So much for jumping to conclusions. http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/10/19/neighbor...d.ap/index.html

Must've used all the sharks as target practice...

You two, get a room! Oh wait, you did...

Yeah, you could get a modem and plug it into the back left of the machine, then plug the phone line in there. I don't remember the name of the software I used to dial though... I was pretty big into the local BBS scene and me and a friend even tried making our own. It was pretty cool designing it. My nick was Nighthawk back then, and I ran "Nighthawk's Nest" (they all had corny names back then ). Never really went anywhere though - my parents wouldn't let me tie up the phone all the time You used to be able to download all sorts of cool games (illegally...) off the BBS back then. In order to get the "good stuff," you had to be known because nobody wanted to get shutdown/arrested/sued/etc for distributing copyrighted programs. Sound familiar? CW

"when the processors were so slow" Back in the day, nobody thought about processors. I connected my Commodore 64 up to the net back in the day. 300 baud modem and a fancy terminal program to give me 80 characters across instead of the standard 40. Life was good. CW

But it's on HD-DVD....

No, I'm being serious. It was a very cool flick.

Oh, I remember that movie. The one with her in the apartment, right? That movie was great

Is there a backstory here...?

Really? So you can hear everything your coworkers do online? That's weird to me, as everyone who listens to music where I have worked has used headphones. I actually go one step further and have mondo headphones to block out the world http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-280-Dy...9872729?ie=UTF8 CW

It's safe as long as you have headphones. None of the video is bad.

Funny, you're the only one bringing politics into this humorous discussion.

It's the stingray terrorist camps. We need to destroy all the stingrays to protect our borders!

You need to post links. I had no idea what you were talking about http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/18/football.threats/index.html Cw

Where's AJ?

"I think that about covers it, unless my client can bring up article 20." "Not in your wildest dreams." "I had to ask." That was good. CW

These things always remind me of this great video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFLyO7I3-nQ It's probably a good thing I don't have kids.

In other news, the government has decided that this video game needs to be banned.

But it'll be in HD!

Last week I read that the game will be in HD -- so I'm assuming it'll be on the "cool" channel CW

That movie went through my mind more than once.

The video about the Internet from 1993 made me wonder how many of you guys http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=53600 Personally, I've been online since ~'89. I had a friend of a friend who went to the University of Buffalo and had a VAX/VMS account he knew nothing about. I talked him into giving me access. Back then, you could telnet to all sorts of cool sites, including military ones. I remember connecting to one that said something like, "This is owned by the United States Army. Any unlawful attempts will result in severe prison time" (or something like that). I disconnected quickly and was worried that "they'd find me." (I was just telneting to random IP addresses - I don't recall the exact message, but it was definately something with the military) Fun stuff! CW

No kidding. Same story, different QB.
