I've heard that the physical addiction to nicotine is gone after 3 days (sorry, no sources available). After three days the addiction is purely psychological. It's known that the psychological addiction is a lot harder to break than the physical. Having a lit cigarette in hand, whether or not it contains nicotine, is not going to do much to ween off the psychological addiction.
For comparison, to produce a single pint of beer an efficient brewery will use 5 - 7 pints of water for heating, cooling and washing. (source: Fullers Brewery)
it's about time they put an age limit on games. You know how easy it is to frag a senior citizen playing Quake 3? With their aging reflexes, they shouldn't let anyone over 65 play online games.
you know how amazon has a "if you like this you should also buy..." thing? I was checking on a book earlier this week and that part of the web page read:
Customers who wear clothes also shop for:
Clean Underwear from Amazon's Target Store
Ladybug Rain Boots from Amazon's Nordstrom Store
Arm Warmers from Amazon's Urban Outfitters Store
Cheetah Print Slippers from Amazon's Old Navy Store
????? Customers who wear clothes? as opposed to? And "Clean Underwear"? I'll pass, but do you have any soiled teenage cheerleader panties? wtf?
By "sue", do you mean an effort by Microsoft for monetary gain? Obviously this would be futile. A more likely scenario is a Cease & Desist order, which would be served to Linus, or whoever's patch is most applicable. Even then it'd have to be someone in the US, right?
A likely outcome would be code removal from the kernel and/or other offending software. Sueing for damages would be difficult.

anyone know where I can get joysticks / paddles for an existing 2600? I'm down to a single joystick, no paddles. No, I won't shop at ebay. I've got an itch for Warlords that I can't scratch.
One of the brag factors about SETI seems to be "number of block computed" or whatever they call it. I wonder if the amount of cheating / falsifying data would decrease if the competitive nature of who's processed the most blocks were taken away.
Publishing aggregate results is fine, but posting individual results begs people to find ways, sometimes malicious, to "get ahead".
Won't they just tap your inbound/outbound connections upstream? I agree running your own mail server does have it advantages, but security from your upstream ISP doesn't seem like one of them.
But did the Atari 800 have a *wireless* keyboard like the PCjr? Oh the thrill of having to run down to Radio Shack to replace the keyboard's batteries during the middle of a good game of Gato.
Why you want to do this *IS* up for debate. If you're shooting for a unix (linux/whatever) platform, does it really matter that it's PowerPC? I mean, unix is general enough that unless you've got specific hardware requirements (and processor alone doesn't constitute this -- I'm talking wierd ass PCI cards or other barnyard oddities) it doesn't matter if you're on powerpc, intel, or sparc. The cheapest bang for the buck in this category is, as we all know, intel.
I've no idea what you'd need to do to get this MacOS compatible. Do they still use dark matter (ROM) in those machines? But if you're not going for Mac compatibility I don't know why you want to roll your own.
If you've got a warezhouse full of PowerPC assembly programs then that's a different story. Obviously you're going to need a specific processor to run them. Or maybe you're looking to do embedded system development on a PowerPC?
Inquiring minds want to know. Ok, we don't really *want* to know, we'd really just like to laugh at the idea a bit more.:)
Just for your information: almost all mobile phones do change its output power according to received signal level.
Actually, it's just the opposite: a cell tower will request a phone to change it output power according to the cell tower's received signal strength. Cell towers don't have to worry about a tiny battery like a cell phone does, towers can transmit with a lot more power than a cell phone.
If you're running on an SMP system, Q3 will use one thread for game calculations and another for the graphics system.
As you implied, not all Q3-engine games use threads. Wolfenstein, for example, doesn't (ugh!). Still I think SMP would be useful in this scenario: on linux when playing wolfenstein, the game takes up a whole processor which leaves X another processor to play with.

how exactly do you come to the conclusion that your ISP was "keeping an eye on you"? I mean, what evidence did you see...

thanks demon for the explanation, I didn't think Apple would still have the old ROM routines directly planted in hardware.

Bus? Hell, hard drives/drive speed has always been the weak point of the system.
