Have you been to a lan party? Theres no comparrison between fragging someone sitting next ot you and fragging a complete stranger across campus, or the world.
Preciscly. Even having the computers for free during offtime will pay for themselves because of people staying longer, and buying more drinks.
Make it cosy, make it friendly, and attract the same sort of people.
P.S. Dont use any of this time limiting software. Just imagine it, you are gurading your flag, just about to blast the other team away, and "bing", please pay another 36 cents and enter authorisation code.
However as he wants to do games too, only a handfull will run on linux. Sure, use linux as the backend ftp/router etc. But keep the front end windows.
However yes, an internet only terminal doesnt matter if its ie, mozilla or konqueror - as long as they are all set up correctly (flash etc) and there arent any sites that eont work, or need fiddling to work in linux.
The difference between $800 and $100 on operating systems is insignificant when compared to even the cost of the computer (especially a gaming rig), forget about the taxes, rent, power, heating, and as you said, wages.
However can you use a $40 off the shelf game in an internet cafe and charge people to play them? Dont you have to buy special licenses?
Is there really a market for internet cafes anymore
My parents are setting up a bar in Nidri, Lefkas, Greece - as an aside they're having an ISDN line installed and a couple of computers.
The greek government collects 75 pounds or euros (I forget) per computer per year (comehting to do with online gambling), plus normal ISP costs.
However people in nidri are traveling 20km to lefkas town to send a few emails. Not everywhere is as wired as the US/canada/uk/germany/france/benalux type countries.
well it worked, the moderaters fell for it, same as me, having be up all night. I wonder if they'll fall for this one too

I got bad enough grades in my first year when I got a 10mbit net connection, with trek episodes and uberping games. 2nd year in a house, 56k modem, however I splashed out on a widescreen, dvd player, etc. Much better.

Draw Netscape (6)
I ran out of time to write about the interesting stuff (assembler) cause I wrote a 3 page essay on why my window might not look like as it was a verison of netscape 6 under afterstep with lots of customisation.
Still, I learnt. Always read the paper first. Then storm out in disgust.

If we send a message through the earth, rather then arround, we cut our latency by 1/3 - and thats ignoring and routers enroute. This could revolutionize quake!

Um, except that we actually made it to the moon. And back.
Are you sure ?

IANAL, but I believe its for free legal advice!

Outside the tourist season in lefkas town, greece, you'll often see a ~10 yearold playing championship manager or something.

not newton, archimedies I believe, but your point stands
I highly doubt giving away your IP is somehow going to make you more profit than you lose.
We need software X to do function Y. It will take 50 man hours to complete at $50 per hour. Thes $2500.
However, release code, ask for feature, 2 weeks later function Y is in product X. Take code. Use Code.
Net gain $2500
Net loss $0
perhaps you should log in, its on my front page
no, it was voyager 6, launched in 1999
no mention on it's condition (ie, was it wiped clean,
Nope, the coffee ring was still there

Perhaps you should investigate Speed Reading?

So, slashdot then.
nope, but I remember reading about pomona from the abundance of 47 in trek
any packet loss wouldnt be as bad as if your packets got routed by rfc1149 in hunting season. RFC 2549 is slightly better, but not much.
So in 47 years we might die.
Tahts scary. Not the dying bit, the fact its 47 years - by far the most common number in the universe.

A hundred years without space travel. I mean right now I guess it wouldn't be a big deal, but in a thousand years it might be!
Hopefully in a thousand years we'll have some form of shields, or at least strong armour, that would make any ships safe.
no space travel for 100 years now would be devestating, with so much of the world relying on satelites, not to mention the loss to space exploration.
