It's really kind of late to stop the spam when it's already on your mail server. Better solutions would involve your mail administrator and IP-level blocks against spam sites (RBL et al.) as well as probably additional server-level filtering. Don't reinvent the wheel. There are good recipe packages out there which you cannot duplicate without serious effort. And it'd be a waste of time anyway. You'll find links to many Procmail spam filtering packages on the links page.

Prior this year a trial took place in Israel to see if the game of backgammon was more skill based than luck based. The trial was supervised by a professor from the statistics department of Bar-Ilan University, Israel. 16 players participated in the trial: 5 were top level (information taken from Play65 site), 2 middle and 9 with weak abilities. The results showed that 3 out of the 4 finalists were top level and in the finals itself both players were high level.

A luck point does two things. It can either give your character a very large bonus on the next action they attempt, or can be used to bring a deceased character back to life. The administrative staff restricts the use of the Luck! command in some cases. Type '?Luck!' for more detailed information. (Thanks to Racker)

Not at all. U2 has a history of holding back tickets and releasing them as the concert date draws closer as a means of hurting ticket brokers and ticket scalpers. So you should keep an eye on official sources (i.e. Ticketmaster.com, the venue box office, and any other official ticket outlets) to see if and when tickets are released. In addition, fans often trade and sell tickets amongst themselves. You should keep an eye on the U2tours.

a certain time there are happenings in the Universe that affect every individual. In the large there are stars born and destroyed. In the small the assigned value of the time variable produces a certain functional value to a person's luck equation. We call this Heaven Luck. Different places in the Universe are subjected to different conditions. In a smaller scale, opportunities in different parts of the word are entirely different.

To those who plan to attend, please look around for any upcoming feis syllabus - especially for the Lenihan feis - and bring a few to the studio next week.

The same formula as above will be used and any unmet need will first be filled by BOG and then with FWS. You may also be eligible to apply for a Federal Stafford student loan.

The luck value of a character affects the amount of gold pieces found in gold bags, and the quality of the items found in chests. In addition the luck value counts as bonus to the character's magic resistance.

No. We thought of that. The MINIX distribution comes with TWO simulators. One of them allows MINIX to run as a user program on a SPARC workstation. This version only works on SPARCS, but it runs MINIX at full speed. The other simulator is a 386 interpreter that can run MINIX on the bare (interpreted) hardware. Of course, running MINIX on an interpreted 386 is slower than running it on the bare metal, but it is still quite usable. This simulator works on any computer that supports X Windows.

Mainly because it is not realistic for someone to know without a doubt how lucky they are. There are many things that we want to do with this attribute. It would fill too much space here to discuss and validate every design decision behind this attribute so you will just have to judge for yourself how important the attribute is when the game is released.

Yes - but you can't die in the game, so you don't need to worry about saving the game before experimenting. Saved games are approx. 100K - quite small enough to be emailed, if you fancy showing off to other ST players having solved a particular puzzle.

Your local software retailer would be your best bet for the most recent Ultima release (as well as other fine ORIGIN titles).

A roleplaying game, simply put, is a game where the people take on roles of fictional characters, and have an adventure that is usually solely played out in the imagination of the players. These adventures are either made up on the spur of the moment or have a basic outline that has been already set out in some written work. Roleplaying material consists of books that set out the rules for running these games and also books (know as modules) that set out particular storylines for the games.

There is a superstition in the Army about lighting 3 cigarettes from one match (or from one burning of a cigarette lighter). That started in WW1 where the theory was that enemy snipers were drawn, at night time, to the flash of light of striking a match and lighting of the first cigarette, lighting the second cigarette allowed the sniper to get set and if a third was lit it gave time for the sniper to aim and to shoot.
