I never really watched McGyver when it was on, so I didn't really remember the actor - I have heard all of the jokes about nuclear bombs from bubble gum and such, and use some of them from time to time (albeit infrequently).
Up until now I watch SG1 on and off and tend to enjoy it (until now). Everytime I watch it, I'm gonna expect O'neal to create a wormhole out of a pack of cigarettes or something otherwise silly.
This is getting ridiculous. Since when did anyone have a RIGHT to make money from anything? Just as in any profession, the easier it is to duplicate the results, the lower the pay. Just ask Doctors, Engineers, IT professionals, Accountants, etc. who have seen their salaries drop due to ever increasing competition, computers, automation, spreadsheets, etc. Think about when (long long time ago) when to calculate something we now take for granted, took days or months or even years. But the RIAA complains it can't maintain lavish lifestyles because their product is easily copied - Boo F*cking Hoo.
Hell, it's so ridiculously easy to make "music" nowadays, and they are still B*tching. Wait till things like Reason, Sonar, Cubase, Fruityloops, become widely known about and start dropping in prices - hell they really aint all that expensive now for what they can do (like reason being a rack of studio equipment for 600 bucks) - especially when sound cards and DSP become of higher and higher qality
"Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major-perhaps the major-stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor."

DOOM 3 has been code released and has been approved for manufacturing!
Utilizing the anticpated AGP (-1)^0.5 or AGPi - A graphics card, for under $8,000,000 that is able to run it at more than 2 FPS will be available the following year.
Now they will finally be ble to create a perpetual motion machine, which not only works, but is environmentally and feline friendly as well.
PETA had this to say:
the desperately needed, perpetual motion machine can now be achieved, that does not conflict with our interests, The long controversial Buttered Cat array is now available without the cats, it is indeed a great day for humanity
In other news, wormherders around the world once again had something to rejoice about.
Chief Wormherder Paul Maud'dib had this to say:
"We were dealt a serious blow with some of the latest security patches, however, we found out that after a while the product still works,
Just set a box of Windows XP out in the field, and the worms keep rolling in. They stopped for a moment and we were afraid we would have to go back to the old method of using shovels and a bucket. But, like magic, they kept coming and coming.
about the possibility of MS using OSS against itself, now this very well might be against the terms of the Antitrust settlement or the OS license agreement, as I have never read the full text of any of them.
But what if microsoft sells a version of software based on linux? Or something of that nature? Windows for Linux.
Clippy: It seems you are trying to enable port fowarding, would you like to enable the/root exploit wizard?
Windows Installer: New Windows(tm) for Linux, now with more Blue Screens than ever!
I'm using a P4 at work right now, and when I had a PII, I remember having to extract all the text content just to be able to work on it, and copy-paste it back into the graphically enhanced version.
I hear ya on that one, but I seem to remember (keep in mind I'm an old geezer in computer terms - 33) that to alleviate that, you could just upgrade the 'graphics accelerator'. I may be wrong, but couldn't a PII with a good ole' Diamond Viper V550 or V770 do the trick?
Plus the fact, that every new OS or software version magically requires more and more power. GRanted some of this is necessary, but how much is really necessary? Some people use ALL of the features of a package, but most don't even scratch the surface. Alot of folks consider me a computer 'Guru', and though I probably know more than most, I am far from it. It's like buying the Hyabusa, when all you want to be capable of doing is riding on two wheels
Was that sooooo long ago? I never had an original pentium, as I usually find the cost/performance not usually worth the upgrade and I therefore usually skip a processor generation or so.
8086 or was it 8088
Mac II (i know, it's not a PC, but it kicked ass, and even though I don't have an apple now, I still believe that they are some very nice machines)
486 dx-2 66 (now that was a cool sounding name)
Pentium II (300 mhz)
Pentium 4 (1.7 & 3.2 Ghz)
Thing is, why do most of us need all of this power? The only thing that has really driven my upgrades has been the ability to play games. Excel worked fine on a PII (even usuing features most 'business' users don't like regression analysis, formulas, etc)
Word processors worked fine as well, in fact I miss some of the older processors that didn't try to autoformat every damned thing
Web browsers as well
I know there are security issues with alot of older softwares, etc, but can't they produce a fast low cost computer, w/o all of the bloat. Then everyone could afford a decent computer to do 99.9% of the things they wan't to.
My cousin just bought a $2000 computer and all he want's to do is occasionally surf, rip mp3's and DVD's - could this be done on a pentium or pentium II platform.
I actually expected the outcome that happened, and here is why:
remember the whole returning to the source, integral anomaly thing. If you take the integral a simple line (everything that has a beginning has an end), then attempt to solve, you will get a +C (Neo) and a -C (Smith). They must cancel each other out.

Picture yourself as a packet on a signal,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody SYNS you, you ACK quite slowly,
A Port with kaleidoscope eyes.
LCD flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the Port with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.

Herbie: Windows ASS has several new features, would you like to learn about them?
Driver: Presses NO
Herbie: Windows ASS is installing the road hazard avoidance system, this may take several minutes depending on the type of your Automobile
Driver: cursing in italian - "Hits Cancel"
Herbie: If you cancel the installation now, the road hazard avoidance system will not be installed, are you sure you want to continue?
Driver: presses YES
Herbie: You must restart your car in order for changes to take effect, or you can press cance to restart later:
Driver: Presses CANCEL
Herbie: Windows ASS has detected new hardware and is unable to find a driver for it

it uses Ammonia-D, otherwise it will have alot of streaks!

"GET ME THOSE MICROBES!!"
Doesn't the long lost civilization of cobra-la live down there under those icecaps? They would already have acces to those microbes.
oh no, Golobulus is just waiting for us to crack the ice, it's part of his plan. Then all of the spores will be released into the atmosphere.
I actually expected the outcome that happened, and here is why:
