1.70 Mhz 8-Bit Ataris Get 10 Mbit Ethernet
point writes "Thanks to Chris Martin, 8-bit Atari power users can now enjoy 10 Mbit Ethernet, something that the Commodore 64 crowd have been able to do for over a year now... Time to pick up that age-old flamewar? An Ethernet-enabled Atari port of the Contiki operating system has already been completed, and brings the Atari users telnet, e-mail, a web server and a web browser. Pictures and schematics for the Ethernet card, as well as screenshots of the system in action on an Atari 800 are available from the project's webpage."
you definately need sex :-D
(preferrably from the goatse guy!)
I was *so* not trolling.
I also know that, because I was posting anon, I should not worry about the down-mod, because it really does not affect me. But the fact that it *was* modded down as troll bothers me.
Maybe, just maybe, it *was* modded down reflexively because it was a 3am first post.
Actually, perhaps, by definition, I was trolling.
By definition, a troll is *baiting* for a response, right?
I wondered *why* people do this, and I have received my answer. I was trying to elicit a response, to gain insight and knowledge, to something I did not understand.
If that is trolling, it is a badge I wear with pride.
Have a nice night.
I guess this would be the place to ask, since I haven't had any luck with Google.
Where would I get an 8-bit ISA network card that's supported in Linux? I've got a couple of Netgear NE2000 cards that were advertised to work in 8-bit slots, but the drivers don't seem to recognize them.
I'm definitely not a hardware hacker, so I'd be grateful for any hints.

That's awesome how you mix the old english and the german and stuff.
WiFi on your favorite TI calculator?
Anybody got a cracked license key that I can use for Quake3?

Thousands march in Washington against war

WASHINGTON (AP) -- To chants of "Impeach Bush," thousands of anti-war protesters rallied in the nation's capital Saturday and delivered a scathing critique of President Bush and his Iraq policy.
Demanding an end to the U.S.-led occupation and the quick return of American troops, the demonstrators gathered on a sunny fall day at the Washington Monument to listen to speeches and songs of peace.
One man's small cardboard sign gave his summing-up of the day: "This administration does not represent me," it said in black capital letters typewritten on white paper.
The Reverend Al Sharpton, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, exhorted the crowd not to be content with the gradual withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.
"Don't give Bush $87 billion, don't give him 87 cents, give our troops a ride home," Sharpton said to loud cheers from the crowd.
Hundreds of anti-war protesters also took to sun-drenched streets in San Francisco.
"We feel it's very important to keep our voices heard because we want our troops home," said Bill Nelson, a Burbank, California, bookstore owner. "We want the money here for health care and jobs, not a military industrial complex."
The rallies on both coasts were organized by ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) and United for Peace and Justice.
The protest in Washington drew a diverse crowd--young, old, veterans, relatives with loved ones in the armed forces and American Muslims. An activist group of older women called the Raging Grannies, singing anti-Bush songs, brought whoops of agreement from the protesters.
Organizers estimated that 100,000 people turned out for the demonstration, but police at the scene put the number much lower, from 10,000 to 20,000. Police no longer issue official crowd estimates, so the size of the protest could not be verified.
Waving signs reading "Make Jobs Not War" and "Bush is a liar," the protesters marched from the White House, down toward the White House, on to the Justice Department and then back to the Washington Monument.
But the activists were not afforded the symbolic satisfaction of yelling protests to the White House gates, because the Secret Service put up barriers to keep them from marching directly in front of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Bush was spending the weekend at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.
Michael McPhearson, a veteran from the 1991 Persian Gulf War, denounced the president, saying he had misled the nation. "You have butchered the truth, George Bush."
