Desert Strike and (it's even better sequel) Jungle Strike were amazingly well designed. I think they were on the Sega and circa 1992 & 1993. The Hard Vacuum game looks like it might have been even better.

Hey can someone write me a script that will draw a bar chart of the frequency by date/month/year of each file's last modification time (in a directory)? Free beer. I promise!

I feel bad for the guy sitting at the campus table in that Silverlight "preview" movie splash image. Poor chap can't figure out Linux, GDocs, etc. What school is that?

sure this will be great for private namespaces and i'm all for trying it ... but if you add one of these alternative NICs to your DNS doesn't that mean they can then hijack mainstream domains?

This article fails to mention the licensing problems that caused issues with MySQL, only that it was "a change in ownership". PostgreSQL has they kind of license you want to go with ... a large part of it's historical and future strength(s)

I've been using Parallels for Mac (last year's version). If you just bump up the video RAM to like 8MB you'll get more options for display sizes. I'll upgrade to version 7 ... just haven't had the time lately.
