I had a teacher like that too. But since I had an HP and most people didn't, when she came around, I just went to my 'Library' and showed her that there was nothing there. And of course she didn't know the difference between 'Library' and 'Mem[ory]'.
(If you're not familiar with the HP, all your games are usually under the 'Mem[ory]' option, and on the 48G which I had, the Library was always blank because it couldn't take memory cards).
Done. I've e-mailed you the required cash, and I must say I feel very jipped. I thought I was going to get an insightful response, but I guess not, oh well.
There were two comments here when I posted my previous message, and now they're gone, even at -1 and my comment is the only one there. What happened to them? There was one at +1 and it wasn't off topic or anything and it's gone. Has anyone else seen this problem?
it won't run Linux? Then what good is it?:). If I can't get QLinux for it, then why should I bother?
Who's going to pay that??!

$1200 Cheap!

Who would actually pay 1200 bucks for a game console system? I didn't even spend that on my computer which probably has a bit more power and will run a lot more games. I think Microsoft is definatly pricing themselves out of the competition and hopefully the XBox will die a miserable death because of it. Hmmm, but maybe not after all, their operating systems are way overpriced, but they seem to be doing well in that market. I suppose it just depends on the marketing.
If it's the same chain of La Haciendas we had in Charleston, SC then I wouldn't be surprised if they got raided by immigration. They claimed to have 'authentic mexican cuisine' and they had the best mexican food I've ever found in the states. But they got raided because their employees were illegal immigrants, which explained why the food was so good:). Fortunately they have reopened and I'm assuming they're legal now, but they still have really good food, so I gotta wonder...
I clicked on that second link and it rebooted my computer, WTF? How the hell did it do that? Why wasn't there a warning 'Following this link will reboot your computer'?!?! I lost my changes to my thesis I was working on, and I'm pissed! I just figured I'd check out slashdot real quick and my computer rebooted, that sucks! Oh well, screw that, next time I'll make sure to close all my programs before checking slashdot, thanks guys.

Quake 4 Announced

Imagine, a game that has the fear factor of Doom, the physics of Q2, and the eye candy of Q3. I can hope, can't I?
You aren't the only one hoping buddy. If they could create a game like that, it would be the first fps I've bought since Doom2. I've played Quake2 and it was fun, but not enough for me to actually go out and buy it. Fun to play every now and then at a friends house, but not enough to actually buy.
The fear factor of Doom is what made me love it, and the quake series just hasn't had that. Doom is the only game that can make me jump 5 feet out of my chair and cause me physically look around.
enemies that made me afraid to play the game alone at night.:)
I think you must be thinking of doom. That game had some enemies that would make me afraid to play with the lights off. Even after I stopped playing I could still hear the snarlling crackle of an imp right behind me. I haven't had the same reaction to any other fps I've ever played, doom was just a classic. I sure hope doom3 returns to the origional doom style in terms of gameplay and setting, and isn't too quakeish.
Why do we need two links to the article? I would think one link would be enough. At first I thought they were different articles, but I guess not. Oh well
I agree. I love yahoo mail, much more than hotmail. Not to mention the fact that I can check my yahoo mail from home with a pop3 client or have all mail forwarded to another address and thus use my yahoo address as a permanant address. I can't do any of these from hotmail because once the mail gets into hotmail the only way to get it out is to manually forward out each message, what a pain. But my hotmail account does serve a purpose: the spam purpose. It's the only account I give out online that could potentially be picked up by spam bots.
10^4Amps?!?! I don't know about you, but I would prefer not to be anywhere near that much current. I haven't read the paper, but what about arcing? I'm sure safety isn't too much of a consideration since it only takes a few milliamps for a short period of time to stop ones heart.

The way I see it, it isn't even worth a stamp.
How often do you put stamps on your e-mail?

Al Gore for inventing the internet in the first place.
It's because they released some mp3's under the GPL.

Are there any parties planned for the Denver metro area (including Boulder)? If so, drop me a line and give me some details.
You must be thinking of Sunnydale.

Are you the least bit concerned that Microsoft might claim that 'DirectMedia' infringes on it's trademark of 'DirectX', 'DirectSound', etc?
I still think 'Attack of the Clones' is a lot worse than 'Matrix: Reloaded'. Unless you can name half a dozen bad sci fi movies titled ': Reloaded'.
The poor thing probably needs new batteries. Fortunately I was able to get up a mirror on my page at geocities.com/jefffreebsd/humanclock/

That's a very good point. I'm sure then Microsoft will just integrate it into it's next version of Windows and it will therefore be 'innovative'.
You're forgetting mice, keyboards, joysticks, cd-roms, disk drives, etc, they manage a personal computer too.
