  1. s.e.x is filtered out... on Googling Behind China's Great Firewall · · Score: 1

    Probably because they want to keep people from reproducing, and making it even more crowded.

  2. Re:side-loading CD/DVD? on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    Don't worry about it. This is yet again proof that Apple has stolen Alien technology. I mean how else could they get a G5 into such a small footprint. I wonder if Steve got abducted?

  3. Re:How do you install these fonts?? on Accurate ANSI Emulation in Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    You may be able to use font book. (that is if you have 10.3) For more information about managing fonts see the following article: http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/20000.htm l

  4. Ahhh.... Fellow BBSer on Accurate ANSI Emulation in Mac OS X? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Just when I thought I was the only one who checked the boards, I find out there are two. j/k.

    Anyhow, I've encountered the exact same problem, and our friend who posted the fonts on his .Mac site looks like a good bet.

    There are a couple of other things I'd like to bring up. First, I noticed that the backspace doesn't work automatically under the terminal when connecting to telnet sessions. There is a check box in the preferences to change that. Secondly, I write messages in some of the games and apparently the terminal puts in some bogus characters here and there. This may be related to the fonts yet again. However, I thought it was worth mentioning.
    For those of you who scoff at playing some door games on the BBS, I suggest you try Usurper. It is a lot of fun. Here is a link to a page that talks about the game in detail, and has some links to where you can telnet to, and play it.

    P.S. Some BBS installs have a web front end leveraging Java, which work quite well.

  5. IBM just landed a huge contract with Dow Chemical on IBM Adding Almost 19,000 Jobs · · Score: 1

    A lot of those jobs will be leveraged through their new contract with the Dow Chemical Company. see the following: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5294986.html
