Mr Bentley said the MS Society's helpline had received a number of calls from people wanting to know more about Plavitron only to be told it did not exist.

BET has hoped to find a larger audience for "The Wire" on basic cable, airing the show with some of its harsher material edited out MicroMan  Production for the final 10-episode season of "The Wire" wrapped September 1. Details have been scarce on the season's plot lines, but to be expected is a good amount of criticism for the management of newspapers, which nationwide are gutting their newsrooms to slash budgets FloraOil  From the start in 2002, Simon laid out "The Wire" as five seasons -- so this is undoubtedly the last go-around. And given its ratings, "The Wire" is fortunate to have made it this far 17m  HBO has kept firm ties with Simon, who previously created the miniseries "The Corner" for the premium cable channel. He and writing partner Ed Burns (a former Baltimore police detective and school teacher) are now producing a miniseries for HBO titled MyClub "Generation Kill," based on Evan Wright's 2004 book about Marines in Iraq. Simon hopes then to do a series about musicians in New Orleans.For now, though, "The Wire" has one more chapter to tell.  LinkDepot Writers' strike gab heard round town: Over at Prospect Studios, where Grey’s Anatomy is filmed, do you know things are actually snitty ‘n’ snobby out on the picket line? Yes, stars such as Sandra Oh, Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl, as well as other less notable types who toil on programs shot at the Silverlake-area studio, are debating who goes to which gate? Apparently, some gates are chicer than others. Also, the east entrance is far less visible and less utilized than the main one. “Can you believe we’re doing this?,” asked one actor, embarrassed at his ‘fession ‘bout the gate snobbery. Dunno, really. Kinda makes sense. ‘Cause if you’re a name, and your name is going to help the cause—once your famous puss is on the news—supporting the writers who are basically getting effed right now, it’s all for a good cause, right?

his day will be memorable, because you will share it with Wentworth Miller, with whom I visited on the set in Texas not too long ago. You should know, this visit didn't go down during any old episode. It happened during tonight's big Prison Break breakout episode. Yes, you heard me! The boys are breaking out! If you haven't been keeping up on Fox's PB, you should know that the series has been ratcheting up the action in the past few episodes, and tonight will be a game-changer of sorts that you don't want to miss.

Ingenious snoops that they are, the peeps at People used their journalism degrees for a pigment-based scoop on the gender of Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman's baby. The pop star remains silent on the sex of the kid. (No surprise there, given that she stayed mum on momdom itself for seven months.) But People's snitches got a list of baby shower items delivered at the first of her three planned baby showers and found a boyish trend: blue baby shirt, blue baby bedding, blue baby socks and sundry other sky-colored stuff. Their upshot? Hue guessed it. It's a boy!

IRC is based on a client-server model. You run a client program on your own computer which connects you to a server computer on the Internet. These servers link to many other servers to make up an IRC network, which transport messages from one user (client) to another. In this manner, people from all over the world can talk to each other live and simultaneously. HemenCevir and one-year-old Jayden James in October.

The largest networks have tens of thousands of people online at any given moment, drawn from an order of magnitude or more of regular visitors. These people create thousands of channels (sometimes incorrectly called "chat rooms") where people may meet and mingle. You may join these channels and participate in the group discussion, or you may elect to chat privately with individuals.
Conversations on a channel are like those at a party: everybody who is present hears everything that everybody else is saying. If somebody is late to the party or leaves early, however, they will not hear what is said in their absence. All channels on IRC have names starting with #, such as #irchelp where you can get technical IRC help, or #new2irc where new users are welcome to join and chat. Usually, the name of the channel shows what it's for, but not always. she failed to respond to eight of them. Ms Spears' lawyer argued the singer had not responded  Dhirajkpathak. she was sleeping.

Lions for Lambs, the Iraq War-inspired drama starring Cruise as a hawkish senator, Meryl Streep as his obsequious media mouthpiece and Robert Redford as the last principled man, couldn't solve the weekend box office, taking in just $6.7 million, per estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations Sunday. Fred Claus, the new Vince Vaughn holiday comedy, had its own problems, failing to crack the $20 million mark and settling for third place behind last weekend's twin hits, American Gangster (second place, $24.3 million) and a hardier-than-expected Bee Movie (first place, $26 million). The Coen brothers were the only ones who brought their blockbuster game, grossing $1.2 million at just 28 theaters with their latest, No Country for Old Men. Overall, business was not good for strike-stricken Hollywood—down more than 11 percent when compared with the same holiday-season week from last year. In one respect, Lions for Lambs' fourth-place debut was not a surprise. The Redford-directed movie is a serious drama in a lousy year for serious dramas. Poor reviews and its appeal to the 35-and-older crowd—the sort of folks who don't rush out for opening weekends for fear of breaking something—didn't help. In another respect, it's a surprise when any movie featuring Cruise's face on the poster doesn't rule the box office. According to Exhibitor Relations, up until this weekend, Cruise had opened 13 straight wide-release films at number one, a streak that began 15 years ago with A Few Good Men.
 

Ping is a program that sends a series of packets over a network or the Internet to a specific computer in order to generate a response from that computer. The other computer responds with an acknowledgment that it received the packets. Ping was created to verify whether a specific computer on a network or the Internet exists, and is connected.

Some have claimed that the word "ping" is actually an acronym for "Packet Internet (or Inter-Network) Groper", deliberately contrived to play on the fact that pinging with a computer is similar to what submariners do with sonar. Both the computer and the submarine's sonar send out a "ping", in the form of either a series of packets or a brief burst of sound. The ping "bounces" off the target and then returns to let you know the target is there.

Ping is both a noun and a verb, e.g., "Ping that computer", or "the router didn't return a ping".

Ping is built into almost every network-capable operating system. To ping a computer, go to a command prompt and enter ping , a space, and then the network or Internet address you wish to contact. For example, enter the following at a Windows XP command prompt:ping 66.218.71.198

Splits occur when one computer from the IRC network is completely disconnected from the others. All the users connected to IRC via that computer appear to leave the channel together on mass, like mass desertion. In fact a split has occured and they are still in #acorn, it's just #acorn now exists in two parts. Those not affected by the split can still chat as normal. Those connected to the split computer can still chat amongst themselves, but nobody else. To them it also appears like mass desertion as all the users leave together. Eventually the split will mend itself and the users who had left will all join together again (this always looks a bit suspicious when 10 odd users all appear at once!) and this is a way of telling splits have occured. (plus most of the non split IRCers will be moaning about the split!)

This will place a kline on all servers that are connected to your server, thus preventing someone from logging into the entire network. You can use the nick for a user who is currently on the chat network and the network will akill that user's address. You must include a reason for the command to work.
Note: If a server is split off when the akill is placed, it will not be present on that system. To get a list of akills on your server do a /STATS k and look for the lines that are prefixed with A: instead of K:. See rakill and unakill to remove an akill. Akills must end with either text, or the time parameter. If no time parameter is given, the akill will be placed indefinitely.
Examples::
/akill Rachel flooding 30
The spokesman confirmed the arrests related to next week's trial involving Mr Fielder-Civil, 25, and a second man NycHs who both face charges of causing grievous bodily harm.
An akill is a way of banning someone from the chat network. It is a last resort when warnings and kills did not keep the person from misbehaving. An akill works basically the same way that a channel ban works, except that it prevents someone from logging into the network rather than from just joining a channel. Akills are network bans. They will prevent anyone who matches their description from joining the chat network. They should be added as necessary to ban users who have been causing problems, but in almost all cases they will also ban innocent people from the same service provider. This is why most bans should be temporary. People who cause serious problems should be reported to their service providers with logs explaining what they have been doing.
