I had to bite on this one. I am a sysadmin at a medium sized private college. The LAST thing I want is anything related to me or my job directly on a student's computer. I don't want them as members of my domain, and I don't want any access to their computer. Do you have any idea the lawsuits that would open up? I control from the network jack on back. If your computer is soaking up all the bandwidth, for whatever reason, it is the schools (and being the designated agent of the school, my) right to shut your connection off. At least colleges like mine and the UoF are checking to make sure there is not a legitamate reason for you to be bringing down the bandwidth house!
Emulators, MAME, ect. are most definately NOT substitutes for the real thing. I can and have played a ton of them, but nothing comes clsoe to playing the real thing on an original machine. Those are what are getting harder and harder to find and that was the point of my post. Thanks for getting it.

Your use of language is simply underwhelming. Did you even read my post? I said nothing of the sort. I said support the troops and the families that are following orders. They are our bretheren and need the care and support of their countrymen and women.
Crawl back into your hole and return when you have a grasp on reality and some compassion for the brave.

Right or wrong? Threat or not? Madman or dictator? Weapons of mass destructions or rusty scuds? Liberals and conservatives. Right wing radio talk hosts versus left wing media moguls. Televised bombings. Do we get to use the airspace or not? We will rebuild or not? Is this right?
None of this matters. The plain and simple fact is our sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, cousins, friends and enemies are there fighting for what is believed to be the greater good. Whether you agree wholeheartedly with what is being done or think the United States is full or warmongerring lunitics, it does not matter. War has begun. That can not be changed. Now is the time to support our fighters. Time to support those putting their lives on the line. Time to stop bickering about whether or not it is right and show our troops, and the troops of all the nations there that we support them. They are doing what is ordered of them. Be there for their families. Mow somebody's lawn whose husband/father is gone. Make a meal for someone whos mother/wife won't be home for months. Don't disrespect the troops or their familes, care for them. When this is done, and it will not take very long, speak out with your votes about what you consider to be right or wrong. Speak out with your $$$.
Now is the time to rally behind our brave soldiers and their families. The time to speak out against the governemnts will come again.
Thank you brave men and women of the armed forces. I, for one, will be in line to give you a hero's return.

As a follow up to this, the professor writing this page is an amazing mathmatical mind. He has been researching large primes for years and has a few to his discovery. UTM (University of Tennessee at Martin) doesn't have much it can brag about (got to love a football team that doesn't win a game in 3 1/2 years) but their work on the large primes projects around the world is a truly bright spot.
I don't have the first clue what any of it means, but it's cool to see my old college, and the department I was in at said college, get linked in a Slashdot story.
Nothing useful to say, just wanted to mention that.
>>And that is the problem with Windows. By the time i had gotten most of my servers to NT4, they were shoving Win2k down my throat. After i had gotten everyone onto Windows NT 4.0 workstation, i couldn't get it any more - i was forced to have W2k and NT4 Wkstn running side by side.
Windows, unless you just refuse to be able to run certain software, requires you to change everything every 2 years. Its a nightmare.
Not really true. When you get any Windows machine from a big company (or small) you can always back down a license level. Your machine comes with Windows 2000 on it? Wipe it out, install NT4 (NT4 drivers are still being written for even new equipment) ghost it, and run with the new setup. Read the licensing closely, as this is OK (called M$ to make sure as I didn't believe it at first either). The only thing they are forcing you to do is an extra machine setup. If that is too much... Not trying to be a M$ advocate, just making a point.
Absolutely. When I took my new *thank GOD* job, I was told during one of the interviews that the boss expected 50 hours a week of work (I am salaried). I said no and if that was what he needed, he needed to hire someone else. That day he gave me a call and offered me the job. He siad that one of the reasons he offered it to me was that I would stand up for myself. The other 10 people he interviewed all stuck their tails between their legs and said, "Yes sir, no problem." So, stand up for what you want to work, and take care of yourself and you needs. Work to live, don't live to work.
Absolutely. We use a highly optimized Citrix implementation where I now work and it is wonderful. Even on the LAN accessing email through Citrix is quicker and no matter what computer I am at, there is MY email. Accessing my email off a farm of 4x 1GHz Pentium III Xeon's is a lot faster than locally on my slow desktop. It is an expensive and time consuming product to get in and working correctly, but once it does, things get slow, drop another 1u server in the farm and cruise along. Unfortunately, it is a royal pain to get it to that point. You'll get to know your consultants VERY well.
Warning again, I am in an unusally sarcastic mood... must be the fact that I finally got a job offer!
*BEGIN SARCASM*
Well goodness knows I will be listening to all three side by side.

That said, I again see the point but I can not tell the difference, as many people with even slight tone hearing loss probably can not. I can't usually hear the subtle cracking and popping that others can.
I can't, but that is probably my early stages of hearing loss;) I completely understand the point of view though, as I am one of those people that can see a VERY clear difference between S-Video and Component video from my DVD player. while my friends all say I'm nuts.
I apologize up front, I normally don't subscribe to sarcastic remarks, but this is screaming at me.
OH MY GOD... ONLY 112!!! How will my normal, rational, non audiophile ears ever stand the crap that is 112.
Seriously dude, most people can't (or don't want to) tell the difference between 64k, 128k, good radio signal, and cd-quality.
Again, sorry for the sarcasm, but I just couldn'thelp it.
Hey, somebody, sometime, somewhere, said something I think that just maybe might have been true but I think that I maybe didn't like it. F^CK IT, I'm suing everybody.

No.
At first I was going to bite and post something sensible to respond to you.
Nah, you just suck.
>>How the hell was Spiderman or Xmen a good movie?
Um, because it was a decent story that was reasonably well acted.
>>If special effects and comics make a good movie then its a sad world we live in.
Make it a good movie, no. Enhance it and make it more fun, yes.
>>Spiderman was so predictable and poorly acted I almost walked out of the theatre.
You REALLY need to lighten up and enjoy life a little more.
>>I say, if the target audience is kids (7-18) then yes, maybe Spiderman was great for them but for any adult it was pure garbage.
That was EXACTLY the target audience. Most comercially viable(!) comics in the US are targeted at that age.
>>Why is it so hard for a movie with an already built in base audience and etc to come up with something resembling a slightly intrigueing plot
You mean good guys versus bad guys and good guys win? Oh hell, that's been done to death, let's move on, right?
>>And I'm not even talking about something close to 'Apocolyse Now' or 'Usual Suspects', but just something to whet your appetite
Great movies, but targeting at COMPLETELY different groups.
Just my 2/100 of a $.
