Comment I got one after hearing about them on Slashdot! (Score 1) 266

Back in April I read a recommendation on a thread on here about these monitors. I wish I could find the thread to give proper credit, but I didn't do such crazy tricks as emailing myself or bookmarking it. Firefox history search needs to work more like Gmail. Whoever it was, thanks, it's a really nice monitor! Good brightness, excellent colour reproduction, decent resolution. Reasonable size too :P The only complaint I have is a slight buzzing when displaying mostly-white content (eg this thread). It's practically inaudible though.

If anyone is interested, I bought through bigclothcraft on eBay. No affiliation, just a good price and very helpful in their communications!

... Nethack without spoilers. Without spoilers, not sure how you'd beat this.

That being said, I regret having the spoilers and forever depriving myself of the chance to do it. Is there any other nethack like game that would provide the same level of challenge?

Read up-thread: ADOM. There are many rougelikes that qualify. Angband is more slash-y. Dungeons of Dredmor is more modern. Take your pick!

I recently downloaded your rather interesting looking calculator, and so given your comment I tried it and must say it loads up pretty snappily! I was going to attribute this to it being read off an SSD, but it's actually on a rather old fragmented drive. So don't sweat it too much :)

PS After a little play, it seems like the calculator is in fact very nifty. Kudos!

Reminds me of my favorite generic speech template:

"I wish to speak to you all on the important subject of _____. As you all know, much has been done in this area, but there are still a great many things left to do. But knowing this is not enough, it will take real effort and dedication. What we need now is progress. I need progress, I request progress, I demand progress! I am certain, though, that with focus and teamwork, we can continue to make the changes that will allow for a better future. Thank you all for your time."

That could be right out of Yes, Minister. Well played.
