how many of those boxes will be set up with red hat after windows XXXP won't install on them, and they don't say what machines will be given and in what condition either (hey, could be a "$2000" 486 they had in the junk closet that wouldn't boot up right you never know) I bet the percentage that the children would actually see of this settlement would be around the percentage that artists see off their CD sales. Then again, is your sould worth free computers. I'd have to call this settlement a sellout. It looks like the DOJ is going to let them off easy, I urge the people in the civil suit not to do likewise.
that they kick packages around on purpose that do not have insurance. There's a good article on UPS about how they like to destroy stuff called "why monitors are like footballs" or another one called "why monitors are like hammers (as in throw)" No, I'm not making this up as I go along, if you look it up you will surely find these articles; moral of the story is don't ship your boxen in a way you wouldn't ship your best friend.
Hell yeah. I've played 7 since '95 and I still haven't beaten it! I got around to beating Wizardry 6 though;0. It's great to see that one of the greatest games ever is up to 8. I had the baddest party too, untill my drive got formatted. Level 35 characters who could kill fiereos, demons and such in one shot! Never quite got around to beting the game though:( I need to see if I've got an old savegame SOMEWHERE to import into 8, which is way overdue by the way. On my CD, I have a Preview for Wizardry 8 that says it's out in summer of 99! I sure hope the extra time means they did things right. Man, I think I'll have to play 7 tonight.
The idea that GB camera can do IR is more incredible to me. imagine it, GB night vision! I imagine there'll be someone who read that and is hacking it up as I type this =)
Even though my philosiphy is that every distro can be made into what's needed, slackware was one of the easiest to do this with. Many distros are X oriented by default these days (needn't I say Open"Linux") which is something that drives me nuts because it requires even more tweaking before you get it to where it's comfortable. Slackware is also one of the last large distributions to use gzipped tared files, I beleieve even SuSE switched over to RPM a while ago. (Last ver I used of SuSE was 4.4.1, it was a quality distro, I liked it as much as slack myself) Slackware was one of the last large distros that wasn't try to go "desktop." Even though I think this hurt them in the market, I also think this is what made them so popular among "professionals" and "elitists," the very people who don't care if it looks good. I'll be sticking with 8 I guess untill something better comes along and just patching up. Anyone got a good bead on a nice replacment distro that's got the style of slack?
.95 is really fast
on
Netscape 6.2

· Score: 2, Insightful
I use it on win32, it's really fast especially when loaded into memory in advance, regardless it's really fast. Almost comparable to IE, and unlike NS4 it's fairly stable in Win 9X.
I think it'll be around for a while however, considering I have 15 8088s that won't take windows XP and I've got 20 IBM DOS 3.3 floppies. DOS has served me well through the years, First machine in '89 was a tandy 1000, boy could that thing cruise for a machine with 512K.;) Yeah, back then you were lucky to hvae a 25 meg Hard drive, but we had the dual floppies that were so popular at the time. To the probable panic of many in here, we didn't even have 3D games like doom, quake, hexen or wolfinstien (the earliest I saw, around 95) I still use win95 because it doesn't corrupt stuff nearly as badly as 98 or ME does, I have a few DOS games that just refuse to run on it, which probably is their reason for dumping it. Oh well, enough of this rant.
It's from personal experience, at this rate the mere act of me powering up my 1.2 tbird would have fried it (I've had it foolishly powered up without a sink before) and the chip still runs, even though the damned KT-133A chipsetted board won't let me do 266 FSB. Anyone got a fix for a Tyan Trinity KT-A so it'll do 266 without crashing at the BIOS boot screen?
Anyone tried getting someone to drink some of this liquid and trying to catch them with a large magnet;). On the serious side, Dan's data appears to have ben slashdotted.
If that's true, then it should make internet streaming a lot better for modem users such as myself, and more plausible for people to stream off lower end cable and DSL lines, possibly even off dual ISDN in a very limited capacity. 16K is fine for radio shows, but being able to actually do something while listening would be really nice.
I started out on one of those Tandy 1000s with 512 RAM, it was amazing what you could do without hard disk space.:) Man, we probably wasted hundreds of hours on that thing, playing all sorts of stuff before quake or doom or hexen or the likes were even ideas in someone's head. Ever since I've had some wierd deal with the 8088, I've got 1/2 dozen of em right now, I need to get some HDDs to throw on em.
That sound has become a part of me. Whenever the power goes out in my room (I didn't do it, honest!) It'll cause my to jump up at 5:00 or whenever it happens, it freaks me out when I hear all my hard drives spinning down at once, especially since most of em are from the 80s and louder than ever.
