For most people there is nothing to hold you back from running 64-bit Linux.
Except madwifi-ng drivers. I can't even count how many times people have bugged me about their Atheros cards not working in Linux, only to find that they were running a 64-bit distro.
He didn't say viable, he said reliable. There's a big difference. If they can't be produced reliably, why would they waste their time mass producing them.
When I was in fifth grade I lived near Vandenberg Air Force Base, where they would regularly test rockets and missiles. One of the groundskeepers pointed out a Peacekeeper (informing us of the name in the process). Even then, I wondered to myself: How are missiles designed to keep the peace?
I'd pay $100 for a revamped version of FFVII, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I've spent hundreds of hours on the game, and would most certianly do it all again.
For $500, it'd better have an integrated toilet. If you're writing for hours at a time, you won't want to be bothered with bodily functions. Auto-flush capabilities would be a plus, because you don't want to stop hacking to tame the smell that would destract from, well, hacking. Hire a nurse, too, so she can feed you Bawls intravenously so you can work FOREVER.

I had a conversation about this with my friend about this just last night.
We need to be able to know what our government is doing at any given time. Our government does not have (IMO) a right to privacy of any sort. The government works for us; we don't work for them. (I'm speaking of the US, for all you other/.ers out there.)
IF YOU HAVE A STRONG STANCE ON ABORTION, BE WARNED: UMPOPULAR VIEWPOINT AHEAD
Unfortunately, nobody cares that congress passes unconstitutional laws daily. It is not in congress's list of powers to make laws regarding, for example, abortion. It has thirteen powers. It can only make laws regarding those issues. BECAUSE ABORTION IS NOT ONE OF THOSE ISSUES, IT CANNOT LEGISLATE FOR OR AGAINST IT, THUS MAKING IT LEGAL. Abortion is a terrible thing, but if the government REALLY wanted to do something about it, they would make an ammendment and end this thing. I personally don't know where I stand on abortion; it's a truly terrible thing, but OTOH, I'm not going to force my ideals on anybody else.
A citizens, we need to get our government to open up (AND BE ACTIVE IN OUR GOVERNMENT, EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT ELECTION DAY!) and open up our knowledge to the world. Personal information (PINs, SSNs, Credit Card Numbers, etc.) should be kept private and be respected, but all other information should be readily shared. Human beings as a whole could benefiet from this sort of sharing.
It's not that simple, though. Microsoft isn't liable for peoples' lost property, time, financial status, jobs, etc, but car companies have always been liable for defects. Is a vulnerability a defect? Is it the infector's fault if they inadvertently infect the vehicle? And furthermore, what kind of true hacker would put people's LIVES in harm's way. That's just sick.
As far as car anti-viral solutions, opening up the car to third party software like that would only make the problem worse; allowing third party apps that can control other systems is only ADVANCING the threat of viruses.
This is all fucking stupid. If I wanted to see naked people, I'd download some porn. I don't have the desire to watch pixels porking each other. It takes a lot more know-how to mod a game or install a patch than it does to get on Kazaa and download some hardcore stuff.
If this kid would mod his PS2 to watch the Hot Coffee game, I'd say he already has a couple gigs of porn on his computer. Who's gonna get sued for that?
I'm a Computer Engineering student, and I'd be interested in this box you want to donate. I'll pay shipping (I live in Southern California). Shoot me an email.
"Your new Dell PC does not require a recovery disc. To re-install, call 1-800-BAD-SUPRT, select option 4, then 7, then 2, wait 63 minutes on hold, get transferred to the department you were trying to reach in the first place, then spend another hour-and-a-half being walked through on how to restore the operating system from the hidden partition."
Yeah... It's easy... It's easy for us, but for Joe? Too much of a hassle. Remember, Joe doesn't know about Spybot and AdAware, either.
As for Linux... does anybody who isn't on the development team for Gentoo know how to install it? I've seen some pretty slick GUI installs for Linux, but Gentoo is ASS BACKWARDS. Pretty much kept me on Windows for the next 6 months, until I work up the courage to try and switch... again.
...but damn is downloading at 28.8kbps a pain. Ouch.

If they aren't innovating, and they're trying to get into the Japanese market (the most innovative game market in the industry), only one of two things can happen:
1) They fail miserably and start re-thinking the way they make games or
2) They start re-thinking the way they make games, and they succeed.
Either way, they're going to start having to make high-quality and innovative games sometime soon.
It was meant as a joke; everybody's using "crashing the train" and "crashing the server" interchangeably. It's funny, because you can crash a train, and you can crash a server...

True story.

Middle click on the tab you want to close. Done.
That's all.
And yes, Cell runs Linux.
... I said that as a joke, but to be sure it hadn't been done, I googled it. I was wrong.
First thing I thought of when I read it was "Duh."
I run Linux on my toaster.
If the guy was really worth something to society, he wouldn't be wasting his life playing video games. End of story. I agree, Psavo.
but I'd pay to watch her if she... somehow couldn't speak.

Oh, nevermind.
... You know that was just a movie, right?
Does ANYTHING go where NASA wants it to?
I'm thinking it would be quite a trick to put even a Shuttle PSU in there and keeping it happy with the little power the tracks provide.
How would you crash a train? Isn't it on rails?
