But if you want to run Linux you would buy a PC. It's no use buying an X-box just to run Linux on it. And if you want a game console only then maybe you buy a PS/2 or something else. It's the combination game console/Linux that does the trick.
That's not stupid, that's brilliant marketing. The fact that you can run Linux on it will now be a reason to buy an X-box, so MS now earns money with Linux, and it didn't cost them anything! Bill never ceases to amaze me.
I remember playing pong on a game computer a friend of my parents had built himself. That was in the late 70's. I was too young then to realize this was the beginning of a revolution in time-wasting techniques. One year or so later we had a machine that not only could play pong but also a few other ball games. Cool!
Off-topic, I know, but I found your sig interesting. I saw a few documantaries about the Palistinians and looked up up more information. It's amazing: this is a people that has been suppressed and humiliated for more than 3000 years! It all began when the Israelites invaded the 'land of milk and honey' as described in the Bible. That is something to think about...
For disabled people that don't leave the house often it's even more of a godsent than for 'normal' people. Finally they have a cheap and vast and versatile tool for getting and sending information!
You can laugh about this but in the end most software is bought by pointy-hairs who are mightily impressed by features like this. Microsoft knows this better than anyone I guess. So if we want Linux to make it on the desktop we'd better make sure these features are developed soon!
Well, you know, the society of Arthur Dent and Ford prefect was a lot more complicated than that of the old Egyptians. So 'everything' for the old Egyptians is a lot less than for them. Therefore I think for the old Egyptians the answer to life, the universe and everything lies around 35 or so.
Maybe it's good to let Palladium come around. Lots of dissatisfied customers will complain and not buy new hardware for a long time. Hopefully Microsoft will then lose some of its arrogance and start acting normally.
And when they open the next doors they will find a large space extending beyond the outer walls of the pyramid! It contains the answer to life, the universe and everything, written in hyroglyphics all over it's walls...
I heard somewhere that one of the reasons Europe is slow on the uptake of Interenet is that we have had Teletext since the early 80's, and therefore 'instant news' was regarded as not that big a deal here. Don't know if that's true, and another reason will certainly be the high telephone costs here in Europe.
I think I would write a book. A novel about weird things going on just beyond the possibility border. I already know that it's very difficult to write a good novel (from experience) but that's even more reason to try.
Does anyone know what happened to the 'mammoth' Discovery supposedly pulled out of the ice a couple years ago? Was there a mammoth in that block of ice or was there nothing at all? The ice must have been molten by now...
If you look at films of liquid 'bubbles' in spaceships you'll see that they make the same movements, only faster and more extreme. I think it's just a natural phenomenon
I can see it already on TellSell: The amazing stowaway bag! Put all your clothes that you don't use in it, together with all your sleeping bags and mattrasses, close it and shine blue light on it, with the torch that comes with the bags! Look! Instantly the bag starts shrinking, and doesn't stop until it's so small, you can put it in your breastpocket! Isn't that amazing! Only 199 dollars/euros per bag!

Well, the only difference I see is that Mozilla at least runs on many OS'es. But you got a good point there.

I always learnt that on a ship the laws of the country the ship sails under apply. If that's true what's the problem?

Ha, this gives me hope. I'm still waiting for a new heart that is grown this way.

I also had a 815I. It's a pest. Why don't you try a second hand diamond Viper 550 or 770?
Ariadne is in many ways superior to the Space shuttle. It's cheaper, just as reliable and can take more cargo.

This is exactly the base of the plot of Crime Zero by Michael Cordy. Scary...

Of course it's crap. Stinging mosquitos are deaf... But it's lots of fun!
Does it run with WINE under Linux?
I replied to a Linux 'joke', so I have to reply to this one too --- Ha ha ha. NOT funny! Take your offtopic jokes elsewhere please.
