I want to try out Litestep. The problem is that I because my CD/RW doesn't work, I can't make any recent backups until I upgrade over the summer.

Apparently the latest version has been tested without problems in XP, but I wanted to know from Litestep users about what setting up and possible uninstalling entails please

Thanks

Colleen: It sounds strange, but without the Daleks, the venture would be a total flop for sure.

Elmo: *nods* That's why it was so uncertain as to how the Daleks would make a comeback. Anyway, the news sounds good

That doesn't mean Havoks can't be offended

If you told Englishman Irishman and Scotsman jokes in an Irish pub, if you said the same, you'd still be beaten up

Yes, they're slightly witty, but I'd hardly call them jokes. They're just short sighted statements that are funny on a very simple level. When you think about them more, they become less funny. A good joke should become more and more funny the more you think about it.

Mind you, it's even more difficult to get into Out There... The easiest way is something edible or something wierd and obscure, but to get your Rom Hacking page into Edge and Out There... Pretty Impressive

CG Darleks? Legs for stairs? Bleh! That'd be taking away everything that is good about the Daleks... They're killing machines, and they should remain cold and as inhuman as possible.

Most people would strongly disagree with this, but I think the Daleks are perfect villains. They're about as far from humanity as you can get, and they're bloody terrifying.
They're slow, ruthless, systematic, efficient machines designed for genocide. They also have scary voices Can't be improved

It is true that every science holds a power that holds a terrible potential, although the chances of it happening yet are quite slim.

With the advent of spyware, though, we're approaching George Orwell's vision of Big Brother in 1984 with chilling accuracy, albeit a bit later than plan.

Privacy is the easiest human right that human beings find to breach, and information is power.

Reason enough to get yourself a good firewall and ad-protection program, you're making a big investment in your system.

Posted on 03-26-04 02:18 AM, in When can we expect the old board backup to come online? Link
Usually it's considered spam if a topic wanders into often covered generic territory. Usually happens with some heated discussion, too.

Sometimes, though, threads become more interesting, and that's where we cross the border out of spam territory.

I don't care for post counts, really, but obviously my Blog from the Officer's Club is of great importance to me. There are a lot of memories in there that I don't want to lose.
True, I always ran the risk of losing if the board ever went down, but the reason it grew so big was because of the input from other users and the traffic it got.

I've seen that photo before... Scientifically pointless, but important at a human level.

The other planets were on the photo as well, but were only a tiny bit larger. The dot of Earth was actually less than a pixel big without any clearing up.

I'm not sure if it mentions it, but the "Speck of dust" analogy comes from the fact that when one of the scientists was going through the archives, she wiped over the photo to get rid of dust. She discovered that one particular speck od dust was, in fact, our home

Nanobots could in theory replace our immune system. They'd be far more efficient, because they can fight infections straight away. Our immune systems rely on learning to combat an infection from contact with the foreign body.

This is how immunisation works.

They'd also be able to wage a battle on viruses that our immune systems cannot combat, like AIDS.
However, our immune systems aren't all that useless against it, there is one man who is completely immune from AIDS. All I remember is that his surname is Fuchs, so try a googlesearch on that if you're curious

I wouldn't bother, Anya. The difference is only apparent if you look for it, so it's difficult to see in regular use around the board

Wow, that's pretty cool The blue pattern makes the text a little harder to read, but the shape in the middle is spectacular.

I hope it's not too big in size, I can imagine a shape as big as that takes up a lot of bandwith running down to people's computers.

If it's a gif and has very few colours, then it shouldn't be very big at all, so I hope it is

Hurrah, it was about time that someone remembered that we're here... We have a very profitable market in Europe, and we deserve some attention

Sony might've realised the tension that is building up over rival publishers neglecting us.

The worst crime was Metroid Prime being delayed by months- for no reason at all.

Another thing- which I'm not too sure about- is GTA3 being released in the US before the UK, depsite the fact that it's a British game. You might have to correct me on that, but I'm sure there was one example...

My brother already got it. I was watching him in a match, and it looks like a lot of fun. The mantas look particularly impressive, and I hope to have a go when I get back home.

Even though he's into realistic FPSs for his clan stuff, he enjoys the fast pace of UT2K4 for a quick game away from the serious stuff

GTA3 was designed by Rockstar North, which is based in Edinburgh.

Eh... I used it once and I didn't like it. It's not as powerful as Exlorer when dealing with desktop icons and such. The start bar kept popping up anyway

I'm still looking for some cool GUI mods if anyone can recommend any. Thanks
