what I haven't been on for months just thought I'd share the excitement

so i managed to crack 200 posts finally! Took long enough! I estimate that I'll be around 300 come January 1st. Hard to say. We'll see how much time I have moving forward. I seriously hope I'm winning this competition.

AJ and I had discussed this a while ago. Not much to be done. Hundreds have been manually deleted. But they pour in. They don't hurt anything so not really a big deal.

They hurt my feelings, I'm a sensitive buttercup

Every time I log in, I see a new higher and higher number for the amount of users on ML. Right now its up to 5.4K. Kind of exciting.
When you open recent users though... there is only 1 real person every 10 days... the rest are just a boat load of bot accounts and scammers. Whats up with that?

Here you go

I'm not sure why we haven't switched to IPv6 sooner, sure its a little more complex in terms of proper notation and subnetting, but its more secure as a whole, and offers much greater scalability.

Because it isn't available. Almost no ISP gives you an IPv6 address. If we had good access to IPv6 for all of our home users we would switch.

We've been using IPv6 on our Pertino network for a while.

I was referring to the collective sense of the word "we" which incorporated ISP's

I'm sorry I didn't show up guys :-/, I was asked to go to a housewarming / birthday party an hour and a half away the day before the meeting. I would've loved to attend but... time with friends... ya know?

Send me a code man :-D, both you and Nic are friends with me (the president)

Wow. But do they offer unlimited, free "pass it on" multiplayer licenses? Steam bundles multiple copies plus the single player version for $5.

Buy it for me and send me the code, I'll find out for you

Scott brought this game up not to long ago. I think normally its what a $20 game? Steam has it on sale for $5
I think $5 is too much, bundle star has it on sale for $1

lol is that journalism? I don't think it is... sounds like a grudge match with a business... doing business and getting mad at them.

Raspberry Pi is great as a thin client for all kinds if things. But the Steam handheld is actually portable gaming. Not a remote view of a full PC rig.

I was trying to make some sort of funky excuse that made sense :-P. But there is some pretty generic gaming available as is for the Pi, N64 games and back run perfectly fine. Or my favorite project I've see the "Pi Boy" highlights what can be done. At a little more beef to the Pi and you may be cookin' with something more substantial, maybe the Galileo from Intel?

Can't you just 3D print a case for a raspberry pi and install steam on that?

Um....

I'm not talking high end holy poo gaming quality, maybe TF2 or return to castle wolfenstein.

Oh you were serious? No they can't at all. raspberry Pi aren't AMD64 architecture. They are Aarm32 Architecture and very slow at that with no GPU. Even if it were physically possible to try running a Steam game on there, which it is not, it would be like trying to play a game on. Pentium III from 1999 without a graphics card!

That's why I thought you were joking. Not even remotely possible.

yee of lil faith. Sure its not the most glorious route, but its a step in the right direction. Assuming you had network access to your own at home computer, you'd be able to do something. As for gaming, you can play some pretty generic games as is, namely the more retro games on the market like Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis, or Megaman X. I don't care much for fancy gaming if their is a good story :-).

Mint vodka. Hmmm. Could be okay. I prefer juniper though

I'm letting it soak for a few days, after its potent enough I'm going to throw it in the freezer and try to get the oil to separate and freeze :-D, thus giving me only peppermint oil.

this vodka in my kitchen is mint flavored

I would take yellow as long as that came with the ability to understand the thought of someone thinking in a different language.

still nope, would only help with your wife, and lets be honest even if you could read her thoughts, its still a game show. Behind thought number 1, 2, or 3, depending on what you say she'll change the answer, GOOD LUCK!!!
