Such nice memories! Like Sugar-Plum Faries Dancing in my head... I still remember with uncanny persistence many of the POKE/PEEK codes fot the later C64 on which I debuted. POKE 53280,1 POKE 53281,0 Anyone remember the days when you would spend ALL DAY typing in 400 Trillion lines of Cryptic numbers from RUN magazine, just to see what it did, and then cringe in dismay when the power went out during the 30 minute Tape Save time? or when your favorite game tape was eaten somewhere in the 50 minute load time when you were off TRYING to be patient!?
I will have to agree with this also... I have had to use ArcServe on several Netware 5 servers, and the software wasn't much good on that platform either. Login problems occured often, incomplete backups for no apparent reason, and sometimes it would just outright freeze the machines every time it was loaded...
Here's something cool to do -- I'm sure most of you saw this link earlier, but just in case here it is again Buy the T-Shirt It's an awesome shirt, it comes with the full source, and 4$ go to EFF
I remember seeing somewhere recently (It may have been on one of those cheesy talk shows, but I am not sure) that people have been quoted as saying "I no longer need drugs - I have the internet" Of course they were refering to sex sites and other highly addictive habits such as online chatting/romance etc...
Just wondering... If it was conclusive that porn was addictive (And I believe all though I have no physical proof that most studies would tend to agree that it is) Wouldn't it make it the Internet Provider's moral obligation to do what he could to prevent his users from being addicted to things they couldn't control?
Maybe not, but it is at least an interesting question. Anyways, I am personally of the opinion that the school/state is supplying the internet, so they have the right to strip whatever they please out of it. If the college students were buying the access themselves, I think it would be a different issue.
1)hmmm... A giant database with everyone in the worlds address in it sounds interesting.
2)If the Post Office quits, a)who will we blame our brothers and sisters(who can't be totally related to us ) be called -- The Postman's Son won't cut it anymore b)what will our poor dog do with out the postman to fill his evening with excitement? c)what will become to the term Postal? 3)....
In all seriousness, this sounds like we are just making excuses to have low tech jobs.... Do we need that? Are we going to pay someone to hand deliver a message that could just as easily be delivered electronically? In the near future, are we going to pay people to hand us fast food when a machine could dispense it just as easily? Perhaps, what we need is to redirect our efforts. Instead of wasting money to pay people to do what a machine can do, we should pay to have people learn how to use the machines. (Of course we know that all or even most people do not have what it takes to control machines (Minus the small percentage represented by us), and no amount of schooling will change that.) It is an interesting question though, and one I think that will affect us even more in the future. What comes first? People or technology?
We have seen problems with the FIC boards and Athlons > 600Mhz... They draw a lot of current apparently, we had a board that would not even power up without a 300W power supply.

Mindless drones don't like people who are different. People who like to control mindless drones certainly don't want any fish swimming upstream. And perhaps you (not you personally, but all of us who think) are not so immune as you might think.. Mind Control and Indoctrination is a science. Why would it affect us any differently than anyone else? Check out The Ad And the Ego
