...Mario will rise from the dead to pummel both the hedgehog and the bandicoot.
That's not too hard to do, considering that Sonic the Hedgehog died along with Sega's plan to stop making consoles. Also, Sony has pretty much dropped the Crash Bandicoot franchise, replacing it with yet more Tekken and CoolBoarders spinoffs, not to mention the many EA sports games.
However, I'll believe it when I can shove a copy of Hellbender (a space-fighter game created by Microsoft in 1996; also one of the first games to use Direct3D) into a Linux box and play it flawlessly.
It saves so much time in calculating the voltages and currents in circuits. Also, you can make perfect circuit diagrams. The Windows demo of DesignLab (which uses SPICE) is here; it's limited to 50 components, but that's enough to make simple circuits. I don't know if there's a Linux version of the GUI though.
With 3Com dropping these products, the PC doesn't look so doomed after all. No more notepads that need to be plugged in and given time to boot, and no more radio tuners that sound like a steam locomotive while scanning the dial. Huzzah.
Unfortunately, companies have started to find ways around unions. Verizon is increasingly hiring contractors to fill in for unionized workers. And this is after the Verizon strike in October.

Turbolinux Pulls IPO
·
· Score: 1
I'm talking about "trust that you're going to have a job." Period. Companies are always looking for cheaper ways to do things, and cutting down on personnel is a commonly used option.
Hell, now isn't a good time to work for a potential Chapter 11 company. The stock options that used to entice people into employment are now meaningless, since the companies have stock values so low (or, like Turbolinux, can't even make an IPO). Everyone's watching FC right now, and the companies can barely keep any bad news held within the walls of their buildings.
This recession isn't just about plunging stock values. It's about the loss of trust between companies and their employees.
...especially the huge Flash ads that take up the right half of the window width and almost all of the height. Also, some companies are starting to use Akamai's servers for their ads.
Ugh. My/etc/hosts file keeps getting bigger and bigger...
Now with these new headers being sent, if the user is at a high resolution and has DSL or broadband, the server will change from using 468x60 GIF banners to 936x120 Flash banners, complete with sound and annoying pictures!
I hate Flash banners! They take so long to load, and you have to hack into the page source to find the source URL so you can bind the offending server to 127.0.0.1 in/etc/hosts. And now they'll tailor your "online experience" (more like advertisement torture session) by stuffing the page full of shameless, bloated drivel!
The milk in the spoon isn't milk. It's glue. Also, 3dfx would NEVER paint their logo on the surface of the chip; it would only be engraved. And that's leaving out the fact that the heatsink/fan isn't on the chip on the on-box photo.
...and it was while watching a Counter-Strike game on as_tundra. Terrorist versus Counter-Terrorist, purchased AWP versus ganked AWP, snowy hills versus the sniper tower.
Forget Jude Law versus Ed Harris, I'd rather see GSG-9 versus L337 Krew.
Yup, this guide is pretty good; however, it points out some really sneaky places, even the broken part of the map in de_cbble (the hole between the boards blocking the door in the sniper tower, which was probably fixed when CS11 was released).
Okay, it's a tactics guide to Counter-Strike, but it's a pretty good one. It discusses strategy in Counter-Strike (yes, there is strategy in Counter-Strike, because CS isn't deathmatch, just like GNU isn't UNIX and LAME isn't an MP3 encoder). Tactics for individual maps, as well as general strategies for each type of map, are discussed in depth. I'd recommend going there if you play CS, or want to castigate the lamers on your CS server.

Before, technology was the villain. Remember films such as "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Tron"?
Until then, hunt them bugs down and keep coding!
As long as Verizon, SBC, and Qwest are in power, we're doomed to lackluster service.
Hah. Maybe they were fake.

Alright, now I'm really worried for the safety of our country. Perhaps Steve Case is secretly trying to take over the government from within.

...is there even any debate as to the answer to that question?
Good thing we didn't have two blizzards this year, now I can use the leftover Halite for stories like this!

You can find all sorts of ICQ hacking utilities here. As it says on the ICQ site, secret conversations should be held by other, more secure means.
...stop calling it CGI!!! CGI means "Common Gateway Interface", not "Computer-Generated Imagery".
I'm still learning about strings and pointers in C class, and I've never gone hip-deep into Java code. Perl looks almost unintelligible to me.
ANYONE who is staring at a cathode-ray tube or an LCD flat panel looks kinda stoned. That's the entire reason behind the name "idiot box."
...can someone just convert this to C and make a program to convert it?
"Command.com or cmd.exe? Hmmm..."
