If I were still teaching, I would likely use this as a means to teach basic programming skills.....
To top it all off, it's using HTML, XML, and Javascript.
I would prefer to start learning basic skills using one language at a time.
Another nifty feature was that the MP features could be easily enabled by drilling and soldering; however, the lack of sufficient cache made it a poor dual cpu system.
So, the Sun server may not be as cheap as building a system out of spare parts lying around in your basement, but it really is pretty cheap compared to the competition in that space.
I would go for this one: http://www.dansdata.com/ttransport.htm/
Whether Sun's cheap NOW does not interest me.
I'm not willing to strap myself to one company for the coming years.
Sure, they're feeling the heat NOW, but what happens to the prices once the heat's over?
But ever since software companies stopped selling software and started selling services, they now are going after users. I guess selling software once for $50 is not as profitable as activating software on a monthly fee of $12.95. Take the RPG of the 80's and compare them to the games of today.
I remember downloading Space Quest Series off the BBS. They usually had a check (what's on page xx of the manual) to validate the purchase. Nothing new here, though the use of computers has massively increased and so has copyright violation.
W.r.t. the amount of lawyers; I guess Vohaul did succeed with his deployment of lawyers although I'm quite sure I finished him off in SQ2...
sarcasm and grammar errors dont go well together.. just want to ask whether you meant collisions "aren't" always the result of too high a speed, because certainly a lot of the time they're caused by lack of observation and attention.
I was not intentionally sarcastic; I just wanted to address the situation where everybody calls for speed limitations once an accident occurs; it's a very limited view on the problem.
My idea is lack of observation and attention will be promoted by gadgets.
Obviously if you're going slower then the accident should be less horrific (assuming you hit a stationary object and not a moving one)
I've seen some pretty horrific accidents of motorcyclists, e.g. when hitting the curbs. Not to mention low-speed accidents that occur with pedestrians.
Collisions are always the result of too high a speed.
Just another gadget to take responsibility away from the driver does not receive my appreciation.
Attention and common sense are far more valuable than some rules.
Oh well, back to my speeding tax form...
The thing interesting about Sims is you can model yourself, experiment in behaviour/relations you wouldn't do in real life without thinking twice.
Of course, spending 2 hours on the toilet a day is ridiculous, I do that while at work.

You have it easy. Out here the wolves smell and track me from miles away without having seen me.
A small hello world comparison:
vs.Basic skills involve paradigms; in this example (XML/HTML/js) the separation of style and content is not really clear.Darn. I voted for FAT12!
Another nifty feature was that the MP features could be easily enabled by drilling and soldering; however, the lack of sufficient cache made it a poor dual cpu system.
Smooth, but does it run on the UNIVAC??
I mean, can I solder my own crypto accelerator for about $50 using basic electronics equipment?
The secret?
Get some dog trainings and appreciate the real value of a dog. It is way beyond some $1000.
Go find your own scam, Mr. Nigerian Ambassador.

How can you rate Firefox no #1 and Google (search engine) at #16 ?? Wikipedia is certainly useful..

It is ridiculous you have to get pissed in order to get things done which obviously just can be done.
Yup. No soup for me.
Swedish chef anyone?
