I thought this article was going to promote the Sportster X2 over those Chinese Zoom v32bis modems!

Totally agree. Nearly unlimited players, and real-time combat in the dial-up days. It was a game changer for sure.

I'd have to reach further back for others: Wolf 3D for real FPS. There were others but Wolf set the standard.

Maybe early Zelda for OG stateful pre-internet RPG.

Does anybody post on Slashdot anymore? After I clicked, I was surprised the few number of comments.

I was about to throw out an arbitrary 'Eff Ed Sheeran' comment, but I realized I wasn't reading Reddit. lol

How are the rest of you old Slashdotters? Haven't checked in since we were setting up Novell Netware on NT... Or, is there a new, better Slashdot forum now?

Yeah before Crystal Palace declares DEFCON 1.

Words of wisdom, Lloyd. Words of wisdom.

So what? Ad engines on websites have been doing the same thing for years. Fix it the same way; just identify the domain names that the TV is radioing home to, and redirect those domains via DNS (OpenDNS makes this easy), to anywhere else where they'll just 404.

4 IR cams expandable to 8 with a 500 Gb DVR for $280. Not a bad deal short of putting your camcorder on a tripod and pointing it out the back door.

Isn't it ALL original content? (Minus the official music videos and movie trailers)

What makes 'official' original content; it's produced by Google? it's costs over n dollars to produce? it airs on basic cable after it's no longer popular on You Tube?

They wanted to see who would wine about it.