Not exactly. For the most part despite their claims they know exactly what their children are doing, and they'll scapegoat it on someone else too. I should know. A few years back this kid tried to kick my ass (it was more of a draw than not) and I defended myself accordingly. Well, his mom was at school and you know what she did? She started yelling at me asking ME why I had started a fight with him even though I was attacked first. Not to mention that teachers are entering the data. The guy who ran the class was an ignorant jerkoff who couldn't prevent a fight if he was told it was coming. Another case I got kicked in a class, but an adult who was a friend of the family saw it. He was a teacher visiting the school, and when he told the guy he didn't say or do anything. we must realize these problems start with ignorance and end with the truth, something that will not happen as long as teachers play the role of ignorant fools and try to sweep it under the carpet. My pardon to the many good teachers out there who do care and do their best to provide children with a good education, this was not addressed to you.
For those of you who didn't know there was an Ultima 0. It aw a game called alkabetha. I have fond memories of playing it on my apple ][ back in the days when I was a lad. It's around in a DOS port and BASIC I think, It's a good play and I reccomend it. Since I just got another Apple ][ I may have to break it out (i've got my disks somewhere around here)
A banker would have a payment plan so they would eventually get all their money back. They MAY give a person a break untill they get back on their feet, but they'll still want all of their money regardless. The more likely thing is that they'll repo whatever the person signs to the loan. (house, car, eternal soul etc.)
Lets say I owed someone money for a house or a car I bought. If I was to run into hard times, say I took a nasty paycut or something, would it be an excuse to have the amount of my loan reduced? Heck no! I made an agreement with the second party or parties that I would pay them back X dollars, and X dollars is what I owe them. Just because I've hit hard times doesn't mean I shouldn't live up to my responsibility. Somone said in an above post that they bought out blah blah blah ad network. If this is true, then what they are doing amounts to pure greed. They're trying to have it all, at their customer's expense. This should be tried criminally under breech of contract laws as far as I'm concerned, if they're going belly up then they should just come out and declare they're dead in the water and bankrupt then try to fullfill the obligations to their customers.
Even though I'm not a fan of converting digital stuff into paper format, I find Dot matrix printers to be the best for cheap printing. You can get one for free or for $10-15 at a thrift shop, the ribbons last much longer than ink jet carts while not costing $300 like a toner cart and they make that beautiful noise that drowns out the ten billion fans I have running on my boxen.
"We should examine the progress of the Internet to understand the landscape of the software industry today and how intellectual property fits into that landscape." Last I checked Apache web server held a majority portion of the market, and it's open source. I guess that means that opensource reigns supreme by his words. I take no liability for the words said in this rant. =)
This is the plan I've got. I'm gonna have around 5-8 dumb terms that connect to my UN*X based box via a serial splitter. I'll run the serial cables back to my box (get basic wiring, that book has some nice illustrations on fishing cable and will get you started) And from there I'm gonna have another 8 relay controller on my machine. This will be activated via serial (go look up stuff on this, mine's gonna be homebrew but I've seen em out there) that will turn on and off my sound, and mabye some lights. (this is still in the works, very much so) The dumb terms will be for something like MPG123, and one set of relays will be to turn sound on/off in areas of the house, so I can listen to MP3s anywhere I have the speakers turned on. Another thing to check out is the Linux remote control project, but I forget the URL.
Someone needs to hack Wizardry like this, now there's classic RPGing. What's the possibility of burning this to a cart if one wanted too, I think the ROM in it's propritary. Time to open some old nintendo carts and find out. Right now I'm too lazy to look up the chips when I find out and like I was saying I think they are propritary, anyone got the pinouts on em already? Mabye someone should try to get their nintendo running CP/M or UZI or something cool like that, since it's Z-80.
written by Paladin Press writen about how to convert a microwave into a weapon? Not to mention when was the last time anyone stuck a for or something metal into a microwave. How do they plan on avoiding setting the world on fire or detonating hand grenades these people carry when they shoot off sparks?
I'd say use a 5Y3 GT rectifier or something like that if one was to build a project such as this, pretty big tube, common and since it's a diode tube it doesn't have all the stuff in it to melt down.
In the article it mentions that "It isn't because we were worried about negative privacy publicity. If it was, we would have changed (the name) months ago," Why change the name at all then if you aren't concerned? "Carnivore" will stick I bet, regardless of whatever it's renamed.

Heh, those I-Opener thingies that everyone used to love to get had a winchip 180 in em.
