6/30    Hey, this is it!  One of my first memories is of this game on the
        TI 99/4A! I've been trying to figure out what game this was forever.

        \_ Was it really necessary to post a pretty-girl link in reference to
           a game?
           \_ Obviusly, someone changed this link.  Fixed.

3/21    I'm trying to remember the name of an arcade game they used to
        have in the UC arcade, I was hoping someone else might
        recognize/remember it.  It looked a little bit like defender,
        but had much more updated graphics - you could choose which
        planets to fly to (the planets varied significantly), where
        you had to save colonists from aliens, and collect weapons?

5/26    Is it possible to create an image file from 5.25" or 3.5" drive?
        I'd like to create images of all of my 80s/90s diskettes, with
        games like Star Control II, King's Quest, etc and see if they
        play on VMWare or some emulator.

12/21   What are some core differences between a simulator, an emulator, and
        a virtual machine?
        \_ Simulator:  Model the whole thing by itself; collect results.
           Emulator:  Model one part; hook it up to something else.
             Or, run one OS on another OS.
           Virtual machine:  A computer inside a computer.

12/6    Are you too old for a GameBoy?
        \_ Yes.  The LCD display is too hard to see for my eyes.
        \_ No, but too old for a lot of its games. -24
           \_ what kind of games (besides Mario bros type of games?)
        \_ Advance Wars rules.  -tom
           \_ Tom, you and I had our differences in the past, but if you

10/1    Though I'm likely the last Mac-oriented CSUA member to upgrade my
        OS, I gotta say that invoking ssh from the UNIX innards of my
        iBook is wonderful/weird. -elizp
        \_ Hey buddy, try invoking your terminal to 80 columns.
        \_ Ain't it cool, though?  It still gives me shivers.  Now go install
           Quicksilver and let's really get this party started.

5/7     So Redhat has this enterprise line that costs big bux. Anyone seen
        this: http://whiteboxlinux.org
        Seems to have all advantages with no cost, except the vague uneasiness
        of not being "real" red hat. Are real enterprises using clones?
        \_ Linux is linux. The kernel is exactly the same. You are paying
           for support for RHE, not the software.

12/2    If anyone wants to see a video of some guy beating mario bros 3 in
        ~11 minutes, look at /csua/tmp/mariobros3.wmv (~18 MB).
        \_ out of curiosity, why is that interesting/impressive?
           \_ what, is that too slow for you? maybe i'm just easily impressed.
              \_ No, specifically, what about it is impressive?  Did he find
                 a shortcut through, and then memorize the moves?  Or is that

8/11    Mac OS X users:  is there such thing as an "emulation mode" in OS X?
        90% of the apps I use have Mac OS X versions.  But what's keeping me
        from pulling the trigger and buying an PowerBook is that 10%.  I have
        some legacy windows app that doesn't have OS X version.  I'm wondering
        if there is emulation software and how reliable is it?  Thanks.
        \_ are you talking MS Windows or os9?  There are both.  The

5/10    What's the difference between a simulator and an emulator?
        \_ Emulation is along the lines of "perform all the same actions as"
           while simulation is "a system or enviornment where conditions are
           the same." The distinction is highly contextual.  And as you give
           absolutely no context, your question is pretty unanswerable.
              \_ no, it doesn't.
