Hell yeah! I miss the old days, going blind as I type in number after number in the Gazette (they made it easier when they came out with a utility to make typing those numbers in faster and less error-prone).
Best I can recall, the single longest program to type in was the word processor they came out with...it was radical; it could display 80 chars per line, and would automagically wrap entire words to the next line!:)
It astonishes me how many variations of this saying there are:
"Cut off nose despite face"
"Cut off nose to spit in face"
"Cut off nose inside face"
etc.. etc..
Just for the record, it's "Cut off your nose to spite your face"
I was at the Expo today and crawled all over that hardware (and got a free mouse at the keynote too schweeet). That breakout box is actually for the little round Harman-Kardon speakers.
As the typical die-hard Mac user, who went crazy back in the day for all those original Marathon leaks, then the infamous Demo release (which was hacked to extend game play to 20 minutes...the floors of "Mars Needs Women!" littered with your co-workers bodies), I was naturally hit in the gut with this news. "How DARE you Bungie! You sold out! I'm going to stick my Bungie CD's in the microwave and mail the remains, postage due, back to you!" Please. Think back...back to when you first got that Marathon Demo...appearing in the little hallway on the UESC Marathon...that creepy music, the dark, claustrophibic hallways, the mindless Bugs whapping their sticks at you. It was the tingly, creepy game experience of a lifetime, that many have not felt since, even with Marathon 2 and certainly not Infinity. Marathon is now open-sourced, and Myth (one of the only other Bungie games I ever played) is in the hands of Take-Two. T-T also has the rights to develop two games with the HALO engine (Marathon IV, anyone?). I say good riddance, Bungie. Have fun with XBox, enjoy your new rainy climes. Me, I'm gonna keep playing network M2 (still the best), and don my "They're everwhere!!" T-shirt.

They should look like Aibo.
And who the hell would invite him to a Wedding? WTF is *that* about?
But why no votes for Hank The Angry, Drunken Dwarf?
