They missed the game/MIDI port. I went to hook my gravis gamepad up to my new computer and was shocked to find it missing. There's still a parallel port and serial port though. Do sound cards still come with MIDI ports? What do MIDI devices hook up to these days?
A certified fan of Andrew "Necros" Sega (of Five Musicians) in the hizzouse. [...] The music industry benefitted greatly from his efforts in the group "The Alpha Conspiracy".
I read this and just had to listen to FM-RIFF.S3M again. Coincidentally, 'Aura' by The Alpha Conspiracy has been in the car CD player for the last week or so:-)
P.S. Concerning passwords: many sites (also google) now require you to enter a 'password question' for password recovery. Really, this is very bad and does not help at all. The standard questions are so simple (what's the name of your dog) that anyone around you can social-hack into your account. Therefore, I make up my own question, which I then HAVE TO WRITE DOWN because otherwise I forget. This is a security disaster, but there isn't even an option to turn off the password question!
Just type random gibberish for the secret question and answer, and don't forget your password.
Okay, I smell a rat here. Or a fish. I saw seaQuest DSV - dolphins can hold increasingly complex conversations with humans about a variety of abstract and unlikely topics! Try and use Lucas's oversized yellow remote control thing to talk to a goldfish, and see just how far you get!
It's the mainstream media that chooses to use these technical terms when it's scaring and/or confusing consumers. People in technical fields use field-specific vocabulary like "phishing" when communicating with others in the same field, and it improves efficiency and clarity. There's nothing stopping the media from using "faked email scam" instead, however.
You guys are up now to episode 11 of BSG? It's rather sad seeing them up on the usenet when they still haven't even aired here yet... I wonder if SciFi's delay in broadcasting them could be considered inducement to commit copyright infringement. No doubt many not sick of waiting to be able to watch legitimately and decided to go the less than legal route of DLing them.

That's why they sell USB serial ports nowadays :)
USB MIDI interfaces.
Dude, they /are/ the main graphics processor(s).
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
Seconded. Dumped the Audigy, bought a Delta 66 from M Audio, never looked back.
It's the year 2012. There have also been two new releases of Debian :-)

For anyone wondering what we're yabbering about:
Selection of modules by Necros (use MODPlug Player on Windows)
The Alpha Conspiracy
We're sooo going to get modded 'Offtopic' for this little aside. But it's all about the sceeene!
"Web 2.0 Mashups Almost Ready For Enterprise"

What a disgusting, vapid headline
That is all.

Please mod parent up, I enjoyed reading!

Score:1, Flamebait - nicely done, moderator!
I'm on fire.
Enlighten me (seriously - I've never played it) - what was so groundbreaking about Super Mario 64?
It was subliminal messaging. You are now ~12% more inclined to hunt for amazing last minute bargains at ebay.com! And so am I.
That's "Mogh". But I still laughed :-)
Some tasteful moderation there by whoever modded the parent "Flamebait"... ;-)
Why was this modded Interesting/Insightful? What do people think Windows has been doing for years on SMP (and now dual-core) PCs?
QUICK!! Ban blogs!!
Oh wait, the majority of the US public already want to :-).
The University of Warwick's CS department replaced its last lab of general-use Sun machines with Red Hat machines from RM a year or so ago.

They say it like it is on "I.R.C."...
"$10 a megabyte for all other information sent or received"
$10 NZ? That's not so far removed from the ~£3 per MB I'm paying for mobile Internet (i.e. GPRS) a decade later...
Why do they keep referring to the "32-bit era" in the past tense? Aren't we still in that era today?
Marketing-speak aside, the PS2, Gamecube, Xbox and most of your PCs and Macs are 32-bit machines.
I agree. I have not seen my wife since I put zoo tycoon on the computer. She is an l337 zookeeper.
Are you sure she hasn't left you? :-)
But when the hell did Bill Gates get a job at ESA? :-)
