Is the istation still in existance? I remember in 1994 filling out a form and getting a icard that I could use to preview CD's, but the record store closed up and I haven't seen any of those iStations in at least 5 years. I'd rather use the cd-changers that the stores set up anyway, a lot easier than going through a kiosk.
I was just about to ask whatever happened to bubble memory. It was supposed to be the big thing, they even made good use of it on a Doctor Who episode(Logopolis) once.
Every nerd I know can quote South Park ad naseaum.
I think there's a difference between the old school nerds and the new school nerds. The old school quotes Monty Python, the new school nerds quote Austin Powers and South Park.
My question is why are.edu domains blocked in the first place? I'm not familiar with censorware but I assumed that they primarily blocked.com's with the occasional.net and.org. I never heard of a.edu carrying offensive material, not even http://www.beaver.edu
I thought (yes, naively) that censorware is only supposed to block commercial porn sites.
I think the imac design is 'pretty' and artistic, but Steve Jobs can stop patting himself on the back for it. He took a risk that people would like it and buy it and it paid off, he was lucky.
I remember in the early 90's Crutchfield was selling PC's in both the usual beige, and in BLACK. They were the same black as stereo components and looked pretty hot IMHO. But I don't think the idea caught with anyone else, because I didn't see the idea spread.
In the 80's Yamaha sold their receivers in both silver and black for the same price, you could take your pic. But everyone bought black and noone wanted silver. After that they only sell black now.
I'm more concerned with what's inside a computer than how it looks. I stare at a monitor all day, not a case.
I don't know where you people get the impression that there's anger on behalf of the author of that article. There wasn't any anger in it whatsoever. He calmly stated the facts. The more I look at it, the more it seems obvious that Linux is a cult. Linux is not perfect, and I wish you people would understand that. You are spin doctoring it more than MS spin doctors its windows platform. You realize that don't you?
I'm using Windows 2000 and IE 5 right now. No problems whatsoever. I just installed linux on a computer at work. It wouldn't recognize the cd-rom so I had to do an ftp install. Took up 375 megs. It boots up but its so slow, its hardly usable. I "only" have 32 megs of RAM with PII 266mhz. What was that you all keep saying about bloatware, buggy code, and resource hogs?
This is just like in the mid-late 80's when everyone wanted to get Beatles albums on compact disc but Capital Records was holding out on the release. In 1987 there was a big media hype about the 20 year anniversary of the summer of love, and that's when they started releasing the later beatles records on disc.
We all want to see Star Wars on DVD, and of course we all want it to be a good transfer, but I don't buy George Lucas explanation. He isn't a Zen master who must wave his hands over the equipment to give a good transfer. If they can make truely excellent DVD transfers of other movies they can do the same thing with Star Wars.

Now were can I find pics of hot geek guy's with massive cocks?
No, if Barbarella used this chip, they would call it "Duron Duron"!
