That was a fun game, I'd completely forgotten about that. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. I prefered Gorillas though, there was just something very satisfying about throwing exploding bananas around.
The next week should be interesting. Seeing as how I live in Fountain, it's a quick hop over to Delve for shooting. GBC stopped coming to play a month ago, and it's gotten boring. I'm hoping that BoB will give us some fights in NOL, because the pets sure as hell won't.
I lose power several times a year. The most recent outage was 3 days ago on Sunday. High wind speeds combined with way too many trees make for frequent power failures.
Apple is acting just like the Microsoft of 10 years ago. Arrogant as fuck, and refuses to publicly acknowledge security problems until they have a patch out. It took Microsoft 3-4 years to finally begin changing that, lets see how long it takes Apple.
You can finally emerge -C www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin. You can then emerge www-client/mozilla-firefox with -O5 -funroll-loops, and it'll be so much faster./obligatory Gentoo poast
(And yes, I'll be unmerging -bin if this works. I just hope the 64-bit version of flash isn't as flaky as the 32-bit version)
It's been years since I did Guild Wars gvg, but at the time, the skill balancing was required, and good. I was happy to have someone keeping an eye on the meta to ensure things didn't get too out of balance. For instance, as much as I liked the old Orders Ranger Spike (Dual Shot, Quick/Punishing Shot, Savage Shot/Distracting Shot + Order of Pain + Order of Vampire), it was badly overpowered. Getting that toned down was a good thing. Minions were crazy when you could have 40 of them at a time, but fun. It made for pretty poor balance in gvg though, and when they were paying out $10k to the winners of the tournament, balance is required.
Czechvar is what I've seen it sold as here in Seattle. And I didn't think it was very good. Just about any of the beer that comes out of the breweries here is better imo.
Ethernet networks are rarely unsecure. You cant just plug into the port and get instant access to all the servers, etc.
You can plug into an Ethernet LAN, set yourself into promiscuous mode, and see all the data - such as passwords - that goes back and forth along the network. An Ethernet network is not secure.
Only if the network was designed by a complete idiot, or someone who just doesn't care about security.
There are still too many annoying UI changes in FF3 that make it so I won't downgrade to it from FF2. I sacrificed one machine to FF3, and after finding out that I really didn't like it, I'm not removing FF2 until I read a Changelog that reverts the most annoying.
Quake 2 had fantastic co-op, but some of the most fun I've had in co-op was Serious Sam: The Second Encounter. All the Serious Sam games were great, but that one was the best for co-op in my opinion.
The Sniper/Engineer were fairly enjoyable in the beta, playing like a fps. The other classes were near impossible for me to control properly though, as mouse look didn't work well for me.
The biggest issue they had was setting a release date in stone, and then spending so much money hyping it (release on Oct 31st, aka Halloween) that they had to release it, bugs and all. I was in the open beta for the month prior to release, and no matter how many bug notices we submitted, they didn't get fixed before release. They really needed to put the release on hold for 6 months, but their marketing department wouldn't let them (or partner deals, etc).

All the low UIDs died off. There are maybe a dozen or two under 1000 that are actually active anymore.
Yes, we noticed that 10 years ago.

Seeing the category definitely made me smile. Now just give me a laptop, and let me hack my own code.
It'll only auto-login if you let it. There is a reason that anyone with half a clue disables that.
Why not just "man foo", and then hit / to search?
C:\> wget http://example.com/blah.iso
C:\> dvdburn blah.iso
C:\>
(Look at the Windows Resource Kit sometime)
That's why I've taken to using --version. Most tools these days handle the long-options, and those that don't generally freak out at the double dash.
I had a box with an old Creative DXR card, which did hardware MPEG2 acceleration. It was enough to make DVDs watchable on a K6-200.

I've no clue how things look these days though.

Don't worry, someone with a properly low uid will come along eventually. 5 digits just doesn't cut it anymore.

That is pretty good. Nicely done.
Or play a game that only has one world, like Eve or Guild Wars.

Maybe 50k or so, but anyone over that came to the game late. Or just never cared to register until they had something semi-meaningful to post.

Things like a properly constructed white-list for Noscript, not allowing Java by default, etc. will all protect you from this.
It's a shame that security tools that can help mitigate some of these attacks are difficult to understand and use for many users.
