One for all the abandonware freaks in the audience. Also, putting the Orkin man out of business.
SWEET!
I just downloaded a copy of an old game I bought years ago, and in the process of getting DOSBox working, I found out that D-Fend, an old DOSBox Frontend loader that I'd become accustomed to using, has just been rereleased as open source DFend Reloaded!
Shicka-BOOM, baby!
EDIT:
Anybody who has bug problems? (lafinjack I'm hinting to you in the back bedroom)
Diatomaceous earth.
(3:06:08 AM) Namechange: Its got the same consistency as like borax...
(3:06:20 AM) Namechange: But none of the toxicity. It's essentially crushed shells of diatoms.
(3:06:50 AM) Namechange: The shells stick in bugs' waxy body and leech water out of them. It's Like walking through broken glass and bleedig to death.
WARNING: DO NOT KILL THE LOCAL ECOSYSTEM AND BIOME BY ABUSING THIS PRODUCT.
re:
(3:19:06 AM) Namechange: Buuuut.. *shrug*
(3:19:34 AM) InfintySquared: Let's be friendly with our neighborhood insects.
(3:19:36 AM) Namechange: It could kill any insect that got enough of teh stuff on it, that's really not cool.
(3:19:40 AM) Namechange: Some bugs are good.
(3:19:49 AM) InfintySquared: Right.
(3:20:10 AM) Namechange: Nesting under the silverware tray = FUCK YOU
(3:20:14 AM) Namechange: nesting outside, don't give a shit
(3:20:20 AM) InfintySquared: Right.
(3:07:14 AM) Namechange: You can feed it to livestock for parasites even.
Note the warnings. If you do use this product, be sure to purchase at least food grade. Otherwise, you may be putting yourself and your pets at risk for serious scratchiness and worse. Inhalation of dry industrial grade (water pool stores) can be lethal.
As per Wikipedia:
The absorbent qualities of diatomite can result in a significant drying of the hands, if handled without gloves. The saltwater (industrial) form contains a highly crystalline form of silica, resulting in sharp edges. The sharpness of this version of the material makes it dangerous to breathe and a dust mask is recommended when working with it. The type of hazard posed by inhalation depends on the form of the silica. Crystalline silica poses a serious inhalation hazard because it can cause silicosis. Amorphous silica can cause dusty lungs, but does not carry the same degree of risk as crystalline silica. Food-grade diatomite generally contains very low percentages of crystalline silica. Diatomite produced for pool filters is treated with heat, causing the formerly amorphous silicon dioxide to assume its crystalline form. In the United States, the crystalline silica content in the dusts is regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and there are guidelines for the maximum amounts allowable in the product and in the air near the breathing zone of workers.[3]
