Mine wasn't too bad. AMD K6-2 that overclocked well, and a Gigabyte motherboard that I was able to flash to remove the Compaq proprietary BIOS. The Compaq screens are pretty quality CRTs too.
I went to Dear Friends in Atlanta and really enjoyed it. However, Dear Friends and Video Games Live are two very different animals.
Dear Friends was performed in symphony halls, while Video Games Live was performed in arenas. VGL tried to make it more "hip" by adding laser light shows and actors. I wasn't interested in VGL because I just wanted to hear some good music, without all the show in front of it. Otherwise I could just play the game.
Thanks to the soulbinding system in World of Warcraft, it will never be like Diablo 2. It would take far more than 12 Krol Blades to ruin a server's economy. Those Krol Blades will eventually end up being vendored or disenchanted by their owners as they outgrow them, instead of staying in circulation.
For the music I listen to, Napster's selection is terrible, and iTunes is even worse. Only Emusic has a decent selection to me. And Emusic uses good ol' MP3s!
Instead of pirating it, you could have gone to www.amazon.co.uk and ordered it. It was out in England on DVD before it hit theatres here...that's why you were watching a "DVD-quality SVCD".
Now I am a proud subscriber, thanks to you. This knocks the socks off of iTunes not only in price but in selection (so much non-RIAA metal i can't even shake a stick at it!!).
Um...obviously you have no background on the matter at hand.
AOL has decided to block all residential ISPs, INCLUDING my ISP (Sprint). They didn't just block me, they blocked EVERYONE on my ISP and several other ISPs. This filters down to their sister company, RoadRunner, too!
RoadRunner is a "real isp". I also have a "real mail server" on a "real business connection".
AOL can go to hell, so can RR, and so can Time Warner in general.
Been with CI Host for awhile, pretty good network, really like the price too.
Also, AOL/RR is blocking email from my office (Sprint SHDSL, fiber optic DSL, faster than T1, business only stuff in case you weren't aware). Ever since I got the first bounced message AOL has been #1 on my shit list.
Whethever it's running under VMWare or WINE, whether it requires a purchased copy of Windows or not, it's still considered "OK" to run a Windows-native program under WINE, rather than develop specifically for linux. A little hack or workaround is not as enticing as a native port, and really does little for Linux.
Last time I wanted to document an accident (3 days ago) I couldn't because the digital camera I took was under water.
You're lucky if the accident didn't destroy the camera. In my case, my friend flipping his SUV over in to a creek pretty much did my $600 camera in for.
I hope you see the error in your logic. Recreating someone's furniture would be more the equivalent of you hearing a song on the radio, you getting your band buddies together and recording a cover of that song as close to the original as possible, which, mind you, IS legal.

maybe it's not done?
would you like an unfinished product? would you like microsoft to rush bungie?
no, PING uses the ICMP protocol, not HTTP. it has nothing to do with web pages or parsing at all.

that's a good one man.
the power in our office is so shitty that we've lost a dozen power supplies, several HDs, motherboards, etc.
the power supply died on our server over the weekend, took the motherboard and KVM with it. and it was an enermax!
the power is much better at my home.
216 yen is 2 dollars, wouldn't that be more like your 2 yen (which equals 2 cents)?

And you can't get as many years out of another machine for the same uses?
5 years ago Pentium II 450mhz were top of the line. Those are still pretty decent machines.
you're kidding, right?
Apple didn't pioneer USB..."Wintel" PCs had it before Macs did.
Your quote is a little off, friend. You forgot "All this computer hacking is making me thirsty."
um, sir..
Before today I had never heard of eMusic.
Now I am a proud subscriber, thanks to you. This knocks the socks off of iTunes not only in price but in selection (so much non-RIAA metal i can't even shake a stick at it!!).
Once again, you rule, thanks for the heads up.
um...
the formatting of a drive isn't going to make it less prone to crashing.
a hard drive will fail in a mac just as much as it will in a pc.
That's what snowballing is?
I guess I've watched Clerks too many times.
Everyone always tries to list all the mac games that ARE available, how about a couple that ARE NOT:
Half Life
Battlefield 1942
Half Life 2 (almost certainly will not see a mac port)
I rest my case.

Bravo, CI Host, Bravo.
For the most part, you're right, but I still find myself addicted to some games, like Warcraft III and Desert Combat for BF1942.

You can order your car from them in any color you can imagine with any option you could possibly want.
They hand build it to your specification. It takes them 22 weeks to put it together.
So, been there, done that.
Documenting accidents?
Last time I wanted to document an accident (3 days ago) I couldn't because the digital camera I took was under water.

i'm just fine with my setup. my ipod plugs in to the AUX port on the faceplate of my aiwa deck in my toyota corolla.
cassette adapters are a joke.
