Yes. That is the thing that Amiga enthusiasts can never seem to figure out. Custom chipsets don't 'scale up' during Megahertz Wars, which is what that era of personal computing ended up being all about.
Also, it's kind of dismaying that so many people rant about the merits of a single-sourced machine made up out of very very closed hardware. The original PC-AT was made almost entirely with off-the-shelf Intel chips, and even early '386 motherboards from some suppliers were made that way. Compare that to plastic-cased closed-hardware boxes and for some reason people get all frothy about the closed boxes... Just doesn't make sense.
1. Find an old project for an AM Radio Transmitter. They are out there, you can probably even build one simply by using one of those 20-In-One kits they sell at Radio Shack.
2. Plug the output from your DVD player into the AM Radio Transmitter.
3. Find the cheapest AM Table Radio you can find.
4. Listen to the sound for your film through it.
Extra points if you find and restore one of those venerable old wooden cabinet radios from the era before Television.
Traditionally, escalation of punishment is left to the discretion of the sentencing body (the Judge.) Why do new laws have be spun up to replace the discretion of the Judge?
Back in about 1980 I went to a big-arena rock concert and there were security at the doors. I had brought with me one or two small joints in a small plastic case.
One of the guards made me open it up to show what was in it. Then they let me through the gate, without confiscating anything.
Things were much more casual back then. The amount I had was a petty misdemeanor at the time, and they were probably checking for something else.
The part many people like you are not understanding is that within a century or two, the landfills will all be stripped and their contents re-used. Landfill land right now is low-value, but eventually we'll have our act together enough that there will be 'valuable' landfills from before all the recycling crap, with plastic and copper and aluminum, and the 'shit' landfills with the automotive parts made out of pressed corn-starch. They may curse the fucks who came out with 'biodegradable' and facilitated more/most of the oil being burned and not stored in landfills.
Also, the 'save a tree' meme is garbage. The way to increase the number of trees growing is to use more paper and wood products. Trees are a renewable resource and land doesn't get planted with trees unless their wood is being harvested and utilized. It will be wasted for something else.
You can track down an English edition of Stalin's Collected Works if you look hard enough. I built mine up from single volumes I found here and there. It was published in about 1953.
It's a fairly uncommon thing to have in your library, and can be interesting reading if you like reading between the lines.
It will remain the most current printed version. But Encyclopedia Britannica isn't shutting down. You'd be better off using the big bucks to buy a long-term subscription to their online service. Get a good used copy of the print edition if you want to have one in a bookcase. Mine is still less than 20 years old and I think I paid about $10 for it.
I bought an app for my iPod touch that is an 'offline' version of Wikipedia. I don't fancy paying $50+ a month since I hardly ever call anybody on the phone, so I don't carry an 'online' anything in my pocket for every day.
I find it somewhat useful as a quick reference, but one of the things I sometimes do when I'm bored and have a few minutes to waste is use the 'random article' button on the app.
There are far, far too many instances where what it pulls up is an individual Album Title for a contemporary rawk band I have never heard of, or arcana about some form of Anime. Based on my random sampling, at least 20% of the thing is that kind of stuff. Trivia that doesn't matter to anybody but the kind of geeks who hang out online.
Actually, Encyclopedia Britannica hasn't ceased to exist. It just isn't 'free to access' like the Wikipedia. It continues to be available as a resource, and continues to be maintained and updated.
Also, it's a country that has had thousands of rockets shot at it's cities, but didn't unleash it's nuclear weapons in retaliation. And it's also a country with many non-Jewish voting citizens as part of it's democratic process.
Wow, it seems the usual pack of Apple astroturfers with mod points is around tonight.
You are on apple.slashdot.org, not the regular slashdot.org. It was really a shame when they created the new subdomain. It somewhat contains the astroturfing, but it also encourages it.
Slashdot Mirror
not too shabby, eh?
Possibly. But you can get a pretty nice wintel laptop for $800 and still have the old mbp to kick around.
The Amiga was defined by it's custom chipset.

This tedious crap has happened over and over, since -94.
It happened a lot long before then. Any time somebody started ranting about the Amiga, back in the day....
Ok. So Linux will get the people who sit in chat rooms and watch porn.
Windows will get the people who create spreadsheets and presentations.
Anybody see the problem with this?
The term was used in a relative sense. Shorthand for:
"Of the two who made the assertion, Neal Young was the first."
I think I have the solution for you.
1. Find an old project for an AM Radio Transmitter. They are out there, you can probably even build one simply by using one of those 20-In-One kits they sell at Radio Shack.

Just quit being cheap and upgrade to a full 6802.

Guy wants to present his story as The Truth(tm).
The technical term for that is Propaganda.
The shame is that more people don't figure out where these dogs are kenneled and blast the area with a thick cloud of anhydrous ammonia.
Whoops, that fuckin' dog don't smell nothin' no more.

True, but the Apple addicts are more dangerous to confront.

I bought a set at a garage sale about a decade ago. It's nice to have. But it does take up a lot of space.
Okay, okay. We've figured out where you are on this one.
FarmVille. The astronauts in 2001 would have been playing FarmVille.
The sad thing is that anybody would negotigate any point with Big Ears that will fall after the election. Mr. Mulatto is not going to be elected.
Next time you'd better vote for Gus Hall, then.
