I can't seem to pass level 3. :(
EDIT: Got it. Now I got to round 35 in level 4 before expiring... This game is quite lagprone.
Talking about Xenophobe.

By the way, what was the date ?
100 days for non-confirmed registrations, 250 days for confirmed ones.
Btw, this was the third or fourth time I ran the user purge script during the operation of the board.
Rarely anybody cares, but perhaps AngerFist likes big numbers? :)

Yes, to the point of unclarity.
NESVSETTINGS is a string that is substituted by the snes9x patch with the video and audio depth/resolution/bitness/rate settings relevant to that particular movie being encoded.
I can't spot anything particularly strange in your output, I would have to test it myself. But this patch is basically a backport... (forwardport?) of my patch for snes9x-1.43, just applied in snes9x-1.51. I haven't got a chance to much test it yet. Maybe there are errors in it.

I assume this is some "gif drawing" package I don't have installed...
Yes, it is from libgd... tiletracker uses it for creating PNG files and nesvideos-piece uses it for reading the frames comprimising the logo animation.

A "reply to this email if you want to keep your account" could be a good idea.
There actually is a clause like that in the deletion e-mail.

Or looking at how often they log in instead of how often they post.
The deletion'o'matic checks a few different aspects for making the decision.
Unfortunately though, there is no data from which to surmise how often the person has been reading the forums.

Nice. I once programmed a background that flickered through 15 screenshots a second to make a movie file. I got used to it.
Actually, you can also do mplayer -rootwin avifile.avi to play an AVI directly as the desktop background. If I recall correctly, a similar option also existed (in MPlayer) for Windows.
Not that it is pleasing at all. :P

What I am getting at is that desktop screenshots are supposed to have most applications closed minimized, so that the desktop is visible, even if the desktop behind them is boring.
Ah,well that's nothowunixdesktopscreenshotsareusuallymade.
Because an important part of the desktop experience is also how the window borders, icons and transparencies are made, for example.
In my case, the background image is almost never seen in normal use, so it doesn't make sense to showcase it.

As usual, I patched snes9x-1.51 for my own version before even attempting to use its built in AVI recording mechanism.
List of changes:
- Adds ignoreframes support
- Adds Blargg's NTSC filter support
- Reads snes9x.cfg from $HOME/.snes9x/ directory by default now
- Adds nesvideos-piece (Bisqwit's AVI recording mechanism)
- Adds tiletracker for creating GIF animations (not completely patched in yet)

Startup script example... (RUNSNES)

Warp that is a screenshot of your browser, not your desktop. Please try again.
It's quite valid a desktop screenshot.
Like mine, his desktop is rather clean. It only contains the software he's using at the moment relating to the same task.
Or rather, that is one of the many virtual desktops.
Other sides may have other windows open.
Here's mine, for the record. http://bisqwit.iki.fi/kala/dtop/index.html
It has even fever standard desktop controls on it -- zero, to be precise. No icons, no menu-/taskbar, no widgets. Just the applications.
There are nine images on that page, because there are nine virtual desktops in my desktop system.

I'm not sure if this is related, but a few torrents are reporting a negative amount peers on the site. My bittorent client is also showing these (assuming there aren't actually 65493, but -42 peers), so I suppose this is a problem on the tracker's site.
That may have happened as I switched between two different tracker softwares when I tried to resolve this problem...

Taking them again.
Still getting 1.5 Hz.
In Tone test, I don't know what to answer in question 13 because the melody is the same but the rhythm is different...
Got 83.3% this time.
Not doing rhythm test second time :)

Adaptive pitch: 1.5 Hz
Tonedeaf: 77.8 % correct
Rhythm deaf: 80.0% correct
I started well in the pitch test, but after it went to 0.35 Hz level, I started to lose my sense.
In the other tests, memorization was indeed a bit difficult.

Hmm, here's a trick I hadn't seen before. http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=UpgXPt907oI
I don't understand it quite yet, but I would suppose it might help the walkathon, gaining this extra platform from an enemy somehow.
