Beos would have been the perfect! OS for this use! Super fast, stable, EASY TO INSTALL, easy to CONFIGURE. Linux is not ready for a first time PC buyer. I repeat. Linux is not ready for a first time PC buyer!
Many strides have been made in ease of installation and configuration, (Lindows) and software, (Open Office) BUT it is still far too easy to shut a new user down. Throw them into the terminal, misconfigure networking, try and install some software, you will lose a open source user. Beos was easy to use, and made it easy to install new software!
OpenBeos will be what Linux should be on the desktop.
You can Mod this -50, and I'll still be posting at 1.:P
How long until someone beats up the kid, takes the game, throws it through the window of the store, sets the store and a marching band on fire, carjacks a car, runs drugs for a mob kingpin, researches the Republic to get Conscription, raises an army and invades Nebraska and the Temple of Nod? I'd say 15 min.
You are both wrong. The govenment is suing the rock for one reason. Lottery winnings. In 1986, the rock won the Illinois State Lottery; a total of 127 million dollars. As this rock was, and is an inanimate object, it paid no taxes on this money.
The rock escaped the reach of the FBI by chartering a flight to Honduras, where it befriended a high-ranking government official. The rock, now with inside help, rose quickly to the top eschelon of Honduras' government. Behind the scenes, it used the dictator of the period to further its own less than honorable schemes.
The rock was eventually discovered and removed from power by an old friend, the government officiant the rock met on arrival.
The rock, fearing for its safety, left Honduras with the help of an American buisnessman. The American brought the rock and hid it in the safety of his local bank. The government, alerted to the rock's presence, sent agents to recover the rock at all costs.
The rock now resides in a Federal prison as a 'guest' of our country awaiting charges and trial.
I'm sorry. I have to disagree with you. The reason behind the high prices moon rocks fetch on the open market, the nefarious way NASA is chasing after them, and the 'strange' defendant in the lawsuit is clear. The moon rock is sentient. NASA discovered this after years of experimentation with raido waves and Tesla coils. The rocks talk.
Somehow, the rocks are able to communicate with each other and the Mother Moon (Luna) herself. This gives the moon rocks amazing powers of observation, wisdom, and intellegence born of eons of space travel.
This fact is now known to several in NASA and the White House. It has been hidden for one reason. The rocks can predict the future.
September 11th was predicted by the moon rocks. So was the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the recent war in the Middle East.
The US government must protect this knowlege at all costs. He who knows the secret of the method of speaking to Luna, could rule the world with her help. That is all I can say.
That's why NASA wants the rock back. No one can prove it, if they don't have a piece of it! Must cover the tracks of the faked moon landing. All the samples given out were just earthly dirt, with some iron thrown in for good measure. When pushed on this issue in the future, (after the truth of the bogus samples is known) NASA will claim that 'Moon' rock is far too valuable to have given out willy-nilly to governments around the world. The 'moon' rock is fake, the landing is fake, and the lawsuit is to cover it all up.
Geez. What the hell did people do before cell phones? That's right. They enjoyed their lives just the same. If Billy's mom can't part with her phone for an hour and a half, she shouldn't be going to the movies in the first place.
If the detective said that, he should probably go back to school and find that LAWS are what he is to enforce. Not crimes. If he wants to enforce crimes, go work for the White House.
Really, you should always find no proof of no proof of proof of proof of poop of no proof before posting about lack of it (the lack of no proof). You can find my proof of this argument at my website here.
Hmm. Apply the tactics learned by the wheeled robots to the legged robots. Let the legged ones 'concentrate' on walking/running and other movements. Then upload how to play later. Just like in the Matrix! Interesting. Could save $$$ and faster results too...

You would of course have the added handicap of playing Super Monkey Ball deathmatch....Upside-Down!

Looks like fun.
P.S. No "handy-'capaple'" political correctness used in this post. :p
I wouldn't mind having a go at this version of Quake. It would be good practice for when I go blind from masturbating constantly.
These Chicken-Feather chips are just a fad.
Hey, you misspelled Jim Carrey's name. ;P
Clear Channel has picked up both tunes and have put them on Maximum Rotation! Expect to hear these soon on your local affilliate!
A Dr. Seuss movie without Jim Carrey!

Please get the whole story before you post.

I think it was supposed to read "Re:So who actually read the technical rite up...front"
This isn't the "Jilted lovers of Gerarld, Lita, and Mary Ford" support group?

It's funny because I could post the same thing again and again. And again and about 5 others that are unfindable with google or /.s search. >:(
Please wait until August XX, 2XXX tX read the Elvish Runes I have embedded here.

Right now! I got the RIAA's, Microsoft's and O.J.'s lawyers. Should be interesting.

I nominate yesterday's robot! A stadium full of these and I think I'll stay home and watch the game on Pay-per-View.
