Since W7 is getting these phone homes, I don't think I want to use it. I noticed a lot of software, beside MS', wants to phone home or somewhere these days.:(
A few years ago, I booted up my Compaq Armada 1585DMT lappy (Intel Pentium MMX 150 MHz with 32 MB (upgraded from 16 MB) of DIMM EDO RAM, 256k cache, 12" 16-bit high colors active matrix display at 800x600, Cirrus Logic CL-GD7548 (LCD PCI) with 1 MB RAM, ESS Technology ES1878 AudioDrive PnP (without a true wavetable card), 10X Matsushita/Matshita UJDCD8700 IDE CD-ROM drive, internal Compaq Armada 1500 series 336 FaxModem (33.6k), 2.0 GB IDE harddrive, 2-buttons touchpad. Added a Kensington 2-buttons mouse and Netgear FA510 NIC (PCMCIA). Running Microsoft Windows 95.0b (OSR2)) from my college days. It still worked. I giggled at its animated Star Trek's LCARS boot screens. Also, my customized desktop, sounds, icons, etc. And then, I Dbanned its HDD (accidently took out its BIOS partition too -- oops!) and donated it (not sure who would use it though?).

People care not about them though!
Like what? :P
Try that with HTML5 videos. :P

Does lack of sleep affect that too? I noticed my body is more sensitive from them. :(
No, I meant how many views. You need many more families to be watching those s(how/erie)s to avoid cancelations. ;)
I think your family was too small to have any impacts though. :(
But some of us use it 24/7. ;)
Your family is not enough. You need like every American family! ;)
Remember shell accounts with TIA and SLiRP for SLIP and PPP emulations over dial-ups? ;)
Step 1: Buy /. /. return.
Step 2: Fix it!
Step 3: Watch the old school
Not for people who have capped (and worse slow) Internet connections. :(
Crisco? :P
It's not just Linux. Look at Mac OS X, Windows, softwares, games, etc. What's up with that? I really miss the old computing days. :(
I don't get it?
Also flipping the bird/giving the bird. :P I just use an online/1 liner ASCII art: ..!..
I still don't like Unity. I miss Gnome v3. In fact, I miss many old stuff! Frak the newer WIndows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc. :(
What about many nerds and/& geeks? Me as 1/one with to add to the stat(istic)s who is becoming a 40 years old virgin soon. :-P
Yoda, is that you?
Ditto. I am avoiding it.
"How wude."
How old does it start messing one up? I'm tired now. :P
For me, I still have and use C&C:TD's sound clips like "Battlecontrol terminated.", "ready and waiting", "acknowledged", "roger that", etc. :D
