Legacy to the durability of the NES

[t0qer]

I once had a NES that was thrown 40' over the edge of a deck of a house that sat on a steep hillside.

Crushed by this abuse of my baby, I picked her up and carried her inside, I had spent so many a hours with her and metroid, amungst other games.

Upon openening the case, I noticed that the PCB had cracked near the AV out panel, across only 3 traces. I found some blue wire wrap wire and began carefully soldering the 3 traces.

After slapping what was left of the case back together, I put in a cartridge and pressed the power button. Sucess as I turned up the volume to annoy my father with my victory over his rage on my defensless nintendo.
**Shudders**

question.

Can someone please take their time to explain to me why the words "linux" and "kernel" are contained in the above post?

The only explanation I can think of is those words automagically alter the probability of acception and posting of ones` submission to slashdot, in much the same way the words FREE and ENLARGEMENT alter the probability of e-mail ending up at /dev/null.

But procmail does not get paid to do that.
