Yep, just like he's talking about, just not with the old computer mags. I saw that a lot when I did some project in fifth grade (1989-1990) that involved cutting pictures out of old magazines my teacher had saved. Can't remember which, but probably women's magazines of some type.
I was one of the lucky many who got a free Cr-48. I've used it pretty much every day since December 2010; as others have noted, it makes a wonderful second computer, or a "don't care" travel laptop, or something that your relative with a porn/click ALL THE LINKS habit can't break.
The '48 is crap for playing movies, though; anything more than 360p resolution is annoyingly choppy. Probably a non-Atom Chromebook would do just fine.
You don't really need a middleman to print; you could pay for a new printer instead.:P Some printers speak a protocol that lets a Chromebook print "directly" over the Internet.
IIRC it'd been basically Windows-centric since several months after Windows 95's release. After that point I stopped seeing anything about MS-DOS or OS/2.
I had a subscription to PC World for a few years in the mid '90s. It was a pretty good mag back then, although even then I could detect a bias towards corporate purchasing types in at least some of the content. As time went on it had less content and more ads. My mother bought me a couple issues fiveish years ago and there wasn't much left of what I remembered. It'd gotten dumbed-down quite a bit, but that probably has something to do with the democratization of computing.
It's true - the 4th Amendment's protections don't apply to alleged drug offenses, so says case law. You can lose your possessions without trial if it's because the local plod thinks you're selling illegal drugs.
There's nothing intrinsically wrong with doing it on a TV with a set-top box so long as the TV's got enough resolution. No reason to support anything less than 720p these days, since the 'net has moved on.

Except Mr. Wannabe Cop with his CCW chased down an innocent kid for no reason and the encounter led to the kid's death. Morally, he's a murderer.
"He'll never have another job."
The NRA or Fox News could find a spot for him, I'd wager.
AHAHAHAHAHA.
Yes, it's hopeless.
Since when does Slashdot have credibility? At all?

Go home, Alex Jones, you're drunk.
New? New? Mags have been doing that since at least the late '80s and probably before that.

You mean the Time Cube?
I first read that as "pirate school".
Your mom does it with a 5-bit TTY.
This article will have mature and reasonable discussion, let me tell you.

Don't bother, then. I've done web browsing on a TV connected to an ordinary PC running Windows many times and it's not horrible.

Napoleon wasn't using breechloaders, idiot.
Caseless ammunition exists but tends to be problematic.
Consumer-priced CGI. Very few people could afford an SGI workstation in those days.
We have a winner right here, folks.
