I'm running 64-bit SUSE Linux and nspluginwrapper so my browser is 64-bit As are all of my media codecs. I had a bit of a pain making Rhapsody work, but that was fixed sorta easily. And wine can run most of my Windows-only games at a decent speed (and then one it doesn't support at all I got bored with months ago, anyway). My registers are bigger than yours, and I know how to use them.

Originally posted by Hatusu View PostI learned something new today. If I ever get to Alaska, I won't make that error. I know that Denali is a difficult and dangerous mountain, but you haven't even tried a short hike?
Alaskans have long believed McKinley is an irrelevant name for the mountain, especially since it already had a name. In 1975, the state of Alaska petitioned the federal U.S. Geographic Names Board to change the name back to Denali. In 1980, Congress changed the name of the national park to Denali, but a single Congressmen from Ohio has blocked changing the name of the mountain itself. McKinley was an Ohio governor and congressman. Rep. Ralph Regula, a Republican who has represented McKinley's former seat since 1972, and even attended William McKinley Law School, found a clever maneuver to keep his name on the mountain. The names board has a policy of taking up no issue that is also being considered by Congress. Each Congress since 1977, Regula has introduced a single sentence as a budget amendment or as a stand-alone bill that states that McKinley is the mountain's permanent name. Although the bill never gets so much as a committee hearing, its existence is enough to invoke the board's policy and prevent it from considering the change.
Alaskans call the mountain Denali anyway, and haven't given up on changing its official name. Their chief hope is persistence. Regula can't stay in Congress forever.
This is largely based on an article from Alaska Magazine, July 2005, by Peter Porco.sigpic

Well, he is an e-friend, so it just wouldn't be proper to leave him in this state, for much longer, but do I dare recompile him? He may after all retaliate and all....decisions, decisionssigpic
