That's like comparing apples and oranges. VMWare is a virtual machine; it only emulates certain parts of a computer. It's "passes through" most of the work to the host machine. This means that is a lot faster, but it can only run programs designed for the host architecture. Bochs, OTOH, is a full-fledged emulator, which, eventually, will let you run any program on any machine. Since it emulates every, though, it is FAR slower that VMWare. I hope they add some sort of JIT engine sometime.
Or, if you like 3D goodness, I recommend jDOOM. Grab the 3D model pack, and it looks sweet. See here for some screenshots and locations of some high-res textures. More screenies here.
For God, Why Did Dad Lose His Job? by Katherine Marko, Kathy Counts (Illustrator)
A truly wonderful guide which has enabled me to explain my recent sacking for vandalising company property to my children in terms of a minor act of redemption. First rate.
Thankfully I'm revisiting some of the past greats,... FFIII, Chrono Trigger, Lufia II. By the time I've finished playing through the classic rpgs maybe X-2 will be released in the US.
If you aren't already, you should use zSNES or Snes9x. Using 2xSaI can REALLY improve the look of many 2D games. Especially Crono Trigger...
Geez, you're lucky... I've hacked together two working ones from a dozen of them, and even they aren't perfect... one is already dead, and the other lost the SID chip.
Once upon a time, in an array far, far away, there lived a young princess who was worried about the integrity of her data...
She knew that elephants never forget, but they do tend to die after a while, so she hired a consultant to investigate multi-elephant solutions. He came up with RASP - Redundant Array of Short-lived Pachyderms. While SCSI (Smart Chimps Storing Information) is more reliable, elephants were a good solution for more people, because they could also be used for plowing fields.
Methinks Slashdot needs a system to audibly alert the editors when they are about to post a dupe. The closer together, the higher the noise. And if the original is still on the main page, it plays a very load klaxon.
The point is, whenever you click a link that would normally open a new window, have it open it a tab. Not middle-click. Just a regular click. The middle-click thing has some problems, because whenever you try it on a javascript: link, it messes up.
Even if that browser ever becomes Mozilla (which I doubt will happen any time soon- I run Mozilla but speed wise it just doesn't compare with IE).
What kinda machine are you running on? Using 1.2a, on a K6-2 400, 80MB RAM, 5400 RPM drive, it starts up slightly slower than IE, but other than that I don't notice any speed difference. On my grandfather's Rev-B slot-loading iMac (333 MHz G3, 192 MB RAM), Mozilla is FAR FAR faster than IE 5.1.5, and FAR more compatible.

That is for the same reason you have to enter your password twice; to verify it's correct.

You can see how well it works (and tips to get it working) here.
If you really want to run the original KaZaA, see here.
Yeah, it's called The Proxomitron. Works wonders with a little bit of configuration.
For a very good history of point 2, I recommend reading Galileo's Revenge: Junk Science in the Courtroom, by Peter W. Huber. Extremely informative book.

...do links to Goatse get modded up as "Informative".
/me pulls up his super-secret list of contact numbers
Ah, here we go. Give Yahoo a call at 1-408-349-3300. Took me a while to find that number, but it actually works.
Let's say the "average" is 24X... I have a 12X burner. I guess that means I have the equivalent of 0.5 burners... I'm not a threat! Yay!
Heh heh...

Hey, at least this guy is imaginative.
All your frequencies... are belong to nobody!

Actually, that would be http://www.whitehouse.gov/, NOT whitehouse.org. Did you do that on purpose?
I wondered for a while why they weren't Inexpensive Pachyderms...
but then I thought about the acronym...
Precisely. Although it would've been funnier if I had come up with something for RAID...

You forget Alt-D.
What about PGPDisk?
Sorry, I forgot the tag.
</sarcasm>
So you're saying that, due to Slashdot not posting the Mozilla update on the main page, there were actually more people who were able to download it?
Flashing the BIOS as well, Christ on a rubber crutch, don't get me started. Unless you really need some feature don't do it.
That's odd... I just flashed my mobo and video BIOSes and got almost a 10% performance increase...

From the article:
ASCI Purple will be built using 12,544 IBM Power5 microprocessors, the same chips that are used in Apple PCs and Nintendo games systems.
So it's basically a Beowulf cluster of GameCubes?
