How about applying nanotechnology. Make some nanos that eat the asteroid material and convert it into something that does not pose a hazard, such as... I don't know.. mashed potatoes? Whatever, just as long as it would be something that would be dissolved by our atmosphere if it hit and be reduced to nothing. This seems more feasible than playing baseball with the SOBs.

I believe that was an option discussed on the enterprise bridge, but they figured it would be the humane thing to do, by giving them to the klingons. The klingons probably never would have thought of that though.
I would want a choice of what I was using. When I was about 8 or so I made sure my parents knew I wanted a commodore. If your kids care they will tell you. If they don't then maybe they're not ready yet.
At home (dual boot): games, and some multimedia editing software. I could technically do without it, but I keep it around for convenience and because I haven't bought a fancy game system yet so I don't have many new games (just old abandonware windows games and stuff). I keep my windows drive in a drawer outside of my computer because I believe in gremlins and voodoo, and all that.
At work: Specialized Mainframe and Windows based applications that have no linux replacements I guess. That and most of the sysadmins I've talked to have never used linux before.
The stones didn't release thier first single until 1963 though. They didn't really take off until probably after he changed his name right? I wasn't born yet so I can't confirm this.
When my parents went grocery shopping I used to always get them to buy me one of those gazette mags. At that time I didn't understood what the code did, but they had that checksum program to make sure you typed it in right (usually).
There was this one game I remember that was like an RPG that was several pages long. It took forever to type it all in by chicken peck typing. When I was done I ran the checksum and it passed so I saved it all to cassette tape which ended up messing it up and the whole thing got screwed and I think that was the first time I really lost it.
There was also one program I also remember in an october issue (I think) that made this face animate into a werewolf face. When I got it running I stuck the monitor in my window for halloween.
The rest of the 80's I think I spent playing flight sims and reading the choose your own adventure type books.
"Created by Technos, Japan and licensed for release in the US by Taito"
I don't know who Technos is or if they are part of nintendo, or if their is validity to this alleged wrongdoing, but I wouldn't put it past anyone to do this.
Real punks don't call themselves punks anymore, just like the real hackers don't call themselves hackers because the word developed so much crap associated with it and there are stereotypes. Go figure.
I got it still in the box with instructions too. Some guy got in trouble for running like a porn BBS or something (or so they said), and some lady (I think his landlord) was selling all his stuff on the porch. My friend lived down the street from him and we found it while rummaging. Unfortunately she left most of the stuff out in the rain, and that was one of the only things still in a box that survived. I'm not positive it was 1993, but I think that is close.
I use console apps in an enlightenment pager window only, anything over 800x600 on a 14" monitor makes me squint, and none of the games that I have been interested in have required 3D. True, some have required direct X and such to play (such as axis and allies, which I also play in windows), but no 3D card was required. For the record though, the card was a pain in the butt to get to work in windows. The default refresh rates were all screwed up, etc. For X it set up flawlessly. I think I've been using it in X since the hamm release of debian.
It is a TGUI 9440 AGI (ISA), and it came with 2 MB, but I broke one by accident by stepping on it trying to put the first one in. Right now with the 1MB, my X Windows is running. My XF86Config says I am using depth 16, and 800x600, and it works ok in 256 too, but if I increase the resolution or color depth it goes crazy.
My 1MB trident SVGA card works just fine. Enlightenment looks great in 800x600x16bit, and I play alpha centauri, starcraft, freeciv, etc. And I have been using it day and night since around 1993 without it melting, and with no noisy cooling fans. Considering it cost me one buck, I think that it is not a bad bargain.
I'm in a large company that uses the passgo single sign on product for synchronizing novell, domain and mainframe passwords. It goes down constantly, and often will not synchronize domain passwords, and so on. It really sucks, but I'm sure that it handles the brunt of the synchronizations. If linux could replace the mainframe apps (yeah right), then maybe we could use a better product but I'm guessing there are not a lot of options for people still stuck with apps running on S390. Anybody else have any experience with passgo?

They could seek the advice of street bums. They have lots of experience with forming structures from rubble and may provide valuable insight!

OMG, nevermind they mean the other Bill had a different name? I thought that was his real name. Gosh.

They probably don't know how he did it which is why they are wanting him instead of killing him. Either that, or we are getting soft.

Yeah, your probably right. I don't mean to spread rumours, I just believed it at first since someone that worked there told me.
And after a little searching I found:

I don't know who Technos is or if they are part of nintendo, or if their is validity to this alleged wrongdoing, but I wouldn't put it past anyone to do this.
My source of that info was a nintendo playtester.
Considering they stole the game Double Dragon from a kid when he submitted it to them to try and get a job.
