I really enjoyed what SlashDot did to their site and content:

Imagine a Gran Turismo oval track, in which one passes an endurance race of 200 laps, and where the usual logos emblazoned up and down the sides of track are no longer auto-related but rather sponsorship to the umpth the degree, dastardly and omnipresent... And these images, however fleeting...

Sounds good. I would hope that's a grill on the front for air intake or some manner of cooling?

Six years on a 486, two years on a PII (with a Riva TNT2 upgrade a year later), and finally a Barton rig about three years ago. My current Barton 3200+ is, I believe, in its second year. I plan to ride this one for quite some time.

Ha! His name's "Randy"...

B2 and HL2 ... overrated? How? I don't go along with the "I just don't care for it" approach. For instance, I can't really get into the quirky style and atmosphere of Katamari Damacy, though that doesn't deny its mass arcade appeal and accessible gameplay (the simplicity of which I must...

I thought all the memory talk sloshing about concerned the OS running at maximum visual levels. Rather like the "recommended specifications" one sees on game boxes/reviews. :shrug:

'eavens to Betsy! I thought I was agreeing with you right there! Casual atmosphere, MMOG's rather than direct FPS/RTS LAN competition, more in tune with a Wi-Fi providor than a multiplayer hotspot... qualities of an establishment where the LAN isn't the selling point.

Yes, at that point the store would essentially be treading into console territory; a few tv's, couple systems, the occasional Halo 2 tourney...

TechGage - Texas Tech

:D

Of course not -- at least not all of it. I thought all the Interweb had agreed upon rampant speculation and humor... :)

^ My topic here was an open question and not Texas-centric. My original question was concerned with the rise of technology in the home and if it may one day oust the very concept of a LAN center - not just ShadowLAN Gaming in Richardson, TX. Your first point latched onto that, and I'd be...

I'm suprised he held out so long before giving up the cash.

Rather like those little vials filled with acid in movies, which the villains carry with them and the acidic liquid eats through anything and everything except the container it's kept in. How would they even contain something that hot?

That's something amazing(ly dangerous, considering they know not the magic they performed), but I actually like the following exchange right beneath it: Summary is wrong yet again (Score:5, Informative) by Kasracer (865931) on Wednesday March 08, @08:50PM (#14880116)...

I want a keyboard which doesn't klickety-klackity when I type. I want a gentle, reassuring swishing sound, like a gurgling brook in spring time, as the snows melt. And I want the lighted keys to change ever-so-gradually in color to suit the exotic Zen flute which plays for me during my evening...

Now that would do me some good. While were discussing case features here, sbrehm, have you found any such "cub3d" case where the motherboard is allowed to rest comfortably and peaceably flat on the bottom and not perpendicular as tradition demands?

For what it's worth, I have yet to walk away from, say, the NES era.

What compounds that specific situation is the fact the Xbox Live service costs money. Replying to the topic, I'd agree that money on the line demands activity and attention. But the energy and involvement with gaming is not diminished with the stand alone purchases. I do not (and for now...
