What is "Massive Mosaic"? Is it a retro-fitting of a retro-browser to include realistic CGI representations of large-scale Orc battles? Since it is Canadian, the orcs say to the Rohirrim: "We shall taste man flesh, eh? Take off, ya horsers!"
I can't wait: instead of a "Reload" button there is a "Breach Helms Deep Wall" button. And since it is Mosaic, it is refreshingly free of Java and Java Script: we all know that if we were given a choice between an Orbitz popup and an Uruk-Hai head appearing above the edge of a stone wall, we'd choose the latter.
The older games had better graphics. Hold on a sec, don't reach for that troll button just yet!
What I mean is that a lot of the games (not by choice) were easier to look at. Too many of the more recent games have gone "muddy low-contrast black and brown" making things rather hard to see. The worst I would say is Doom for the N-64: all dark brown and black with a few flashes of red and green here and there. Now, while it wasn't realistic, there was no annoying and pointless urge to aim a flashlight at the screen when you played old Atari-2600 "Adventure" or "Breakout"
Not all modern games are this way, and the "cel-animation style" trend is a refreshing step toward clarity, and recent "Final Fantasy" games appear to be stepping out of the Dark Ages, achieving leading-edge "realism" without the darkness and fuzziness.
The cyberhome 300 at Best Buy is about $29 or $39 right now, and it you can change region by pressing a few buttons on the remote. It plays DVD-R's, and DVW-RW as well.
"He then said they had four of these monster emulators at the AFB."
They had to shut down this project, of course, after the Rodan emulator wiped out half the base.
The Mothra emulator was sold to Saddam Hussein in 1987, and its current whereabouts are unknown, but its presence in Saddam's arsenal, combined with his poor knowledge of English, might have inspired the "Mothra of All Battles" phrase used in 1991.
Now, run every single possible emulator available for each OS (from Sinclair Spectrum to CP/M to Atari 8-bit to N-64). That would multiply whatever "wow!" factor is involved here.
This protects the court, because if the code itself became part of the court records, SCO would have to sue the court itself for violation of SCO intellectual property.
Uninstall? Welcome to the Windows world. Most applications that you "try, find out they are crap, and uninstall" leave pieces of themselves all over the system directory and registry.
I'm still using Winamp 2 because they later started to degrade the project with bloating. Is this one really good, and is there any whiff of "DRM" to tell me what I cannot do with my own content on my own machine?
I was playing "Star Trek" and "Zelda". A very odd video game meld, ah. As I aimed the hook-shot at Ganondorf. I turned and said "Now, fire your cannon, Worf!"

You are comparing Mr. Ballmer to Uncle Fester?
Does this mean that if you put a lightbulb in his mouth it will light up, or at least produce a blue-screen-of-death?
My Apex lets me skip these with ease.
We have to be ready.

"54 os's on one power book, 54 on one 'book!"
"Shut one down, and cycle around, 53 os's on one power book"

"Fibonacci, Lucas, who cares? Both of them seem to have achieved their place in (mathematical) history rather cheaply"
Do you mean George Lucas?

"...each system, and also hacks and tips on getting the nasty ones installed. "
As soon as I saw "nasty ones" mentioned, I checked the list: Yes, Windows ME is on it.
Now, run every single possible emulator available for each OS (from Sinclair Spectrum to CP/M to Atari 8-bit to N-64). That would multiply whatever "wow!" factor is involved here.
"....a porn gathering spider to....
That thing's going to build one nasty sticky web!
It was called "my brother": I'd drum on his empty head every time he annoyed me playing NES games.
That and the 3 Musketeers. Are they bigger too? Will they charge the same?
This is to be followed by Super Mari-Oboe

"We find this Court to be in contempt of SCO!!!"
And what if it is the software itself that does not follow proper uninstall procedures? What then?
I call it "splatterware": installation of software that splatters itself all over the hard disk.
I did a double-take recently when I downloaded mplayerc.exe: it was self-contained! Just one file.
Uninstall? Welcome to the Windows world. Most applications that you "try, find out they are crap, and uninstall" leave pieces of themselves all over the system directory and registry.
"...I keep expecting the obligitory post stating that "some other OS is dying"....."
Well, somewhere in the world at this very moment an OS is dying.
Hard to be modded Troll for a statement like this!

You broke through my writer's block!
I was playing "Star Trek" and "Zelda".
A very odd video game meld, ah.
As I aimed the hook-shot at Ganondorf.
I turned and said "Now, fire your cannon, Worf!"
I gave up: I could never find anything that rhymed with Ganondorf.
And the nerds that will be looked down on are the ones who still like Star Trek.
I was thinking of the time when Roger Waters quit Pink Floyd. Then he sued to try to prevent the band from still using the name Pink Floyd.
At one time, the band considered changing their name to "Roger Waters is an A**hole"
