...was an old b/w tv and a Vic-20 with a 300bps modem bungie corded to an old Radio Flyer. We'd pull that out from my room to the one phone in the house. We'd have to dial the number by hand, wait for the carrier, unplug the handset, and plug the wire into the modem.
There were at least 10 people active on that (single-line) BBS running on an Apple ][+. My brother and I would be up until the wee hours of the morning watching text scroll slower than we could read it on that 22 character wide display...
Once, we even had the FBI show up unexpectedly at our door. Mom was pissed. What great memories!
For only $500 at crutchfield you can get a sony 300 disc dvd changer. It doesn't have the geek factor you want, but it works, and you never have to swap out discs.
Let's see, take a story written by VA's Roblimo, post it on VA's Newsforge, get it covered across the pond on The Register, and then mention it back on VA's/.
While I have _zero_ programming skills, and can barely get around in linux, I do use the smoothwall distro for firewalling.
I've heard everyone talk about how you can build one of these on your own, but I know I wouldn't have the patience to get it figured out. It'd be great to see a special distro that you just install on a machine with the right hardware (soundblaster, tv-out, ir, big drive), and just have it work. That'd be worth paying for.
Rumors tell that Be does have the OS running on blue G3 macs. But because they don't want to chase any problems due to apple changing ROMs, etc, they won't release it.
Personally, running linux isn't really as neeto as being able to talk to mom on the phone, ask for that meatloaf recipie, have her tap into her database, and zap it right into mine. Without having to find a pen or paper to write it down.
I simply meant some generic, nondescript utils that happen to be included in my RedHat distro. Some of those are also also included on my BeOS installation, and some in my Win2k. Period.
Some happened to be GNU, some weren't. Can't please everybody.

Have to agree. Taking a beginning C course last semester, I looked at some source for some linux command line utils. It was amazing how many places RMS showed up.
Product placement seems to always drive the computer realism in movies. Jerry McGuire was about to go broke, but he still had that SGI on his desk, as did every secretary in his old office...
umm, is 3D/OpenGL charting of an athletes salary history really required?
This is very much the case with smaller software companies who can't afford to have their software stolen, but I don't see Microsoft paying their engineers $8/hr because the pirates are running them out of business.
No, they pay them that because it's all they're worth.
Why do we need http, nfs, telnet, ftp servers running by default in a home networked environment. I've always used RedHat, and sure it gives the option of what servers to run, but somebody with no unix/server experience would quite probably just pass over such a screen without even thinking about the consequences.

But I would imagine that respawning isn't yet an option for these soldiers.
Hopefully, they realize that too.

It's called Apple.

No, linux users don't make things difficult.
Unlike 5 GHz 802.11a, 802.11g is backwards compatible with the huge installed base of 802.11b products.
But will it be backwards compatible with 802.11a?
For my penny, I would have a list of "about 236,000,000" web sites that include the word "not." (Doubt me? Try it yourself.)
I tried it. And got 251,000,000 results. Leading the list was GNU's Not Unix. How poetic.

so aside from the colors, what's the difference between the neo, platinum, and the $169 deluxe?
Ummm, Jurassic Park had SGIs ("this is a UNIX system. I know this."), and so did Jerry McGuire, on every desk.

apparently, because you could also put BeOS on it. now, just add that USB-ethernet adapter...

BeOS. duh.
Hopefully, the USPTO will start looking at patents closely enough so there won't be a need to review them in the future.

Definately a man who deserves his say.
is it just me, or do the scales on that yellow fish appear very similar to a certain flag...

A BeOS port, hopefully...
