Protocol overhead? BS. It's the routing overhead that gets you. Your 2400 was a direct connection.
Come on guys, don't forget the serial port. Plug it into a cheap external modem (or just serial link it to your broadband NAT box) and you have a compact, attractive, CHEAP web browser that works on your TV.
Yes, 2.8 is very fine. And as always, the running requirements are SO reasonable. My 486-66 w/32 meg ram is my DSL router, runs 24 hours a day, and can keep my house-full of PC's streaming at full speed.
And it was twenty times easier to setup NAT than Linux.
Sega has expressed interest in developing a Dreamcast on PCI board, which would make this easily possible. And you could burn your backups and share and swap them.
I don't know when you went to high school, but this may have been because the address did not match up with the bar-code. Now if we could only crack that high security bar-code...free postage forever!!!
Quit being a camera hog. I wanna try moving it too.:)
Very impressive. Especially considering the feed is coming from Japan. Of course I'm on the west coast, that helps. Can't wait to try this out during daylight Japan hours.
Do you plan on going on to college, or doing your own thing for a while? Attending college does have its benefits (a degree for one), the great ones seem to drop out early and strike it big on their own. Or is it too early to tell?
There's no end room if that's what you mean. But the goal has always been to get all the treasures. That's the end.
I'm lucky if I get seven treasures!!
My teachers were much kinder. They taught the class in Pascal, because that's what the dept standardized on at the time. But students were free to turn in assignments in the language of their choice.
Choice rules!
Actually LED screens would be pretty sweet, if they could build them pixel-sized. They're bright, don't require crazy voltage like back-lights do, refresh super fast, black blacks and white whites....
Not in my town. However, all our school busses and some package carriers use LED-banks in place of tail lights. These banks fit the same form factor as the traditional round lens, so zero retrofit is needed. Sweet!

...do you need a backlight if it's a solar powered computer? Hmm.....

Thank GOD the format isn't still called QIF....I'd never say that in public!!

Umm, what the hell do you think turnaround is? Wash and wax?

Damn, and I thought my habits were expensive by the gram...

There are ten exclamation points in Gibson's dialog (which is ~20 pages long). He must be referring to the exclamations in the script commands.
Is it just me or does old Richard bare more than a passing resemblance to Tom Greene?
I like OpenShuSH.
Would OpenSsssSH be acceptable too?

This is truely beautiful writing. I haven't read anything this good in a long time. This guy has a future. (no puns)

For real though.
$27M. What is that worth, about five orbits? Please. That money would have been better spent on Russia's obligation to the ISS.
The only reason they won't crack it is probably because it's impossible to pronounce.
Don't forget your umbrella.
