Goddamn. You can't be that stupid, can you? Have you ever even SEEN windows V1.0? It's black and white, and splits the screen into quarters. It doesn't even have fucking ICONS, for jeebus' sake.
Stop repeating the same stale bullshit, please. they LOST.
You don't say? An ENTIRE 667 or 733 mhz??? Ho-lee fucking shit! That's amazingly fast and comptetive, espceially since you can get a 1ghz TBird for $170! Go away.
I was actually telling the truth in the comment there... I just threw the surprise under the "m" in because I'm an asshole. Other than that, the article was entirely factual... hardly deserving of a "troll" rating. Don't you think?
It's a good thing they lost control of it. I hope it crashes into someone, just to teach those godless heathens a lesson pertaining to the realms they should be mucking with.
Because, you know, we weren't being taxed nearly enough before! I sure am glad the government knows where to send my money. Just imagine if we got to choose the destination of our monitary supplies ourselves! Total chaos!!!
Saying that those games were somehow better than the games today is like saying grits (pardon the reference) are better than a fillet mingon (or however you spell that damn french word) from a genetically engineered to be plump and juicy cow.
In fact, they're significantly MORE pointless than todays games in that there's no pretty movie or anything for you to watch at the end. And, don't give me that "feeling of accomplishment" bullshit. You could eat the contents of a week old uncleaned port-o-potty, which would probably be very difficult and unpleasant, and come away with about the same benefits as getting a perfect on pitfall (except the port-o-potty scheme is probably slightly more healthy).
So someone got a perfect pitfall game. Big fuckin' whoop-te-doo. Just think of all the *interesting* articles you may have submitted that were rejected.
this part is offtopic, but I keep getting that "photon light" ad from thinkgeek. I'll pay someone $25 and a crack rock to bring me the head of the guy who came up with that product name.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's more of a shell than an OS. Perhaps a simple mistake in nomenclature there.
Anyway, I'll quote the same passage from my last message again. *ahem*.:
The plug-in enables a web page to utilise the full range of Inferno authentication and security mechanisms to provide mutual authentication, message authentication and message encryption when connecting to any kind of service on the Internet, not just to other web pages.
ONE of the uses is automatic and easy security. Read the "additional info on the plugin" link for all the gory details on how it does useful stuff.
Well, let's see. If you had actually FOLLOWED a link, you'd have read:

It's for security, foolio. Of course, that was just ONE of the mentioned uses. Try actually following the links next time.
If you want JUST a web browser, you should use lynx. If you're using ANYTHING else, then you're using something that's not just a web browser.
IE was never meant for only one task. It's a versatile program that allows you to read e-mail, browse the net, access FTP servers, chat, watch videos, and a plethora of other activities. It was NEVER only meant to be just a web browser.
wow, yeah, great idea. And just think... all I have to do is spend a few thousand dollars to replace the windows programs I use... no, wait. Make that somewhere around $80, since the vast majority of the programs I use havn't even been ported to linux.
Linux does have it's place. That place, however, is not the desktop.
Hah! You think the heatsinks on the PIV are big! Just wait, and by the time the PentiumDCLXVI* comes out at 10ghz, this may be a reality! Yessiree... just you wait.
*(for all you Roman numerals dor^H^H^HGeeks out there... you know what number that is, you dirty little heathens)
Hey, look! You're condesending! You must be Smart(tm)!
Lay off it, buddy. Nobody's impressed by your willingness to wait 5 minutes just to start your mail daemon. If you honestly think that anybody thinks you're cool because you avoid all the "new fangled computer upgrade thingies", you're fooling yourself.
Staying primitive is not a good thing. You're essentially saying, "ug. progress bad. me slow, me good!", just significantly less funny than oog was when he spoke in the same manner.
You are aware of how a transistor actually works, right? It's pretty simple... just layered silicon, simply put. Not much room to do anything except make it smaller.
However, a smaller transistor means you can cram more into something the size of your standard issue ppga chip. Mo' transistors + mo' powah - mo' size = mo' speed - mo' heat. And that is, my friend, a good thing.
I kind of hope not, since when you split an atom it violently explodes.
Though, that may be next up for Creative when they come out with the "nuclear vlolitile mega monster blaster annihilator pro plus atomic destroyer!" series of 3d cards.
It's said like that because it's convenient. People can't realistically abstractly imagine 1/10,000th of a second, yet the blink of an eye is something they are already familiar with.
Obviously though, they were not trying to tell the exact measurement of time, rather, just saying "really damn fast".
That seemed kind of obvious. You should probably lighten up.
