I know you're just joking, but incase anyone is reading this, the 50MHZ Figure is actually a little off. AmigaOS4.x was released a couple years ago for G4 running 1ghz plus.
x86 variant of AmigaOS runs well, on x86 so multi GHZ.
A lot of people though run emulation with JIT on x86 and it runs roughly equivalent to a 1.5GHZ 680x0 chip.
AmigaOS 4.1 was just recently released for the SAM PPC board.
Watch COPS sometime. People get man handled & 'beat down' while they are following all the commands the police are giving.
And don't get me wrong, I am not against "the police", I have a family and thank god for the Police men/women that brave the streets everyday..... but you have to admit when they pull up to someguy on the street and grab him and force against their cruiser before he says or does anything, well, lets just say it would be fun to see it just one time to one the corporate guys that 'actually' destroy hundreds of peoples lives.
I sure do. Back then, it was PERSONAL computing, not NETWORK computing.
Yeah, it's nice having a "personal" computer still in this day an age. By that I mean, I can do stuff on my computer and not worry it's being sent all over the internet by Microsoft or some piece of spyware that keeps me internet connection light down by my Windows clock blinking constantly.
On my Amiga I can still convert a CD to MP3s and upload them with little worry of anyboady cathing me( at least if I'm connected to my neighbors wireless!) Oops, probably a bad thread for this I might get arrested! Uh, just kidding, I don't even on a CD-ROM drive!
You're so right. A kid uploads a CD and should go to prison, but on a daily basis around here the jails are so full they release criminals constantly. They have some sort of computer program that tries to determine the "least bad" crimes and criminals and let those ones out first.
People here in our county know for most crimes they will "maybe" spend a single night in jail for anything other then murder before they are let go the next day.
It's a joke around here when litterally there is no room for rapists, drunk drivers, and other 'violent' criminals in jail, but some one uploads some MP3s and OH MY GOD, get him.. Give me freakin' break.
It's like they talked about on that movie, on COPS (tv show) they'll have 3 cops chasing a guy down the street and beat him to the ground because he just stole $85. But some corporate criminal that steals $85,000,000.00 and well they treat him with kid gloves.
Well, I'm just a couple years younger than you, but I think satalite images are great.
I have kids that play soccer and baseball and we're always going to different school to play games. I use google maps to get directions and then click the satalite view to get an idea of where their fields are located.
Am I a bad person for doing this?
>>It used to be that this was a given, since before the media companies forced their will upon the rest of us, games were treated like any other merchandise.
Back in the day, there were places in town that 'rented' PC software much like a video store. Can you imagine a software rental store these days? Yeah right.
I mean if I want to search for a David Hasselhoff torrent I go to Google and do a search.
First, there are like a thousand sites for Hoff's music... I'll list a few other than TPB... www.torrentreactor.net, www.torrentz.com, www.btmon.com, isohunt.com, extratorrent.com, torrents.ru and those are just on the FIRST page!! So what if they take down the TPB?? There aren't more places "waiting" to fill they're space... the places are already there.
Second, so should they go after Google for helping me find pirated music??? If I want to look for torrents, guess where I'd start?? Google!!
Third, has anyone HEARD David Hasselhoff's "Jump In My Car" ??? There is a reason why people don't want to pay money for crap like this.
This is the new socket AM3 board I believe and has DDR3 ram slots.
So it looks to me like if you were building a new system, AM3 is already out and not really much more expensive to build a system with 4GB DDR3 w/ Phenom II.
Exactly. 4GB of DDR3 on NewEgg right now it $99 (2-2GB sticks)
Asus M4A79T DELUXE Socket AM3/ AMD 790FX/ Quad CrossFireX Motherboard is $219. So you can probably find a 'cheaper' AM2 board, but that's not a huge premium.
AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0GHz Black Edition Quad-core is about $225. So versus the 'old' Phenom 9950 which is about $160 that's not bad either.
Still better than buying a prebuilt from BestBuy...
How about the talk box? Similar effect to a vocoder. The musical instrument you have hooked up gives you perfect pitch.
Alvino Rey used it as early as 1939, of course Peter Frampton with a guitar, and the great Roger Troutman of Zapp and Roger fame, younger generation might recognise his 'Enhanced' voice on 2Pac's California Love. Oh and Stevie Wonder used it too.
I had this problem with my 266mhz PII recently with Windows 95. I took it to GeekSquad and they recommended:
Ram Upgrade
New HD
Install Windows XP
New Graphics card
New 7.1 surround sound audio card
New Speakers so I can hear the 7.1 surround sound
New PSU because they said the graphics card needs a lot of Watts!
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
Virus Protection software install
Spyware Protection software install
Firewall install
Online Automated Data Backup service
Data Transfer to transfer my old files to the new HD they sold me
>>All you need with a federated service like identi.ca is a small percentage of the participants to host a server. and those people just need a hosting account they can get out of their disposable income.
So my choices are pay money and host a server or see a little AD to have some other company do all the work for me?
I think it's easier for me to have a little AD on the side of the page when I log into Twitter. Easier and free.

Some people need a reality check.
But is it going to work at Room Temperature?

I wonder if they spent the extra $29 and had GeekSquad do a "New Computer" tune up?

Yes, but did you hold to the "right" mouse button to copy and paste or did you use the 'Apple' control key?!?

>>All I remember the Amiga sacrificing was resolution (in that it didn't have much color depth available for most purposes, "back in the day".)
;-)
I don't know, but I remember that it was "good enough" for porn...you know, back in the day.

I guess the question is can Cher sue over this technology?
