20 hours is a long time:) Although it goes against that hacker-ish nature to want to make it work, after a few hours it's cheaper to just go buy another $20 nic than to muck around with it all day.
I ran into the same issues a couple of months ago with @home, Debian and a LinkSys nic. I needed a new nic immediately and picked up a LinkSys at CompUSA because it was cheap and claimed to support Linux. I installed the kernel modules, but the card would not work. I swapped it with an older version of the exact same card from a different box, and it worked flawlessly the first time.
As for @home, you need to send the client name they give you for the DHCP client (fortunately, Linux lets you set this in network settings and doesn't force you to name your computer something weird like Windows does). Also, pump didn't seem to work with the @home cable modem, but dhclient worked fine.
A friend and I did something similiar to all the computers in the computer lab while in high school. We placed each keyboard to the left of the computer to which it belonged, and the mouse to the right. The teacher got a bit upset, but it was worth it to see people going crazy trying to figure it out.
This is entirely false. The GB uses a CPU that is similiar to the z80. And it only has one. In fact, the Game Boy cannot display individual pixels without special programming. It can only display sprites (up to 40) and tilemaps (up to 256 tiles on the GB, 512 on the GBC).
You forgot the best z80 TI calculator of all: the TI-86:) You are not entirely correct about the calculators memory sizes. Note that all of the calcs have the OS stored in ROM, but the size is not mentioned since this is not changable (except on the two with Flash ROM):
The Game Boy uses a processor similiar to the z80, but it is not a true z80. It is missing all indexing instructions (IX/IY), 16 bit loads, port instructions (IN/OUT), shadow registers, and some other that I'm forgetting. The GB processor also executes instructions differently than the regular z80, making the timings completely different.
You can use either double quotes or angle brackets to specify a filename for the #include directive for the C/C++ preprocessor. Usually angle brackets are used for system includes (since it searches the include paths), and double quotes for user includes. In his case, he probably did mean double quotes.

Actually, C9 stands for RET (return) :)

What about those of us who's day jobs depend on writing HTML by hand?
