The one other thing I want to ask you is what you currently use, right now at home, as your home PC.
I am using a Dell Precision 690, which is our high-end workstation. It's a two-socket system and it's got two dual-core Woodcrest (Xeon 5100 processors) in there. It's got a port with 64 (gigabytes) of memory, but I have only got 32 (gigabytes) in there.
Come on.
And I have got two of our 30-inch monitors, so it's 8.2 million pixels of resolution, which is kind of nice. And I have managed to get a fiber connection to my house, so I kind of dig into that speed on the Internet.
If the war is for who can make up the worst name. What stupid names, and not just AMD or Intel, Microsoft, Ubuntu, etc. Some execs with 8 year old daughters are naming these things. Why can't we get good names, like Project:Doom, or Omega Solution?
What? You want execs to name their products after their 14-year-old's rock band?
Yeah, I agree. When you first sit in one it is really comfortable, you're butt and your back feel great, but after about a half hour you can feel it cutting off the circulation to your knees.
I recommend putting one in a meeting room and requiring presenters to sit in it. It will keep meeting short.
1 Copy Super Smash Bros. Melee
1 Bigass Couch
4 Wavebirds
1 Gamecube
1 Decent-Sized Television
I'm not sure what other equipment anyone could EVER need.
Friends. You need friends. Something the typical slashdotter does not have.
letting your 4 year old watch the Texas Chainsaw Massacre? C'mon!
I remember when I was four I saw "Mars Attacks" I think I ran screaming from the theatre. I don't think you actually need to worry about your four-year-old wanting to watch the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
I agree with you entirely. The dreamcast controllers were truly great. I have very large hands and those little pussy dual shock and gamecube controllers make my fingrnails dig into my fists. The dreamcast xbox controllers are just so much more comfortable.
not any more.

And besides, it's a lot farther to Adelaide from Finland.
Godwin's Law! Discussion over.
Sounds like Plan 9.

It's not like they've been doing nothing since they started DNF in '97. They made both of the Max Payne games and Prey which are all decent games.
Steve Ballmer works for Microsoft, not Apple!
What nifty freebies will Mindawn be giving away to the lucky recipient of their billionth download?
A teleportation device and antigravity chamber all-in-one.
All this talk about revolution and nothing about this
Core memory? My grampa told me about that. He used it on the first ever framebuffer.
No, instead they have this.
Icons is G4TV's infomercials.
We have laws against murder - that is not working too well either. Shall we go ahead and repeal those as well?
Well, it might be a good idea to stop trying minors as adults in murder.
You realize that there is no chance that I am going to click a link debunking a myth that someones penis is too large.
On the flip side, the other day I was installing XP SP1 on my computer outside of a firewall and it was pwned before it finished downloading SP2.

It runs perfectly on linux under wine.
