Do you really need to know the outcome? Thought not.
Anyway, Why in the H-e-doublehockeysticks would anyone waste their time porting Linux to the N64??!!?? It makes my head hurt just thinking about it!! Sure, N64 has great graphics, but what ya gonna do with it once you've ported Linux?? Run a network server?? Actually... that would be interesting... Yeah right. If anything, why not port Linux to Playstation? or Dreamcast? or Atari 2600 for crying out loud (I better find mine!)!? But if Mr. T WERE to port Linux to N64, then I might go out and buy one. ^_^
Wow... if they can actually get OpenGL under Linux, a lot of people I know will make the switch. But what about the games? With Q3 and Unreal:Tourny being for Windows, what'll be on Linux? I've played Linux versions of Doom, but not Quake or similar titles. But I'm sure someone out there can make the port. Say... if this does happen... Maybe my 80286 will still be useful afterall... WOO HOO!! YEAH YEAH YEAH!! ^_^
Congratulations to the WWW and this accomplishment (Those of you who run or are members of porno sites: You don't deserve it). However, with the increasing number of homepages on the internet, who in the heck is gonna keep track of them all?? I am fully aware of the different directories and search engines, but they have such stringet rules for Link Submission, it discourages many newbies from starting a webpage. I am also fully aware of the necessity of the META tags required, but then there's also many other criteria that I don't think anyone is really aware of. I have repetedly e-mailed Yahoo! and Excite for or if they have a criteria list for homepage submission, only to wind up with a reply from an automated service, then never hear from them again!! Luckily, my news of my webpage gets around Via word of mouth, not on some search engine, but I'm going to change that.
But keeping track of all these billions of pages, will be difficult, and sooner or later, people are going to demand satisfaction! (Slap me with that glove again, and I'll give you satisfaction, in a.223 caliber!!)
'It' being tiny foam balls or whatever. Beanie Babies can bring in immense profit for those who want to work at it, but it ain't worth the time or effort in my opinion. Might as well take up day trading. At least I KNOW I might go bankrupt by the end of the day...
Beanie Babies and Pokemon could be put in the same category: Narcotics. Nobody wants them, but HAS to have them to 'survive'. I think Garfield said it best; "I don't know, even if I did know, I don't think I want to know." All this fuss over a bunch of tiny stuffed figures is a waste of time and money (unless you are a professional collector, then you're wasting your life, in my opinion). It's sad actually... but it's something we as consumers have to deal with. God, just thinking about this stuff makes my head hurt... I need some Nuprin...
Alright, I'm gonna be a bit whiny here, but with good reason!! So read on...
1) I want the ORIGINAL my.MP3.com back!! I want my lists of songs I downloaded from MP3.com!!
2) Streaming is cool, but the CD playlist thing is... not needed, unless you are a frequent user, which I am not (I have a life off the computer, you know).
and
3) Let MP3.com be MORE customizable, Like SlashDot! Wow... That would be cool!!
Just kidding. Actually, it's my belief that if the Lander did make it, but something went wrong. My guess is that it IS infact transmitting... only into the dirt. There is a strong possibility (and my friends believe it the most plausible) that the attena is buried in Martian soil. Another theory that I have tinkered with, is that it's descent system failed to activate or activated improperly, causing some damage to a vital system.
My brother believes that they forgot to charge the batteries. Wouldn't that be a hoot?
But whatever the case may be, it's episodes like this that make the US government less likely to fund future Mars Mission Projects. NASA will have to start delving into the private sector for funding (which is already happening in Europe I believe), and will make Space an Industry, not a Scientific Study.
Maybe then, Pan-Am will make a comeback, and we will find a monolith!! AND MAYBE HAL WILL BECOME A REALITY!! You all know why he almost killed everyone in 2001, right? He wasn't Y2K compliant! ^_^
I recall playing the Marathon games... In my opinion (which not many people seem to care about) it was Doom all over again. The story whoops ass and the graphics are great!! Nuff said.
Yet I keep talking. Of course, I played these games emulated at my friends house on his p266 (this was before I got my p166 and only had an 80286). With the release of this source code, we could very well see an influx of cool mods and such, like for Q2 and hopefully soon Q3. I really should find those games and get them out again and play em through... Ah, memories. ^_^
Oh hell yeah!! Linux runs on an 80286 like Q3 does on a pIII 450: No problems. And actually, it has much more efficient memory usage, and with only 2 mb of mem, I need all I can get. Plus it makes a dandy server!! ^_^
Ah... yet another really kick ass cool and spiffy sweet awesome Star Wars Spoof. Reminds me of instant classics such as 'Troops' and 'George Lucas in Love' (I've actually met the guy who came up with that idea, plus I know someone who KNOWS him, and no I'm not kidding). But you have to commend these people who put in the time and effort to make these great spoofs. I haven't seen this particular one yet, but as with the many others out there it has to be hilarious. ^_^
In my opinion there's no contest: If this thing is for real (which I pray to God it is) then Linux might chew Windows up and spit it out. Being a user of DOS-similar apps for 13 years, I simply can't WAIT when Linux becomes standard and everytihng else simply GOES TO HELL. But if this company CAN challenge the AMD Athlons and Intel Pentium III's, then things are going to get very interesting in the way of price wars and the availability of low cost copmuters.
But what about me? I own an 80286. Yes, you read that right, an 80286 that runs Linux. I use it as a network hub, and it whoops ass (I have better). Linux and Windows both have their advantages, but for some reason, I think Linux is just more dandy (Actually, I'm partial to MS-DOS 6.2, but who cares?). Of course, you must remember, that if Linux DOES become a standard, it is my belief that Red Hat will lead the way. Why do I say this? Cause anything is better than Gnu. ^_^
A List of things to NOT to Try: 1) Rebound off, or try to run up walls. 2) Do cartwheels and try to pick up and Fire an M-16 accuratlety, or blindly. 3) Fire a Minigun (10,000 rounds/minute) into a room when trying to save a hostage. It just doesn't work that way!! 4) Enter a secure builiding wearing various models of Uzi's, H&K MP SMG's, and various other firearms. They WILL stop you before you can act. 5) Do Not wear A leather tank top 24x7. It'll squish and begin to rub after 4 hours. How do I know all this? Well, I've fired a minigun, i've fired Uzi's and H&K MP SMG, and many pistols and rifles. If the Matrix did exist, we'd probably have cracked the code by now. Plus I wouldn't leave this earth EVEN IF I knew about life on the 'Outside' (I'd miss my Arbies roastbeef sandwiches)!! Life is a game, it all depends on how you play. Cheaters need not apply, cause you're already going to hell. But I do agree with the philosophy aspect of the Matrix. Actually, when it was just getting started, it sounded a lot like... well... Star Wars, episode 1. But being the computer geek I am and since no one probably will take the time to read my posts, I post whatever comes to my mind which is usually some insanse drivel that just seems natural. Either that, whenever I dream, I log on to the Matrix... Oh shoot, we're going to Send...
Well... If I could be a spy, then the world's already screwed. I'm sure Q wouldn't give me an exploding pen, or a pen that writes in in ink for that matter, cause I can make any common house hold item a dangerous object. For example, an exploding penguin on top of the telly that doesn't explode. Instead it changes the channel.
It's a dry martini, shaken and not stirred, but since I don't drink, I'll probably water the plants with it. Plus I haven't gotten any nookie in the past 8 years, so of course I won't qualify for health benefits. The dental plan is out of the question, and instead of an Aston Martin, I'll probably wind up with a second rate 1989 Volvo Station Wagon. Sure it's a lot less conspicuous, but how the hell am I supposed to pick up those really hot and busty female spies??? I'd have a better time getting it from Money Penny...
But as far as spying goes, I say this: I ORDERED A CHEESE BURGER!!
