I don't buy many games. My son downloaded a demo version of Red Alert a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed watching him play. He had to "think" about what he was going to do. I got hooked myself. We got a copy of Tiberiun (sp?) Sun.
It's great! Have to manage resources, setup defenses and coordinate weapon systems to win.
Now if only I could get DSL. Cable modems are about a month away, but, I don't like all the restrictions. If I'm going to pay for "always on" I want to be free to anything I want to, as long its not commercial.
My 56k is much better than that 300 I started with. I can wait.
I saw a poster years ago about the next generation of computers.
It was like a 3d bar chart comparing the US to Japan in the race. The US bar was much higher. People (men) where drawn on top of each bar. The Americans where fighting each other, like king of the hill stuff. The Japanese where standing on each others shoulders.
Funny, haven't thought about that picture in years.

I saw a TV program about the people in Silicone Valley that are driving this internet explosion.
Most seemed to be in their 30's. Quick math tells me they where 10ish when personal computers started hitting the market. These people grew up with the technology.

I semi understand how this works. I don't have
a radio that will work at that frequency. Could
I tune to a distant TV station and get the same
effect?

I spent lots of time and money in front of an
arcade version of this game back in 78-79!
Never saw another one since then.

I can understand that.

How many of you know someone who refuses to
learn another programming language?
Why, I've used this for years. Works fine for
me!
just a thought
They can't do it now?
What if MS was forced to release the code?
What if it's so poorly written that nobody would
want to try to fix it?
like the old saying
"those that can, do
those that can't, teach"
those with cash can buy what they can't do
isn't there another company that likes to buy
what it can produce on it's on?
this is an ignorant comment not flamebait
MS was added to the DOW last week.

man would this be great for a flight simulator
and
a 3d sound system
+/- g simulator built into the chair
screw all that, could get a small plane for
what the display costs!
Can't they think ahead any further than that?
Athlons will be dirt cheap within a year.
But, K6's should be nearly free by then. Maybe

This would be good news for AMD, I'm a fan of AMD.
the Constitution allows for cheap (slave) labor

Article XIII.
Section 1.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within
the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Given China's low cost labor (slave) and a
free operating system, they could just flood
the world with cheap computers.
The people working in silicon can just buy

I hope I'm not the only /. reader that wants to

What is a distribution?
Any FAQs that explain how to make a distribution?
Is it something I could do?
I think it's just a way to create all the needed
directories and move files into them.
Thanks
