USB is not the best way to run every device. PS2 style works much better for mice and keyboards. I have yet to use a USB printer. Homemade circuits are not easy to hook up to USB. Text terminals on USB?! Actually, the only thing I own that uses USB is my mouse, and I run it on a PS2 adapter.

Software may not rely on the extension anymore (what does the OS have to do with it?), but it's still a nice thing to see. You just have to look at the filename and you know what type it is. Unless some moron changed it, but then you can just use 'file' or whatever you like. Although I see your point. The filesystem could store filetypes independant of the filenames, and then they could still be presented in directory listings etc. I don't have a problem with the way it is not, so I don't really care:)
Yahoo is beneficial? I haven't looked at it in about 8 years. Although they use google's engine now right? I guess they are providing google with some cash.

Relative to the universe huh? What exactly IS the center of the universe then? HRM! You can use the universe as a reference because there is no point you can be relative to! That's like if I asked you to tell me what number is halfway between infinity and zero.

Ummm...that's like saying the same thing. They aged less because they experienced 1/50sec less time than everyone else. Everyone else experienced 1/50sec more time than them. Either way you say it, they traveled into the future 1/50 of a sec more than they normally would have.

Actually, if you want to MORE than 10 seconds into the future in 10 seconds of your time, all you have to do is run around in circles while counting. Because you are at a higher velocity, time dialates (a REALLY REALLY small amount) and you actually travel more than 10 seconds into the future.

Sending information into the future is easy. All you need to do is save it on a disk, write it on a paper...
If information could be sent into the past would we see negative pings? Files arriving before you download them? EEK!
Greetings from the future! This guy is a nutcase, he's got it all wrong. 4 years from now, someone will get it right though. If anyone else gets a chance to do some time travel, I don't suggest going to the future. Bill Gates rules the world, and has outlawed all linux-based time travel systems (which is the only ones I ever use). The Windows ZXPQ3Z based systems are downright scary. One bluescreen and you end up 4,000,000 years off of the time you wanted. Not to mention the security problems of MS Time Explorer (TIE), which only a strom trooper would be dumb enough to use.
Field of focus is just about impossible to achieve without having a physical distance present. Obviously the multi-layer monitor idea would allow for it, but in order to create very large depths, a giagantic monitor would be needed. The only other way I can think of is having a system that can track the eyes and compensate.
The noise cancellation used in those headphones and such is actually quite simple. All you need is a well placed microphone and a phase-shift network and/or inverting amplifier. I remember seeing things like this shown on TLC or discovery or something and they (as usual) acted like it was some super amazing feat of science. All you need to build it is a set of headphones, 2 mics (1 for each ear), and about $2 worth of components.
By the sound of it this is probably exactly what they are doing. I wouldn't say that only lynx is safe though (although I do love lynx). Disabling javascript, popups, etc would combat it.
Due to the crapiness of GUI FTP clients, we recommend you do NOT use them to download files from our FTP site. Please use only command line FTP from a bash shell. If you are using MS Windows, you may either obtain a unix shell account, use the freely available cygwin system, or wipe out your hardrive and run screaming naked in the streets. Thank you and have a nice day.
I don't know what kinda crack that guy was smoking. GPG has been working quite well for me, and it is very simple to use for those folks that want "user-friendliness". Why would anyone want to use PGP when GPG is available?!
Well I played scorched earth on a 286 last year, and it was pretty sweet (doesn't run properly under windows 95/98 BTW). Plus I've got a bunch of old mame roms, which I play regularly.
my favorite was definately KQ6. That game was totally awesome. Had a great storyline, awesome puzzles....ahh those were the days. In KQ7 they totally screwed it up though. They switched from the usual mouse cursors to having only ONE! And worst of all, it went sparkly whenever it was moved ontop of something that did something important. Plus it automatically saved your game for you and you could never get yourself into a place where you needed to restore an old game. Basically, a 2 year old could have beaten that game. The graphics were all disney looking too.
Ahh yes, back in the day almost all games had boss keys. That absolutely ruled. Of course, the boss screens were usually crappy looking spreadsheet imitations or some sort of "technical looking" screen. But provided your boss is ignorant, it would work just fine. Of course, once people were able to actually run a REAL spreadsheet program at the same time, this idea died. Too bad, it was awesome.

I can't remember what TV channel it was, but I already saw a singing cow gateway ad. I am in Canada, so maybe it was a Canadian channel.

There's no way it would work in dosemu, seeing as it uses directx. Wine might work though.
