Sorry, I edited my hosts file...it turns out that snap.com is on the bad list so I can't even load their website. When I noticed that the feature went live for my page I put off reading more about it. I didn't activate it though.

I think I'm with the group that was mildly entertained by the Snap Preview Anywhere feature. I was indifferent as to whether I wanted to deactivate it or not. But, now that you have brought my attention to the matter I've deactivated the Snap feature on my blog because I agree that it hampers accessibility.

I don't like being tooled by businesses much either, but seeing as how I am disabling the feature now rather than reacting to it at the time it was introduced to my blog says enough of how conscientious I am.

(This doesn't really fit as a comment anywhere on your wordpress, Percy, but it's kind of related to that site in general, so I'll just post it here, seeing as you're likely to read it here.)

P, have you noticed a lot of people down on the Snap Preview Anywhere thing that's now on your blog? In the past couple of days, I've stumbled upon someone declaring a eureka moment upon finding a way to deactivate the preview on Snap.com's FAQ. And then there was this link on digg with a significant number of disgruntled digg users complaining about the preview popup.

Is this purely a Wordpress thing, or was it an option you activated? What are your thoughts on the feature. Personally, I could take it or leave it, but I'm curious about how you feel about it.

For those interested this is a passage from Issac Asimov's story "The last question"

Matter and energy had ended and with it space and time. Even AC existed only for the sake of the one last question that it had never answered from the time a half-drunken computer [technician] ten trillion years before had asked the question of a computer that was to AC far less than was a man to Man.

All other questions had been answered, and until this last question was answered also, AC might not release his consciousness.

All collected data had come to a final end. Nothing was left to be collected.

But all collected data had yet to be completely correlated and put together in all possible relationships.

A timeless interval was spent in doing that.

And it came to pass that AC learned how to reverse the direction of entropy.

But there was now no man to whom AC might give the answer of the last question. No matter. The answer -- by demonstration -- would take care of that, too.

For another timeless interval, AC thought how best to do this. Carefully, AC organized the program.

The consciousness of AC encompassed all of what had once been a Universe and brooded over what was now Chaos. Step by step, it must be done.

And AC said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT!"

And there was light --

America's Army is the only one that comes to mind.

That's a new one to me as well Tony. A little digging on the internet and through my file systems has revealed nothing terribly useful. Entry.unr is the only file found in the lineage 2 folders that matched your error. It's found in the maps folder. Check there for it. If it's not there, you either need to redownload, or you didn't unzip properly. Dunno without looking at your machine.

The other useless thing the internet told me though not specifically, it appears that the entire game is a massive mod of unreal. Though I seem to recall another bigger and more popular game that was also an unreal mod. If anyone knows what that was, let me know.

I hope this helps you a little. Though, I doubt it will.
