For me Q3 restored that feeling of roaming the map areas on an elastic string... a certain snappiness of response, balance of speed of player movement and gameplay etc. that really gave a pleasurable multi-player experience. Like the first time my brother-in-law and I played Doom2 on new P-133 machines. Q1 and Q2 did not quite have it.

That seems to be the problem... People who play PC games tend to have a Wintel box for broadest choice of titles and the best performance from those titles. (Even when they use Linux for nearly everything else.) The Linux game releases are only attractive to those without a Wintel box, or those buying for political reasons. Chicken and egg problem that creates an activation energy barrier for igniting game performance development on Linux...
Yeah, man. It becomes increasingly important to treat the body well as years pass. Our bodies are not thinking machines, they're still focused on working as mechanical engines, our chosen lifestyles notwithstanding. So much is about balance and variety... you neither want to burn out mentally nor atrophy.
At least it isn't professional sports.:)
Your fourth point is very relevant. If you desire greater compensation/job security, you need to focus on the things you can bring to the table that a "commodity" IT worker cannot. The geography advantage of being on the spot in the U.S. is nearly useless unless you choose to take advantage of it.
Methinks the threat to turn to Microsoft might be a bit empty. IIRC the last time that he dealt with Microsoft, he licensed them V4 of the player about a week prior to releasing V5 with protocol updates that made V4 nearly obsolete. Pissed them off pretty good.
Yeah those SFD's were the bomb. Even if you occasionally had to give 'em 20 minutes in the freezer before formatting a new floppy. Modding CNET 10.0... MCI text... good times...:)
Sort of... but how many people here actually sit and watch television as an activity without any sort of multi-tasking? My television is on much of the time that I'm at home, but never, with the exception of a few sporting events, is watching it my sole activity for any period of time.

Sigh... to think I could have killed this guy in high school...

Unless the union includes the cheap overseas workers as well, I think CEO's would just use this as further justification for offshoring jobs.
Damn, doesn't it need to actually work in order to be patentable? Went through xcopy hell recently trying to back up data from a trashed ME box.
So they didn't store the next T&S inline in the sector data?

You cannot read the signal with arbitrary accuracy

Agreed... zombies will be used to acquire more zombies more effectively...
Hmm... Trusted Computing? Oh no!!! :)
