NESten, maybe? FCE Ultra? Nesticle is way old, and is not really recommended as far better emulators have eventually come out. Though even the NESten creator admits it's not perfect; "nesten" means "almost" in Norwegian. One emulator, however, Nestopia, is pretty much perfect, though. So perfect it won't run smoothly on iBook. Zophar's Domain has a huge archive of emulators for all systems. Highly recommended. For emulation on a Mac, though, EmuScene has more information.
Some day, when I'm famous enough, I, too, will have the honor of being called an asshole on Slashdot. Or asshat by people who spend too much time on Fark in addition.
To nitpick... It's 4 GB (gigabytes), not 4 Gb (gigabits). It's also not 4 GiB (gibibyte). Sorry. I don't know why I posted that. It just feels instrinctive to bash people for tiny errors on Slashdot.:(
They're probably just not ready yet. Apple has always, AFAIK, had 3 models, and obviously there's now just a free space for a 60 GB. Oh, and Apple uses Toshiba for the big iPods, and Hitachi for the small ones. Just to clear that up.
In 1997 Netscape had many more users than Internet Explorer.
A study by IDC which analyzed the installed base of Web browsers through the end of 1997 shows that Microsoft's Internet Explorer is gaining further on market leader Netscape. According to the study, marketshare for Netscape Navigator fell from 54.6% in 1996 to 50.5%. Microsoft's share rose in the same time period from 16.4% to 22.8%. In third place is America Online's browser, which rose from 13.1% to 16.1%. Since America Online now uses IE as its default browser, most of those users will probably be attributed to Internet Explorer this year. "IE gains further on Netscape" -- 1998.
Or like in any other language where the pronounciation has something to do with the spelling. That is, not English.
I do wonder, however; is the Czechish "fu" pronounced like what in the Hepburn system is romanized to "fu"? It's in the "h" row, and is thus in the less popular systems romanized as "hu". The front teeth don't make contact with the lip in the Japanese "fu" like it does in other languages; it's more like saying "hu" with the teeth kinda closer to the lip, so it's something in between.
And from everyone I know, there are only two Christians. Still, there are a lot of Christians out there. Let's not forget that we have pretty small sample sizes to go on with our personal anecdotes.
Opera doesn't have the problems you mentioned you didn't like about Firefox. The WMV thing you might have to add to the settings, though, but I'm not sure.
Oh, and you don't have to download any of those damned Extensions. It just works perfectly just the way it is.
Too. Much. Work. Working at McDonald's for $5 an hour long enough to earn enough money for Opera (after tax!) takes less time than trying to find all the extensions that together add half of the functionality of Opera to FireFox. And then they break when a new version of the browser comes out. No thank you.
An interesting thing with OS X is that the system-wide Address Book can be used by any application, so if you want to write a virus that distributed itself through email, it wouldn't need to infect any email client; it could just include a small smtp daemon, fake the from: address to be the email address in the the "myself" card in the Address Book, and send itself to everyone else it can find there.

Well duh, obviously they got caught since you know about it. The possible good cheaters don't.
Well, to nitpick, it's not a Fibonacci sequence unless there were two 1's. A Fibonacci sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8... A 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 has a different name.
And yes, I read this in another thread where someone said the same thing about Winamp. Why am I reposting? What's the purpose? Meh.
I was thinking the same thing last year: I hardly play games, and those Macs sure do look nice (my parents have used Macs for 17 years, all my life, with no sidesteps). So I got an iBook. Haven't looked back since.
Tiger is due out in the first half of 2005, so there's still quite a while to wait. Oh, and make sure you watch the recording of Steve Jobs' keynote if you have an hour and 40 minutes to spare. It's nice, and watching the new features being demonstrated is much better than just reading about them.
It wasn't rhetorical, if that's what you thought. I'm planning on getting an iPod as soon as I have some money and the new generation comes out, but if I can have something that works just as well for less money, then I'm of course happy with that.
Well, if you trigger it you have to stop your work and go buy a new cartridge, which kinda seems like a PITA. And even if you have a spare cartridge, you'll have to a new one after that, and, well, y'know, it does keep you careful, even though the price for making a mistake is $20 for a new cartridge and not your finger.

Already taken.
Actually, they do list RTCW, and it follows the pattern. So, yeah. :)

But there is a 4Gb iPod, known as the iPod Mini.

Is that a reference to JFK's speech? :)

Your laptop doesn't go into power-conserving sleep mode when you put down the lid? But, yes, as you say; being a Windows user you ARE doomed.

The difference is that boxen is a word, and virii is not a word.
And I'm the noob who used UBBCode on Slashdot. Heh.
Never used Altavista? I thought [i]I[/i] was young. Noob. :p

Me, I'm waiting for the Nintendo DS and someone to make a SNES emu for that. Shouldn't be impossible.

Well, if the computer doesn't know what sample is which encoder, doesn't that make it a double blind test?
