The 2600 was already moribund when Nintendo arrived on the scene. Because they'd lost the mindset and market and most of the software makers.
And for the playstation, instead of licensing a proprietary cartridge format, they licenced a proprietary CD format. Or at any rate they payed up to 7 bucks per game to publish.
Which I am sure is just how Norton and McAffee like it.
Keep awareness high by having lots of people scanning for viruses out there, and keep a great big reservior in which they can survive to keep popping up again on the drives of people who care.
They could coast for YEARS even if no one ever wrote another virus.
The same network drive was the source of all our outbreaks. That being one that all students and faculty had access to. Clean it, and someone brings the copy they had on a floppy disk somewhere.
I don't suppose my teaching everyone who lost a paper to a bad floppy how to use FTP really helped.
The RIAA and MPAA can't take over anyone's lives, unless they're a fucking moron. They can just make it difficult for you to find any decent entertainment without having to either spend way too much time searching, or sell your soul.
My high pings helped make me go HWG in TFC. Only a headshot would allow a LPB to get me before I could at least shoot back.
Well, HWG and Engy.
Anyhow, imagine a HWG training on servers with 250 ms ping times (anything above 350 is too slow for me), and occasionally dropping in on servers in town. Heh.
On the Appleseed page, there are graphs in which they usually include the Cray T3E 900...including "single processor performance." I'm sorry, but...huh? When have you ever heard of a T3E with just ONE processor? Or 4 or 8 for that matter?
Okay, I get that they're trying to make it look better by comparing it with something completely out of it's league, to turn people who would just be using a bit of time on some big iron to having their own personal power playground...but lets be more fair, and see some stats comparing 100 Mac clusters to 100 CPU Crays. More realistic.
Be careful doing that though. I once did that only to find the towel had disappeared afterwards. I was worried it had gotten wrapped around the axle or something. (had that happened, it could have been a pain to get out) Fortunately it had just been hurled about 30 feet down the driveway. (it was dark, okay?)
That is an issue. Jeez, last I checked there were sysadmin jobs going unfilled for months (years?) in northern AK. Doesn't matter how much they're paying, you've got to like a whole lot of nothing to work in a place like that when there are ANY other options available.
Never mind the cold and the dark, though...I hear the people can be even harder to deal with.
I remember when I was 4 years old or so, there was a poster above my bed (I didn't put it there), something to do with the Hobbit. It was a map, IIRC, with a big picture of Smaug on it. It scared the hell out of me. Like Bart Simpson's clown bed. I had nightmares.
Doesn't matter. The cretinists will still just see the headline and ignore the rest. That a date could be a bit wrong will just mean "it is wrong." This will be just more misinformation to feed the minds of those who don't want to question their faith.
It takes a lot of skill and intelligence to NOT kill yourself and do it. It takes a bit of skill and intelligence to kill yourself like this. But it also takes the immense amount of stupidity that is required in order to not realise that you don't have the skill and intelligence to survive it.
Thus, if he dies, he will have eliminated from the world his own lack of ability to assess his own ability, and hopefully any potential genetic causes it might have. He will be a perfect darwin award candidate.
"The average consumer, according to a Jupiter analysts, expects a resolution of HER complaint or query within six hours. THEY're not likely to get it. At a minimum, consumers are entitled to e-mail response within a business day, instand and equal access to customer service reps if THEY need it, and prompt resolution of their problems. "
He has to use the PC ass-kissing (in this context) pronoun to start with, but then decides to switch to (as the only gender-neutral pronoun available here, apart from "it") "they" later on. Can't decide which kind of gutless to be, huh?

A couple years ago, so IBM could be making PS2 (I have seen people render Playstation 2 as PS/2) CPUs.
The PS2 needs an adapter to use PS/2 mice and keyboards with it.
Are you even ALLOWED to have a PhD if you've seen Johnny Mnemonic?
Quite the contrary. Things are bad enough as they are...you don't need them getting worse.

It can be a bitch weeding them out.

Are states allowed to make requirements on other states' residents in order to improve commerce?
Unless this is going on some precedent, not so far as I know.

It's been grounds for the FBI to call my uncle's family members to find out exactly how fucked in the head he was.
If Canada can pull off something like the Weapon X project, they can handle this.
Drink 1 quart or more of orange juice every day, and you'll be loose and walking funny, too.

Holy shit...I cannot and will not ever understand that. Sitting in front of a TV for three hours playing a video slot machine. IT WILL NEVER PAY OFF.
And I know people who do this every other day or so. AGh...

this post should have been modded -1, offtopic. Or -1 troll.
My post should have been moderated -1 offtopic, as should every other post on this subject.
Yes, I did read that paper a few weeks before posting that.

How often do you actually see it in use? Jeez, Real media is more relevant than Windows media.

I find animals are far more likely to chew on cables if there is a big tangle of them than if there is just one.
