Respectively, it was the Prism (Toyota Corolla), Metro (Suzuki Swift) and Tracker (Suzuki Escudo and later the Vitara for the post-Geo model), and Storm (Isuzu Impulse)...?
4-cylinder was optional and, I guess, part of the LSi package. I think it was 1.3 liter though. One of my old coworkers had one. (At least the current Japan-only Suzuki Swift is 1.3 liter)
I can somewhat confirm that this is how it works. TV over IP is sent via broadcast (or multicast, I guess). We have a system like that where I am. Open up the viewer, watch TV, and also watch how there is no extra network traffic at all.
Internetwork IP TV is another story. Sounds like a lot of work for the routers and services would probably be limited per ISP.
Which means they'd probably choose Nickelodeon material over Cartoon Network's. That's pretty much how it's worked out for Armed Forces Network television for U.S. military overseas, which also only consists of about four or five channels in most areas (usually much less if you're a non-subscriber living outside the installation).
Sucks having something obnoxious like Rugrats on instead of Dexter's Lab.
This reminds me of entertaining stories of people who screwed around with old Mac disk drives. Supposedly, if you tightened the eject spring, you could send the disk flying across the room upon hitting Command-E.
Also had an external zip drive that launched disks a foot or so.
I see it, too. Great, now I'm going to have nightmares about Wilbur creeping up on me while I'm not looking and...*gasp*...replacing the toilet handle with a five-window interface for operating it.
No, just the same as if you had discovered a free, superior, and currently existing product such as Ad-Aware and/or Spyboy S&D instead of burning cash on some software that doesn't do its job.
I'm about to switch to Debian, but one of my criticisms is that the startup is really sloppy-looking compared to other distros. The init.d scripts are probably no different compared to other distros, just the startup text is unreadable if you're in a pinch. Ubuntu seems to have recognized this and cleaned it up quite a bit.
But bizarre things need to happen if you want a background image. To change the resolution of the bootsplash in Mandrake while keeping the background, I had to run some command that wrote a new initrd file. I guess it contains the raw binary form of the image somewhere in the kernel loader or something.
It comes out to more like four or five weird commands that don't come naturally.
Yeah, that's the game I meant. I received it as a gift around three years ago, but the game's play (among the obvious McBoob issue) was really shitty. I definitely didn't pick it up from the store expecting something else.
P3 500 MHz? Ew..yeah, I'd say skip on the RHGB screen. Actually sounds similar to some people's claims that Windows 95 and 98 started quicker without the 320x400 splash screen showing.
Then there's the terran unit in Starcraft who can't help but talk to the player in a cheesy sexy manner (there's other games like this, feel free to name a few). It actually gets on my nerves after a minute. It's more of a verbal Booby McBoob, but pretty much fits the same category of portrayal of women in computer games if you ask me.
Right, I'm not saying video game characters should look like Momma Hobgoblin, but it needs to remain believable. None of this Lara Croft crap ever made sense to me. I never understood why any gamer would want a character who had boobs that were four feet long, unless they made a useful impaling weapon or something.
Holy crap, that's barely do-able with human hands. I think the Wolfenstein 3D cheat was easier to pull off. Anyway, even Ctrl-Alt-Backspace wasn't working during the incident, I doubt whatever that thing is would have helped, though I don't even know what it does.

Overrip, bad checksum, incomplete or bad header data, etc. In emulators, these types of ROMs tend not to run on everything.

And my head would be an old keyboard - and when I get mad, it'd play the demo.
Tsh! be-beep! Tsh! be-beep! Tsh! be-beep!
Ahh, yes. Debian: the perfect world - where Gnome Display Manager starts up in runlevel 2 when you install it.
(Ok, that one was pretty easy to fix, but god damn, that should've been obvious)
Some posters just need to shut up and laugh. Trolling and humor are not mutually exclusive.
I, for one, laughed my ass off at that post.

They want it to "just work"...but they don't want to spend a lot of money...

Well, I guess we can start with this.

You just game me an idea...
Time for me to set up shop selling harddrives in rural areas of South Korea!

Exactly! And she didn't look like some oversimplified synthesis of what some dork thought a woman should look like. That's the best part.

I actually remember this. Thanks!
