I'm just a year older, and I remember the better share of these commercials (except the earliest of course).
Finding NES and Sega commercials online is a task too, I've seen a few (mostly Japanese) sites with them. Still looking for the Nintendo Cereal commercial
"Nintendo, its for breakfast now! Nintendo, its a cereal, wow!"
Programming is a creative process, not something to be done assembly-line style.
If you are really interested in the project it wouldn't be surprising to see people staying 15 hours occasionally when they are "on a roll" so to speak.
On the other hand there are a lot of us (recent college grads) who don't have jobs at all, and if you feel you can't accept management's demands a lot of us probably will.
When I was in college (its only been a couple years) we had both WP and Word in all the computer labs. The bookstore sold Office for $150 (student discount) and WP Office for $9.99
Besides which, the only applications which officially support it use it only as a broadband adapter.
Its meant to let people go on the internet faster (in the one or two games that actually support it), its not meant to let you use that NetBSD CD you burned to mount an NFS on your main and hack around in a bash shell. Sure, you can use it for that, but most people aren't.
I've seen a few cobbled together Dreamcast mods that add an ISA slot so you can stick an Ethernet card in it. Never had time to try and make one myself, but this has me inspired.
BBS Door games are where its at dammit!
I must've burned my whole 60 minute quota for the day on Legend Of the Red Dragon for months.
never saw a dragon either, I was having too much fun breaking into people's hotel rooms and killing them while they were logged off.
Why should we even care at this point what the fastest processor is? Except for those of us doing long complex mathematical computations is there really any use for those extra couple of Ghz?
It strikes me that while processors have been getting faster and faster over the past couple of years the software they run hasn't been getting better. My box only runs at 900 Mhz, and I can't tell you the last time I was using more than 20% of the processor. The rest is all wasted (or lying in wait for that next dreaded compile). Truth be told it doesn't seem to run a helluva lot different from my 300 Mhz system (except that its got a nicer video card).
Since the new high-end apps are so much more dependant on video card specs than CPU specs, why should the average person bother to get the latest and greatest CPU anymore?
And even more importantly: Why do I know I will buy AMD's new Hammer processor when it comes out?

If you can't fix it with a butter knife, it ain't broken.

The prettiest experiment has to be Milliken's Oil Drop.
Now if I could just find another job I'd be all set.
You aren't protecting your skin from the cold, you are protecting the cold from your skin. Works dandy.
LOL, Funny, my name comes up perfectly fine.
And these things don't occur in nature, much like potato chips.
Actually, OpenOffice can export to PDF only on Unix platforms. The Windows version does not support it as of version 1.0
Really, how do you do that in OO? I've been trying to figure out since I downloaded it.
Wasn't a hard choice for me.
We must not forget "Export to PDF". Besides which, WP hogs a lot less systems resources than OO
I always thought "Dr. SCO" had a nice ring to it.
Yeah, imagine the owners of a business wanting to make a profit on that business. We all know its real purpose is to provide fun jobs.
He seems kinda mad.

And here I was about to wipe the SH4/ARM cross compiler off my BSD box.

Other papers on IRIX binary compatibility won't have near as catchy a title I'll wager.
Yeah but this time they called it a pill!

Gotta get this bad boy running on all those Javastations in my back room.
Pretty much always, aren't they?
kinda like the way God took the initiative in creating spammers.
And sales of brightly colored chalk skyrocket.
