Funny, I played with an Apple ][ in like 5th grade and was hooked on (logo?) the programming language they gave us to play with. The first computer that was "mine" was a Convergent Technologies machine running some OS I have no idea of. That machine lasted about a year before it finally died (HDD was whining from the day I got it), then I got an HP programmable "calculator" (desktop version) with an integrated thermal tape printer and magnetic strip reader (actually pre-dated the Covergent machine) and finally a hand me down 80286 in my freshman year of high school. Shortly there after I was given an NEC8000 CP/M machine and learned what a flub-up both the apple and 286 w/ MS Dos was. Tinkered with them all till they died. Now I break stuff for a living, glad I had PCs when I was a kid. -nB
I know several people who would like to beg to differ on that little point;)
As far as the topic at hand:
Room for rent, anyone may apply (because the law says you can). You will be sharing the flat with me: a homophobic white guy wo is not fond of other races or people who can't speek English good. You decide if you want to apply. ..
-nB
As a note, that is not me, and the statement should be "can not speak English well." for the grammer pedants out there. -nB
In my case at least, we are specifically not allowed to sleep anywhere on the campus (parking lot included). We have a gym, showers, cafe, etc. so everything else is there. -nB
ironically though, spending hours on/. is less likely to get you canned than 1 min of solitare. Why? because it's not a "game" so the PHB is less wise of it. -nB
It is spam, though I would tend to argue that it is of a more forgivable nature than c!al1z spam and such.
I for one would like to help this guy, but the article is so light on contact information (rightly so in this case) that I'm not quite sure where to start. I like what he's doing. -nB
Some of it, yes. most of it? no. In the case of NT3.51 and previous even video ran in user space, makes for besser security, useability suffers at some points though. -nB
Actually M$ code can be quite secure. Once you rip out all the crap (mostly UI based) the kernal its self isn't too bad. NT3.51 was excellent from a security perspective. -nB
what if everyone thumbed their nose at AT&T and said join the consortium (and get your *fair* share) or we will fight your patent as a team? I mean, while I have not RTFP I am sure that it can be worked/wiggled around with the current patent pool providing some form of prior art? -nB
Many people have spent twice the price of Windows on a new console. Nope. Windows costs $400.00, a new console costs $400.00 (or $180 for the previous generation) -nB
Building on the moon is much cheaper than building in space. Dig a tunnel. Put pressure door on said tunnel. pressurise tunnel with plasma'd moon rock or polymer mist at high PSI (if the base is to be 15 PSI then pressurise to 25 or some such. once the tunnel self seals you can build your base in it. You get an air tight structure with shielding from cosmic radiation all at a fraction of the cost. -nB

Also, some of us do things on the fringe of legality because we are some combination of "it's fun" and we're stupid. (see sig)

So you're saying that there are flamer trolls? :-)

Just script some up and let them loos in other peoples houses :-)
Actually...
would that work? that would be just about enough to get me to join. A programmer's MMORPG, the better code wins!
