Using the Sun logo when showing a Sun story doesn't leave any ambiguity (heck, it says SUN all over it), but the swirly cup used on a generic (non-Sun specific) Java discussion waters down their trademark... kind of the whole Kleenex/Band-Aid sort of thing (though I still don't usually think of Sun when I hear 'Java', like I don't think of Kimberly Clark when I hear Kleenex - just any old tissue substance).
Actually APL would seem to be a natural...
The take and drop symbols for the actual projectiles, the 'grade-up' (christmas tree-looking-thingy) would be a good player/shooter, and the transpose (looks like a null), quotequad (bloody phonebooth), ln/log (pentagram), and some of the others would make great little aliens... hmmm, time to go work on that...
Yup, or you can use programs like Exceed, X-Win32, etc. to host apps or full sessions on Windows. I usually run Exceed, with X traffic forwarded and compressed through an ssh session - works rather well. Exceed will also allow you to run a full desktop session, instead of just selected apps.
VNC works well (I use that, too), but an X-server allows you to connect to more types of hosts and only send the individual windows that you want... of course, I run the Citrix stuff at work, since there isn't a supported version of Notes for AIX (although 4.5.2 runs...).
Saw them perform "Tubes" several years back in NYC (just off Broadway). Great stuff, and I was close enough to the front to make full use of the poncho...
That's pretty scary for March 99... IIRC, A P-II/450 was running for *far* less than a grand in fall of 98, and the C-400 was ~$100 at that same time. The drive is also overpriced, since that same month, I had bought a couple of 14GB 7200 RPM IDE drives for ~$135/each... March 99 seems awful wrong there... --
Very few laptops are "standard" x86 architecture... and IBM laptops have a lot of custom hardware in them, which isn't too surprising. Though it is increasingly more common for laptops to be more generic under the covers, the large majority of them still require a lot of non-standard things. The chipset is vastly different on all of them - it's not a vanilla BX/i820/whatever (those tend to get rather hot). There isn't intentional breakage, just hardware optimizations given the constraints that a laptop has. Laptops have never been upgradable (save for memory/HD, and those are manufacturer specific - either by interface or physical connecter). Just because it wasn't designed to run BSD (or Linux), and they didn't patch the appropriate parts doesn't mean they "broke" it intentionally.
If you want something good - try his book "Dave Barry Slept Here (a sort of history of the United States)". Great reading and very funny. The man took it upon himself to educate the masses after a survey of high school history student revealed that 75% of them though that Abraham Lincoln was "c) some type of lobster." It's definitely worth a read... that, and I was born on October 8th (no, really, I'm not making this up).
I'm sure whoever drops $60k+ on this thing could afford an RF switchbox... most of the consoles have that as part of the std equip, but even so, they aren't all that hard to find. You could always use an old C=64 monitor, too 8^)
Played Paperboy at my cousin's house at Thanksgiving, along with some other games (the yearly conquests to beat Rad Racer, Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Island & Mystery Mansion all in one sitting). Too bad I left A Boy and His Blob at my place... what a game... mmmm.... jellybeans.... --

Linux Routers
·
· Score: 3
I just got the Linksys router/nat box, replacing that function in my linux box. I must say, even having run ip masq for the last couple years, the little Linksys does a great job. It has all the VPN behind NAT support built in (can be a pain with IPChains), port forwarding, DMZ option for a system, DHCP, web-interface. Not to mention that it is quicker at routing the IPSec VPN traffic than the linux box was (a K6-2 500 with 2 3c509s). Some models have a built in 10/100 switch, so you don't even need another hub (though I seem to be in no short supply of those).
It is small, makes no noise (not an issue for where I use it - 10krpm scsi drives and fans take care of that), works well and is easily configured. All for ~$130... saves on power, if you had a system dedicated to only the masq/firewalling, too.
There's no client license or anything - just use up all the IPs you want. Good stuff. --
Yeah, and everyone will need an OC-3, too - with Office and all other apps stored remotely, the link will be a major issue... heck, even the dialer for the modem will be stored remotely;-) --
It would be rather simple to make some basic changes.
Whoever wins the entire state gets the 2 senate seat votes, and whoever wins each house district gets the appropriate vote... this is an automatic 3 for the small states, of course, but would break up the larger states such as NY, CA, FL, IL, MI, PA, etc... so that you wouldn't see that 55 vote swing. The two Senate seat votes give you that popular vote edge, but the others come down more locally. It would be interesting to calculate what that would have resulted in for this election...
Really only one, since one could be at the end, where an ISA slot, or unused case slot might be - Usually the PCI slots don't usually reach to the last slot opening on the case, so one extra won't be a big issue... --
Though that is true according to Oxford, there's still a lot of textbooks that haven't grasped that.
Maybe I should start a campaign to rid the English language of all words that end in 're', but that would end up quite silly, with such sentences as "I heer you've been over theer" (though in some accents, this wouldn't be distinguishable). --
Yeah, here it's the 'English' system (or 'Standard Units'/'Standard Measure'). The US doesn't like to think of the units as 'Imperial', because that would mean that someone besides the US had an empire, and we used to be a part of it... the country is a little sore still (we're young, we'll get over it).
Meter, theater, center. Metre is unpronounceable;-)
A five pack of beer is shaped really funny, and takes more effort to pack multiple units together. Ten packs aren't so bad, but if a case turned into 20 instead of 24, we'd have a lot of upset people...
And also, why are hot dogs sold in packs of 10, when hot dog buns are sold in packs of 8 or 12!!! it just never adds up 8^) --

Don't forget "Dave Barry Slept Here" (my personal favorite) and "Dave Barry's Guide to Homes and Other Black Holes"
DBSH is still the funniest book I think I've ever read. Besides, anybody who makes we want to test the Exploding Pop-Tart Theory is OK by me...

The GeForce 2 would be AGP - which is a separate bus from the Northbridge... That frees up one (though most boards top out at 5 slots, some have 6)...

The easiest thing to do is get a board with two PCI busses...
