Depends on the point of view of the gamer too. I'd rather see bigger, longer games on the Wii than smaller, shorter hi-def games on the Xbox360 or PS3.
Well, duh. The series of tubes only work for intranet-style networks, like a city. As soon as we're talking inter-cities, you need big, huge trucks. That's where the huge latency comes from and gets you killed in your favorite online game.
Especially if you want people on all platforms to use the thing. There's no LPT or COM ports on Macs, for example. And a lot of new motherboards have also dumped the legacy ports, so it's not a Mac-only problem.
I forgot to mention that I want something that will not swap at all (or something that can have swapping disabled) since I plan on using a CompactFlash card as the IDE drive.
Is there such a thing as a MAME Linux Distro? With better support for TV outputs (resolutions, refresh rates), USB and PS/2 control panels (I-PAC, etc), mini-ITX CPUs, GPUs and audio chipsets, FAT32 support?
I've seen lots of "MAME on Linux" pages if I do a search, but is there a MAME-specific Linux distro?
And if there isn't any, which distro would be the most basic one to make the perfect MAME cabinet (as in, the OS doesn't run background processes that would be useless for a game system).
The "Iron Man" exoskeleton being worked on by Robert Downey Jr. in the movie (left) is eerily similar to the real Exoskeleton (right) being developed at Raytheon.
Flash memory cards (and Flash chips) usually have bad blocks, that's part of the manufacturing process. If you were to buy two identical flash cards and compare their exact available space (in bytes), you'd see different numbers.
The Matrix, The 13th Floor, Existenz, The Truman Show, Deckard in Blade Runner, the last unknown Cylon in the new Battlestar Galactica, etc.
As you say, what you think is real is what is around you. If we're all simulations in a giant computer (or something similar) than our reality is the environment around us and the "real reality" would be perceived as "unreal" to most people.

Given his 6-digit ID, I don't think he's that new.
And that's brown, not green.
1. Get sued for trademark infringement
2. Get court to force you to buy negative keywords (which value is less than zero)
3. Profits!
Uhoh, I think I just sent the files to myself in 1988. Damn you Time Machine!

He said friends. That's a minimum of two. ;)

Using wi-fi hardware to make a wi-fi network is hacking now?

Even more simple: ditch AC altogether. :D
Is that an idea for a script for a ST:Voyager episode?
The customer doesn't really know how big the hard drive capacity is, he just goes with whatever Windows/Mac OS X/Linux is telling him.
Let's sue Microsoft, Apple and... erm... Linus?

Capacity
- 1GB or 2GB USB flash drive (1)
Footnotes:
1. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
They should be writing 1GiB or 2GiB instead. And their footnote only makes matter worst as it's basically stating that 1GB = 1GiB...
The "Corbomite Device" was a bluff? So that means the "Photonic Canon" threat used by the Doctor in Voyager was also a remake of an old episode?

What if you put the invisible unicorn in front of a pink wall? ;)
Nope, that's how it was written in the frame in Futurama:
