If you play console while it's making breakfast it won't scream "What are you doing?! Don't touch me!"
You can eat your breakfast without the console whining to you.
If breakfast is cold you can beat the console without feeling guilty.
You can demand beer for breakfast and the console won't complain.
If you throw out the console it won't hire a lawyer to take half your stuff.
Man, if RealDoll.com could "converge" this new console concept with their products they'd be trillionaires.
Please follow her advice.

Let the weenies that hate their work slack away. When the annual review comes up the people that take pride or work hard will move ahead. Then the weenies will bitch about not being liked, etc. ANYTHING but looking in the mirror and taking responsibility for their place on the ladder.
Cost is a big one. Also using some of the product generated via university and research supported by tax dollars is another. Why not use what they've paid for?
Dark Engine games work perfectly on my game box with Win2k. All I had to do was enable a command line option on installation (-forcentlg or something) No idea how they work under XP.
I have a solitary Windows machine at home for gaming. Lots of nice hardware to play great games. Until I can get Thief (1, 2, Deadly Shadows), Half Life, System Shock (1, 2), etc on Linux I'll be keeping my Windows machine for that purpose.
Before the fanboys start yelping about Quake/Doom3 being out for Linux: I don't care. I want the lowest common denominator for my gaming and that's Windows.
There aren't enough high quality games focused on the single player as it is.
For a superb single player gaming experience may I suggest Thief, Thief 2 and Thief: Deadly Shadows? Doom 3 is pretty creepy but it's more of a monster-jumps-out-then-you-poo scary. The level "Shoalgate Cradle" in Thief:DS is pure scary atmosphere. Google for it, I'm not alone in that opinion.
It's the classic trickle-down military economy at work. Dump billions into military development and eventually the discoveries find their way into society. Not much more than corporate welfare but it starts a few levels higher.
search your favourite P2P network for things like ".XLS". When you find some that are obviously not intended for public viewing then look at the person's shared files for more goodies.
I answered 2 incorrectly as Fraud to get an 80% score
so I lose 2 geek points but gain them back for erring on the side
of caution. Actually I never bother with HTML mail and just skip
it. That hasn't bit my butt yet.
What JFK should have said was "I believe this nation should commit
itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on
the moon and returning him safely to the Earth with pictures that will scale
properly as wallpaper on computer monitors not yet invented."

"Should Game Consoles Make Breakfast, Too?"
Not a bad idea:
If you play console while it's making breakfast it won't scream "What are you doing?! Don't touch me!"
You can eat your breakfast without the console whining to you.
If breakfast is cold you can beat the console without feeling guilty.
You can demand beer for breakfast and the console won't complain.
If you throw out the console it won't hire a lawyer to take half your stuff.

The only reason was marketting. Remember that cruddy "Internet in a Box"? If you don't capitalize it, you don't have a named brand.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

I keep the sexual harrasment forms in the bottom drawer of my desk. That way when a woman goes to get one I can check out her ass.

I would have had much more in common with my ex-wife.

not that I'd ever do that.

IT's colour schemes are giving me a seizure...
I had to let my fiancee by both a new pair of shoes and a new watch
She doesn't need a new watch, there's a clock on the stove! {rimshot}
I may have to firewall off it.slashdot.org My employer's medical plan doesn't cover retinal damage.
It takes a big man to cry, it takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

We can use whatever gain antenna we wish so long as standard (60 cm) thick igloo ice can contain the signal.
Are they ever not smoking crack?
I've been blacklisted (or something) and haven't been able to mod in ages. Do I have to stop smoking crack?

which could then be queried to find out which IPs are luserish.
Interesting: 66.35.250.150 and 66.35.250.151 are the only entries. Truly uncanny AI.
Whoa, man.. don't bring too much logic into a Trek thread. Your karma is at risk...
