There was something like this in one of Asimov's books. The guys synapses are enhanced by a machine, then the guy starts to "feel" and "manipulate" things.
Thousands of Internet cafes throughout China have been forced to close in recent months. Those that remain are obliged to install software which filters out more than 500,000 banned sites with pornographic or "subversive" elements
So with the help of Microsoft, Chinese guys won't see "big tits".
Of course, this is not the main problem. Freedom of speech is a major concern, and I wonder how much money will go to Microsoft (and others) from Chinese taxpayers.
For most people like myself who only use their computer for 3D gaming, software development, video & image editing, writing papers, checking email, talking on IRC and reading/., well for us 1GHz is plenty.
Man, 3D gaming, video & image editing _needs_ processing power. Besides you'll be more comfortable with faster processors in developing, believe me. (Compile time counts.)
You could consider switching to w3m, a very cool console web browser. It's cool. I'd used it a lot.
Because of my job, I have to use Windows so now I'm surfing with IE6.

Thank you Bill, for everything you've done for the industry and the world.
This is an actual game that's being written with Doom 3 engine.
Test.
Come on, Windows XP Home Edition is not $199.
You aren't American, are you? :)
In my apartment complex there's an SSID which is "bring food and beer #b308" among some others. (It's an unsecured network. Duh.)
We use "Source Insight" and we are very happy. ;) It's not free, though.
Thanks a lot, Mr. Carmack, I'm eagerly waiting for that release. Thank you for all the wonderful thing you've done.
Sorry, you can't use C/C++ for ASP.NET.
You can read Eric Drexler's Engines of Creation on the matter. Quite interesting read.

... They had cars with batteries and now they have computers operating with fuel.. There's something peculiar with those Japanese guys.
And i thought my 35/month for cable (and friend's 25/month for ADSL) was expensive. :)

Depends on the age. For younger children I'd teach Visual Basic instead of QuickBasic. For older ones, I'd start with C.
Selling Open Sourced/GPLed Linux software?
Sure, quite insightful.
Third guy gets more prizes than the second.
... an extra banana!
... are cool!
They remind me of old days when the hardware was the limitation, not the IQ or skills of the coder.

Check this screen shot.
It shows a My Hardware "window".
Are we gonna see "everything is a file" concept in Longhorn too?
1Ghz is plenty for the rest of your list, though.
It would be nice if they could use the portable.net domain. C# is really good, BTW.

Yes, I've run such a system too. Find Slackware 3.5 somewhere. But, why the heck do you want to use a 486?
I suppose a dual P4, 1GB RAM and an ATI Radeon 9700 based graphics card and Windows 2000 Professional will do very well and it will be cheap enough.
