I recently began playing (and, in some cases, re-playing) many of the old text-only games from Infocom. I'm reminded of what a rich gaming experience many of these companies were able to provide in such limited computing environments. Quite honestly, some of today's major "blockbusters" can't hold a candle to some of computing's earliest computer games (you could probably say the same about Atari & Intellivision vs. certain PlayStation and Xbox games).
Seriously...I remember the thrill of buying a 16K RAM card so I could play the original Castle Wolfenstien on my Apple ][+.
OK, can one of you physics geeks explain to me why x-rays are able to escape the gravitational clutches of a black hole when light cannot? I've never understood this.
Bah. Guitars are dead. The next generation will all be listening to percussive strings played on the Chapman Stick (http://www.stick.com./
(OK, of course I'm posting hyperbole but check it out...it's quite a cool instrument).
I didn't learn anything new about TiVo/Linux/commodity hardware than I already knew from frequenting the TiVo forums at http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/, except to maybe prove the point that anybody who is proud of having over a dozen webservers in their home probably doesn't have much of a social life.
The problem with that idea is that simply presenting a page on first use on how to configure WEP or WPA doesn't actually mean that people will be smart enough to then configure both the AP and client(s) with encryption. I usually use the grandma test, as in "could my grandma do it?"
Anyway, what's really needed in future versions of the WiFi spec is "zero-configuration strong encryption."
Perhaps that's because he knows that Obi-Wan doesn't die in this movie!
I'm going, but so is my staff

Star Wars Sickout

· Score: 5, Interesting
Not only am I going to Star Wars next week, I'm planning on taking my staff as well. So I guess I'll be the one responsible for the loss of productivity in my own area.
Oh well, c'est la vie.
More attention whoring gone bad. "Tiger" has been bandied around in the press for months now. Could it be that Tiger Direct is simply looking for a quick payout on the eve of Apple's launch? Or some free publicity for where to purchase OS X Tiger?
Perhaps somebody should file a lawsuit on behalf of the entire bengal population.

The purpose of my post was to point out the stupidity of the OP in advocating microchipping a selective class of people.
You mean, like Tim McVeigh?
Well, who woulda thought...it figures.
...that once you throw out that old PC, remember to replace it with a Macintosh. Problem solved.

Maybe he was using Hotline.

Wow, no kidding. I commit this crime every time I go over to my girlfriend's apartment! Better get me a lawyer.
No shit. Mod this fucker up!
Batman is a fucking fictional character. EOT.
The irony of your post is that Bungie was originally a Mac-only developer.
I am so stoned!!!
Sure, more popcorn for me!
