Yeah, yeah- I know it looks like I just installed Windows XP on a cheap PC. That's the beauty of it. It's *perfect* emulation. You simply cannot tell it's an emulator. Even the install disk looks *exactly* like a Windows install disc. Gimme money!
I've modified your code. It was open source, right?

Let's see, I said our energy needs are growing very quickly, people mindlessly vote the Party line, extremist theologies threaten the peace at every turn and our educational system is in the hands of incompentents with agendas.
Yeah, that's a real pack of radical and bizarre ramblings.
"OMFG some kid is poor* we can't spend this money on science until after every other problem on earth is solved!!!"
That's the one that causes me to have the blood pressure of a morbidly obese chain smoker. Some day people are going to wake up and realize that, well, we are NOT going to solve all the problems here on Earth. Ever. We'll be lucky to solve half. We can't solve problems when society refuses to recognize the true causes, which in many cases is "people are stoooopid." We need to focus on the big ones like energy, somehow eradicating the memes that make people vote for monsters or fly planes into buildings and getting the educational system out of the hands of the ideologues, be they on the Left (feed good education) or the Right (anti-science).
Anyway, it looks like the private space sector might actually be showing some life, so f*ck NASA. I'm updating my resume to send out to Rutan's company and maybe a couple others. I'm going to be there, baby!
Stuff like this seems so trivial. Seems like a good racket if you can get into it, but... I dunno. It's just seems... stupid. It just expands the list of Things People Get Paid To Do Strictly Because We Have A Dippy Culture. It's like there's too many people and we're just making up jobs to employ them.
You can trust my wise ponderings on this. I'm on the Internets.
I just like how they show nearly constant game footage during the review. So few others do that.
And I like the kittens.:)
I guess you have to watch the show a lot because there's a lot of running gags and inside jokes. And people don;t understand that both Sessler and Webb and playing parts.
Xplay is redundant, since G4 already had a game review show, and everyone hates Adam Sessler because, although he is just as whiny and sarcastic as Webb, he lacks the cleavage to hold the viewers attention and make them forget about how whiny and sarcastic they are.
So are you an angry Dragonball Z fan or a disgruntled Fullmetal Alchemist fan?
You can't possibly be from California. What the state legislature has done here over the past few years can only be described as malevolent. We were finally forced to a recall election and using (and in some cases abusing) the initiative process just to have any hope of getting anything rational done.
There's no need to get snippy. When someone says they are playing devil's advocate, there is an implication they don't necessarily fully disagree with the position they are challenging. I wuv broadband. It's just that some of the dire proclimations around here get a little silly.
Telecommuting is a very good example. Personally, I hope to see the eventual decentralization of society again, and get away from the whole idea of urban centers.
I like how I got modded troll for asking honest questions. Typical Slashdot.:( Though shalt not question progress for progress' sake.
You mention some good examples, but they still strike me as fluff, the icing on the cake of society so to speak. If those things came in 2010 instead of 2008, are we, as a society, really going to suffer greatly? I mean, some of the posters here are acting like we're going to turn into a thrid world nation if we don't get a gigabit fiber pipe out to Joe Baloney in Backwater, Alabama by next week.
Other posted talk about high def TeeVee and other "content delivery" uses. But that's entertainment. That's still, fundamentally, fluff. It's fluff many enjoy (myself included) but it does not fill me with angst that I don't have HDTV coming through my cable modem right here right now.
I dunno... maybe it's good just for creating some sort of tech jobs that cannot be oputsourced.
But telephones were a *revolutionary* development. There had really been nothing like it before.
That's different than some mad drive to increase the rate at which we are boosting the pipelines in an existing infrastructure. Some people here seem to be calling for the investment of public funds to turn it into a vital utility. Is it *that* vital?
Canada also has a lower *population*, period. And it tends to cluster down at the bottom.;-)
Is fat code really a problem? I code by hand, but I've played with the big shiny editors. They generated big code, but when you looked at a typical page's stats, the graphics would outweigh the coding for most pages.
I always wondered if W3C or someone could release a set of "standard" CSS files, and people could code to that standard set which would be on the user's machine.

In other news, Goodyear reinvents the wheel.

I can definitely say I have never had that thought.
That must have been some earthquake! I guess Katrina news overshadowed it.

Visicalc evolved into... Excel... which really is just the same thing with some flashy icing, innovation died in spreadsheets when MS took over.
Excel is like dinosaurs in fancy chicken costumes.
Actually, Katamari (one of my top 5 all time favorite games) sold well enough at $20 to get the sequel published in the USA.
Sheesh! You kids these days. Did you learn nothing from SimCity?
And with VAT and all the other taxes, it'll be about $900. :D
Some of the new prog rock out of EU will be, like, 10 cents a track. Woo hoo!
And I like the kittens. :)

You got that right, cowboy. :)
That's not a good idea.
No, but the bad ideas tend to be more interesting. :-D
Wow, don't give them ideas. They love the death penalty there in Texas. Do the math on that one.
But then again can they "do the math" in Texas. Tee hee. Hey, I tease Texas. :)

Yes, but with the sheets installed locally so they don't have to be downloaded.
