I have the equivalent of their $160 a month offering except I have two 250GB drives in a raid. I think my colocation fee works out to about $90 a month.
Omnitia's blog is still on my server and I can offer the same deal as I gave him to those who just want to host a blog.
I'm trying to remember this video game I played when I was a wee lass. I want to say it was on the Commodore 64 or possibly some PC type thing to where you had to put in a floppy disc.
It's a car game. Silly, cartoony. Not like Spy Hunter. You control a car that is shaped like a Beetle, but it isn't. Lots of bright vibrant colors in the game. You basically go through towns and obstacles to get from point A to point B, I believe. Your car can hop over other things.
Then I used ctrl+f to search for the word "car" until I found this description.
Burnin' Rubber Very fun little game with a fantastic mellow soundtrack! Race your little car that has the ability to jump hundreds of feet in the air and crush other cars on impact!
Then I did a Google image search for "burnin' rubber commodore 64", and it didn't seem to match your description very well.
So I went back and did some more ctrl+g to find more games about cars. Saw this.
Up 'n Down A cartoonish kind of game where you drive a little "love bug" kind of car that moves almost vertically on the roads.
That's too close to your description not to be the right game. Did another image search for the cover art. No mistaking it.
I'm just hoping people can learn from my example of how to Google properly and quickly. That whole process, including posting, took < 1 minute. Part of that was fast typing and keyboard shortcuts, which other people also need to master.
Lesson Learned: Ask a question here and Scott will answer it for you. Then he'll comment on how easy it was.
Lesson I have learned, but refuse to accept - People ask for fish. You teach them to catch their own fish. They get upset and resent you because they just wanted to be handed a fish and not learn anything.
Actually he does teach very well however the style is not conducive to those who like to have things spelled out, there is a certain amount of background that is required in order to obtain the full knowledge of the information being brought.
Or so I think from taking one Linux lesson online a while back.

The trick is to hand them fish while also showing them how to catch one. If someone's hungry, saying "Just go catch your own damn fish" isn't going to take. Gotta fix the hunger thing first.

If you would like some criticism I would say you give the right information, you just present it in a way that is tinged with a bit of condescension and is not really conducive to learning or experimentation.
Teaching is a skill few are good at. I suck at it.

That's what I did.
Yes, you did better here. I like to insert links to repositories of information that I use, to take people along my process step-by-step. Don't be afraid to dangle the fish for a while. Walk them along your process and give them the fish at the end.
It's ok, teaching well isn't an easy skill to get the hang of. Just try not to blame others for not making up for it.
There's a reason why all teachers are required to spend some time observing/assisting experienced teachers to get their degrees.
I TA'd for a semester, that was a train wreck. It got better towards the end of the semester. You have the kids who don't give a shit, the kids who want to learn but don't want to put much effort in to it, the kids who do want to put effort in, and the kids who basically already know what you're talking about.
No one asks questions even if they need help and very few people actually do what you say to do, or take your word too literally. Some people you can explain to them sort of how to do it and they can take the reins. Others need it basically spelled out for them. It's incredibly hard to present information in a way that everyone is going to get something out of it.
The hardest part about teaching is breaking down your internalized process into digestible chunks. You tend to do lots of little things together as a single "action," and uncoupling them is incredibly hard.
And then you have to figure out how to present all of those tiny little pieces in a coherent fashion.

Oh, come on. How hard can it be to:
1. Put the lotion on 2. Put the lotion back in the basket.
It's like kids just can't learn to do anything right these days without micromanaging every little step.

Just as long as you don't suck up toms of bandwidth and don't do anything spammy.

That's all I can recall.
So does anyone know this game?
That it?
Oh mans.
I'm filling out a survey and I'm trying to think of the earliest platform I played on.
Had to Google to Youtube to verify if that is the game. The music brought back so many memories.

Well at least my description was pretty decent.
Thanks.

I'm just happy that my memories weren't false and the game does exist.

How many of you use - operators in your google searches? I'll bet not many.
Use this shit or GTFO. ;^)
