people from those in power who are abusing it.
Or even a few bible verses with claims that life start at conception...?
"For Thou form my inward parts: Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb.
I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Psalm 139:13-14
"Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Thy book they were all written.
The days that were ordained for me;
When yet there was not one of them."
(Psalm 139:16)
"Did not He who made me in the womb make him?
Did not the same One fashion us before our birth?"
"Though like a Father, God, has reared me from my youth,
guiding me even from my mother's womb."
Neither of the articles mentioned the term "crackrock" anyhwere, or any other drugs that I noticed. It mentions the oddball devlopment teams behind Nintendogs and Wario Ware, such awesomely odd titles, and I'm wondering why you would call them a crackrock. It's possible that hiphop slang has already left me behind, just two months out of high school, but 'crackrock' is probably not a compliment. The question is, then, why does Zonk hate Nintendo? First the "OMGZ Nintendo loses 80% profit NINTENDO IS TEH D00med" and then calling their best dev team a crackrock? What's your beef with Nintendo, Zonk?
There's some old style radio dramas called Imagination Theater (most recent episodes are here, in real media (gag)) the quality is variable, but most of the Sherlock Holmes ones are alright. They broadcast on a lot of stations in the us (station guide), and they have a few cds available for your buying pleasure.
Why not simply buy a decent used turntable from eBay? It isn't as if they are all that expensive.
It's not about the turntable. It's about MAKING the turntable. Doing something productive with something that really isn't useful anymore, that is the theme here. They aren't trying to make a perfect model, it's a homemade project to do something somewhat productive with their time, instead of whining on/. like you and I.
If they are picketing on the sidewalk along a public road, they need no authorization. They can take pictures of your car, your face, etc. Should you restrict access to strong labor political canidates, so that your job is safe from union advocates? You made a choice to cross the picket line, now anyone that wants to can identify you as a scab.
I am sure that given enough time, scientists can plug holes in the theory of evolution and answer questions that critics throw at it
I am sure that given enough time, creation scientists can shoot holes in the theory of evolution and critically ask questions of it.
When you become attached to a theory like that, it becomes a religion. That is NOT science. Despite your "science is self criticizing and self correcting" mentality you are now biased FOR evolution. If a legitimate question was raised, you might say "Evolution did it, now go study." (yes, it's a capital E at that point because it has become a God to you)

Sure, the DS may have TWO screens, one of them being a touch screen, allowing developers to get a bit creative, but it's just a matter of time for the novelty effect to wear off and for people to realize that these features do not actually enhance the gaming experience by much.
Go, right now, and find a store with a DS demo. Play Kirby: Canvas Curse for 10 minutes, and come back here and tell me the the gaming experience hasn't changed by much. That thing is a triumph, an experince that just wouldn't be possible on any other hardware. It's the most innovative, fun thing I've played in years. I've brought it on two road trips, played half hour segments at home, and I'm just about to roll over to 20 hours played, and the "Holy Wow" factor is still there.
The traditional response to a violent riot (not a peacful assembly) was to open fire with BULLETS, or if things weren't too bad, tear gas or low velocity projectiles. Also, peaceful assemblies often turn violent really fast, as some sort of mob mentality takes over, and all it takes is one rock thrown and everyone gets set off.
Crowd control is nothing new. They used Fire Hoses and Dogs on civil rights protestors, even on little kids. The fact that the protestors didn't attack back is what won the day for them in the public eye.
Your rights to assemble haven't gone anywhere, they've never really been there.
What do you expect from a gang of suburban, socially reclusive white kids who probably only see someone who isn't their race at the mall, or the one neighbor that mommy and daddy don't talk to? Do you expect them to believe the propoganda they hear at school about tolerance? That's just about as effective as telling them to abstain. Those that do don't do it because some teacher told them too.
The best use ever of Unobtainium was in The Core. It's MST3K quality, and it's worth gathering you friends together for a DVD showing. The science is bad, the acting is awful, the special effects will make you long for Episode 3, and I love it.
I read the Star Dragon.txt this summer, and I really enjoyed it. Most of the creative commons stuff out there is of, say, lesser quality than the big media stuff, but you obviously put a lot of effort into, and made a quality, full length product. If the world had more people like you, it would be a better place.

where the three (or is it four?) warp whistles are in SMB3
Three, one through the white platform in 1-3, one in the first mini-castle by flying above the door to the boss, and one with the fireball hammer brothers in the overworld in world 2, behind the rock.
I might be a gamer. I always warped around world 5 once I learned how, so I don't remember. Maybe that costs me the gamer cred from remember the whistles without looking it up.
A non gamer would go to gamefaqs or something. Kids these days, no respect. We found the warp zones by trial and error, and we LIKED it that way.
Heaven forbid the company that brought us a gem like Donkey Kong 64 would stop making games for Nintendo. Rare is also responable for classics such as: WWF Wrestlemania Challenge (NES), and Mickey's Racing Adventure (GBC)
That said, Rare has generally made very good games. Jet Force Gemini is one of my favorite N64 games, and Goldeneye is always a classic.

A better penalty would be no internet but AOL for 15 months. Too bad we don't allow cruel and unusual punishments here.
