Everyone I knew in college used it for file transfer within on-campus housing. It was convenient with everyone being on the same network. It's also my preferred method to transfer things around the network at home. Plus, there's a growing market of NAS boxes for home use.
I was introduced to Tribes when I started going to a youth center near home...they had 8 computers that you could play anything they had in their library on. A couple summers in a row, all that showed on those screens was a specific Tribes mod. It's been too long, and I don't remember the name.
There were speed pads and jump pads (put 3 speed pads in a row, and they worked multiplicatively...you could run in and get shot across the map...you'd die instantaneously, and the camera continued following your body until you hit the edge of the map). I remember once, on a map with two floating fortresses, we stuck as many laser turrets as possible directly under the enemy base. They spawned, dropped off the edge, and *BAM*, about 5 lasers hit at once (2-3 were enough to kill *any* player). We ended up removing them out of mercy....
I still maintain that Office 97 was the best Microsoft office ever. Tiny install (by today's standards), quick load, and the auto-correct crap isn't too hard to shut off. Although, I'll also state that OpenOffice is better, even with the longer loadtimes.
I've seen more people using Ubuntu than I think I would've without Vista crapping things up, but how common do you really think it is? A couple percent (and even that being a stretch)? I think you're fooling yourself if you predict a mass migration away from Windows. MS products seem to be "good enough" to most people that they aren't going to change until the computer is literally unusable (rather than just nearly so).
The fines being used weren't designed for regular people freely trading music on a digital network. They were designed for large-scale illegal distributors, making a profit off each copy. Technology's march has outpaced our society's laws, so we're treating regular people the same way that we'd treat knowledgeable criminals mass-producing music for a profit. You don't have a problem with that? There should be fines. Maybe $10 per song or something. Not $700 or $900 or whatever it is. That's just ridiculous.
OK. I've heard you say that several times. How long ago was this? Did you have multi-gigabyte OS images to download? How about websites sharing documentaries? Professors that require you to download SDKs or IDEs that run into the hundreds of megabytes?
And costs the school extra maintenance time, and the pay for someone to set that up, administrate it, and keep it up to date. Not to mention tech support, helping the students to use it as their package mirror.
Of course, that isn't to say that copyright infringement isn't something to be fought against, if the original copyright holder wishes. Saying that infringement isn't the same as theft doesn't mean that it's a *good* thing to do.
I don't need more than that to do Windows and Linux security updates in a reasonable time? Like 300-500MB? On the computer that I use to do my schoolwork? What about student MSDN licenses, downloading the DVDs for Visual Studio? Some students have needs beyond what you've stated.
A firmware is a piece of software, which runs on hardware. This is similar to how the OS runs using hardware. This is still a modification of software, but at a lower level than most software mods are applied. *Refrains from throwing around insults*
Well, personally, my "other account's server farm" is my desktop in my bedroom...I doubt I'll be whistling anything at all, should a meteor impact there!
Enhancing the encryption will kill their old games too. The secret key for the copy protection is known; current generation flash cartridges authenticate in the exact same way as a Nintendo-produced cartridge would.
I think a single processor is bound to each screen, and they can be swapped. The slower one tends to be used for 2d graphics, and the faster one for 3d.
I'd like to say that one of the reasons my manager hired me was specifically that I *didn't* have certifications. He tends to equate certification with people that can't get out and learn something on their own. Of course, maybe my boss is just a rare kind of guy...

Yay, Firefly! *Goes back to watching Dr. Horrible*

Too much Star Trek, too little Simpsons. Try again, AC.
I'm in Orange County California, and paying $1500 per month for a 2BR apartment. So, yeah....$800 sounds quite nice =)
Haven't you seen some online "art" galleries? #1 most certainly *does* apply to Photoshop!

At my (state) college, that would be a full ride (room+board and tuition) for about 9 students.

Gives new meaning to the term "brown eye", I guess.
He was obviously using the absence of her mention as a subtle way of reminding you of her.

They're the Wi-fi multiplayer games. I think Nintendo is trying to protect us from posting data files with our login info in them or something.

There's a video format that plays. In fact, watch the opening of Final Fantasy III DS, which opens with a FMV sequence.

That would be either "this ....phenomenon" or "these ....phenomena".
