The Legend of the Green Dragon (main server) is a quite good web-based clone of the Legend of the Red Dragon. The GPL'd PHP code is available from Sourceforge, and if you feel creative enough most of the game interface and storyline can be customized; e.g., Trystell Adventurer is a heavily customized fork of LotGD.
Of course, it's still not an FPS...but it's a great way to waste 30 minutes...an hour...a day...either playing or coding....
How coincidental. I'm right now downloading dependencies so I can try to build Wine on Cygwin.
I'm planning to X-forward Wine to my Mac OS X laptop. I anticipate that should be faster than Bochs+Wine.
They most likely installed software that masks the actual server name or configured their server to report Apache on Linux in the host field. SCO Unix and Linux both have known exploits, but using a Linux exploit on a SCO Unix machine won't be very successful.
I actually saw a company that sells software for IIS that does this. Funny that they themselves admit that Apache is more secure than IIS....
However, it's a bit obvious what the server software should be if it's called www.sco.com...
Then find me a perfect government, or a way to ensure safety in a lack of government that isn't a government itself.
By the way, the perfect government can't involve humans, because humans aren't perfect; they tend to look for themselves more than for others.
And it can't include anything made by humans, including robots or even general rules, because they would have imperfections from their human origin.
Maybe you'd like to die? You'd see either a perfect government by virtue of God's non-human-ness, or a perfect lack of government thanks to not existing anymore.
Show me a programming language in which you can't write bugs and I then will show you a perfect government.
Paranoid sysadm^Wschool administrators won't let cellphones on campus, even turned off. No teacher would allow a cellphone on during a test and a student pressing buttons on it...you could be SMSing someone. And I don't bring my cellphone with me everywhere. Technically cellphones have clocks, too, but would you then say don't wear a watch at all?
So sorry about that. I know some people who don't like this evil "Congress" gang and want to get rid of them. Of course, they live without roads, public education, choice of their own government, ability to say anything without it all being caught on tape, right not to be guillotined at a dictator's will, protection from bandits and murderers, etc. I also know some people who don't like the current gangsters in "Congress", and have realized that they're able to change the members.
Go back to school and learn some civics. Governments cost money to run. They can only get the money from their people: this way there is an incentive to protect the people. If the government were run completely as a free-enterprise business, it would only want to protect itself, and would have no function. The goverment is the expression of the social contract. If you can't guarantee yourself that nobody you meet will steal your stuff, if you can't be sure you are the strongest person you will ever meet, it is in your interest to have a government.
It is unreasonable to expect a government to be perfect. It is quite reasonable to expect a government system to be better than an anarchic, every-man-for-himself system. Before you start criticizing the goverment. you must promise me two things: that you voted in every election you could, and that you have a better plan than the current one.
Look on the street and find me a criminal - someone who can be proven to be a criminal, not just by your opinion. Now look in the jail you paid to keep yourself out of, and answer the same thing. Who's responsible for managing this disparity? How much do you think it costs to maintain it? Where does this money come from? Remember the money you put in that white envelope...?
Finally: if you're hoping that SCO loses in court, remember that your tax dollars fund the court system. Sure, SCO couldn't threaten suits without a court system, but then they'd just hire hitmen to go to your houses and kill you and sell your family into slavery.
Hey. Don't insult the calculator watch. It may be geeky, but it's quite useful.
It's a lifesaver when you forget to put your "real" calculator in your booksack and suddenly realize there's a math test today. It's convenient when you're standing in line at a fast-food place so you can calculate tax and have exact change ready before you even give the order. Et cetera.

You don't have to destroy your printer, hard drive, etc. until you're done using them. Most of the time they'll destroy themselves anyway.
A. Turn off the display, then. Should be simple enough on most laptops; mine is set to turn off after two minutes of no keyboard or mouse.
B. Find a passenger to monitor the computer from the back or find a driver as you sit in the back.
C. Theoretically, write a script to search for access points as the laptop is kept running in the back seat. Have it log access points for you, or sound an alert so you can park at the nearest possible place.
D. If you're in a government organization, shouldn't you get some exemption?
By refusing connections or refusing to send e-mail unless they do. Kind of like how SMTP servers "make" the senders do a HELO before sending the message.
Like:
... 250 Hello spammer.example.com, calculate 250 1+2+3+4 MAIL FROM:<user@example.com> 503 You didn't answer my question, go away
although the computation would be a lot harder than just 1+2+3+4.
Disclaimer: I have no idea how the system works in practice. This is just a possible way.
Modify the Ambient Orb so that the Internet access doesn't change the light, but triggers a robot to plug in your PC (and flick the power switch, or make turn-on automatic after plug-in somehow). Make a startup script that connects PPPoE.

This is great news, especially considering the not-so-great things that have happened in space recently.
I tried to connect to NASA TV's RealPlayer stream; it was down. Is there a better way to connect, or was that just out from load?
Is the Spirit in range of the Beagle, so it could search for the lost craft?
