GATech is a nice school, but OhioState Univ has the oldest (and IMHO the best) graphics program. Besides, OSU's Supercomputing Centre has more power than GA Tech's:)
Yes... Unlike AIM, ICQ, MS-ANYTHING, IRC actually has a long-running standard based on an RFC. Imagine that... using a standard to base your programs on. Who woulda thunk it? Why not just re-invent the proprietary wheel every time you make a product?
Fairfield is like a few miles from Kings Island, IIRC. I used to live in West Chester (near Middletown), but moved to Atlanta 2 years ago. Moving back soon, however! (cant wait to get out of this state.)
What Slashdot needs is an IPO icon and category... how about a picture of a bandwagon full of money? Seems so many start-ups and businesses we've known for so long are now stockmarket-bound:) I'm just waiting for Transmeta to hop on the IPO bandwagon.
"I welcome you all to the first shareholders meeting for Transmeta Corp. I would like to tell you how our product development is going, but then I'd have to kill you. Thank you all for investing, and don't worry! We'll release something, someday!"
When's the Slashdot IPO? I'd invest... "Buy now! Own your stake of Rob! Traded on NASDAQ, symbol SDOT!!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gates, Supreme Lord Of All Things Computing, but an illegal operation has been preformed by: 'undergroundlair.dll'. Please reboot your house."
And you know he's got the voice automation calling him that:)
I had many problems getting this ordered... I could get up to the point to put in my CC number, but after clicking proceed, nothing happend. Stop, hit Reload, proceed button... nothing. Repeated that a few minutes later.
Never got through untill I got home from work and ordered. Got a confirmation email for that one, and none of the others. I am hoping that I don't get 4 kits and/or 4 charges. I will be VERY ticked.
I called the 800 number to see if they could tell me about my orders, but the lovely (pissed off?) man on the other end very gruffly told me "If you didn't get a confirmation email from us, we didn't get your order. Goodbye. *click*"
If, and when, I get banged out for $18 more than I ordered, heads will roll:)

You don't HAVE to use floppys. I havn't had a floppy drive in my computer for the last year; the only time the thing went in is when I thrashed my hard drives and replaced them (needed some boot media; the floppy was the only choice). I think the iMac is on the right track (if you don't have a floppy drive, you'll learn to live without it, and one day we can all live in peace and harmony sans stupid floppy disks.), but everyone makes fun of it for that. Some people...;)
As far as my floppyless boxes, they are all networked, and connected to the internet. All the computers I use that aren't at my house are internet connected, so I can just copy files down the wire; it beats splitting an mp3 into 5 floppys, carrying them around, drop one in the mud, find out another's little metal cover is loose and it gets stuck in your drive at work... You get my point.
As for 5.25" floppys... good riddance. My 5.25" floppy drive puts off so much radiation that it can cook food that I have sitting on my desk when I use it. Still, it's the only link I have to the complete 30 floppy backup I made of my 40gb hard drive in 1992... (the only backup I've ever done; my tape drive has yet to work:)
i am the dot in your dot com... (and i control you) i am the slash in your slash dot... (and i control you) i am the core in your home directory... (and i control you)
I noticed this under the Timeline section of DotEaters for 1983-1984...
"Microsoft demonstrates its new product Interface Manager, later to be renamed Windows. It is later revealed that the windows appearing to be running different programs were simply a graphical kludge."
Sound familier? Microsoft's up to the old tricks...
In my experiances with the codebase for Quake2 (I don't mean gamei386.so or whatever; i mean the quake2 binary and the gfx libs), it is semi-portable. some stuff is windows specific, and takes some fixing, and many re-compiles, but after a while, it compiles pretty well and runs without crashing. I think whenever a new version of Quake2 comes out, Zoid just applys a "Linux patch" and compiles, but dont quote me on that.
In short, it dosnt compile out of the box (./configure;make;make install) but after some cutting-windows-crap-out and stuff it works nicely.

Hackers are less likely do "do something about it" than, say, crackers, which is what you are probably thinking of.

Thats 40mb hard drive, not 40gb.
7 years ago, media even 500mb was unfathomable...
yeah. my little 386/16 w/4mb had 40gb...
