Well, you probably wanna make this a just a cool 'hang-out' place. So, I'd throw a couch and some lazyboys in there. Probably, wanna throw a mini fridge in there with your favorite drinks, too. While you at it might wanna put a big screen in there, and hookup a XBox, DC, Gamecube, PS2, etc. too it.
Thats what *I'd* put in mine. But you seem to want to have a 80s theme also. In this aspect, I'd get a couple of pinball machines, and a couple of your vintage arcade standups (i.e. classics like Pac-man and your personal favorties, mine all time fav being D&D: Tower of Doom). Then, you should look into making a standup MAME box (similar to one Taco has).
Of course, thats what I'd put in my game room. Its all dependent on how much space and money you have really. Good luck and have fun!
Was this agreement maid pre-Wizard or back in the TSR days? If it was made back with TSR, then it makes sense (TSR was having troubles finacaliy if I recall). But nowadays, I don't see why Wizards couldn't just publish it themselves. I'd be very suprised if they didn't already have a few published titles and more so if they couldn't handle this one.
By running your own linux box, you have to be your own admin and user, while being your own programmer is highly arguable (although it would be to your benefit to learn at least the basics of some unix shell languages). So, while you might not be directly interested in some of the articles when you first read the magazine; just set it aside and it might be something that you'll be interested in later.
Not in my town anyway, I was at Toys R Us (in Arlington, VA) on Friday Night and I saw at *least* 15-20 Xbox's that were stacked up over the window into the video gaming area. I'd have to assume that they were probably stacked on top of more Xboxs, and I have no idea if they had any extra Gamecubes, as I didn't go over there, nor do I know if they are still there. Worth a shot if your local, though... or distant (and insane *cough* Taco *cough*)
Well, if you get a Happy Hacking Keyboard then the ESC key is where the tilde is on a regular ol' keyboard. Couple other changes like caps is replaced with ctrl. Its supposed to be great for working with *nix command lines, vi, etc.
I don't really see the translation, or how you could be more productive if you had the VI bindings. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I honestly don't think that it would translate.
I didn't intend for this to be a troll, please do not view it as one.
I'd assume the difference lies within the only difference.. the file name. 15 is more then 0 so there would be a slight increase in the 4 series kernel.
IIRC, This was a problem after Q3 was released. With people using other people's legitamate keys. You had to call Id and they would issue a new key... or I could just have a horrible memory:P
While your plan seems noble enough, it would never fly in the real world (at least in my county, from which all my experiences are drawn). The people in charge of upgrading OS'es are drasticly slow (we still use 95 on the PC and some 8.x release on the Mac side), the primary cited reason being they would have to rescript all the custom scripts.
About the 'one linux system' idea, the interest isn't there. Explaining to somebody that you could emulate a program, doesn't make any sense when they are already running the native OS anyway.
I'm not saying that linux can't be deployed in institutions such as schools, etc. (and it has, see here); but dumping something like this upon people that aren't interesting, isn't a good idea and is a waste of money.
MHz is a somewhat misleading term anyhow. 1 GHz on a G4 isn't the same as the same 1 GHz on a P3 core or K7... MHz can't be used as a sole number indicated the performance of the chip. You can see all this in Intel clocking their chip really quick but they are still beaten by slower AMD chips, which is why AMD changed their marketing scheme.
What *should* happen, is everyone should argee on a standardized benchmark, which is OS & architecture independent, that would become the single number comparsion between two chips. Although, I highly doubt everyone would argree to such a single benchmark....
The 'faster uploads' is a misdirection if you're an average user, you have to sacrifice download speed to get the upload speed, so while you can have 50-56k uploads, it means going back to 33.6k downloads.
Umm... what? The upload speed is increased to 48 Kbps, and download is still 56k (although the FCC cap is still at 53k). You wouldn't be able to download at 48 Kbps while downloading at 53 Kbps anyway (or 33.6 Kbps for that matter...) as it all uses the same pipe of 53 Kbps.
