Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jun 30, 2003 5:30pm PDTThe start of yet another glorious week. Having a hard time deciding what game to play first when I escape dial-up tomorrow. I spent some time checking out Rise of Nations singleplayer briefly and havent decided if I like it or not yet. The interface and management stuff is pretty nifty, but the combat (even for an RTS) feels a little off to me. (Yes I've played with the options). I bring these as a peace offering:
- New Indiana Jones movie scheduled date - Doing more with less. Shouldnt they always be doing this? - Wacky new laptop - New bill on hacking - Vanishing subLastly, this lady needs to sue for a whole lot more.

Because of its combination of high speed and low altitude, Pluto promised to get through to targets that manned bombers and even ballistic missiles might not be able to reach. What weaponeers call "robustness" was another important advantage. "Pluto was about as durable as a bucket of rocks," says one who worked on the project. It was because of the missile's low complexity and high durability that physicist Ted Merkle, the project's director, called it "the flying crowbar."
Heh, cool. A nuclear scramjet "flying crowbar."

WTF? An inspection takes like 20 minutes, right? My sticker is way past due. I think I've found some shady place that'll do it without an appointment, hehe.

If your office uses a "green bar" line printer, what is the make and model? Also, do you like it? And is it loud (vs normal office noise)? I need one that has an Ethernet interface if at all possible. And one that can use DHCP for configuration. Any suggestions will be appreciated. THX2U!!!

About a year ago, one of you guys whipped up a CS map for me that was completely blue. There was no lighting, no edges, no textures---just a solid field of blue no matter which way you turned. The whole point of the map was so I could capture some footage as a video file, and then blue-screen out the map and replace it with real-life video footage.
Anyway, a year ago I didn't have the equipment that I have now. I'm finally ready to undertake this epic movie-making project, but I lost the damn map! Can one of you whip one up for me? The only requirement is that it is a giant cube. I really need it to be big, so the bullet richochets look like they're far off.
Reply here if you want to do this. Thanks!

I'm looking for online stores but I don't know many and google isn't helping, I need shipping to europe. Best I've found so far is 55€ with 2 day shipping but I'm not sure if its still available.
Any other places I can check out would be very much appreciated :)
Also I've heard that the 15$ for monthly subscription get a tax on top of that, but not a very reliable source so can anyone confirm or deny this ?
