i humbly submit this isn't possible anymore. all of the historical advances made by hobbyists were done decades ago, involving simple concepts. all advances today are not simple, but require the support of an advanced facility, simply because all of the fundamental, simple advances in chemistry have already been scoured
As the head of the patent office (supposedly) said in 1899, "Everything that can be invented has been invented."
I HOPE the reference wan't to shrek. Gee, kids these days.
Since you are apparently concerned: I had no idea it was in Shrek. I knew it was originally written by Cohen, and I also think Buckley's version is the best.:)
My MUD addiction of choice was AlexMUD, one of the first Dikus after the original. Good times. I think it's still around, though sadly without many players left.
Here I figured "Windows 7" actually made sense. But if the kernel is only 6.1, then never mind. Don't know why I would assume MS would do something that made sense.
95 = 4.0 98 = 4.1 ME = 4.9 2000 = 5.0 XP = 5.1 Vista = 6.0
So I assumed if they're calling it "Windows 7", that this was going to be 7.0. Oh well.
So, they constructed a generation ship in orbit, disassembled all traces of their civilization and vamoosed. They're out in the OORT cloud somewhere, trying to decide whether they're going to continue on to Proxima or return to Earth and whoop ass.
I hope they come back. I get bored sometimes.

That's only if you consider "designer clothes" to be "good taste", which a fair amount of people would not.
But I suppose that's true for anything. So I guess the goal is to appeal to other people who also like designer clothes, in the same way that a case mod making your computer look like the Death Star appeals to people who like Star Wars and case mods.

My wife's Macbook is the only computer that I've ever seen suspend correctly.
Don't browse at -1, do you?
So, this?
I probably signed up in late '99, and mine is in the low six digits (106xxx)... if I had just been a month or so quicker I could have gotten 5 digits!
lol. wish i had mod points.

I've got a book that you might be interested in.

That David played, and it pleased the lord,
but you don't really care for music, do you?
Prodigy, eh? How much do you think I can get for clvp10a?
No, Slashdot has cruisers.

EA is the anti-Midas: they touch gold and it turns to shit.
They just liked "Seven". It's got cachet up the yin-yang!
And Windows 97, as well.
And this is 6.1. If you're ignoring 2000->XP, then why are you counting Vista->Seven?

They mention Abort, Retry, Fail as somehow more memorable than the original Abort, Retry, Ignore, which I'd disagree with.
I seem to remember a few times getting all four: Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail. Ah, DOS.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Thank you for getting that out of the way early. :)

Those jobs aren't going to India.
Vegetables aren't food, vegetables are what food eats.
Surely a rat brain would be an improvement over the standard politician's brain.
