--That is *really* interesting, dude... Have you ever read "Dream Park" or "The Barsoom Project" by Larry Niven and Stephen Barnes?
--Whatever happened to that game co? I'd be interested in participating if it was still around, altho funds are sharply limited ATM. (I've never even done SCA - society for creative anachronism - but it sounds like fun.)
--I'll have to agree with you - somewhat - there. My parents had no problems giving us wine and champagne at special occasions / holidays while we were growing up. To this day I am not a drinker, yet not a T-Totaller. I have maybe a glass of wine at special occasions, and have no taste for beer (except for maybe a Bass Ale once every couple of years.) I have never been drunk in my life, and never barfed in a toilet bowl (well, not because of alcohol; there've been a few times when I had the flu.)
--Part of it would seem to depend on the perceived "illicit-ness" of alcohol, and part on the personality of the person involved. Turning 21 meant basically nada to me, while my brother suffers from some serious addictions.
--Obviously you've never dealt with a child that's been abused. True, some of them don't "know" that certain behaviors they've been forced to experience are *bad* until they grow up some / get out of the environment, but many many children being abused know that they're being hurt in some way and don't feel right about it.
--Two words for you to consider: Michael Jackson.
--Another thing for you to consider: Ozzy Osbourne recently admitted to being sexually abused by some kids in his school while growing up.
--Trust me on this, for backup purposes you WILL be better off in the long run if the 2nd drive is a different brand. WD sucks, I will never buy another one - but in your case if the 2nd drive is from the same mf'g batch they will likely fail around the same *time.*
--You sir, are r00t for the day.:) I'm using Linux Opera right now, with 28 windows open simultaneously. And the ones I don't close get opened up again automatically when I restart the browser.
--The Syquest SparQ drive got missed as well. I got suckered into buying one of those... They were 1-gig drives and hosted my first Linux installation. Stupid cartridge design meant the disk would fail in about a month(!!)
--I think the same ppl went on to build the ORB drive; when I found that out, it immediately got mentally flagged as "Stay the hell away from" technology.
--D00d, those MODs rocked. Impulse Tracker (.IT) was the last great format I remember before getting Internet access. I still have a good collection and listen to them occasionally in Linux using mikmod.
--Do you even REALIZE that os.system USES THE SHELL? You don't NEED python for that command... And as someone else pointed out, if/usr isn't mounted yet PYTHON ISN'T EVEN AVAILABLE YET!!!

--I found out that you can't restore Partimage backups to a smaller-sized partition either.
--NOW is the time to backup "all your base", or they will belong to Microsoft on the 16th.
--If Something Crezzy happens to your Win98** installs on the 16th, you can always restore from bkp and set the date back.
