...has some hunters wondering if the trophy animal they bag could eventually kill them.
Of course they could always mount the head on the wall, then one day while they are standing under it the nail lets loose and the antlers of the trophy runs through their neck.
You'll need to replace the power supply because the connectors will not match what you need for your "generic" MB. You can get around this by rewiring the connector but it is not worth the time involvement. Also, the front panel buttons and LEDs won't match up with the motherboard's connectors so you have to do some meddling here too. All in all it is not worth buying the old Dell and putting new stuff in it unless you have time to kill... just buy a new case.
At my current employer, I am employee #19, so I'm hardly a founder. Yet if they were to come to me and offer me $7.6 million to go away I'd turn it down because I want to be a part of their future, no matter what that is.
Why do you think that the trouble-causers in 40 years will have "new technology" for their fight? In 40 years, the same shit will still prevail... some asshole (the future equivalent of Sodomy Hussein or Osama bin Dipshit) will try to fuck up the world, the U.S. will gain air superiority (read "whatever technology these assholes have is irrelevant") and bomb the shit out of them. If someone had any kind of real technology, they wouldn't go around with a chip on their shoulder picking suicidal, pointless fights... they'd develop a huge market for their technology and make enough money that they wouldn't give a shit what anyone thinks of them and their ideas.
It's probably not the software, but the name Noga chose. More than likely, he thought of LegOS when this was his own little tinkering project and didn't think it would take off and become a visible issue. Now he probably doesn't want to change the name and cause confusion the community of people working on LegOS, but Lego doesn't want users to incorrectly think LegOS is a product that Lego controls and supports.
We've got new Dells in my office, and the keyboards suck, plain and simple, and the m$ wheel mouse is not much better. Like you, I'm still using my old keyboard from a 486, still has a nice feel to it.
In the author's scenerio involving old machines, how could you install such a video card. An old 486 is probably going to have VESA slots at best. No PCI, no AGP... no way to use a modern video card.
This video shows a demonstration gone bad. It appears that a Windows CE handheld playing ancient Miami Sound Machine music shorted out while Balmer had it in his pocket.
The air force has recently realized that they aren't interested in winning air battles 51-49; they want 100-zip.
Good point, but I often wonder if it's the military who wants this or a populace that will not accept a "good fight" where virtually everyone returns home in one piece?

Don't forget duct tape!
Imagine that, the government finally came up with a program encouraging people to give head.
It's not just for entertainment, they also do it for food. If people aren't supposed to eat animals then why are they made out of meat?

How do they enforce the pantyhose rule to make sure you are not wearing thigh-highs?

There are nice ones here as well.

Classic lines, thanks for the memories.
What would become of Slashdot?
I think they will sell our usernames and posts to Frys.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
