    I guess this would be why the British people still have a monarchy.

    Am I the only one who read PIIX4 as "Pentium Two-by-Four"? Because if not, I'd really like one to serve as my new LART.

  3. Re:Yoda on Easter Eggs in Web Sites? · · Score: 1

    I remember at a place I worked, we did something like that. I made them put in a picture of the aptly named "Sir Not Appearing in this Film" for my picture. Only a couple of poeple got the joke. :(

    I don't know, but Britney Spears knows a lot about Semiconductor Physics.

    It did have unbeleivably useless and stupid sidekicks, though.

  6. Cool on Disney Blames Apple For Music Piracy · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I dig the apple-ified title bar for the apple story. Of course, now Rob's going to get sued for stealing Apple's look and feel as Apple gets sued for mentioning that you can make mix cds.

    Mine's even lower! Let's open the bidding at say, the retail price of a small home in Southern California?

    This forum isn't long enough to list all the things we now enjoy due DIRECTLY to advances made in space technology via development of things like the ISS

    We don't know that for a fact until we test it. I'll start:

  9. P2P conference coming up on Future Pocket P2P - Discreet Data Sharing? · · Score: 4, Informative

    O'Reilly did a conference on this, "Using Two-way Pagers as Peer-to-peer Devices"
    , done by previously reported about "brian d foy". The link is here. I wasn't able to attend, but it sounds like just what this article is talking about. Mayhap brian has notes posted somewhere.

    No fscking joke. I worked with the guy (Brian), and he has an honest to $DIETY style sheet for his name.

    He also looks very much like John Malkovich; it/he's very frightening.

    And just how many people who don't "wholeheartedly support large corporate power" do you think have $60 million to blow on a 2 week vacation?

  12. Re:PocketPC on Handspring Delays Treo, Plans To Drop Organizer Line · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've done that. I was working on a database schema and started writing the names of the tables on the whiteboard. It took a (non-palm owning) latecommer to ask what was on the board. Until then the other people in the meeting hadn't realized that it was graffiti either. Heh. Geeks.

    Woah, time out- AtGaurd runs on XP? What version? The version I've got doesn't get along with 2k _or_ ME. I'd love to be able to use that kick ass program, even if it means turning to the evil empire.

    Bah. I went to get a _haircut_ and the counter critter asked for my phone number and address for thier "files". I was bewildered for a minute, then said "No. You don't need that info". She persisted, eventually telling me to just make up a phone number. I gave her 190-9411.

    All this to get a freaking haircut.

  21. Re:The way of things to come on Sega Confirms Death of Dreamcast · · Score: 1

    But of the 26 million units Nintendo sold, 99% of them were pokemon. How much longer do you think that fad's license will tide them over? Nintendo has and will continue to have a headlock on portables, especially with the GBA, but as far as straight consoles go, it's dying. The Cube is its only hope- and Nintendo just won't market to the most lucritive audience. Right now, all us kids who grew up with video games are buying more mature titles. I know a ton of people who bought the Playstation for Resident Evil. Nintendo just doesn't allow its licensees the freedom to develop hard-core, mature games. And yes, I know about the port of RE2 to the N64, and it shocked the hell out of me. But I don't see them doing that again, and I sure as hell don't see them allowing something groundbreaking on thier machine.

    Their entire marketing stratagy is built around being the "Kid's Console." Show me a kid who wants the kid's console over the adult's console, and I'll show you a kid whose parents dope him up with too much ritalin for his misdiagnosed ADD.

    Unless something radical happens to the folks at Nintendo, thier console bussiness is dust. I don't see the handhelds going away anytime soon though.

    I guess it's okay that there's now more speakers of Klingon than of Navajo. We can still have secure communications without our warm, whirring little friends.
