With java games, or maybe new technologies, Mac, Linux, Windows, Playstation, etc can all play the same games....
Write a script that pops up a window saying "You have won a special 500.00 prize. Your machine has run for 3000 hours without a major problem!"
Create fields for them to enter name, address and phne numbers to receive the prize.
Make the script write that data to disk and you can pull it with timbuktu
Then call the police.
Crooks often fall for the stupidest tricks, especially if you appeal to GREED!!!
I know THIS would work. I steal computers all the time, and I ALWAYS click on every pop up and fill out ALL the forms. As everyone knows, they are all 100% real!
Slashdot Mirror
find | grep missingdata
Ctrl-Esc, F, 'missing data'
Sun's workstations command even greater price premiums!
Surprising....They'd have sold at least 50 million Mario worlds if they had it on game cube
Can't forget these:

The Silicon Graphics Refrigerator Project
(or: How To Turn a $175.000 High-End SGI Challenge DM Server into a Fridge)
If it works, then install. don't do it to a drive with 5 gigs of porn on it
Same damn thing happens with Pentium 3's and 4's too!
And my car! Who would have thought the 1998 Trans Am would be so much faster than my 1997! What's the deal!
Improving products should be banned!
It's not like your old card is worthless, some of us mortals still get along with 550mhz Pentium III's and TNT2's
Tech Report article
Just a MacGamer short blurb
Tom and the crew review what servers best survive a good ol' fashioned /.'ing!
2002-02-04 19:24:43 RedHat ousts itself (articles,news) (rejected)
So, this slashdot post cost you 53 cents?!
I bet you really want to get rid of the 'wait 20 seconds until hitting submit!'
MAME rocks
Haven't found any newer games that are that addicting.
There's always Evercrack
Interesting!?!
The CPU, not the whole package!
Maybe they have created it, but it's so smart, it hides itself from the people who made it.
And they've secretly hijacked an IRC channel, some Linux machines, and they're creating even smarter versions of themselves to take over the Internet.
Coming to a Slashdot near you:
"Oracle buys RedHat"
Could this be the beginning of the end for Sun Microsystems?
including a quote forecasting 1400 pieces of spam per person per day in five years.
That's only about 5 times what I get now. Serious.
I get junk mail at home, but most of it is Arby's coupons and Pizza specials. I like those.
I don't get "get rich quick" or "see my web cam" at home. I do get "you're approved for a loan" and "cheap health insurance"
I just trash it on my way from the mail box back to my apartment.
Annoying? Of course
Do I worry about it? Nope.
This is similar to web page creators being against 'ad blockers', right?
Nuts and Volts Magazine is pretty good.
You'd be all set if you scored some back issues.
Real good stuff in those.
For some reason they hold resale like a fucking BMW.
It can be a few years old and almost cost what it did, fucking new.
There's 604's going on eBay for $800+
Intel hardware retains value about as well as lunch meat.
C|NET
Gimme Karma!

can someone explain to me why they would use it instead of gcc
On many UNIX workstations, GCC makes slower/much slower code than the system vendor's compiler.
Many people argued the speed/size benefits of Watcom's DOS compilers compared to DJGPP, the (DOS port GCC)
It's not like anyone BUYS them...
It'd be nice to have a C++ Builder for Linux though.
Run a sniffer, and fucking ARP-poison their beautiful Cisco routers...and proceed to watch the rest of the node's web traffic, IM's, etc etc
"Sure, if you're a collector you might have a working computer from the 60s or even the 50s in your basement or garage."
If you had a computer from the 50's or 60's, it'd most likely BE your basement or garage.
Reader: I have got a much better idea!
