Infidel !!! Heathen !!! Blasphemer !!! Everyone knows that the Amiga was the best 68k computer ever produced, with the Atari ST a close runner-up.
You know... I'd have to agree.. and I was an ST owner... didn't get to see what the fuss on the Amiga was all about till I played with UAE. The GUI defiantly takes some getting used to tho!:)
Well, actually I had a few profs who'd mastered speaking in a monotone as well... I should of recorded thier lectures and used speech recog to create lecture notes! *D'OH*
Current student: try this...let us know if it works!;o)
Japan had the High Speed Surface Transport train at Expo86 in Vancouver, BC, Canada wich was a maglev system. Heck, I *rode* in it, so this is definatly NOT the first maglev system.
Of course you are correct... anyone who would dispute it's an idiot!;o)
Doesn't work under Linux nor Windows nor a Mac (emulator) tried and confirmed. You can easily read those.vob's off a Region 0 disc, of which I have a couple from the National Film Board of Canada. Matter of fact the cartoon guy playing scrabble on the homepage is on one of the discs... and so is The Cat Came Back, my personal favourite.
I really hope this "technology" doesn't make it into hard drives... or I'll be stocking up on some before the old ones go away, or wait 'till it's cracked.
Well I did a couple searches on some key phrases in your post with google and altavista and got no matches...
...so I read it all. I agree with some of the basic priciples of what you say, however, I think you are anthromorphising too much. An AI wouldn't have the same environment us humans do... it wouldn't necessarily even have "feelings" the same way, if any. Emotion is something we know exists in intelligent mammals, AI's will be something quite unique.
I think the merging of silicon and flesh is on the not to far horizon... say 20yrs'ish. Medical science is on so many interesting thresholds and exploring so many new ideas. No, I don't have links, sorry.:(
Change is good, if you look at where the human race was about 100 years ago, then look where we got in 50yrs... then compare that 50 to the next and imagine what 25 years from now will be like.
I'm using my 1600SW with the nVIDIA GeForce2 chipset. The card, a 3D Prophet II 64mb, has a digital out, but it only works in three modes. However, the MultiLink does a great job of converting the signal... pure digital is better tho.
I can do nothing more then give my approval for an 1600SW. And if you get an nVIDIA card just change all the 1600x900 entries in the.inf file with 1600x1024. Works great, even in DirextX games!
Sigh, did you even click the link? I can't even see an IBM logo on the page anywehre? Or do you assume because IBM is in the domain name it's thier site?
This comes up every time a patent story is posted, the site is a patent/ip database created/hosted by IBM. It's not IBM's business site.
Well as someone who once worked for Radio Shack in Canada I can say that they definatly ask you for your name and address for thier lovely mailing address and the system dials out nightly to head office to update inventory and to send new member information to the central computer. I alway refuse to give them any information.
I had one sales guy tell me that I *had* to give my name and address. My reply was "well then I gues I don't have to purchace your product". The manager overheard and, of course, I bought my product and was entered as John Doe:o)
Actually the memory sticks are white and use the "MagicGATE" technology (SDMI). I purchaced the memory stick walkman and promptly returned it within about two days due to seriously crappy music management software and just general crappiness of the system. For some reason thier VAIO MusicClip with inbuilt 64mb ram can play MP3's and Sony's ATRAC3 format (once wrapped in SDMI compliance that is). However, the MS Walkman only accepts ATRAC3 so you have to convert your MP3s to this format and thus loose a bit of quality. Overall I was very dissapointed with the software used to implement SDMI, the MS Walkman itself ROCKED, if only it would of played raw MP3's:o(
Hey thanks for the excellent link, I had heard this 'joke' before but no one could explain where it came from. If I had moderator status I'd defiantly bump this up:o)
C'mon ppl, it looks like he *did* do his bit in creating what we all take for granted today... he should get bragging rights. Also, don't believe the hype, research your info.

Now that is a scary though... *shudder*

There is no "411" in the UK... it's 192 here. ;o)
If only I had some mod points, you would get some for the Gates Character Sheet link... ...fantastic bit of work by The Onion! :o)
Or coder... :)
My SW1600 was the last batch made with the old cube logo... the new ones have the new logo on 'em it seems. Guess this makes it more valuable! ;o)
So for now, I'm just going to work on building my own Electronic Thumb, try to be nice to people, and hope for the best.
:o)
Well, if you get that Thumb working please, for the love of God, email me. I wanna hitch a ride.
Oh yes, and make sure you bring your towel!

Would you like to play a game? _
Get the MultiLink Adapter and that problem goes away. You get all modes full screen, and it does an excellent job zooming them as well.

Not installed and the file associations for the visual basic script (and compressed version) have been removed! :o)
Not to mention the bad grammer, lack of punctuation and just general crappiness of flash. Sigh.
