      LAA flag is just a setting for the linker in the 32 executable code, PrgLnch will set it for sure.

      There was another site derived from GeoCities with numbers in the name, 777 or 888, Los Angeles? based, not listed as a free home page like these:

        Boing-Boing don’t like the host listings, so up goes a blocker/wall without a booiiing sound effect. Luckily, you can clear the cache and cookies, then, in reloading the page, quickly hit the handy stop/pause button before the wall comes up again. Yes, its hilarious, sort of thing one would find in TikTok. 😛
        Haven’t seen many – if any – of those in this country, not to say they aren’t here of course:
        https://historicvehicles.com.au/historic-car-restorations/1936-delahaye-135s
        Tread lighly with those dealers! Like with most brands, the real cost of a vehicle comes with all the extras, addons and fries with that. 😛
        If in short supply of eye opening forms of transport, look no further than a hobby horse!

          Do remember seeing that, Laurie chucked in a few goodies like the familiar Also sprach Zarathustra, pinched later by Kubrick and his gang:

          The Two Faces of January (film) is a classy production around a rather mean plot line. The sets, the acting, the scenes and the music are all to die for! 🙂
          The Green Veil is an oddball bang/crash glim/glam venture into the 1950s world of the Navajo stolen generations. Episodes are only 20 minutes which adds to the novelty. Another eyecatcher is the UFO diner in the final episode – should grab a piccy of it sometime.

            One fine orchestrator for film scores is Alberto Iglesias – here’s the main titles from The Two Faces of January:

            Here’s one from Broken Embraces with cool still-image warping visuals on the change:

            Another composer of movie music who knocks us over and round like roly poly dolls is Silvestri – here’s the theme for Father of the Bride:

            He also scored for a fabulous bunch of movies like Lara Croft, Judge Dredd and the Avengers. Amazing! 🙂

              Couldn’t login as per this error and response, noticed too, that MS won’t let you keep (free classic) without installing the 350mb+ “new” Teams. Rather cleverly inveigled by the idea of tossing the lot! 😛

                The movie that sends this one to slumberland is a ZZZzzzzzz movie. No shortage of those these days, fortunately. 🙂
                Finally got back to the summer (Skyrim) PC, the plan is not to return to the HP for at least year, to heck with the warranty.

                  Can contact Nimrod if you like, although we’re not sure whether he received explicit permission in the first place, see the post. The project is so old, there’s a good chance no-one will be worried about it all that much. Does Nimrod’s licence permit a third party copying his code, and then attributing his work in the updated project?

                    Just curious, from the other thread, does PrgLnch help any with the monitors? Using the Lnchpad isn’t a bad idea as suggested at NexusMods listing, of course PrgLnch has its own LAA facility. 🙂
                    Edit: Also check OS compatibility, might go better in W7 mode, for instance.
                    Haven’t been with Lycos.com for a while now, it’s quite nice, and Tripod still offers web publishing. Signed up to htmlGear in 2002, retired some years later, the 404 page suggests Tripod, naturally. 🙂
                    Looking over some other old accounts, signed up to Sourceforge in 2003, believe it or not. 🙂
                    Couple of other items of interest, editing the thumbs.db as per this helped, but you still had to twiddle some of the other options before they bin.
                    Besides a caveat or three, the Win + P can be useful with windows lost in monitors. 🙂

                      This Catch Me a Killer series is quite engrossing in the detail of the considerable number and scale of serial killings in South Africa at the time. It stars Charlotte Hope, a seasoned actor notable from Bancroft season 2, as the lead investigative psychologist, Micki Pistorius.
                      In the episode The Phoenix Strangler: Part II, she relates to her companion an old story of persistence and determination related to her many years ago by an elderly relative. It’s encapsulated in the following video, 1932 USS Akron Floats Away Navy Men Cling to Rope for Life:

                      Amazing. 🙂

                        Cool, going to watch for that, yeah it’s Amazon Prime, so could do it on the 30 day free trial.
                        Back to slashers briefly, Scream VI on FTA presented plenty of excitement, thrills and spills, the violence is rampant, as expected for the franchise. Watching this through and after dinner is not recommended for the squeamish, could also be this viewer is getting too long in the dagger tooth for this kind of stuff. 😛

                          I’d leave Dave’s for the moment, Nimrod actually has the solution, however conversion of the vcproj to vcxproj is the first port of call. All the included files will be in there – have you got to that stage yet?
                          Re-arranging the dir structure is critical, as you know.

                            Note to self, the protective familiar spirit (what’s the word?) of HP is wanton to prohibit the usage of the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant outside of the HP Support Assistant, so, uninstalled, and hands off in future!

                              Performed another site backup, there’s an extra option:

                              Include integration links (may contain external account credentials).

                              N/A for us. Also had trouble nuking an older empty “HomeDir” directory, solved through the client. Of interest, since the first of November ’24 there has been an increase of 20mb to the tarball, hmmm, that’s where etckeeper might come in to determine means and probable cause. 🙂

                                It’s related to the shifting jet streams, going to be a big problem in the future for sure. So better water conservation is a defense.
                                They have to be careful about the weather, what happens when the bitumen roads get hot with some vehicles travelling at speed. And how safe would it be for cyclists and pedestrians?
                                Found a couple of bones in the gully today, and no, it wasn’t me! 😛

                                  Thread up, else things will get clog-orific. 😛
                                  Why not, looks like others found it helpful, there is a global setting in Adrenalin, and other suggestions here which might help. 🙂

                                    We could ask him for comment, or comment for code, or comment in return for code, or vice-versa, or seek his recommended flavour of Febreze – over here there’s Glen 20 for extra bug zap. 😛

                                      If you like theatre, suspense, and a highly active screenplay, Deathtrap has it all. Once acclimatised to the rhythm of Lumet’s direction, you won’t be switching off. The article mentions the earlier Sleuth, one for Caine fans too. Recommended.

                                        VS is the first preference here as it has an IDE and a feedback system which has good support. There are others like the cross platform VSCode which might be worth trying out at some stage.

                                        On the Sourcefourge page the licence is “GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2),” still more popular than other versions, but second fiddle to MIT these days.
                                        There’s a fair bit of bulk in David’s code, so shooting through an enquiry might work. It’s clear he wanted to move quickly away from MWEdit, as evidenced by not providing answer for all the bugs posted, even if half of them were PEBCAK.
                                        Is FNV coming from Steam, GOG or Beth?

                                          Funny, despite Reddit and others, no mention of Fallout in the article, or even in previous adaptations in the talk page. Both have a TV series out, of course, on the watchlist. 🙂

                                          Isn’t it supposed to be the middle of winter over there, yet these fires in LA. Has anything like that ever happened before at such a time of year?

                                            Sounds a likely candidate for Projects, getting it all to wrok from VS being the major stumbling block if not disposed to CMake. Is that image library still being updated?
                                            Edit: Doesn’t look like it, and there are embedded dlls, so how closely bound into the project is it.
