So, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 means no integrity at all, and 10 means the news media with the most integrity, where would the NYP,/., and the, oh, Weekly World News be?
OK, so this guy wants, instead of 1/10000 of the US population to be playing GTA, the entire US population to be child molestors. It's a FUCKING VIDEO GAME (well, there is fucking in GTA:VC). Can we get a photo of this guy, and check the plastic-to-real-skin ratio?
Not much competition. The Pegasos boards? I haven't even seen a PICTURE of them. The AmigaONEs? I've found pics, and even submitted a story about a Mini-ITX AmigaONE to here, but not much. BTW, if there were a way to get an AmigaONE board to use Mac OS X without Mac-on-Linux, I just might build myself a Mini-ITX box;-)
Yes, it is how they make money. However, is it our duty to make sure X company gets money and doesn't go out? No. They're pushing the power out of their antenna for anyone to watch.
Those viruses (Win32.CIH, for one) DID attack Flash BIOSes. They rendered the system unbootable (unless there was an emergency backup on the mobo), so that the chip had to be thrown in a running box and flashed.
Is there a wrapper for Windows printer drivers like the Linuxant wrapper for NDIS 5 drivers? If so, the Minolta PagePro 1250W is a very good choice. I've got one, and I'm sharing an adaptor made with GhostScript and GSPrint, and pushing it through Samba to my Linux laptop. Works fairly well, too.
RTFP. The best way to do it is once with black paper (to kill actual machines), and then again with a random hash to fill up a fax server's hard drive.
Hmm, I'd think there would be MORE confusion in Japan, as the Play Station (note the spaces - SNES + unreleased Super Disc) was only made for Japan, and only 200 were made.
However, using a Google Cache of a site with images doesn't work - it only caches text, and has the browser grab the pics from the site. So, when it's/.ed, the pics won't work.
Fax snake it - load first page, tape second page to the end, tape third page to the end of that, as first page comes through, tape third page to first page. Of course, the best way to fuck up a fax machine is to send one of those for a while if it's a machine, and then do it with a random hash if it's a computer.
My spam filter lets 1 or 2 through every couple of weeks (BTW, I only GET 5 or 6 in that time period), and once a mail about arranging a donation of RAM got thrown in the Spam can earlier today. Also, a/. notification got thrown in (I whitelisted slashdot@slashdot.org after that).
Ten, not 15. The Toshiba Dynapad T-100 was the first, in 1993.
Also, why not a 4-6 hour laptop with a 4-6 hour Tablet running VNC Server on the lapper and VNC Client on the tablet (unless you mean $2000 for ALL of it)?
Play Station - Super Famiclone + Super Disc PlayStation X (AKA PSX) - The first well-known PS PSone (PS1) - PSX Jr. (not the IBM PS/1) PlayStation 2 (PS2) - Not the IBM PS/2! PSX (the new one) - A PS2 with TiVo and a DVD burner PlayStation portable (PSp) - A hack based on the PSone, making it a bit bigger than a classic Gameboy PlayStation Portable (PSP - note capitalization) - Sony's new portable, nobody knows much PlayStation 3 (PS3) - Possibly available as an upgrade for PS2 (reeks of Adam)
It's Super Disc, and it was going to be the market name. However, Nintendo saw the Sega CD flopping, and pulled it. Sony made the Play Station, a (AFAIK) licensed Super Famiclone with a built-in Super Disc, and (AFAIK) didn't release any of the 200 that they made.
BTW, why couldn't the SNES play a NES game without having two consoles in one? The SNES uses a 65C816 by Western Design Center. It is code-compatible with the WDC 65c02, which is code- and pin-compatible with the MOS/Synertek/others 6502. The NES uses a 6502.
They didn't make a PSX+SNES. They made a SNES that could play exactly 0 CD games, as no SNES CD games were released.
AFAIK, they MADE 200 of the Play Station, not sold. They could have been scrapped.

I was saying that they DID need to increase storage size, because you were saying that the CD should have been enough.
Also, a custom DVD drive couldn't play CDs, which was one strength of the PlayStation over the N64, and the drives WOULD be harder to make.
Umm... then why were games approaching 4 CDs on the PS1?
What I'm wondering is how hard would a PS1/PS2 port be. Would it be a simple burn-it-on-a-UMD, or is the PSP actually different inside?
BTW, someone has made a portable PS1 - http://www.classicgaming.com/vcsp (forget URL to the PS1 Portable, but click Systems, and then PSp)

D'oh! I had thought the LC came before the II, but I was obvioulsy wrong. The Mac II came out in '87, the LC in '90. LEM is a VERY good resource...
Well, there is throwing it into an EPROM burner, but that's something many people don't have.
AFAIK, weren't Macs in color in '86? Or was the LC later?
For that matter, he must have forgotten the Commodore 64... or Apple's own Apple ][...

Where is this at? URL? Torrent?
Myself, I haven't seen that much (being in the US) that's very funny.
Tomsrtbt, Floppix (that's two floppies), Fdlinux, etc., etc.

No, no, no. Don't mod me redundant for this:
Play Station - Super Famiclone + Super Disc
PlayStation X (AKA PSX) - The first well-known PS
PSone (PS1) - PSX Jr. (not the IBM PS/1)
PlayStation 2 (PS2) - Not the IBM PS/2!

The only problem is that no games support the monitor cable - they need the TV cable...
