The Question Game

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

H2G2 is a wholly remarkable book indeed ;)
But I still think it worked best as a radio series (and I know I'm not alone in this).

You can buy A Trilogy in Five Parts or The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide off of Amazon. Both consist of the five books, but the latter also contains the short story Young Zaphod Plays It Safe.
The first two Phases of the radio series (from 1978 and 1980) can be found here.

Edit: Almost forgot: you can play (the updated, fully illustrated version of) the text-based adventure game by Infocom on the BBC web site.

I'd be happy to lock it while it's still fun, but I ain't moderator in this corner of the forum. 8)

Why bother? It's not like anything offensive has been said. If people are sick of this thread, they can just ignore it. If everyone's tired of it, it'll go down the page by itself.

Just my 2? of course.

@ ToraOS:

No, you can't lock it, and if you can, you should notify df that you can, since that would mean the board's permission system is broken. ;)

@ all:

I really don't want to spoil the fun, but df (who is hosting this board) has expressed concern about the size of it, and I'd rather we push the limit of it with discussions about Sierra games, OS development, and the real life. ;)

The thread's original poster can lock the thread, I would assume this feature could be disabled though.

If that's the case people should be doubly ashamed to waste bandwidth this way. ;)

Didn't know that about thread starters. Started pretty few threads myself and been moderator for too long already. ;)

Not that it really matters, seeing as the board takes about a GB of bandwidth a week, this thread is only a very tiny part of it.

On the other hand, longer threads are already present on the forum. Have seen one with 6 pages (150+ replies) in OSdev, so this one should be no problem until it grows by at least 40 replies.

To continue the game, Visual Studio (any) or Borland Builder (any) ? If you'd have to choose?
