It'd be cool if they had something like AudioGalaxy. I'd settle for DRM infested clips if I had to if it was similar to the way AG worked (except for downloading, which was kinda funky). I "sampled" a bunch of a few bands and then I *shock* went out and bought their cds and signed up for an account at www.emusic.com because I could download em there and the artist still got a cut!
Not all C3 chips are soldered on to the boards. The cheap model computer we sell where I work has a P3 board with a C3 in the socket already, but it's easily removed. Might be different with the newer chips though.
The C3 processor in it is a Cyrix, which is like a Celeron: lower cache, doesn't go as fast as it should. It does run pretty well, but it's not the fastest (I believe Durons go faster, probably Celerons too).
I've tried *nix before. Mandrake, because of the easy installer. I like easy. I'm a full time HS student and I work part-time (borderline full time) at a local crappy computer store. Since school is 7 1/2 hours a day for 5 days, and work is 6 hours a day (average), that is 14 hours (adding in transport time) to an average day. That means I have 10 hours to fit in relaxing (yes, I relax every day. If I didn't, or didn't try to, I would have gone insane before), sleep, food, and a new found social life (I just picked mine up this year). That means I don't have time to go around messing around with my OS to get it how I want (tm). Admittedly, the way my XP machine is now got there after a total of 2 months or so, but they were little changes. Updating releases of software, like my GUI (Blackbox4Windows 0wnz you), as well as configuring obscure software to do cool shit (I have an Intellimouse explorer, where I can change to the next song in Winamp by clicking a side button. The side button is mapped to F11 which then is grabbed by a SW title not being produced anymore (DreamKeys) which then skips the winamp track.).
I use Windows all the time at work, fixing people's computers. Only about three of our business customers have *nix servers, and we have a guy more skilled than me there to cover that. I'm basically paid to remember and know how to get around all of the quirks in various Windowses (If Win98 doesn't boot into normal mode, go into safe mode and then restart. It will then work most likely, unless its another apparent problem).
Now I know this sounds like BS, but last time I tried Linux (Mandrake 8.0 I believe), shit either didn't work (modem, but it doesn't matter), just started working (my printer, HP Deskjet), or stopped working after working once (XMMS didn't output to my soundcard). That and finding the right software for me was a pain in the ass. GAIM was installed with bad settings, which made me have to go ask the help channel, which amazingly DIDN'T flame me. XMMS stopped working, like I said before, which led me to use mpg123 which didn't appear to recurse subdirectories when finding stuff to play and didn't support mods.
I can deal with Mozilla as a browser since it hit 1.0. I can deal with GAIM, because when I got it to work, it 0wned. I hope XMMS is fixed. Now all I need is good CD-R software to burn data and audio, a video player (I hear mplayer is good), image software (I didn't HATE the gimp when I tried it), and that's all I use on a constant basis. That, and if I could get VMWare to work, I'd be set having a virtual XP or 2K machine.
OpenGL is mainly 3-D based, no? Why the HELL do you need that on a desktop that is 2-d? A desktop can't even really be 3-d, anymore so than it is now (with Z-order of windows and whatnot). I seriously doubt it'd be easy and fun to work in a desktop environment where you had to manipulate the mouse around like in Black and White to get to your destination window.
Same thing with DirectX (but I know that's used in 2-d). Someone tell me why it's better to have that than what we have now?
Why is it that we care so fucking much about this? Who gives a damn if our children happen to be different from Joe and Jane's kid. So what, they have problems talking, or adjusting socially. They'll either adapt or fail. If they fail, it's because no one tried to help them with this, or they couldn't do it on their own. So much bullshit that we get about things like this, and there's nothing you can do about it. If there's nothing you can do, why care?
All of my suppliers, last time I checked (2 weeks ago, maybe?) didn't have anything higher than XP 2100, if that, and the 2.6 P4. One of my customers has been waiting for his 2200 for a while now...
I didn't say anything about family. The original poster made it seem like all he did was work, because work generates money for him. He didn't seem to want to do anything that caused him to spend money.
It makes me wonder if MS can legally enact DMCA on the XBOX, since it's an American item? Ignore the fact that it's made in Mexico and other such places. I doubt they can legally, but they will find a way to do it because America = world.
Actually, you can. At the end of last year my school's network was down pretty tight. Blocked sites at the url, IP (the 4 octals and the big long number I forget the correct term for). Although we didn't have NetNanny or anything, as you could clearly go to porn sites (www.ampland.com anyone?), but couldn't access the HD at that time. Still was able to get mail through webmail on a friend's server.
That's actually the standard gaming card I sell in my PCs, it's easily overclockable.
GF4 is expensive all around. Still $350 for a 4600 last time I checked, I'm waiting till I can get a 128mb 4200 for $120 with shipping or the 4600 for $200.

The Yoshi jump was Up+B (Jump) wasn't it?
Isn't it like an ultra version of "find" that spits out the line that the search string is on.

Nine Inch Nails [nin.net]
KMFDM [kmfdm.com]
The Smashing Pumpkins [smashingpumpkins.com]
Came up with Tool (like), A Perfect Circle (like), Marilyn Manson (like), Sound Garden (not heard too much), Alice in Chains (meh).
Not too good, then again the bands aren't that related.

Yes, it does not come with a monitor.

$22.95 for unlimited access, give or take a few bucks.
They don't want their children seeing prawn.
They stayed with their former owners because they didn't want to risk losing a job.
Work conditions weren't much better, if any though, I'd imagine.

Bah, some of us are still starting out. I am not a wire monkey. I am a network media simian!

Err.. I thought it was Eminem Ft/Tupac - Murda Murda, according to my ID3 tag.

And playing it out of a walkman wouldn't?
We're talking about Windows here. BB4Win doesn't have fluxbox tabs yet.
Congrats for not reading what I said.

Yes, I respond to trolls.
Pricewatch lists a few, as well as 256mb ones, but those are virtual texture ones.

Of course, because all of them are always are drugged up and always hurt other people.
What good is money then if everything other than working does the opposite for you?
