All the systems all the games! Musta had a ball for a very very long time. With all that crap he must of had a seperate house for the games and consoles. I can't imagine having so much, must have been a nightmare.
Uh oh, saw a DreamCast in there, does that mean that the PSX2 replaces all of that fun stuff!?!?!
I have been a long time supporter of Microsoft. I worked in several heterogeneous networking environments, using Solaris, Netware, Linux and NT. This new wave of licensing starting with the current 'Office' product, is irritating. Speaking from an 'IT Type's' point of view, it is making me seriously consider moving users to Linux. Sure it may take a bit more time to configure the desktops to be a little easier for them to use. Sure they may have to 'actually' sit and learn what it is the software does on the computer.
Oh wait that's right, that isn't possible. I forgot, Microsoft holds us by the balls. Why? Because in today's world and society, sales people are hired for their selling skills not their computer and technology skills. Administrative people would rather use a notepad and a calculator than learn how to use a computer properly. And it isn't like we IT guys are asking them to learn how to use Linux (yet) just windows.
They can't even 1) take the time to learn the second most brainless OS there is, #1 still being MacOS without the shell. 2)Have the want or desire to learn the OS, at least basics. Again I am not asking them to start scripting, editing the registry, or creating custom kernels.
I think where the problem starts is at the corporate level, there should be a requirement that sales people and administrative folks that work in the IT industry, ought to have an interest toward that industry, otherwise go work at a law office or a retail co.
Make way for the people that have a passion for this industry, the people that seek out learning and growth. If you are one of those people but are making an effort to learn and grow, kudos to you. Good to have you. If you are one of those people and are not making an effort and are instead helping to make our industry mediocre and ineffective, and are doing nothing to learn and grow and you don't think this pertains to you, read it again.
Sorry all, felt like ranting and raving like a madman!;-)
For all of the current endangered species......I'll use the blue whale and all the other whales as an example.
Hunted nearly to extinction....finally bringing themselves back.
Let's start small with cloning a good food supply for them....then work our way up.....get an egg or two from a female, perhaps a million or 3 sperm.....start a nice lil DNA bank...just in case we need it.
I think we may also be missing the fact that....some plants need to be brought back or at least replenished before introducing masses of animals that could potentially strip resources bare.
And if the cloning scientists want to repopulate our oceans with animal AND plant go for it.
Go for it. I think it is wonderful to actually have the capability to bring back a species of animal that was here long before we were. Too bad the conservationists do not see past what they believe to be true. With every new experiment we get that much closer to perfecting cloning. Which if you think about it is really only going to save us in the long run. If we can bring back some of the most basic of animals and plants....some that were key to our worldwide food chain. If we could possibly start making cows that didn't carry e-coli, chickens that didn't carry diseases that end up killing people. Wouldn't it be nice, I would rather enjoy showing my future children, animals that, I've never even seen! On that note, I'd actually like to see a DoDo bird. I remember reading that the last of them were bludgeoned to death. Were they a harm on livestock!? No....they just happened to be something to kill. I'm not saying, hey let's, let those cloning boys just have a free for all and clone everything in sight. Of all things that should have boundaries this is one of them. If the cloning is done for our and the 'worlds' betterment. By all means, go for it! I applaud you. However cloning of humans, and cloning of potentially harmful (to the ecosystem) animals and possibly plants....should never be done. I applaud their efforts and their intelligence, please I beg of you to use it.
So few of us get the chance to learn what you do, we rely upon you to use good judgement.

I love games but OMG! Must be a tester eh.

Ya know that brings up an interesting concept.
For all of the current endangered species......I'll use the blue whale and all the other whales as an example.
Hunted nearly to extinction....finally bringing themselves back.
