You think that's bad? In my A-level IT syllabus, it states that I must "write a program to display HTML code." By that it means to write a web page in HTML - it also refers to HTML files as "HTML programs." I must also learn how to "set TCP address" and do several other poorly-worded things which I currently can't remember.
If you wanted the console to play Xbox or ps2 games, you would need to either use the bios from both of those consoles, which would be copyright violation, or reverse engineer the bioses of those consoles. However, there would be no way to prove that you had't read the bios code. im not totally sure why you have to prove you never saw the bios code, but I think something similar was done by AMI, and award, and all the other bios companies when they reverse-engineered the original IBM PC bios. probably something to do with copyright again.
I don't know about the US (doubt it though) but in the UK you can buy a macrovision remover, which masquerades as a "100Hz TV video adapter" or something similar. For some sort of TV that doesn't work with macrovision, I think. And they're only a few pounds, so it wouldn't be very hard for me to copy a film from blockbuster. However, they're still in business over here.
if anyone breaks in from the console there is bugger all they can break
what about:
C:\>format c:
to break it? On another note, i would be devastated if anyone broke my msdos machine, as some games just dont seem to work proerly under anything else.
On race tracks... I don't know if this still goes on, but have you ever seen a man stood on a box waving his arms about like a mad seal at a race course? They are signalling the odds of different horses in some kind of sign language.
I believe the name is tic-tac man... aha, ive found a link which explains it a bit better here
If the US had been more proactive about limiting space research by unstable and undeveloped nations, then we wouldn't have to worry about this.
Are you suggesting that the US has the right or responsibility of regulating space research? What goes on in another country shouldn't be up to the US, unless it directly affects them.
The US could just have easily have placed nuclear weapons in space as India could have, as it is only speculation that India has done.
And, although India is less developed than, for example, the US, why should they be forced to stay that way?
However, the original abbreviation "PSX" was the original name of the Playstation before it was released. It was later renamed to Playstation, although PSX has mistakenly been used ever since.
Sony seem to have made this clear by sticking "PS2" on the side/top of the Playstation 2.

I didn't see the spaces due to the bad tiny fonts in Mozilla.

The press Ctrl and +/- to change the font size.
Isn't one kilobyte 8192 bits, though, as it is 1024 bytes?
So 2^2048/2^8192 = er, i don't have a calculator on me...
On the other hand, i could be completely wrong.

Last I heard, a carton of 200 cigarettes was going for £40 or so in London
:-)
And thats still mostly tax. I can buy 200 imported cigarettes for £10. Mind you they're either L&M or Coronas

Would anti-windows98 have a "finish" menu instead of a start menu?
