Virgins are generally unskilled.... duh!
And kill them when they put them into dangerous situations. See my comment re: safety regulations and getting low wage workers killed on the job. Corporations do not even see them, and probably us, as human.
He has ties to the Saudis and the 'war on terror' has been described as a civil was inside the Saudi ruling class.
mmmm... ot to different that any corporation that hires untrained people and puts them into deadly situations with poor safety. Such as coal mining, oil field work, handling agricultural chemicals, chemical refineries, etc. One does it for Allah, the other does it for profit.
What person is so sadistic that they would play C&C or Warcraft on a PS1?
/me raises hand.
Well, not Warcraft, I don't own it, but I do own Red Alert, RA: Retaliation, and Dune 2000. I also had the PSone mouse.
My memory may be failing me, but I do believe one of those games could do multiplayer via system link...
Your memory is correct I know that RA and RA: Retaliation can do system link as well as DOOM. You only need 1 copy of the game for RA since one person can use the Allied disc and the other can use Soviet for system-link skirmishes.

but who seriously owned one of those cables?
/me raises hand again. I still have it, though I don't have a working PSone to use it with.
I was hoping the PS3 would include a feature to "tunnel" PSone system link games over the internet similar to how you can use "ad-hoc party" to tunnel ad-hoc only PSP games, but it doesn't. It also doesn't have a "have a USB mouse emulate the old PSone mouse" feature either.
whereas the main point was all the commercial software -- which was entirely my point. Stuff we need doesn't run on Linux, and it probably never will
Depends on what your needs are and what software you use.
Windows ran all of the software people needed *and* also games as a bonus (without having to buy an expensive console on top of that).
Expensive console? That's a rather funny statement considering some of those "PC Master Race" types refer to console gamers as "welfare gamers"
Nor did it play any of the hugely popular games like Doom, Duke Nukem, Mortal Kombat, SimCity 2000, Command and Conquer, Warcraft, Need For Speed and countless others, so it wasn't good for gaming either.
But you didn't need Windows for those games. EVERY one of the games you listed is also available on the PSone.
The sad thing is that Linux still has the same problem today. All commercial software and games are missing, which is entirely what you use the computer for...
Not everyone plays games on their PC.
It's not quirky if you you use a tried and true desktop environment (say XFCE) on a tried and true distro (say CentOS/RHEL or Ubuntu LTS)
I pay $20 every 90 days to Virgin Mobile (works out to $6.67 per month). I'll upgrade to a smart phone if and when the price of a plan that includes a reasonable amount of data drops to $15 per month.
I have a smartphone without a data plan, I pay $25 every 3 months to AT&T. I'd upgrade to a data plan when it doesn't cost 5X as much. Currently the cheapest AT&T data plan is $45.
Stop spreading incorrect info.

You need to start learning to update your information rather than researching something once and parotting outdated info like a robot years later.
Things change. How many times have I said to you, something like
"That's not entirely correct." or "That's outdated information there"
I purchased it because it was the most smartphone-like phone on which AT&T does not require a data plan
You can use AT&T smartphones without a data plan:

I've had 2 AT&T android go phones I've used that way, a Fusion and a Z998.
The problem with using a Windows Phone is that AT&T will probably still make you pay for a data plan that you don't use.
Only if you activate the phone via the phone itself, if you do it online you can have any plan you want. As I told you...two years ago in this reply:

You seem to lack the ability to update your information and keep harping on the same old axes you grind when your info is outdated and/or simply wrong.

You can still buy feature-phones at Wal-mart.
I had a V3xx that had a standard mini-usb port. Nice phone, the Moto wired headphones designed for it, suck so if you want to use it as a music player you really need a bluetooth headset, which the V3xx supports. It can handle many j2m3 apps.
