Is this thing capable of playing decent games on it? 1.3Ghz is probably overkill for just conventional usage (Quicken, Word, Browsing, etc) and just for a few bucks more one could get a PIV or an Athlon - and play games with it.
There also seems to be an issue with finding a motherboard that will support these - I havn't really looked into that much though.
Before I start off here, I know many of you may be familiar with my comment history, journal entries, etc. But I please ask before you start your trigger happy -1, Troll mods, look at the following objectively.
Linux is very popular, and moving into the mainstream and we all need to get over it. I realized this the day it finally hit 1.0. The success of it was inevitable. No one complained back then. The Linux community is bringing it on themselves, the better we make it, the more popular it will be.
The more popular it will be, the more people there will be who will want to make money off of it. This was confirmed when Redhat went public. We all can't be elitists. With the success of any popular operating system, you will have large companies seeing this as an opportunity to make money. This is called Capitalism, and it works. This is why I can post comments such as these and not have to worry about getting a knock on my front door at 3am by a bunch of men in trench coats and sunglasses.
If you have a problem with this, then perhaps you should consider being either an anarchist or a socialist. Theres plenty of them in France.
QNX is a good project for throwing on that old machine or for use as an embedded system (it's currently the operating system of my cable modem).
I'm waiting before I install on my main machine, however. I've been following the progress of QNX for quite a few years now and I'd like to say it's coming along quite nicely, just give it more time.
Oh and don't praise it or knock over it's desktop appearance. Desktop is about the last thing I look for in an OS (if it's that bad I can always create a better way myself.. hrmf).
The Military has actually been using something like these for years (not exactly 2Mbps however). Our unit had something similiar, the idea being was to broadcast live video feed from special extremely lightweight cameras attached to our helmet, waist, and back.
We each had our own transmitter to carry the data to anywhere in the world.
Ive played chess since I was 5 years old. It's a great rush beating someone of skill. I play for hours on end.
In Jr. High I was in the Chess Club, never lost a match - and no, no one ever gave me a swirly or beat me up. Maybe that was just because of my older brother, whom had a triple mohawk, liberty spikes, etc. Everyone kind of just didnt want to mess with him at all.
My only regret is I didnt stick with it in High School since my girlfriends were too social and begged me not to play. They didnt want to be associated with a chess player.
And another thing, what on Earth is an al-Qa'ida terrorist doing with a laptop? I understood their position to be totally anti-technology - apart from guns and bombs of course...
The Taliban has been known for using technology, especially computers. They banned the use of them, of course. They also banned many other things that don't apply to them.
In the lower east side and in hell's kitchen there was a phenomena of strangled babies found with RJ-11 wrapped around their necks, back in the 70s.
One of the guys they eventually caught said it was better to use then RJ-45, primarily because he needed it for his cable modem. At the same time local nurseries were reporting baby thefts and the local telephone companies were recovering stolen company vans with everything intact except RJ-11 (they did find traces of hot grits and pictures of Natalie Portman, however).
Flash to early 1980s...
Around the same time CmdrTaco was entering his teenage years and the same thing appeared to be copycatted around the Michigan area.
excellent reading

We all know him well, I especially liked his first books Stranger in a strange land and Slaughterhouse VI.
It is especially good to see authors like these to continue doing such a fine job. Keep up the good work!
According to VH1 where are they now television show, Gary Glitter (co-founder of legendary punk band, the new york dolls - and author of that rediculous jock jam) had computer problems and brought his pc into a repair shop. They then discovered child pr0n and turned him in. Haha!
Embalming did not become common in the United States until the late 19th century, after the Civil War. Though most of the war's dead were buried on the battlefield, to be dug up after the war and reburied in the new National cemetaries if Union, or in local cemetaries if Confederate, a few officers and so on were embalmed and sent home. Lincoln was also embalmed, and the way he held together, as it were, during his lengthy trip back to Illinois with several public viewings, seems to have impressed many. One of the sales pitches that undertakers made in favor of embalming was that one could be sure that an embalmed loved one was actually dead and would not be buried alive.

Perhaps it moved? Doesn't have to have been sold to have a new court of country listed...
Im part jew and I think these posts are exceptionally funny.

This is very alarming news. If we allow this to happen, what will stop other countries from doing the same? Our country perhaps?
This is a sad day. This almost hurts as much as when Ren & Stimpy (!) got cancelled.
I fear the day when the Simpsons gets cancelled.
