Breakfast.

I was actually introduced to the egg-in-a-hole sandwich in my home-econ class in middle school. I've not made or seen in again in about 20 years. I'm wondering what's causing the reddit awareness.

Indeed. As an 11 year old child, I believed that he had accidently committed suicide, and that that was why the show couldn't go on. I didn't realize that the blasted Nelson families were out to get every sci-fi program that I enjoyed from that point forward (and probably a few from before then, too.)

I was under the impression that Hexum's accidental suicide was the reason why Voyagers! was canceled, rather than a ratings issue.

It made me extremely depressed. I think it's because they did too good of a job of building the associated mood.

Of course, the only way to win is not to play.

Yes. The Pando-retcon is coming. It will give Moffat an opportunity to remove the bits of the reboot that don't allow him to tap the rest of the Doctor Who mythos.

The wibbly-wabbly, timey-whimey stuff is bothering me here. If the angels on the ship were unwritten, shouldn't any of the clerics that were killed by the angels be alive again (including the Bishop)?

nnunley

... I'll explain later.

I believe that that Tarn is currently working on merging the fixes from 40d into the 31.03 branch, based on the 4/27 post on his blog. So I'm guessing no speedups until the next release.

I don't think it works that way. Firmware is usually loaded to some sort of programmable memory on the main board of the system.

Strong case against the firmware actually being a boot program on the hard drive is the fact that you can upgrade the PS3 hard drive without using external tools.

Used to mean "The tip of a sword." It would be interesting to figure out how it morphed to mean "unusual" in English.

I had some luck with with Shrew VPN for 64 bit support. It's been mixed bag though. Not everyone at my company has been able to get it to work.

As a fellow Pittsburgh resident, I can confirm that it is known as "hookers and blow" here. Then again, It's been hookers and blow everywhere else I've lived.

Looks like the server has been brought down by increased traffic.

nnunley

I remember playing that, too. I thought it was pretty cool. Especially since it had an "outside world" to wander through:

I was a bit more of a fan of Automan. Came out at about the same time, if I recall correctly.

nnunley

Definitely spam.

The issue is that some games mark their saves as being non-transferable. This means that when you attempt to restore your backup to a new machine, it will just choose to omit that portion of the restore. I had the same issue occur for me restoring to a replacement 60 gb ps3 after my old one failed.

If the content that's missing is downloadable content from the PSN, then you may have to contact Sony if you find that you can't restore your content via downloads. I had to do that to get back my SingStar content.

It will be a long long time before he gets away with that.

You probably want to keep the survival guide at your desk, just in case of a new outbreak. It's much more practical then trying to leaf through the oral history trying to find out what the experts did.

Sounds like the whole Eternal November issue. Folks did initially get pumped into the Usenet from AOL and Compuserve. And left it once the first web browsers came online to serve them pictures with everything.

I do really miss the days when alt.* was useful, and wasn't drowned in spam.

nnunley

What's a tape?

I have this problem today -- libao in cygwin 1.7 still has has the debug flag enabled, leading to lots of extra messages.

nnunley

If you can create a native client build for it, then you can use it as a webapp that runs locally.

nnunley

My guess is that the original convention/behavior came from the combination of the heavy keyboard action of the terminals of the day, and the lack of typing skills. That and it saves ink if you're forced to use a teletype console.

EDIT: The rest of us are just lazy bastards who don't want to type more than they must.

nnunley

I actually liked Diaspora more. It's in the same vein, only more-so.
