Trust me, the in game browser for Tribes 2 is light years ahead of CStrike and Quake 3(which doesnt even work half the time for lan games). It's easy to use, you can set up your own filters and such, and other fun things. I just wish double click = connect to server instead of refresh. I had no problem getting on the same server as a friend of mine who was sitting right next to me.
As for CStrike's browsing, it blows. Of course, there's nothing to be done for servers that insist on reserving unused slots.

The sad part is, #6 is real. At the State Fair Computer Sale, there was one table that consisted of several shovelware CD-ROMs. Besides the usual CDs of 10+ year old "haxor" files for sale, there were several emulator CDs for sale.
1. James Bond opens up an IBM thinkpad
2. (hard to see). Near the end of the movie when the base blows up, you'll see a CRT with an OS/2 bootup screen.(I think it's a bootup screen).
But what's not to say that a movie named "Corvette Summer" isn't some commercial by Chevrolet?
With TI Basic and the Terminal Emulator II cartridge, you could make the Speech Synthesizer say anything you want.
It was more fun for me to type in this small program from MICROpendium for TI Extended basic, which made the Speech Synthesizer make all sorts of strange-ass sounds. I believe one game I had for it (in Extended Basic) made a frog croaking sound from the routine.
I stil have no idea how they got the female voices from the game Parsec in it though. Looknig from an old TI magazine, they DID digitze a woman's voice to do it.
Ahh, the speech synthesizer, an underexploited piece of hardware for the TI, as well as the MBX expansion system which had speech recognition!
I have Qwest DSL/ISP for about a year now, and for the past 2 months I've been getting a staggering amount of DNS errors. I often have to click on a link twice(once for DNS error, twice to get the connection).
My work uses Qwest too for internet access, and the same problem exists. Argh.
I wonder if the disgruntled employee is named "Jarod" and subsequently disappeared after the incident with someone named "Ms Parker" and "Broots" looking for him at the efront offices a short time later.
Wow, to think webcams nowadays consist of 16 year old girls with a yahoo fan club, amazon wish list, a snotty "all guys hit on me cuz I'm so beautiful!" attitude, and absolutely no content to their website trying to be another JenniCam. Read www.daign.com for more information.
1. Buy Mortal Kombat 3 kart
2. Put your old Mortal Kombat 1 cart in MK3 box, reshrink box at work on lnuch break
3. Return for full refund
4. Imagine next customer's anger/confusion when he/she buys MK3 and gets your old MK1 cart
There's several variants to this trick, including putting broken version of same merchandise you have lyging around into box and returning for full refund to Best Buy. RedboxChiliPepper returned a modem, only instead of a modem in the box, it was crushed Pepsi cans.

I hope she doesn't live in California. one mild earthquake and all her work would be ruined!
I always wanted to take apart an old mouse, and mount two dials on the front end of the keyboard.
That way, you could have perfect orthogonal motion when doing CAD or drawing work. Doing diagonals will take some skill.
The inspiration? The Etch-A-Sketch. I dunno, call it the Etch-A-Mouse.
Darn, I thought this was gonna be about that funny show NBC used to have in the late '70s.
Boy you could just cut the sexual tension between Sarah Purcell and Skip Stephenson!
Is this OS available for the Amiga?
If you bungee jumped from it, wouldn't you slingshot yourself to a nearby planet?

Great, now I can do Tai Chi and use my computer at the same time.
Beer?
The day that happens, I will be selling really long straws to teenage kids.
Well I guess youll just have to eat some other fuel source, won't you?
Great, now there will be a plethora of website names in IBM extended ASCII D00dspeak that nobody's going to be able to type in.
General Motors, Dailmer Benz, and KIA.
Which one of these 3 doesn't belong?

Here's a picture of the working prototype. Pretty advanced stuff.

Hey isn't that bait and switch? I thought by law you had to sell it at the advertised price, regardless of the fact you put the wrong price on it.
Remember a coworker did this at Blockbuster.

Good to see e-commerce hasn't ruined the fun.
You can have your own force of Dinobots(well, Grimlock at least)
have you EVER watched Doctor Who? Time lines are screwed up left and right.
1) NOBODY would be stupid enough to make a series set so far in the past that it would mess up every timeline in existance.
