Yes. But I don't emulate, I'm running a *real* 486 for the purpose of running old stuff.
Emulation might be enough for most people, but it's not like the real thing.
"Am5x86/133, which was RIDICULOUSLY popular for several years"
One of those is still humming along in an old DOS/98 Gaming rig (at 4*40), no fan, just an epoxyed northbridge heatsink for cooling. I just need to modify an ATX psu to power that motherboard...
" build a giant statue to show just how much waste is being generated."
Corporations care about the environment about as much as they care about people. But sending them all back to their offices will hurt them a lot more since it's gonna hit their wallet
Besides, it's not like you're gonna run games on the thing. What you want is *proven* stuff running really tight code. Back in '93-94 what we learned in CEGEP was 6809 assembly (auto-pilot systems to be exact). It has to be proven and reliable stuff, not buggy bloated cutting-edge stuff. There's also the matter of limited power supply.
That, and to protect their market. Most ISPs are also TV providers, so low caps are just another way of protecting their TV market against Netflix and such.
Here in Montreal, it's either Bell or Videotron. Both are ISPs and TV providers. We get a low 60GB/Month of bandwith, which pretty much prevents anyone from ditching TV.

DOTT is one of my favorites

*No. Insurrection can't be beat in horrible-ness.*

Isn't there some kind of braille encoding on US bills like on canadian money?
I remember having two of those (in socket form) humming at around 500 (112FSB) in a BP6. God that thing was fast...

"A CD is pure uncompressed audio"
Which won't make a big difference when the Dynamic Range is shot to hell

And Yes I can hear the difference.
In the DJ world vinyl is prefered because it's much easier to manipulate, not for sound.
That's why an almost defacto standard is dual SL-1200 turntables for mixing vinyl.
Besides, people listening to that kind of music don't really care about *quality*

Lucky you. In montreal we have around 50GB cap from both telco and cableco
"ISP's make very little PROFIT after ALL BILLS ARE PAID"
I call BS. They still make lots of money even after paying multi-million dollar salaries to their executives and dividends to shareholders.

Besides, a light gun will *not* work on anything else than a CRT
Can't any mods report that fscker to his provider? When I worked for an ISP I *loved* taking care of those...
You forgot to add that many times it's sorted by children in unsafe conditions
Come on, he probably had some nice beers while staying there

And those giants are also ISPs, so don't think they'll give higher caps so you can stream their competition
Yup, that's the way it goes in some parallel universe :)
Good! now we can start building TIE Fighters
And one solar flare later, they're all dead. That's why they need radiation hardened stuff. Besides, the energy requirements would be a problem...

I would welcome something like Google Fiber...
