Building An MP3 Jukebox From An Arcade Machine

He said, 'The problem was, my non-computer friends always had trouble selecting songs, creating songlists, deleting songlists, etc.' So he got to work building such a machine, providing the steps in case you would like to as well. Pictures are included as well. Pretty spiffy if you have a game room!"
Taco is even dumber than I thought
Well, I don't think taco posted that one
No but he writes the paychecks for these morons

God I need it bad! Anybody wanna cyber?
Oh stop it, please! You are going to force that person to actually read the article.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 pounds beef short ribs, cut into 3- to 4-inch pieces
1 large onion, sliced
3 1/2 quarts water
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
12 whole black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
2 whole cloves
BORSCHT
10 medium beets (about 2 inches in diameter), rinsed, tops trimmed
1 cup water
3 cups (about) canned beef broth
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup chopped onions
6 cups thinly sliced green cabbage (about 1/2 small head)
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 large russet potato, peeled, diced
2 tablespoons (or more) red wine vinegar
Sour cream
FOR STOCK: Heat vegetable oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add half of beef ribs and sauté until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining ribs; transfer to plate. Add sliced onion to pot. Sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Return ribs and any juices to pot. Add 3 1/2 quarts water and remaining stock ingredients. Bring to boil, skimming any foam from surface. Reduce heat and simmer until ribs are very tender, skimming foam occasionally, about 2 1/2 hours.
Using tongs, transfer ribs to plate. Strain stock into large bowl. Chill stock until fat solidifies on top, at least 3 hours. Remove meat from bones; cut away excess fat. Shred meat finely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover meat and chill. Keep stock chilled.)
FOR BORSCHT: Preheat oven to 375F. Arrange beets in single layer in 13x9x2-inch baking dish; add 1 cup water. Cover; bake beets until tender when pierced with knife, about 1 hour. Cool beets. Peel and cut into 1/3-inch dice.
Remove fat from surface of stock. Add enough canned beef broth to stock to measure 10 cups.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Add diced carrots and chopped onions and sauté 10 minutes. Add cabbage and garlic and sauté 5 minutes. Add 10 cups beef stock, beets, potato and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar. Simmer until cabbage and potato are tender, about 20 minutes. Add shredded meat; simmer 5 minutes. Season with additional red wine vinegar, salt and pepper.
Ladle borscht into bowls. Top each with dollop of sour cream and serve.

Right, and it later goes on to state: However, the Altec Lansing speakers drew too many amps for the machine's power supply so I had to revert back to the speakers in the box. Goddamn, at least read the article.
perform fellatio on self. Step seven completed!
How the fuck do you complete step two when it's already slashdotted?
i have to give you props PhysicsGenius - you are one of the best trolls around. I always look forward to your posts. If I am not mistaken, you seem to change your sig too - I really like this one "Director of Particle Acceleration". Does that mean you direct the accelerated particles where to go? or do you direct some lab where particle acceleration occurs, and just dont want to name it?
anyways, keep up the interesting work.
If you're going to steal my stuff, at least repost it logged in so I know who my fan is.
I like it. Don't know what's up with all the negative comments. If you don't have anything nice to say. . .
Your trolling skills are absolutely 1337. Generally I don't like trolls, but PhysicsGenius is turning it into a respectable art form.
/., load up the article, read the article, find the flaw in the article, and still be able to get first post.
I haven't yet read the article myself, but even if his point is absolutely true (doubtful), it strikes me as highly unlikely that one could load up
Wait. He's a physics genius. Time travel. Forget I said anything.
You want the truthiness? You can't handle the truthiness!
How is the above comment in anyway insightful? There is no insight or forward thinking going on in this comment. So what cmdrtaco's mame cabinet looks better.
