So this Y2K bug led this program to believe these mothers had a negative age? Or at least that's what I can draw from it... You'd think it's programmers would have a line of code to make sure that didn't happen. I guess it must not pay to be thurough anymore...
I believe the GameCube will be a much better system in the long run. Nintendo has always produced incredible games with high replay value, even when their hardware wasn't the best.
The SNES wasn't as powerfull as the Genesis, but it still blew it out of the water. The 64 has some awsome games that I am still looking for in funco land and such.
I doubt that this company could ever lose its zeal for the gaming industry or for the gamer.
Who modded this? There is not a hint of troll in this question. It isn't biased, it isn't trying to flame anyone. It's a perfectly descent post. I hope Taco revokes your moderator priveleges...
I'd just like to thank all the/.ers out there who set up mirrors and the like. Kudos to you for acting so quickly to help out the world's public find their news.
The best mouse I've ever used is by Logitech. It's their wheelman cordless that comes with their cordless ergo keyboard. It fits the hand perfectly. Yeah, you have to move your wrist around, but I've never experianced pain with it.
Worst mouse ever? Microsoft's intellimouse. I'd rather use a Mac mouse (okay, maybe not from the imacs).
So, can anyone recall something M$ made that wasn't already on the market? I'm not saying they stole everything they ever made. I'm not saying they never made something better. What I am saying, is I don't know if they ever came up with any truely original thoughts.
Xerox WAS a hardware company that made copiers, who, intelligently, decided to try to expand into software and big solutions (what a buzz-word). Then they, unintelligently, practically gave thier PC and software buisness to Apple. Then they became a copier company.
I know they're trying to keep the whole Trek universe consistant, but this really is rediculous. They are already causing a civil war among the Klingons! It's an outrage. We should be getting introduced to the charecters.
So far, I've trusted all the pilots, and they've delivered excellently. Well, maybe not so much Voyager, but they all have blown me away. Who could forget meeting Q? He was the most intigral part of TNG. They started it with him, and ended it as well. So, unless they want to start and end this whole series with the Klingon cival war... this is a mistake.
Remember the Korean war (or was it Vietnam... probably both)? We thought the same thing. We used "Bouncing Bettys" in that one. Basically, you step off it, and it jumps a foot or so into the air and blasts peoples legs off. The problem with this, is that the enemy didn't value the lives of disabled soldiers and would sooner use them as living human-shields then carry them off to a hospital.
I'm not saying they still think like that, but there are still some cultures who retain a similar mentality.
So, these crystals can emit light as well as semi-conduct. It sounds to me like this could possibly help keep processors cool. That is, if there were somewhere for the light to go...
Hmm... I'm thinking some colored filters and a rotating mainboard and we have ourselves some disco-qauke III action!
I'm not sure about conversion algorythms, so someone tell me if I'm wrong. But wouldn't there not be enough of a particular bit of media in the RAM buffer to count as infringement? I mean, when I burn a backup CD with Service Pack 2 for windows, and winamp, winace and the like, I only have 4MB of buffer in the writer.
Hey, if at the least, maybe a pair of ASCII quotes could surround all the code or music we decided to store or copy.
Remember, the article says that they aren't worried about XP. They are only concerned about M$'s current monopoly with Win2k and I think Me, but I can't tell.
I don't think they can really get angry about XP until they see what happens with it.

I suppose the best way to desensize people is to put them inside of a Quake III environment and having them blow crap apart. I know I don't cringe when I see someone on Saving Private Ryan get blown in half anymore. I don't even feel bad, although I probably should.
I've read that many of the guns found on Civil War battlefields had been loaded numourus time without being fired. People just diddn't know how to be trained killers then.
I may get flamed for it, but I know this kind of stuff is part of the reason kids are brining guns into schools and shooting people up.
Yeah, I was playing with high-output LED's back in 10th grade... That was a while ago, about five years or more... time flies at a dead-end job... sigh.
The box may have some power to it, but I hope it crashes and burns. M$ shouldn't be in this market for a few reasons.
They doesn't care about their customers
Their games haven't been that great
Nintendo has the best games out there
They've got enough money from their other markets, why ruin this one
I've always been a strong Nintendo supporter, and always will be. Yeah, eventually I'll get a PS2, when it's good and cheap, but I doubt I'll ever buy the x-box. Computer games are computer games.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but X-box uses USB ports for their controllers. I'd imagine that would allow for a large array of controllers and keyboards and the like. Esspecially since the OS is somewhat of a Windows kernel.
While the classical bit can store any number between 0 and 255 on each of its eight bytes, the qubit can store all the numbers between 0 and 255 on a byte of eight qubits.
Please tell me this is just bad grammer. I mean, Doesn't this sound like you need 64 bits to make 255 on a binary computer (which we all know is false) and that somehow these "magical" quantum computers can do it in only 8 bits?...
Imagine the compression we could have by not using a whole byte to store a bit of information...
I don't know about you, but I think it would be a great idea to code straight assembler. Macros replaces most of the general functionality of the compiler. You get a lot better choice of what you want to do, and most of the good algorythms are accessable.
Being partial to the dirtiest part of programming (that isn't just bits or hex...), the more control, the better!
Just because Unix and Linux have worms written for their destruction/mahem, doesn't mean that the media is going to go into a foray about it. When was the las time you heard Linux referred to on the local news.
Media shys away from what the consumer doesn't know about because they fear that Mr. and Mrs. Average are going to lose intrest.

MICROSOFT, what corner would you prefer being forced into today?
When I was growing up, my room (which I was confined to much of the time) was only 8 x 7. This must explain my shortness of height.
