I can't even get my AirPort card to see a LEAP-enabled Cisco base station.
Perhaps they've hidden the SSID? In that case, you'll have to type it in yourself. It may very likely be "typhoon" or "tsunami".
You log into LEAP by typing "<username/password>" into the password field (the angle brackets are important). If your username is part of a domain, you will need to enter "<domain\username/password>" instead. If you get tired of typing this every time, go to the Network control panel and type the SSID/password into the appropriate boxes of the Airport tab for auto-logon.
If you use broken hard drives, the amplifier will cause the loose magnetic particles in the broken hard drives to signal a channel directly to the operator's brain, rearranging your neurons according to the sound being amplified which will cause you to become confused, and your memories will become jumbled, randomized, and replaced, and you will start to speak in tongues.
...and when it gets really bad, you start reposting Slashdot stories.
Only to the types who have barely progressed beyond Red Hat == Linux. The only "geek factor" distros of x86 Linux are Slackware and Debian, and running BSD on x86 has even higher geek factor. Guess what OS X is based on?
I held out with my old PowerTower Pro and waited until I could get 10.1 running on it, rather than install Linux on it. I've already got Linux running on a couple of cheap PCs to do server stuff, and I really hate X-Windows as a windowing system (aside from its nifty remote capabilities which I never got far enough to use), something I won't even say about W2K.
Now I get the best of both worlds, except for Finder label colors, and I can even get to see those by running Finder 9.2 as a Classic app. Once I moved the IDE card into a 25MHz slot, the machine was rock solid running 10.1, more stable than it's ever been since I bought it. Of course it took $800 worth of hardware upgrades over the past year and a half to get it to the point where it could run 10.1, but it was worth it.
Many years ago I saw 2001 (a 70mm print) at the local IMAX theatre. It was incredibly wide (after all, it was shot incredibly wide), and I had to turn my head from side to side to see both ends of it. Wow.
The program Goban is a Go client for OS X with GnuGo 3.2 packaged into it. It now also supports two internet Go servers, IGS and NNGS, so you can play against more than just the computer.
Plus, there's that l33t feeling of being close enough to a CO or RT to even get that speed. Mine tested for 8M down, even though they don't offer that. Beyond 6M or so, 10BT half duplex becomes a limiting factor.
I played a palm adaptation of it, and the scoring was done incorrectly
What was it called? Was it PilotGo, by any chance? When I first started learning, that's the first program I tried. Within a week I realized how pathetic it was. I've heard it was based on GnuGo 1.2 or so. GnuGo has significantly improved its play in the 3.x versions.
A slightly less pathetic program is the one included with the Zaurus PDA. Just throw sacrifice stones in its area, and it will waste its time capturing them while you build up your position somewhere else.
There's one other problem with 21x21. That is the point at which the center starts having more point value than the edges. If you make two squares by filling the third line with black stones and the fourth line with white stones, black wins at 19 and white wins at 21.
children are putting down videogames and Pokémon cards and taking up Go in a big way.
This is a good thing, because the best time to learn to play is as a child. I think this is perhaps because it lets aptitude for the game develop in the language centers of the brain, which are in their primary development years then.
P.S. It was the Hikaru fansubs that got me started too. I had always known I would be interested someday, and then I made a point of learning the rules so I could understand what was going on in the series.
There is a program where you can just pay something like $200 and get the next three years of software upgrades for free. They might do a better job of promoting that as well.
And you neglected to mention the single most important creation of GCC, the Atari 7800? The Not Invented Here syndrome partly contributed to the initial shelving of the 7800, but it was a pretty capable console.
The 7800 was also the first console to use cryptographic lockout protection to prevent third party games. (Not surprising, considering it was developed in the shadow of MIT and RSA.) Only in the current generation are consoles again using cryptography in their lockout protection.
Several years ago, "Chase The Chuckwagon" was going for $250+ on eBay. It was considered the 'Holy Grail' of a 2600 collection.
Only to the unwashed masses. To a serious collector, it's not that important. Crazy Climber or Rubik's Cube or Quadrun are much harder to find. My CtCw cost me a dollar, in a two-pack at a thrift store. Two years ago, no less. My Crazy Climber took two weeks of waiting for a set to go for sale at a computer resale shop.
Only a handful? The Atari 2600 had thousands of games...
Try more like hundreds. Even if you count bootleg and import versions of games, you're still talking in the 800 or so range, IIRC. It's a major milestone for a collector to pass 300, and expensive to pass 500. Even the NES only has in the 800 range, but most of those are unique games.
Wico sticks all the way, man. Full of leaf-switch goodness. I still need to rewire me a pair for the right button on the 7800 and another pair for the Colecovision.
Guantlet and Guantlet Legends have the ATARI logo.
That would be Atari Games, which was the coin-op division, spun off back in the Warner days, or somewhere thereabouts. It was better known in the home video game market as Tengen.

I'd be happy enough it they just dropped off the broadband adapter.
Until its hard drive is full with Office.X.
Very interesting. It reminds me of the old 3M Bookshelf game Ploy, except you add the movement directions to the pieces as play progresses.

Never had that problem myself, but you could try System Preferences->Network->Airport->Airport tab->Preferred Network and see if that helps.
Well, you could get a developer mailing, which includes updated versions of the OS for $200/yr. (or $99 for a student membership)
Hmmm... could it be... Texas?
So what do you do when Accounting asks you about all those purchase orders for catnip?
It's "The Rockford Files" in the 22nd century. :-) Well, the non-Vicious episodes anyhow.

Of course if those Empire lawyers get a look at Source Forge's web ads, SF could have lots more problems than hosting ScummVM! :-)
Won't the lusers unintentionally running wide-open nodes get suspicious when they see a chalk mark outside that says "LINKSYS )("?
