Unlikely, given that the recount hasn't been completed yet. Not to mention the fact that most of the "evidence" was destroyed before it could be examined..
You can buy two 512MB sticks of PC133 memory for the price of a single copy of Windows 2000 Professional. Requiring 128MB of memory to run WinXP is like requiring shirt and shoes to eat in a restaurant. It shouldn't even need to be mentioned, but some redneck bastard did it once, and now everyone has to post a sign.
That's not a correction, it's an addition. It is 100% true that Clint Eastwood said: "A man's got to know his limitations." It didn't say "Clint Eastwood was the FIRST to say.."
Sun Tzu didn't even say it.. He said whatever the phrase is in Chinese.:)
I'm not sure this is true. How much did shoes cost in 1985, before Nike introduced the Cross Trainer?
I don't remember them costing $100, even adjusted for inflation. What is that, a full day's pay for the average american?
I think the idea of what a shoe costs has changed before, and it could change again.
That's hilarious.. Dual P3-1GHz, GeForce2 Ultra, 512MB PC133, and I still look forward to the day when I can play Quake3 in 1024x768, or with FSAA enabled. Maybe the NV20 will let me pick one of those two..
You're assuming that each pixel only has one texture or lighting pass applied to it, which hasn't been true for years. Modern games can hit 6. Also, you're tossing out the possibility of anti-aliasing.. 4x4 supersampling will multiply your fill-rate requirement by a factor of 16. Sticking with your 36Mpixels/sec number, to get the same performance in an app with 4x anti-aliasing and 5 passes, you need 2.88 BILLION pixels/sec.. That's quite a bit more.
Yeah, and the infant mortality rate was about a dozen times higher than it is now. There's a reason people go to the hospital to have their children. Hint: It isn't because the TV told them to.
Give it another 6 Months and people should be able to dump Windows completly.
Hehe.. Let's check back in 6 months and see if you're right.. I'll give you an extra day.. Let's call it August 1, 2001. The day Windows dies, according to your prediction. Cheers!

2. Women do that because of natural selection. See: "The Moral Animal" by Robert Wright.
3. It could still easily be profitable.. If you made enough clones of various genotypes, you'd have a pretty good chance of finding a "donor" for a patient. If you did, you could sell it. They don't have to be custom-grown, just as good or better than the donor system we have now.

Have you actually used the latest Windows Media encoder? It's easily the most impressive CODEC I've run into.. Try comparing it to DiVx and see who comes out on top.
In fact, just last night I was comparing some footage I got from one of my Laserdiscs.. Quicktime vs. DiVx vs. Type-2 DV vs. Windows Media 8.
Windows Media is excellent. Too bad you can't serve it or view it without Windows boxes.
Mega-tasteless.. The moment I read it, it pissed me off. If someone said something like this to my face, and Mr. Hewlett was my father, I'd smash their head in for them.
Awesome list, dude.. Did you pull those out of your hat as you keyed in the post?
Personally, I use e-mail and email interchangeably, depending on the "tone" of the sentence. If I was a man-eating space alien, I'd spell human "hu-man."

According to Pricewatch, you can get 1GB of PC133 memory (4 x 256MB) for $180. 1GB Ramdisks are already pretty cheap. Heh.

VHS (or otherwise) copies of the animated series: "Thunderbirds: 2086."
THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!!

Try encoding an MPEG4 clip on that 800MHz CPU, then on the 1.33GHz CPU. Report back, and explain that you were wrong.
Here's a keyboard you can roll up and shove in your pocket.

Replace your IDE cable with something better. Seriously.

Uhh.. What exactly did they say again?
You couldn't be more correct.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Votes other than those from overseas certainly did "vanish" here in Florida.
I know what you meant.. I was just giving you a hard time. Heh.

They already made the movie, man..
It's 17 times larger in mass.
