fdformat? That's for floppies only, don't expect any hard disk to understand the floppy controller low-level format ioctls.

For the Windows users, that would be: #!format C: /y /u /q

Ask NeXt

popen seems very limited in functionality, personally I would prefer just setting up the pipes and fork()'ing manually... But, popen is in stdio, shouldn't that mean it's portable to even Windows? In that case I see the advantage And yes, amazingly Windows has similar functionality (they even call it StandardInput/Output/Error), I've used it from VB.NET to control psftp.exe

Erm, then what do you use the name without () or & for? Assigning a value to the function?

Lately, different people have said to me "You play Planeshift, why are you still here?", like I am supposed to stop playing one game when I start playing the next. I just wonder, do people normally do that? Because where I come from I'm used to people having loads of games, playing different games depending on what they feel like playing that time of day. For me it's currently: Gran Turismo 4 Planeshift LBreakout 2 Tomb Raider 3 Einstein Puzzle (for when my brain needs to relax) Eternal-Lands I'm sure that either Quake 3 Arena or Unreal Tournament 2004 will be back on the list at some time, but lately I haven't felt like that urge to kill stuff.

Ooooo - you're missing out, there's some excellent games out there Any single-player versions?

Take it of course, unless it was a friend who died. All the giving stuff back to people you dont even know are ruining the whole concept of losing stuff when you die.

Well, I forgot that board games existed... I don't think I've played a board game in this millenium

If you mean without "buy a continue", I don't think very long. But I'm no achiever (to stay in the MMORPG terminology), I don't care about the score I only play to waste some time. As for the pinball, try happypenguin.

Fully agree.

It seems Platyna was banned *again* from posting on the forums. She would like to know why she was banned. (and so would I)

Over twice as many who wants to kill her, that those who don't? What's going on here? Hey people, we are not talking about PK here, this is a real person!!!

Because 3 of them are ignoring #help_me, and the rest are AFK?

Deleting her defence also? Are you trying to make it impossible for Roja to find out what is going on? Hiding something?

Why not? EL does not do anything that requires lots of bandwidth. It may take a few days to download, but playing shouldn't be a problem.

We've all seen how great this works Like nobody have serpent stones - Or fighters paying shitloads for a titanium sword, because you need to fight for several minutes (!!!) to get a rare drop.

Which date do you mean, when you say "the old system"? Things have changed gradually, it's not like there was an EL1 and EL2, more like something changed every other week.

Posting in a new thread to avoid my concerns getting lost between nominations, and to avoid starting a discussion that could make it hard to find the nominations It seems to me that this is not very representative. Remember Lyanna's post about four types of players? Fighters, achievers, socializers and explorers. The fighters have 1 representative, number 1. Achievers have 4 representatives, number 2, 3, 4 and 5. Socializers may be represented by number 6, and number 7 doesn't really fit any of the four types. So, we have achievers heavily over-represented, and explorers not represented at all. This strikes me as a bit un-balanced.

You could say the same thing for the other categories. Example: What types of things to killers like? What do they do? Kill stuff. Meaning, new monsters, tough monsters, and PK maps.

I have a TFT screen and I have no problems with darkness. maybe you are used to it, I got used to it too, but in some areas it's really too dark. The problem is it doesn't look like night, the contrast is bad and everything is greyish No, I didn't get used to it. It's just as bright as the CRT I had before.

It's not dark at all. Even at night time, I can see everything without problems, that's brigter than IRL, where you can't see a thing without a flashlight except when the moon shines on things.
