It's a new video format on DVD media. Does that help? Seeing that it's more open, a OSS coded will be out within a week of the first EVD disc being released.
Can anyone here see EVD discs being the new piracy media of choice? It's the same media as DVDs, so a DVD-ROM could read it. And, since there seems to be less encryption, some OSS developer will have an EVD codec out quickly.
You were lucky. I had a cheapo clone//e with a 6502A (2MHz! Woohoo!), a legit//c with all of the RAM already there (w/o expansion - it was the first model), and a Laser 128EX without an expansion card installed (it had a//e slot hanging off the side)
Oh, they'll still be manufactured. Cheapo toy PDAs and games run on 4-bit CPUs, graphing calculators run on 8-bit Z80s, older Palm OS PDAs run on 68000-based 16-bit Dragonball CPUs (Palm JUST finished switching to 32-bit ARM-class CPUs), and 32-bit will live on for years to come. 8-bit CPUs are the most common CPUs today. They were introduced DECADES ago, and phased out in PCs a mere 10 years ago (when Apple discontinued the Apple//e), and they're still extremely popular. 50 years from now, my watch will have a NetBurst-based Watchium 4 in it. Socket 478 watch CPU with a huge heatsink, anyone?
80 column card. Some were available for the ][/][+ systems. Basically, the first ones added 1K of VRAM. The VRAM was allocated so that the even-numbered columns (if the first column is 0) were in the normal 1K of text VRAM, and the odd-numbered columns were in the additional 1K of text VRAM (note that later//e systems used this 1K VRAM for a double-hires video mode in addition to the 80-col mode). Most 80-col cards had 64K RAM instead of 1K, so that the system could have 128K RAM.
Actually, I am currently in the process of going out of my way to buy an overpriced Intel CPU and an overpriced RadiSys board. It's called a Pentium M 1.3GHz and a RadiSys LS855. I want the low heat output/power consumption, and the high performance per watt/MHz. Look at benchmarks of Pentium M laptops versus Pentium 4 or Athlon XP M laptops. I want a friggin Pentium M desktop!
It's an IBM PowerPC in the GameCube. Keep in mind, the PS1 used a 33MHz MIPS (1MB RAM?), and could kick 133MHz/16MB RAM PC ass when it was launched. The PS2 competed against 800MHz/128MB RAM PCs in it's day. Consoles are actually GAINING ground on PCs again. (keep in mind, the NES was a 6502@1MHz versus the Apple II line with 65(C)02@1MHz CPUs)
They make the Geodes? Holy shit! I thought the Geodes were Cyrix derivatives! (In case you didn't know, Cyrix blows chunks - Cyrix 3 (aka VIA C3/Eden) doesn't count, as it's a WinChip, which sucks, but not NEARLY as badly)
The 65xx CPUs could address 64K w/o bankswitching. So, it's programming anything over 64K that's a pain (although that 64K includes VRAM - BTW, 80 column apps aren't a pain in BASIC, even though they use 65K RAM (2K text VRAM instead of 1K)).
Actually, it's an Apple II running DOS 3.3 & CP/M 2.2 apps. Both OSes are date-independent (no date stamps). ProDOS 8 WAS date-dependent, and is NOT y2k compliant (ProDOS 16/GSOS is y2k compliant, but that's IIgs, not//e).
This is just for e-mail. No, Thunderbird doesn't have calendaring. However, there are OSS calendaring apps (for Linux anyway). Did you notice I prefer Outlook Express to Opera for e-mail?
Doesn't matter. It doesn't work anyway (from 16:05 to 23:03 is a screen saying that they can't show it, and it's definitely the spoof, as right after the pause, Bill Gates is in front of a screen showing Matrix-esque falling characters)
If the web forum has a place for a bio, and you don't want to put HTTP 404 Not Found or crap like that there, it's a good place to put it (view my info for an example).
Actually, if you read the fine print of my high school's computer policy, the rules apply at home too (and they're extremely draconian - no games?!?!? no pr0n, no hacking, educational use only, bla bla bla...)
Sorry, but "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me" doesn't hold true. Verbal abuse is just as bad as physical abuse. BTW, I didn't think SMS was anon - I thought it'd give you the phone number (there are many services that WILL send anon SMS, though - just over the internet)
And redirect everyone from that ISP to goatse? Also, if that bully finds the goatse shit, he'll say your little brother is a fag. You can't fight back - unless you actually try to WinNuke everyone from that/24 who visits your site...
(way ot, but sig-replies are fair game) Geekcode is so 1996. e*
Only because they didn't update it since then - some of the traits should be gone or changed. I mean, I suck on some of the traits simply because they were well before my time.

One, running Windows 98 for internet access, and a 4 or 8-bit (maybe even no CPU) for temperature control.

Then they'll just throw us in the Matrix! ;-)

No, they're copied to every comment you ever wrote when you change it.

Desolder 16K from the mobo AND yank out the 80 col card? Yeah right.

WiMP, but it's at: http://www.mediagab.com/gamecube.asp
That's actually what I was looking for. Googling "tux morpheus" didn't turn up anything...

Tux as Neo
Somewhere I also saw Tux in a trenchcoat like Morpheus's, and I'd think Tux would be better as morpheus than Neo.

Fight carefully. Don't h4x0r their box - let them find out how to h4x0r your box, then report them to their ISP.
