I'm up for a beta test.

Chris, you're dead to me until you give cryptonomicon another try. Great episode though!

No worries. I didn't get the invites. Apparently live is smart enough not to send invites cross platform.

I hope I'm in

I am I am! My copy is int he mail somewhere between England and Holland. It should arrive sometime in the coming few days.

I'm going off on a limb here, but you wanted to have marmite as a nick?

I don't have the beta forum or anything mentioned in the email?

I got the invite, but I can't find the download link anywhere on the site :/ What am I doing wrong?

Oh, you mean my 78 hours of GTA IV this week? I have no idea how I got that many hours into this game :/

Here's hoping I'll get my copy before Wednesday!

I expect at least one more thumb off!

Heh, your last sentence reminds me of this:

OH and if you're lazy/don't have the space/don't have the CPU power/Don't have the RAM there is allways http://browsershots.org

I don't trust that kind of software. Ive heard from people at microsoft that you usually end up with horrid hybrids. IE7 with the javascript engine from IE6 or IE6 with the javascript engine from 7. The best and most sureway to test in IE6 is using the virtual machines MS provides for free. Get it here

It was? That'll teach me to trust my crappy memory. I stand corrected, sir.

Also: this thread just silently passed the 1000 post mark. This is post 1022! I started this thread over 2 years ago now. My goodness, doesn't time fly! May this thread exists for another 2 years and get another 1000 posts!

Well we've got the forums. And... The old articles are still on the site. Somewhere.

Mind you both books were written around the same time. In the early days fo the internet. Everything was possible and no one had any idea how the world would look in 5 years time. And complaining about a ninja pizza delivery guy is no fair, this was written before the whole ninja/pirate/zombie craze!

Thank the big corporations for that. They're the lazy fucks that don't want to update their intranet software that runs on IE6. I'll bet when IE8 comes out next year it will replace IE7 faster than it will IE6. Sad but true

Haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I would like to welcome all the shackers to the forums. Hang around we've got more than just the podcasts!

I really need to get my hands on a second hand copy. I want to join the fun!

Hey it's the humper of pancakes! welcome!

Speaking of moving graphics: Mirrors Edge got a nice panic room like intro.

I can't understand how snowcrash is hard to get in to. I mean just the opening chapter is just awesome:

Eurogamer reviewed it: 6/10
