Sitting in front of a CRT all day playing games does wonders for your eyes. Those l33t visual skills aren't going to help when you can't see more than 10 feet in front of you. You're better off playing with yourself, at least going blind that way is an urban legend.
Not that I disagree with you, but that's a load of shit. Americans don't do ANYTHING for free. If it looks like it's going to be free, it's a trick. It's always about advancing there own agenda. Not about being nice.
If you think the rest of the world is any different, I know a certain Nigerian prince who will help you earn $36 million dollars...

TEh only time i have ever heard of the two networks being connected was a seinor chief plugged two lan cards into one computer, just messing around. Caught unholy hell for it, luckily he was the sharpest guy with the most experience in the office
Sounds like another case of "military intelligence".
The UNION of these two databases can't JOIN? Maybe they didn't PREPARE? If they can't COMMIT what they brought to the TABLE then perhaps they should DROP dead.

Since nethack has Keystone Kops, I guess that rules out playing nethack in the state of Washington. Not a minute too soon either, whenever I see those K letters Ice-T's Cop Killer starts going through my head.
- There are 4 pumps in the Puget sound area
- If I can't get a hold of biodiesel, I can just put regular diesel in the pump, with no problems
All the biodiesel stations must be regular diesel stations too, cause I swear we've only got about 4 diesel pumps in the puget sound area. Finding a diesel pump in the Seattle area is like trying to find a date for Janet Reno.

I hope you're joking about having 99 different-shaped objects in your pocket.
I believe he was joking about having 99 different coins. An ideal solution would be to have 100 different coins, and include a zero or "null" coin. Therefore the protocol for every transaction could expect a coin.
the other day I was playing nethack at work, thinking that if I'm going to play a game it ought to be one without fancy graphics or anything too out of the ordinary from typical unix like work. A couple minutes later the boss walks by my desk, drops his jaw in amazement and says, "Is that Rogue???" He was fairly impressed having not seen the game in years and asked for a copy of the source code.
Now your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to secure a screen-shot of that few-second episode! Not only is it important for the coolness factor, but we can learn how Nmap looks in the future by studying that output!
Ah, the Spaceballs theory of seeing the video before it's released in the theatre?
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at?
Colonel Sandurz: You're looking at "now," sir. Everything that's happening now, is happening "now."
Dark Helmet: Well go back to then.
Colonel Sandurz: When?

Colonel Sandurz: We can't.
Dark Helmet: Why?
Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now.

Anyone with a desktop and a laptop they want to maintain in sync definetely needs Unison. This is one of the coolest tools I found after I picked up a laptop.
they go through the wash just fine (and you can even have them in your board shorts whilst surfing without fear of being unable to buy a pie for lunch)
(And a dig at RIAA just adds a little bounus humor!)
Humor? It's pure FUD and it doesn't add anything to the content. I don't mind a bit of opinionated journalism but this type of unsubstantiated comment is unwarranted.
The main problem with the Model T is that today's kids can't appreciate or relate to it. I'd suggest a couple Model T owners make minor efforts to get a new generation interested in the Model T.
Mainly, rice it up. Adding a big boat spoiler to a Model T would do wonders for appealing to a younger generation. And wouldn't we all like to see a lowered Model T, or some kick ass hydraulics -- you could call it a Model humpTee! Don't forget the boomin 18" woofers, or a fresh set of wide-ass wheels.
Thanks for the update! I've been waiting ages for a video card that will play Nethack at 10,000fps! Who cares about 3-D games when you can go dungeon hacking?
To put it in Nethack terms, think of it as an "uncursed +1 card of videoing"...

Anyone have pictures of tile mod'd games in action? Just curious to see what people have done.

More specifically, neandethals were the first to bury their dead -- before humans actually.
I'll believe it when chimps are calling radio stations and requesting Pete Shelley.

Does the PCI bus even have enough bandwidth for this kind of video card to make a difference, though?
When I upgraded from a GeForce2 MX to a GeForce4 MX I tried to grab some benchmarks:
test geforce2 geforce4
--------
xengine 237-238 rpm 60xxxx rpm
gears -fps 39-45 fps 45 solid
gears -fps -delay 1 83 fps 90 solid
gears -fps -delay 0 120-160 fps 300-500
so yeah, it makes a difference. Return to Castle Wolfenstein seemed a bit snappier with the GeForce4 than the 2, but I didn't benchmark that.
To put it in Nethack terms, think of it as an "uncursed +1 card of videoing"...
After RTFA'ing maybe those of us PCI bound should opt for the Geforce4 MX, which is also available in a PCI version...
