DAMN FANTASTIC SHOW, BTW, but the point is: yes, Green Lasers (especially) can be that visable and that vibrant.

WCW aired on Ted Turner's network. CNN is a news station...
I watched a LOT of WCW. Since VKM bought them, I haven't watched much wrestling. A couple pay-per-views at the local Hooters and a few RAWs and SDs, but not much. I preferd WCW. I don't care much for VKM's version. I never really did. That's I watched WCW.

Intel expects consumer versions of the digital media adapter to begin showing up during 2003.
Based on an estimated total bill-of-materials (BOM) cost in the neighborhood of $79, Intel anticipates that PC vendors will bundle the media adapters with multimedia PCs in order to allow consumers to deliver music and video to their entertainment centers from their PCs
Adventure is among my top favorite games of all time.
Hands down!
OK, so the graphics weren't that good (even for that time), but EASILY one of the best games of all time. I have no idea how many hours I spent in front of my old 2600 (the second one, I killed the first one when I plugged the wrong Wall-Wart into it... just like my old Speak 'n' Spell...).
I never could remember the name of the game, to be honest, but I still think of it all the time. The dragons, the mazes, the castles... Damn. I was only like 9 or 10 then.
Good thing I got to this early enough to DL the mod. I just hope the *NIX version of Q3A will run it...:-\
I'm pretty sure if you had to pay $.25 an hour for Internet access, you would have a much more conservative attitude.
You're damn right I would! I'm not infering different.

It was only a few years ago that I was paying $3 an hour for access, and only a few years before that I was dialing up Prodigy long distance for around $6
I feel very bad for you. I'm with what was called at one time Erols. They got swallowed by RCN a few years ago. I've been paying the same rate for almost 5 years now. I THINK (IIRC), when I signed with Erols, it was like $172US a month. Since RCN grabbed them, it went up to $178US a YEAR. That's $14.83 a month. Dirt cheap. This goes back to around '95 or '96 (I honestly forget when I first signed with them).

Even for you, it's more of a luxury than a need.
Yup. You are right again. It is a luxury; one which I'm getting every cent out of. I have been for a bunch of years now. And to reitterate a previos agreement, yes, I wouldn't be doing this if I was paying hourly.
If you have a 24/7 need (ie, running a server) you probably won't use dialup anyway.
Although I 100% agree with you, I'm on 56gay and my line is up 24/7. I pay $178US a year. I can run whatever I want (yea, it's just a modem but, still...). I run SSH, my own mail, etc. And anytime anyone in the household sits down to a machine on the LAN, the Internet will be there. Anytime I need to check on my LAN or need a 100% external connection from work for testing or something, it's there. Granted I happen to have a pretty damn good ISP (I only get hung up on every 1.5 to 2 weeks (yes, seriously).
The point is, what I pay a year is what (roughly) these folks over there would pay a month.
You can't tell me that their is any linux distro that can match Windows ease of use. If their is, why arent the masses jumping on that bandwagon???
NOW who is being naive?
Have you not read the stories about M$'s strangle hold (or maybe a good Ric Flair style Figure-4?) on the OEM companies? Are you not aware that companines can not install ANY other OS in tandum with Win* on their machines? Remember the story about Dell putting FreeDOS on their machines just so they could beat the M$ policy?
So why aren't the masses jumping on it (Linux)? Because they are (almost) not allowed to buy a machine that doesn't run Win*.
The second parent post in the list (that matters) gets a redundant score. I HOPE someone gets to meta-moderate this one...

Saving the $100 over XP is just not worth it to an IT staff.
BUNK!
When you buy XP, what do you get? You get something that will boot your machine (most of the time) and get you on the internet.
Whan you buy a Linux Distro what do you get? Something that will boot your machine, get you on the internet, AND give you all the software you need to write your report, build web pages, run a server (several of them, http, irc, smb, etc.), etc, etc, etc.
AND you only need to BUY IT ONCE. With XP, you have to buy it for every machine that you need it running on. With Linux you buy one copy and put it on as many machines as you want.
It's not the IT folks that need the convincing (as you see I already am), it the Big Wigs that just don't or won't get it. THAT is the hard part to overcome. Trust me. I've been fighting this battle for almost 2 years now.
