In fact, despite being "so pre-Clinton era" in the realm of home electronics, Mike seems to be a quick study.
Finally, in a state of shock and awe, he says: "Hey! We're going to bypass the 1990s and jump straight into the new millennium!" "I can tell you're a wannabe tech guy," Larson says. "You're going to pick this all up pretty quick."
Well of course he is now that he has an excuse to buy all these cool gadgets the wife would never let him buy!
That the former CEO of 3dfx arrived just in time to drive the former S3 (aka Sonicblue) right into the ground (just like he did with 3dfx)? I don't really think of S3 graphics as being S3 seeing as how they are owned by Via.
It would only run at a decent framerate if the video was postage stamp size but at least it did it.... unlike some of the other boards with less features but better performance. As I recall I got it running through some really ugly mini GL hack/patch thing. Thankfully I also had a 3Dfx card at the time.
As I recall you there were a few OSes that you could choose from for the Dreamcast. Sega had an arcade OS that ran most of the games out there and I believe there was a Kallisto OS as well. WinCE didn't end up being used very often on the Dreamcast. I wonder whether this was a factor in Microsoft's decision to create their own console instead.
It looks like you are marking essays. Would you like me to:
Grade papers in a dry, mechanical way that completely dehumanizes them.
Nitpick spelling and grammar while printing big red marks on the essays for maximum psychological trauma
Automatically fail essays that use l33tspeak.
Just let you RTFE (read the fucking essay).
Next probe to use Ion propulsion?

Goodbye, Galileo

It's interesting to note that Galileo's successor (the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter) will use Ion propulsion powered by a nuclear reactor. I believe that this is a first time a spacecraft has been nuclear powered. The Deep Space 1 mission proved that Ion thusters (which operated off of electricity provided by solar panels) were a faster and more efficient method of propulsion, especially over very long distances such as for exploration outside of our solar system.

IBM Slashdotted their stock price! :-)

$15000(??!) minus $199 for a Walmart Lindows PC = $Profit!
I'm going to Disneyland!

I think that's the first time we've Slashdotted a satellite.
Craig built a neutron modulator (which slows down the emitted neutrons so they can be detected) out of a few hundred spare CDs.
Finally a use for all those AOL CDs!
Along with everyone else she's probably cashed out her stock already.

To be able to create color schemes this ugly! Seriously, reddish brown and dark yellow do not mix! Ugh..
Next they'll be telling us that the G5 is faster than the Pentium 4...
You can even freely download it off of the Oracle Technology Network for free and try it out for non-commericial applications.
In the fact that the video links are in quicktime format?
Google Kazaas you!

There is a built-in help system but unfortunately it has not been translated from Japanese.
pffft...help files! Real Linux h4x0rs don't need help files !
A vurnerability that isn't Microsoft's fault. I suppose that we could blame them anyways though.... just for the fun of it.
African or European elephants? Hmmm I don't know..... Ahhhhhhhhhh!
1) Tell the RIAA that SCO is downloading music.
2) Tell SCO that the RIAA uses Linux.
3) Stand back and enjoy the show
4) Profit?
It both exists and doesn't exist at exactly the same time! ;-)
And you thought the blackout played havoc with your uptimes!
it's err a feature...
Stock Cash Out ;-)
So send 'em back this T-shirt: ;-)
