In terms of firewalls, it depends on how much time you're willing to spend. Tiny Personal Firewall (free, I think, try tucows.com) is the TOPS, but shows best results if manually configured, which can take a couple of days of getting popup alerts and creating rules. Sygate (not free unless you cheat) is IMO also a great choice, and is more user-friendly. I personally run both, but only because I was deeply involved in Direct Connect P2P program (running a hub), and there are a lot of people on there who like to play around taking other people's hubs down. I can honestly say that I feel secure being online 24/7 with that combo.
As for antivirus, AVG is pretty good, and I can recommend Panda. Norton AV is not as bad as some people think, but the Norton Firewall/Internet Security suite is a definite no. I also don't like Norton cos it sticks shitloads of Symantec crap all over your PC without asking you, and I REALLY hate that.
The Fish-slapping dance is excellent
Magna: I totally agree with you. The series may have been worth the points for novelty value when it first appeared. But Poetic Meal was SHIT. And I don't see why a squirrel popping its head up and speaking in a squeaky voice deserves the points it gets. If anybody else produced movies like that, they'd be on 3.3 - 3.7, ie, nothing special. There's no way it deserves the ratings it gets, there are a lot more pointworthy submissions lower down the rankings than this series. Let's hope that eventually people will see sense and stop voting 4 or 5 automatically when an IllWillPress release appears on the portal...
Chasing down the latest version of Simgirl, I stumbled upon this den of iniquity, and I don't seem to have done anything else since. I've even given up my last obsession (VBScripting for Direct Connect hubs) to get deeper into Flash (which I've always liked as a program).
This place is pretty cool, apart from the usual internet imbeciles (WHO SPEKE INN CAPPITAL LETERES WIT LOTTS OF SPEELING MISTAKKES) - they seem to crop up wherever you surf...
Super Mario Bros 2, first game I played on arcade too, although at the time I was into Nemesis too (get it with the MAME emu, it's a great game! much better than Salamander)
Left front: Cutter's Choice tobacco & red rizlas. Trebor Extra Strong Mints. Fluffy stuff.
Right front: Lighter. Car & house keys. Opinel (locking blade) pocket knife. Fluffy stuff.
Back right: £3.67. Fluffy stuff.
Back left: Fluffy stuff.
And it's been like that for years (well, the money varies, but the rest stays the same)
Click on the instance of fry_over on the main stage. In the properties panel, give it an instance name (eg fred). Now, in the actions for the button, use this:
on (press) {
_root.fred.gotoAndStop(2);
}
Hope that works.
Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of restricting dimensions to banner size (<500x<70) and filesize to <25kb. But I agree, it would be a nightmare for the admins to control the content, and as you say, could also kill slower machines. As I mentioned earlier, it's just an idea to kick around, if it won't work easily then why bother.... 8 )

Bart: How would I go about making a half man half monkey man creature?
Mrs. Krapabell: I'm sorry, that would be playing god.
Bart: God schmod, I want my monkey man!

Ned: It was a little insensitive of you giving me a sex test, seeing as my wife just passed away.
Homer: No way! When?
Ned: Six months ago. You were at the funeral. You fell into the grave!
Homer: Hehe. Oh, yeah. I saw a gopher. What a day!
Hmmm yeah I see your point, it would be open to abuse in the hands of idiots. Oh well... just thought it'd be nice to have some slick animations as sigs without having to gif everything.
For single track editing, SoundForge is excellent. As a studio, Cubase is pretty good, but Samplitude is better. Although I do have a prejudice towards audio, rather than midi-based software
Dunno if this is worth making a topic about but it's something that's been tickling my brain for a little while. I notice that some 'commercial' bulletin board/forum packages have the ability to allow users to select a .swf file for their sig/avatar (namely, Invision & phpBB, and YaBB via plugin). I was just thinking:
a) Is it possible to do this with the NG BBS (obviously with strict dimension & filesize restrictions)?
b) Would other users be glad if it was possible?
Just wondering really, this doesn't haven't to be taken too seriously but I'd be interested to see your feedback...
Don't rate Halle Berry at all. Sandra, on the other hand.... mmmmm....
Yep it's much better. Can even view the movies at peak time which is usually virtually impossible. Good job chaps!
Been a while since I wrote on BBS... been working on what started out as a dating sim, but it seems to be developing into an adventure-type game. Gonna be a while until it's done cos I have tonnes of artwork to do for it. Certainly helping to improve my actionscripting skills though!
Lord of The Rings is a great book (much better than the movies)
Watership Down is pretty good too
Anything by Roald Dahl, on the lighter side of things. In particular, Danny Champion of The World
Heh, i like mine small, cos I don't have to compensate for a tiny penis.
I learned that the best way to extract rosebush roots is with a car and a towrope.
7/10 pretty cool mr jack
Apparently my name means 'Bright Fame'
...not sure I trust these name interpretation sites, though, it probably really means 'one who likes to eat shit' or something similar
What’s pink, wrinkly and hangs out your underpants?
Your Granny
Why are married women heavier than single women?
Single women come home, see what's in the refrigerator and go to bed. Married women come home, see what's in bed and go to the refrigerator.
What's the difference between pink and purple?

Which sexual position produces the ugliest children?

A monkey puzzle tree
-The common name of Monkey Puzzle Tree comes from a comment from an Englishman in the 1800's, who thought it would certainly be a puzzle for a monkey to climb. As there are no monkeys native to the area in which this tree is indigenous, this name has spawned many false stories. Because of the unusual character of this tree, which captures the imagination of most people who see it, the species is often planted in gardens around the world. -

I already said on page 5, it's Malachi. Which apparently means Messenger of God
I would pester walruses for a living
Nope. I am definitely an old fart.

Used to love naming my bongs: Magnitude, Misty Blue, Pearl & Imp. Been a while though...
