Another point that's worth making is one my father the recruiter always shoves in my ear: There is a lot of difference between ten years of experience and 1 year of experience repeated ten times.
In other words, don't get stuck in the same gig, never learning anything new or taking on new tasks.
StarCraft was released circa 1997, if I recall. The TCP LAN play option was released in a patch right around Jan/February 2002, which by the way, was only weeks after the whole cease-and-desist/lawsuit fiasco began. Seems like kind if a long wait, doesn't it?
If I had to guess, I'd assume not "viable" in the sense that there's no cable running out to his "rural area", but the telco would be happy to run the cable out to him and give him service, so long as his company will pay some huge (1000's of dollars) "cabling" fee to get it out there.
This is exactly why I'm looking forward to this, and can't stand all this fighting about HAL's and what not. I want a PS2 that runs Linux, with MAME, Nesticle, etc ports. With 40GB, I can have every game for all of the old classic consoles/arcades at my fingertips. Playing on a PS2, with a nice Dual Shock controller. This is the beauty of this kit, you can finally throw out the NES. Think about it, slap a little menu up front, and play any game you want. That's my plan, at least.
Thats the Business Software Association, the nasty folks on the radio who barge into your office and audit your MS licenses if someone in your office makes any accusatins against you. Not the most popular kids in town, obviously.
because many people that young have probably grown up with their playstations, but don't remember the "glory days" of NES & SNES. I'm in my mid twenties and still buy any game that has Zelda in the title.
This was one of the major priorities for Intel's Itanium project. It will still run x86 on die, but it uses a whole new instruction set and architecture as well. This was a chance for everyone from the high-end down to slowly trickle away from x86. Unfortunately, AMD's Sldgehammer just "extends" i386 into 64 bits, almost identically to how Intel extended x86 into i386. AMD could single-handedly cause the 25 year old architecture to remain in place for years. It's another quick-fix, just like i386 was. Sick of x86? Boycott Sledgehammers.
There was also a big article about Gleick in Wired several(6?) months ago. He is among other things an amateur pilot, and his son was killed when the two of them went for a flight and the plane went down. Accordingy to the Wired article, it shook him up pretty badly.
I've been to STL several times, and it has more bars and budweiser than you can shake a stick at. Truly a fun place to go, but I don't know about living there.
I would just like to say that I've lived in Cleveland for all 22 years of my life, and it sucks. There are bars, and lots of pro sports, but it's just a dreary place to live. I hate the daystar as much as the next code-jockey, but it'd be nice to see it once every six months or so. Maybe I've just had too much of one thing, but as soon as I graduate from CWRU in May I'm never going to see Cleveland again.
I would like to point out a flaw in your argument. The law of supply and demand you refer to is a law applying to a simplistic, non-realistic model of the real world. Ask any economist worth his salt and he'll tell you that the real world is much more complicated than introductory level economics courses.

The only reason that Brittiny Spears can make money is because of technology, not copyright laws!
I'd like to disagree. I don't like to listen to Brittney, but I sure as hell like to watch her

I believe the rumor you're referring to was the development environment for the system, not the system OS itself.
