If you play it, remember not to use "!" in the saved game name. On my copy, it exited directly to DOS. I later met one of the beta testers in collge and gave him some grief about it.;)
This is very much akin to the system used in Fable. Strenth feats gain you strength experience, Magic gets you magic experience, the third category, and then there's general experience.
If you want more strength, you pull first from your strength experience, then from general.
Regardless, this FF compilation is going on my wishlist.
Sure, but MLDonkey isn't usable on at least one of those networks: DirectConnect. Some MLDonkey versions report 11 megabyte shares, but don't let users download the file list. It seems the MLDonkey DC core needs some attention.
I had my lawyer send the first
of several letters (nice and polite) on 8 May... After several
additional letters (increasingly less polite) my lawyer and I
were finally contacted by Cisco on June 20. They stated at that
time "We are in the process of determining what code is subject
to the distribution obligation; once we have done so, all such
code will be made available under the terms of the GPL."
a) Your post gets modded up enough to stick in the archives when this story is made read-only (so/. editors can learn) b) This doesn't set a precedent for American programmers of P2P systems
I speak as a bit-contributor to DC++... And I know that Jon Hess, the origial (American) inventor of the Direct Connect network also posts here...;)
I'll do that. I've got the nick GargoyleMT nearly everywhere, including on AIM. (In fact, applying for an AIM account forced me to pick a new nick. It seems that Mazrim was already taken. [Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan]).
:) Well, it's always fun speculating on when you're up to (besides being a student, that much is easy to figure out), and what's happening with NMDC. I've enjoyed seeing your OS X products (I bought myself a G4/533 DA for fun). Actually, it'd be sorta nice to have a real dialog, if such a thing is possible.
Cheers on the Upload Limiting in 1.1 of your OS X client. That's a can of worms in the DC++ "community" (whatever that/actually/ means).
Well, Neo-Modus also makes more (and presumably has more) money than Jacek Sieka, but often making money is orthogonal to the purpose of writing GPLed software. Although almost a cliché, it really is often about providing a fully free version of proprietary software. At least that's a simplistic view of DC++ with relation to NMDC.
(BTW Hi Jon! And should DC++ be worried about your hypothetical question [in a previous post] about a closed source program ripping off a GPLed product?)
Why would a checksum internal to the mp3 prevent tampering? If you just want to know if it's incomplete or not, tools like EncSpot will tell you when a file doesn't end on a mpeg frame boundary...
Oh, and LAME does write a music CRC in its extension of the Xing VBR header. EncSpot will check that too.
As a sidenote, try DC++ as your Direct Connect client instead. It's actively developed open source client, and it's... good.
However, because the source is available, there have been versions of it, modified by others of course, that go against the spirit of peer to peer file sharing. This, among other reasons, has led to some hub administrators banning the use of this client. If that's the case for your favorite hubs, you might consider finding new ones.
I'd say the difference in quality and stability is similar to eDonkey vs eMule.
I see no difference between what you're suggesting and the creation of VBR mp3s/oggs - the bitrate goes up when the encoder thinks the music needs it. And if you seriously mean tacking extra data into the file, MP3+ (MP3Pro?) accomplishes that by sticking some data after each mpeg frame (for mp3 files) to reproduce some audio that gets taken out of mp3s at lower bitrates; supposedly allowing the same quality at lower bitrates.
Methinks that a x86 DLL will not work so well on a PowerPC Darwin/OS X. And if it's Darwin on x86, how's that situtation different from running it under linux?
So you're standing by your original point, with the additional claim that the "negative reporting" about Iraq is a lie?
I'm not going back to basic principles just for this. I have a trust in the media (and a healthy skepticism and a drive to do my own research on the internet), and different media outlets that seem to draw from disparate sources normally all have pretty much the same thing to say about Iraq, so I give credence to it.
Of course he's doing worse than your example of our detention of "enemy combatants" in Cuba. Even if Saddam is not killing people, he can still be rounding up political dissidents for imprisonment (and torture), controlling media reports, etc. Admittedly, I'm not up on enough Iraq to shove a fistful of examples into this comment, but I really don't see that you have a legitimate point. The few examples I have mentioned are widely publicised complaints about the Iraqi regime (but are not exclusive to it, of course).
You mean we the people voted for George W.? Funny, I always thought that it was the electoral college that determined who won the presidency.

You might try stopping by any retailer of Sony PCs (Best Buy, etc). Their LCDs are top notch, and usually at least one Sony there has one on it. They have quite nice viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.

Side note, for ~6 months (?) after it came out, the source code to the client wasn't even published...
A GPG based solution for Win32 would be excellent. Linux already has one, using the GPGME API: cpm.
The hub behind i2hub isn't hosted on the Internet2, and there is a way for non-Internet2 IP ranges to be allowed on, at least, from what I've heard.

I think to a violation having to do with a video codec or something like that?
Perhaps you're thinking of the Xvid vs. Sigma Designs conflict?

The airport slot on my G4/533 Digital Audio is definitely the same connector type as PCMCIA, but it's definitely not PCMCIA compatible.

Shouldn't it technically be:
Doctor Who and the Daleks
Sounds phonetically similar, but this actually makes sense. (Except for the minor part that the Daleks are enemies of Doctor Who.)
I'll do that. I've got the nick GargoyleMT nearly everywhere, including on AIM. (In fact, applying for an AIM account forced me to pick a new nick. It seems that Mazrim was already taken. [Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan]).

Anyway, taking it private.
