The Most Officialest SkiFree Home Page Microsoft SkiFree 1.0 History In 1991 I was working at Microsoft as a programmer, writing programming utilities for use by other programmers, such as a dialog editor used in the development of Word and Excel. The VAX version had looked something like this: Ski for VAX/VMS The "^" signs are trees, and "//" is the skier turning slightly right. VAX Ski was itself inspired by an Activision game for the Atari 2600 console, which I enjoyed playing in my youth. I wrote SkiFree in C on my home computer, entirely for my own education and entertainment. SkiFree was intended to run on a 386 PC with VGA display. In 1993 I started working on Version 2 of SkiFree, which would have slightly more realistic physics, multi-player, network play, robot opponents, and sounds. In April 2005 I found the source code for SkiFree 1.03 and compiled it, so now we have a real 32-bit version that should run on any Windows XP system, even the new 64-bit XP. In October 2005 I fixed a few bugs and released version 1.04.

Ford B-Max (2012) goes into the great wide open Click Thumbnails to Enlarge By Phil McNamara First Official Pictures 08 March 2012 11:30 Ford hopes a less-is-more approach will lure punters to its new B-max MPV, unique in the supermini segment for having a big hole in the central cockpit instead of a structural pillar. The novel doors landed the £12,500 people mover in the same must-see company as Bentley's grotesque SUV concept and Ferrari's beautiful F12. The rear doors are heavy to slide, and there's an ugly plastic umbilical cord visible, which houses the wiring for the electric rear windows. That said, it's all a far cry from the days where Ford innovation began and ended with new tailgate hinges on the fifth-generation Escort. The B-max, which is just 110mm longer than a Fiesta, also has another ace up its sleeve: it'll be available with the punchy, economical 1.0-litre Ecoboost, which has impressed CAR in the Focus. Other engines include a new 75PS 1.5-litre diesel, capable of 68.9mpg and 109g/km.

Kindle Daily Post (US Customers) Liggande stolen Star Wars blog Kindle Women Greta Christina's Blog: Atheists Do It Better: Why Leaving Religion Leads to Better Sex A new study shows that religious people have as much sex as atheists, but with less sexual satisfaction and more guilt. Do atheists have better sex? Yes. In January 2011, organizational psychologist Darrel Ray, Ed.D. But if you just want to know the gist? Leaving religion improves people's sex lives. A lot. Atheists and other non-believers, as a whole, experience a lot more satisfaction in their sex lives than they did when they were believers. Now, when it comes to people's actual sexual behavior, religion doesn't have nearly as much impact as you might think. Thus begins my latest piece for AlterNet, Atheists Do It Better: Why Leaving Religion Leads to Better Sex.
