But there was some killer high-end stuff for the PC architecture!
Anyone remember the Intergraph workstations? They had custom 3d hardware. In late '98 (or was it early 99?) we had an Intergraph with Wildcat graphics. 16MB framebuffer and 64MB texture (I may have it backwards). Highly accelerated, and killer. We used it to run ballistics and weather simulations.
There was a DOS based client (V1 or V2). It was based on GEOS. I ran it on my 10MHz 286 back in the early '90s. Man that was slow... 1200Baud (not bps) modem, 10MHz 286, non-accelerated framebuffer graphics.
(d) 0.8 for each megabyte of memory in each removable electronic memory card, each removable flash memory storage medium of any type, or each removable micro-hard drive;
So, if you buy a 10GB microdrive for your PDA or laptop, you get to give $80 to the record companies!
\i{A better anology is that "since shoplifting is common and unstoppable, stores will raise their prices to compensate."}
No, a better analogy is "since shoplifting is common and unstoppable, the government will collect taxes and just give them to the parent companies of the stores."
A parsec is the distance where an object will have a parallax of one second of arc, using the diameter of Earth's orbit as a baseline. PARallax of one SECond, hence the name "Parsec". This distance is approximately 3.26 light years.

OK, he's talking about mainstream gaming stuff...

Dude, do the math, that's $2100 (42 items).
What the hell did the OP have to do with MCSE? He was talking about MS Certified software (i.e. Windows Logo'ed software).
geeks. Here in crappy ole Iowa
Remember Gateway2000's earliest ads?
COMPUTERS FROM IOWA????

I guess resistance wasn't futile after all (for the security guards)
The article is short. Registration is long

Ira Howard, please phone home!
If code was apolitical, then why is there the Gallery of CSS Descramblers?
In many cases, they're written as a political statement against the DMCA and the DVD-CCA.
No, but the RIAA pushing them on us is a rim job...
I'm waiting for the RIAA to sue AOL/TW for DMCA violations.
by factoring all the large primes that could have been used for the key
:-)
Hmmm... P1 factors: 1 and P1; P2 factors 1 and P2.
Yes, I know what you meant (by determining all large prime factors that could have been used...), but it was too good to pass up.
Come on, we've got to get Mothra vs. Donald and Gamera vs. Goofy somwhere in there too! :-P
You win. That's what I was looking for. Thanks.
Hence the Army's move 2 years ago [appleturns.com] to a more secure system. Who's the jarhead now?
Uh, the Marines? No offense intended to any leathernecks out there. But when I dealt with the Army and the USMC, the Marines were the jarheads.
Dude, remember that the DoD has a rather different idea of "Secure" than the average website (.com OR .gov).
When they say "secure", they're talking Orange Book. They're talking about lives in the balance. "Secure" means, "If you fucked up, somebody died."
The interface to Howitzers ran on Solaris (AFATDS), SCO Openserver (IFSAS), or proprietary systems (Paladin, LTACFIRE).
Don't forget this!

$0.008/MB * 10GB * 1000MB/GB = $80.00

Or how about a single disk image of my Win2K C: drive? Hangs head in shame...
Or an image of my Linux partition? Or how about combining all 7 CDs in the Mandrake 8.1 PowerPack into a single DVD or...
Highlights has tech articles next to "The Timbertoes" and "Goofus and Gallant"??? Wow, kiddie mags have come a long way!
No it wouldn't. Haven't you ever heard AOL'ers complain about the automatic update whether they want it or not? (I know my dad did at one point).
With IE commanding over 90% of the market,
Yeah, but if AOL goes Gecko, then that number should instantly drop to about 60%.
pc=parsec.

So now we find that the universe is simply off-color?
No, it's the planet transsexual in the galaxy of transylvania
