First Commodore 64 LAN Party
Leif_Bloomquist writes "The world's first Commodore 64 LAN party was held at the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club 2008 Expo last weekend, where the new multiplayer C64 game NetRacer was unveiled. The setup consists of up to eight Commodore 64s with Ethernet cartridges and a central server written in Java running on a PC. The game is also playable over the Internet."
Is New Zealand a terrorist country or something? I got this:

The reason girls and Windows users don't understand UNIX is because all the documentation is in Man files.

Vista must be pretty bad if people are switching to C64.
btw, http://www.c64web.com/ [c64web.com] is hosted on a c64.
And after posting that on /., there is now one less functioning c64 in the world.
C64 porn? Sigh. Back to tits that look like they're made out of Legos.

Possibly one of the best uses of the Redundant mod tag I have yet seen.
Back about 1986, I actually surfed the net on a Commodore 128.
The local community college got a spanking new server hooked up, and students were allowed to dial in in to get schedules, some class material, whatever. (I think it was still Arpanet back then, but it was years before World wide web)
Anyway, I logged in (at a whopping 1200 baud), looked around (After a bit of tweaking, Commodore had lowercase and capitals switched in ascii, plus none standard characters) and actually made it to a few net sites. (IBM, some national Community college site, a couple of others)
Wasn't interested, it was slower than most BBS's I could get to, had almost no graphics (and none that I could view), and no content I was interested in at the time, So I logged off and didn't get back to the net until 1998. Things sure changed in a dozen years!
Oh, I wasn't a student there, just heard about it and was curious. Online security? Some things haven't changed much!
The U.S. really needs an English to Wisdom dictionary.
