Uh yeah video cards do work on the same plug and play concept. It's called VESA. And it sucks.
You can setup X to work with VESA just fine. Oh wait, you don't know how to do that? I wouldn't call it 'not' compatible just because you don't know how to configure X.
NVidia has some great binary drivers you can use with X. Download them from NVidia.com; an installer is included.

No, Nintendo may have monetarily the best console out right now (assuming it costs less to build than a PS2), but I don't think anyone would claim that the XBox is not the best technically. Two words: hard drive.
Three words for you: source of failure. Sure the hard drive might be great now but let's see how great it is when you want to play an XBox game ten years from now when the disc is bad. Will they even be making compatible disks then?
Gee that's amazing considering how the web was invented during the time of IPv4. See here for information about IPv5. IPv1 is probably lost to antiquity by now.
Games done for the love of it, but not for profit?
Wow that would great, but it sure wouldn't make any economic sense. Games today are huge in scope requiring not just programmers but an army of trained graphics professionals. Somehow I don't think they would all be willing to work on something 'for the fun of it.' They have mortages to be paid you know;-)
I will upload the project tonight for your downloading pleasures. And yes, of course it's GPL! Well actually it doesn't really have any licenses yet, so it will probably end up being GPL or BSD.
I wrote a BHO to help me leech pr0n. You know those websites that have a big table of thumbnails and each thumbnail is a link to the real picture? Well I wrote a BHO which would enumerate all links that pointed to pictures and then download them. It was smart and inserted the Referer tag so that it would download correctly. It's a sweet BHO if you ask me.
I seriously doubt that. While it would push the hardware, it would not push it as much as a gamecube (imo, the gamecube actually as a pretty easy time with it, though, i don't see it 'pushing' the gamecube at all. Facts are facts, and the Xbox *does* have more power than the Gamecube, ask any professional/dev/journalist. Hell, go look at Splinter Cell for all three platforms -- while not much, the gamecube version WAS toned down a bit, because the gamecube DID have a slightly harder time with it.
They are both powerful. XBox has a better GPU, Gamecube has a better CPU (while clocked slower, the PowerPPC romps an x86 anyday).
Saying that the Cube had a harder time with Splinter cell is a little misleading however. Clearly it is a port from another system. Ports are usually done hastely: they need to get to market fast. So the developers didn't spend a lot of time optimizing it for the Cube as they could have. When you have the same game ported across all systems, they will obviously not run all the same. The only way to make a fair comparison is if you took the development team, magically cloned them twice and had them develop on all platforms simultaneously.
While it is true that IE does not have a whitelist feature for ActiveX controls, you can get the same protective functionality. You can set your security level to prompt to install ActiveX, or simply disable altogether.
Your post seems to suggest that all ActiveX controls are blindly downloaded and run, which is clearly not the case. A smart user (not too many of them) will know how to disable ActiveX installations.

Is this true? Does Intel put a 3GHz label on 1.5GHz dual/core CPU's or whatever this hyperthreading is? Sounds dual/core-ish to me...
No. As you said yourself, your friend is a moron.
It's a good thing the G5 stole the x86's lunch money, because it's going to need it when it comes time to buy one!

Antidisestablishmentarianism?
Try Windows Services for Unix.
Now try comparing them on the kernel level. How is Windows inferior to Linux? Remember, only the kernel.
The Nintendo where stuff actually happens is in Japan.

Could this be an attempt to stay competitive now that Intel's High Definition Audio is coming?
With this advanced audio appearing on most of Intel's new boards, it would seem to me that Creative's market is disappearing.
They could assign a new error code, but according to the HTTP RFC, server errors are always the 5xx branch.
So maybe 569?

Here you go!
That might be able to keep the newbies at bay. Anybody with half a brain would just open up the PC, reset the CMOS and have at it.

I think I see your problem. You should become Atlas instead of Hercules! I hear he can bear more on his shoulders...

If you RTFA, you'd realize that motherboard makers already have figured out how to unlock it.
Try MyIE2. It's awesome. All the features you want (including tabbed browsing) and then some.

You'll be waiting a long time. Execs at Nintendo have stated that the day Nintendo stops making console hardware is the day they go out of business.
For as much as I've read, programming for Nintendo is notoriously easy. The PS2 is the bitch to code for.
ATA should be enough for everybody right?
If the Gamecube is not seen at all then why has it sold more units than the XBox?
Just because you and your friends don't like the Cube doesn't mean it's not being seen. Just not seen by you.
Agreed on the last sentence: more games = more fun for all.
