Argh. I still remember the thrill of firing up old Ultimas...Magic Candle...Lady Tut...they were some of the best games around and a lot of people don't mind spending time on even nowadays.
Actually, if you opens it up, the simplicity will simply amaze you. It's HACKABILITY that matters. The Apple II was infinitely and easily hackable. That alone keeps it going.
Actually, until the Sound Blaster AWE64 came along circa 1996, the 1986 Apple IIGS consistently outperformed the average $2000 PC in the sound/music department, how about that...
Fucking stop this argument already. There's nothing such as "real muscle cars don't lose to imports" and "real imports don't lose to american craps".
These only make sense if you talk about *BONE STOCK* cars. If the cars are tuned, ALL RACES WILL DEPEND ON THE MODS. The origin of the car doesn't matter anymore.
Is this simple concept so hard to grasp?
Arguments about how "comfortable" cars are also don't make sense. If you compare a '67 car with a 2002 of course the 2002 will win.
As far as I can see, the best 2003 Cadillac will match the Lexus, maybe not to the same level, but at least to the point that you can draw a comparo.
On average tho, RIGHT NOW, the average stock Corolla, Civic and Golf trash any Cavalier/Sunfire/American Focus. Been in them all.
The installer is fine. It would be better if it recognized convenience keys such as PGUP and PGDN.
What I REALLY want is, a way to upgrade from version n to version n+1 without reinstalling from scratch. It is saddening that no easy way to do it exists, while Debian users are just a "apt-get upgrade" away from a complete upgrade.
It might be sitting idle 99% of the time, but when you want it to do something, like, uh...parsing your HTML emails, you want it to do it fast. That's why we need 200 MHz CPU's. For the same reason, when you do 3D a GHz CPU would help. A lot.
Just realize what actually goes on behind the scene of "browsing, word processing, and emails". Sure, I can use WordStar 2.0, Lynx and Elm to get the same thing done. Would you get WYSIWYG? How about Interactive Flash game? Or viewing that MPEG attached to my email? How about all of them at the same time, multitasked?
I'm all for using extra CPU power for convenience. Isn't that what computers are made for, afterall?
Earth's rotation is also found to be affected by bad breaths created by the geeks of the North America. For example, during the dot-com boom, Earth's rotation was found to be slowed down by a fraction of a microsecond.
Apparently geeks from other parts of Earth did not contribute to the slowdown. Experts suggest that it might be related to the discrepancy of bad-breath/good-breath ratio among the populations.

Perverted File System? Good for pr0ns I guess!!
No offense here, it's just the first thing I had in mind. LOL

No, but you might have depression.
has being plain-text or not affect creativity?
Acetone = good call :)
One easy way to obtain acetone is from nail polish removers.
YEAH.
If you want to name a project after a car, at least choose a decent car like "Corvette", "Esprit" or "M5".
But Firebird? WTF!! Definitely tasteless!
>People are individuals, not averages.
If you know anything about Statistics, then Markov
and Chebychev tells us people don't stray too far from averages.
If you must pick the name of a car, at least pick something half decent, like "RX-7" or something. Firebird??? Bah.
Leak or no leak does not depend on 16 bit vs 32 bit. All you can say is "good software don't leak. buggy software leak". Nice try, though.
I guess all applications that use OpenGL will have its performance halved due to context switching on the graphics hardware...

Compiling a Quantum Computer program is NP-hard on problem size. DOH!!
> You know full damn well
This is the flaw of your argument. In the court of law, you cannot say "I know what you think" unless you ACTUALLY have provable psychic abilities.
> EVERYONE knows
I don't think this has a leg to stand on, either.
So, no download from me. Thanks.
Oh wait. Reading this article made me post. Never mind.

Incompetent sysadmins still are the weakest link.

Take a look at the World Health Organization South-East Asia web site:

They're running IIS 4.0. FOUR.POINT.ZERO.
The deface has been there for almost a day with apparently no fix yet
I think you're talking about "Smart women" instead of "Real women".
Not all real women are smart, but we're safe to assume the converse that all smart women are real.

Gosh, I thought I've forgotten about these stuff EONS ago
