Sounds like a HPE Compute Scale-up Server 3200, but again keep in mind that's something where there's probably a fabric between nodes one way or another.

PS2 was cheaper at announce time, but by launch there were units priced 'competitively' (not always with PS2's capabilities such as ability to do component out, but almost always with a better UX). I should note the 'oth

I think the big thing that held gamecube back was the lack of other 'utility', at least as someone who was in college at the time. Can't play DVDs (PS2, or XBox with the remote accessory,) can't even play audio CDs. Let&

We are far more subtle and targeted about it as a whole, possibly due to our social structures. As vapid as the movie (intentionally) is, "Mean Girls" does a really good break-down of things, and perhaps the main issue is that u