Well, I'd take WinRAR instead of WinZIP (its better, imho; its smaller; and it handles more file types). I'd probably also put TweakUI on there, as well as VNC (both the client and the server). A bunch of generic nic drivers. Some sort of ftp client (whatever is your favorite). There are tons of more stuff that you could argue to take, and you could probably take alot of it. And it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to make the whole damn thing bootable, and don't forget to load that generic oak cd driver. 50 mb is alot for a rescue disk....
On the linux side... First off, don't make a jack of all trades windows and linux disc. Make two seperate disks for two seperate OS's. And, before you go making a list of all the linux programs, check out tomsrbt. Although it was made with the 1.44mb limitation of regular floppys in mind, its a great starting point. And with the addition space you can add all the other goodies that he had to leave out due to the room.
I whole heartly agree. You could argue that the mp3 rage these days is all because of the media attention Napster was getting during its trial. Every night on the evening news, Napster was the main story, so some guy says "that sounds cool" and downloads the client and leeches the night away. And now that napster is all but completely useless, most people have moved onto other p2p communities (probably Morpheus \KaZaA).
Even in a post napster world, the media likes publicizing(sp?) alternate ways of getting stuff. For example, I was watching CNBC of all channels and they were discussing napster, and one anchor said "nah, napster is dead. Mourpeus is the good one now."
Once you educate the masses, its impossible to unlearn them.
It would be legal for you to download an mp3 version of the System of Down album, because you own a legal hardcopy verison of it. Some RIAA freak might try and take that right away from you, but its covered under fair use... The same way roms are legal provided you own the original game.
In theory, it will work. However, it will probably wreak havoc apon the design of your page (probably, however your results may vary). An alternate idea that I was thinking is to use the actual character entities for the email (i.e. cow4263yahoocom), although I have to admit, my knowledge on auto-spammers is somewhat limited seeing as how I don't use them.
Another anti-spam method is described on this previous/. article. But, we are slowly getting offtopic, so I'll degress
Tom's Hardware recently did a review of 5 KVM switches. They gave the top nob to, not suprisingly, the Belkin F1DS102T, which has some nifty features such as audio and usb switching.
Simply put, all instant messaging platforms will lose money, or break even if lucky. I'm willing to bet that those ads they put in the clients (which are only there if the clients are wiling to have them) are worth just a little over nothing. I think AOL just likes having a monopoly on the whole Instant Message market, probably hoping to get some of those AIM accounts into full-fledged AOL accounts (I'd like to see some numbers on how many people actually 'upgrade' to AOL from their AIM screennames). When they bought up ICQ, that should have been a message to everyone that they just want all instant message traffic to go through their servers for whatever unknown reason.
Anyway, I don't know if non-corpate IM protocals are economically viable at all, especially when ad banners are all but worthless these days.
I can see it being used most, as chris mentioned (is he new?), in a paid server envirnoment. You could have (if i understand it correctly) your own envirnoment that you have root access on and complete control over all the daemons that are run, etc. at a much lower cost then running a dedicated machine.
I could see this being a hit among people who love having their own configurations, that don't have the need (or money) for their own server.

I'd love to see a comparison of all the various tech sites and their various hardware and bandwidth (and usage stats)....

If I were you, I'd block access to port 6667 on all the SQL servers.
Its not really a 'solution' to the problem, but its a temporary fix that'll do until a real comes around.
I'd assume the difference lies within the only difference.. the file name. 15 is more then 0 so there would be a slight increase in the 4 series kernel.
Just a thought...

If I had to guess, I'd say that they are refering to the numberous accessories and stuff already made for the IIIxe. Just a guess though
I believe he is refering to some sort of graphical config tool for SSH, not the actual client side connection.

Although not what you asked for per se, ZZZ has tons of various projects and gadgets, some homemade, others manufactored. Worth checking out.
