Personally, I think the whole 'issue' of tracking cookes (and cookies in general) is overhyped. Sure, DoubleClick may have had some shady business practices, and sure, you might be able to track someone via a cookie... but honestly, does anyone actually think someone is sitting at a computer, saying "Ooh, he just visited Slashdot!"?

10Mbps is nothing to sneeze at... congrats, Chris! May your "I hate NTL, it's soo slow" days be at an end.

Nifty idea, Chris!
Great to see Firefox majorly displacing IE.How many days does that statistics table represent?

Here's the new trailer for the DOOM movie: http://media.filmforce.ign.com/media/490/490104/vids_1.html
Watched it a little bit ago... seems (as Michael mentioned) to be a ripoff of "Alien".
Once point really made me go "Uhh, wait a second...", though: at the beginning, the voice-over claims that "the last ten percent of the human genome is sequenced [on Mars]". Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the entire human genome sequenced successfully back around 2001?

Some friends and I visited a museum exhibit yesterday about water (how it's stored, cleaned, pumped, used, etc). It was fairly interesting, but one thing caught my eye: one display claimed, "There is no new water", and further explained that we're stuck with the amount of water we have, so we'd better conserve it.
I pointed this out to a friend and we both thought it was wrong. Why would it be impossible to create new water? You can do it in a chemistry lab, or by blowing up a tank of propane (
). Sure, it might be impractical to create water, but not impossible.Anyone have any more arguments, contradictions, explanations?

Yes, Esteban, it is. But it's recently been announced that the game is going to be delayed for release on into 1st Quarter of 2006... Midway, the publisher has been having financial problems.
Too bad it's being delayed.
It looks like a very interesting game.(Why is it that SSSI has problems choosing good publishers for their games?)
-
Hmmm, maybe you'd like to join the development.
Perhaps sometime down the road, after I've finished up some current projects.

Trespasser - Raptor Attack -- Bill Brown

I think it was MacWrite, because SimpleText debuted later (System 7-ish).

Nope... we lost a crucial member of the team, plus Tim and I can never seem to get online at the same time.
Sorry to hear that.
I hope the game can be finished up - it sounds quite interesting. -
This is what HP does:
- buy cheap things in a big amount
- put them in PC and Laptops
- sell them on 300% what they actually worth and put the HP name on it.
That actually describes a lot of other manufacturers and retailers, too.

No, i don't believe so. I am not sure exactly how it works because i program in a scripting language. The compiler actually does all the good stuff and makes it very simple. I am messing with the new beta version of the program and it has some new and very cool features like TCP and UDP services for creating TCP and UDP connections. Here is how this script works:
FileGetShortName($a)
That is it. That is the command. The variable there is based on the user input but that is basically all it is. Similar to javascript or a vbs script.
Ah, I see.
Care to link to a site for this scripting language? Sounds interesting. -
At least, you understood the code
Which is...? I'd like to see the offical 'solution', if possible, just for fun

When using quick edit, hitting tab takes you to the Show Smilies Pop Up Window link, it is relly annoying
Yep
Almost every time I use the Quick Edit box, I end up scrolling the page (because pressing Space when focused on a link scrolls the page down, at least in FF). -
Ah, ok... *stab in the dark* 1974?

Nice question, Chris
I'm not sure... some time before 1960 I'd assume. -
As for image, the best part was actually how they showed the crash. When the two cars touched each other, the image switched to "daily life"and it's that daily life that is all messed up : a car accident messes up life. There is something create in the choice. What's good about it is that they don't try to hide the force of the shock : you felt as if daily life was crushed as in a car accident. I think that this part is the best part of all.
Exactly. That part was done really, really well in my opinion. It was a very clever way of showing that the cars weren't the only things that crashed and came to a halt, but that the lives of the people involved also 'crashed' in a certain way.
Great clip. -
Woot! Passed 15 rep, thanks to Tim.

I have 4Gb/s, though I know someone here has 6Gb/s....
4Gb/s throughput?!
Are you sure you didn't mean you get 4GB per day as a limit?

Actually, I very rarely have explorer.exe crash on me. The last time I can remember was when I was messing with shell extensions and crashed it myself.

Yeah, plus they are usually impelemented in Java, and are clunky or make the page take forever to load.
