Hah... you call that crappy! I play Quake3 and TFC for Half-Life on my Pentium 233mHz with 128 MB of RAM and a Voodoo3 32 MB. If I can do that, I think a P4 1.7GHz with even a GeForce2 beats the crap out of my comp for games. I can just imagine it... Oh no, I can't play Halo! Oh me oh my, what shall I do?
Completely Legacy-Free?

Legacy-Free PCs

· Score: 1, Interesting
If you use e-mail, the web, etc., it's not legacy free. E-mail, at this point, can be considered a legacy system. Not to mention IP... 1981. Not new. I don't think that legacy-free PCs (or anything else) will truly exist for a long time.
You've never done any Perl or shell programming, have you? That backwards apostropy is great for executing commands in scripts. Also, you ever played an FPS? Guess which key the console is bound to... the backwards apostrophe! (actually the tilde, but noone ever listens) I like my ancient layouts. The only one that should go is that goddamn caps lock.
The ISPs could also try checking all the TTLs (time to live) of the packets. Many routers don't set this value to be one specific value, and multiple computers have multiple TTLs. Thus, it is an excellent indication of multiple computers. Also, if you happen to be using Linux kernel 2.4, netfilter nat modules happen to change the TTL to one certain value.
PDAs are excellent for serial reading, e.g. The Count of Monte Cristo (got it from PG). It is *extremely* portable, the screen isn't straining on the eyes, and I can read in odd moments (walking between classes). Man pages, eh. It's ok, but not preferable. The format of the pages doesn't convert well to a 160x160 pixel screen. Huge, indexed documents (like most stuff from TLDP) are actually easier than man pages, because they have the big index, plus navigation buttons on all the pages. Not to mention, you have space for all the huge, indexed documents that would otherwise be in those loose-leaf binders. Even with only a measily 8 megs of RAM on my Visor Platinum, I still have enough stuff to keep me occupied for a couple of days.
So....
since the source is released,
how long before someone releases an ASCII art version of it with aalib?
windows + robocoaster = BAD

Yikes. Not only does it have Windows, so it crashes in the middle of the ride (scary thought for them passengers), it also has internet connectivity. I can just imagine this conversation: "Hmm, hey whoa, d00d, look, this site I cracked into is a roller coaster simulator! Let's make the riders puke!"
It is said in the FAQ that you guys might include a duplicate checker *IF* it didn't have a performance hit. Well, I would believe that this whole comment section for this article is just that. A performance hit. SOMEONE FIX THE DUPLICATES! It couldn't be worse than a fix. And seeing... not one, but TWO!!!!! articles on the front page.

Excellent movie, made back in 1974.
It's about the taking of a New York subway train, and it's just damned cool.

Even my mom got mad at this "error" by the AP guys. It's time to nail them with correctional mail.
