Why settle for a flash version when you could hop on ebay and pick up an atari + games for well under $50? Just last week I got myself an Atari 7800 that way. I've spent this week finding my old paddles and cartridges... Flash versions might be fun, but you can't beat the tactile experience of the old paddles! d I really like the 7800 joysticks, too.... even worked on C-64's and Amigas!
"Peter Frampton has the same system!" Perlman shouts over the music. "If you listened to this as a 128K MP3, the cymbals would phase out. This is 192K!"
Did anybody else think this was weird? I mean, If I could, I wouldn't even compress my audio. I'd just use a couple TB to store the highest quality versions of music I like. Or I'd hire a full-time DJ. And I'd make him give stuff away, as if he were on the radio.
...if you're caller number one you'll have free tickets to the [popular musician] show!...
"Hello? Did I win?"
Yes! What's your name, lucky c-
"You're in my damn living room. You know my name."
I did a search on SearchKing to find out why it sucks, but none of the hits were relevant. I guess that's why SearchKing sucks!
But wait, there's more! I searched for the same thing in Google and found this site, which is part of SearchKing. It may not explain why SearchKing sucks, but I think it might answer the question, "What are these guys smoking?"
Interesting (and I would have modded you that way if I didn't want to reply), but I think their "X" is supposed to make you think "eXtreme" - anybody who buys this box is saying that those wimpy "play"stations aren't eXtreme enough for me! I am big and strong and am well-endowed! I need a big and powerful video game system - an eXtreme one, if you will!
But it's fun to pervert the intended meaning of Microsoft products (lookOut!), so x works well as an unknown variable.
>5- Internet Explorer got 20 unfixed vulnerabilites today according to http://www.pivx.com/larholm/unpatched [pivx.com]
Application problems, not OS problems, big difference.
Unfortunately, it's irrelevant that IE is an app and not an OS because Windows won't let you remove the app. Same with Windows Media Player. As a result, any flaw with those applications must be patched, even if you have no desire to even have the applications on your system.
What bullshit. Commodore 64 as a market example? Apple beat Commmodore to the market for the first Personal Computers, although there are probably technicalities for various others, but Apple was the big first PC, then Commodore one-upped them, then IBM.
You should have kept reading. The C64 wasn't the example, the Amiga was.
Anyone can put up html with a pile of links and slap away at the keyboard for a few minutes.
That's precisely why we do need books about it. It's an attempt to improve the quality of blogs. But if you don't like blogs, you still have the freedom of going to other web sites instead.
Someone needs to teach you the difference between a comma and a coma:) I love it when people complain about grammer/spelling but they screw it up themselves.
I get the distinct impression that the Red Hat team is trying hard to not push their biases onto their users. It's fairly clear the Red Hat's developers are more adept with Gtk+/Gnome than Qt/KDE, and there's nothing wrong with that - if they were better at Qt, we'd still be having this discussion.
When you realize you have a bias towards one group, you have two options - defend your bias and try to convince others, or work extra-hard to give the other team a fair chance. I think Red Hat is trying to give KDE a fair chance because the whole idea of Linux is to give users the right to choose.
Maybe I was just sucked in to Red Hat's PR speech, but I really have to agree with their philosophy of providing a nearly identical UI on both WM's. It prevents novices from choosing one over the other just because of configuration differences such as single- vs. double-clicking icons. It annoys me to no end when a user tells me he/she didn't like product A because of a default setting that happened to be set differently in product B. In doing this, Red Hat may have made KDE "act like" Gnome, but I believe that it is inadvertant, just because the Red Hat team has gotten used to settings more typical to Gnome.
Having said all that, though, think about this: If you know the difference, you can change it. If some guy who knows nothing about Linux doesn't know the difference, will he care?
Now come on moderators, the parent comment wasn't redundant. Offtopic, maybe, but not redundant. I'm disappointed. But I may as well burn off some karma while complaining!
iMax?? Was this the latest cinema display by Apple? More than one iMac?
No! It's IMAX (all caps), the large screen. When you can't type the name correctly, you tell the audience that you don't really know the topic, and nobody who knows the proper capitalization is going to take your argument seriously. If you were hiring a IT Technician, and an applicant wrote in his resume that he had experience with Windows Nt or Mac Os, would you believe him?
Find out whether Atari basketball or Intellivision basketball plays more like real basketball....
In which version do they go on strike?
The one where they play baseball, not basketball:)
The commercial reminds me of the Simpsons episode where the family is watching a commercial for a soccer game: This match will determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on earth: Mexico or Portugal!
Do you all there know languages like the one who put there the voice of woman speaking Polish? She greeted, in perfectly pronounced Polish, the creatures that live after death, like ghosts, spectres and other Nazguls. Polish language difficult is, heh? Or the translation expensive too much?

Can we become our own nation? We're now on our way to world domination!
you have no chance to survive make your time!
let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
I'll be waiting over there, in the shadows.
It's the same size as the sample, cropped to miss out on the watermark. Did MS even pay for this image, or did they just download/crop the sample??
Actually, C only says ("%s", "Bite Me");

Yes, that was intentional.

Yeah after I made that other comment I looked down and saw that somebody else wrote the same thing. Oops.
But look, I can still post at 2! I can take advantage of this karma by posting highly-rated crap. Butt fart butt fart butt fart.

even if it is indicative of using MS Word, "smart quotes" (“ and ”) are typographically correct, rather than the double-prime symbol (").
