You guys are forgetting about the great selection of multiplayer browser-based games that are growing in popularity more then any other branch of games. These can easily be played by any linux computer with a net connection. Games like Planetarion, Archmage, Dominion, Ominix, Utopia are all browser based and each have 10s to 100s of thousands of users. Massively Multiplayer Turn Based Strategy Games will bring linux into the marketplace by telling us game developers that if you want to get more of the pie, you got to developer for linux. I have a list of these games at my website www.mpogd.com which is a directory of 500 or so online multiplayer games, about 1/2 of them are able to run on a linux machine.

Wish Court TV provided nerdy cases like this, instead of all those murder trials. When these cases that can practicly bankrupt large and powerful companies on the net happen, they effect us all instead of some guy who shot 2 people in Hickville, (Insert State Here) Although these two are not the guys handling my tracking and banner ads I don't know which one i'd be rooting for, seeing that support for the lesser of two evils is still supporting evil.
Oh how I remember the summer of '89 when i popped in final fantasy and beat that tough (I was 6...) rpg. Final Fantasy 1's music was probably the best NES music of all time, and has been the inspiration for most of the series songs. I like the updated orchestrated versions of classics because it shows what we could have done if we had the equipment back in the day, and it brings back the memories of the games we loved. The best thing about music back in that day was that because there wasn't enough memory to hold entire songs, it would use tricks to keep few minute songs doing different things after hours of play. Come on, how many of you popped in a game, refused to press start to see how fast mega man's beat would go if you left it going till midnight.
There are small computers with about an 8 inch lcd display selling at circut city for 200$. They connect to the net, and are wired so you can only use the manufacturer's isp and pre-installed programs. The thing is though that the motherboard has a pci spot, and a somewhat removable hard drive. By getting out the old soder gun, and by setting up a very small distrib of linux on it (has been done already, so it is possible) you can wire it to play mp3s on your car. I don't know of any websites with any information about doing this, but there is bound to be one. The reason why the machine costs so little is that they expected to make the money back via isp fees, by not using their isp you are getting a 500 dollar machine dirt cheap. The only place I've seen these are at circut city, and there probably isn't that many around so I'd snatch one up before they stop selling these hackable versions.
You'll have the paladinmon, slay the dragonmon, but it won't really kill it cause cartoon death makes children want to shoot up their schools. Kids programming has really gone down the crapper these days. Back in my day we didn't have these fancy shmancy Virtual Reality 3d animated shows, we had fraggle rock, and it ruled.

Athlons Sold Out

This is the gamer chip to buy. It goes for about 1/2 the price of intel same clockspeed pentiums, and outperforms it in floating point by far. I know most benchmarks show a 20-30% performance incrase, but when you kick in 3dnow2, with 3dfx drivers mini drivers for amd chips, you get such a gigantic boost in overall 3d performance. I have used and built p3 450-550's and k7 500-700's and taking into count the 500's on each side, I can't see why any gamer would use a pentium. Now in interger performance when compiling and just doing basic photoshop/winamp/irc/loads of other tiny apps, i noticed both responded pretty well (although most of the speed was probably based on ram (which i used the same speed and kind in all the machines).
When it comes to combatability the myth about amd systems nitpicking for ram is somewhat true. With some systems I have seen ram rejected that worked perfectly in p3 systems, but then again those were only 2 systems, and its always a crap shoot when you buy your hardware anyways. Always buy from a place with a decent return policy, so many hardware dealers will sell you returned merchandise (frys) without telling you. Never buy at those computer shows, you will find a lot of athlon and p3 systems that were returned at local shops and sold at so called bargain prices, but are broken.
On a side note pc133 ram is ugly, i don't trust it yet since ive had so many problems with it. Stick to the cheaper pc100, ram speed is not going to increase overall performance in most scenarios, since your system's governor is typically video or ram (amount) related.

Heading to the nearest EB and laughing at anyone who buys a copy. Unfortuantely i was one of the poor souls who downloaded the *gasp* Mwanker demo last summer. It was about as fun as playing quake with severed hands, no input devices, a 14.4 connection through aol, and an electrical device strapped on to your genital of choice with a sensor so that every time you get hit a near fatal jolt shocks you. No I take it back, that would have been more fun.
I sure hope that this offer doesn't go under due to abuse of their offer. Reminds me of the free pc story that was posted earlier. Sure the idea was good, and the execution was bad, but i think some of there undoing was the people who turned off their ads. "Mac's are fast, you just have to be patient."
