But I loaded the page twice, and I got the same article on the right showing a close up of a female chest area. I couldn't RTFA being so distracted. But I guess being Slashdot I should make wild assumptions and not think about the picture. Something about Victoria Secret I think. There I go being distracted again. ..
Having read the full article, I'm sure they will find that everyone should ride bikes or we will have the same issue that China is having and not be able to see.
It [Apple II] was aggressively marketed through volume discounts and manufacturing arrangements to educational institutions which made it the first computer in widespread use in American secondary schools.
And I'm able to make sure we take down the giant goblin at the end of the raid. Everyone needs the Spell Checker (tm) add on for there favorite Fantasy MMO(RPG).
And I probably shouldn't have wasted time replying that I agree with you. I guess there is a certain level that might be expected? But really? Everyone knows what LOL, ROFL, and many other things are. If you can read it enough to complain, than it doesn't matter. How many pictures have been posted everywhere saying how smart the brain is understanding the language? Oh well. There went 2 mins. And speel cheek doesn't lick mins.
I'm afraid you can give up on the xbox 1, you'd think since it was an X86 Celeron that an emulator would be a done deal but for some reason nobody ever really bothered. Luckily you CAN find a couple of really good PS2 emulators on the net and since most games came out for both systems you can just run the PS2 version.
Well, no worries on Xbox 1. I didn't have a large library, and only one I didn't beat was Forza completely.
As far as using your own discs frankly I would just go to a site like Emuparadise and download the ISOs and run those instead, you can't read GC games with a normal DVD player and many DVD players won't read the PS2 discs so its just easier in the long run to just download the ISOs. This also gives you the advantage of just having all your games in a folder on your hard drive so no needing to hop up to switch discs, you can just kick back and switch through the emulator.
For PS2, I guess I would be loosing my saved game, but I guess I can always beat them again anyway.
But I can tell you my youngest nephew was a console maniac until I showed him the wonders of emulators and Steam, now he has all his older consoles right there at his fingertips and of course the frequent Steam sales makes PC gaming a HELL of a lot cheaper than console gaming by a pretty big amount. You can build a really nice AMD unit for less than $450 that will not only play all the latest and greatest but with emulators you can plug in your favorite controller and have everything from the Atari on up right there ready to go.
I would love a library of old SNES games. I loved the simple mario world, and can play that over and over. I think SNES was golden for a lot of the stable games for Nintendo. But that is probably because that was huge when I was younger.
Its just so much nicer and not only can you have all the games at your fingertips but by using a combo of file2folder GUI and Media Center Master you can rip all your DVDs and have them loaded WITH the box art and synopsis so every movie you've ever liked is right there at your fingertips. I'd say that even more than gaming is what is selling my customers on HTPCs as everybody has large DVD collections nowadays and with this you're not hunting for discs, dealing with scratches or other bullshit, its all instant and on demand.
I want to get my vhs transferred over too. Although, as my son gets older it doesn't matter as much as they are mostly his. Me and my girl want another one though, so would be nice to just have all the shows ready. My son is great with computers all ready at a young age. Kids that grow up with this stuff are crazy. I would love if I could afford a nice touch screen to browse the stuff, but I don't know how much that costs. I had a friend who nannied for a MS exec. He house was crazy wired with stuff like that.
Or can you show statistics that gaming HTPCs have become popular, as opposed to an extreme niche?
I do this.
That makes you one out of seven billion. One out of seven billion is not a market. Even 150,000 as FunkSoulBrother surmised three years ago isn't a market compared to 25 million consoles. There have to be a critical mass of HTPC owners before major PC game developers will spend the time=money to add features to their PC games to target HTPC owners, and it appears some people are dead set against setting up an HTPC.
Wonder if I could do Game cube to? I never looked into it.
To play your GameCube game discs in Dolphin, you'd first need a homebrew-enabled Wii console to dump your games. I've read that most PC DVD-ROM drives can't read the sector format used by GameCube and Wii discs, which differs slightly from DVD.
no one is using cartridges for new games.
Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation Vita use cartridges. Sony tried discs in PSP, but it added too much weight and dragged down the battery life.
Yeah, I know I'm a small market. I'm happy with the set up, even though I get black bars on the TV. I don't have a Wii, but oh well. It isn't like I play the games. It isn't hooked up to the TV. I was thinking more the PS2 games. Good call on the portable. I think cartridge is best for portable, or download to unit. But cartridge most likely.
What about those who lived out of there car at a poverty level. Took it upon themselves to get a minimum wage job. Work hard. Get advancements. Get better jobs. Get a place to live. I have lived in my car twice. In an attic of a house for free, in a chicken coop with no heating for free. I may have nice things now, but I worked for them. I understand there is a problem, I think my biggest complaint is when it says in the article that people are wasting money on cell phones and tv, yet complain of no internet.
That doesn't mean there aren't people who haven't had bad luck. But luck is a lot of what you make it.
I agree. When I grew up I wore qoodwill cloths. On sale shoes. How much bling are people having?
This being said, I know there are hard working individuals who have hit it hard. Nothing is perfect. But from the full article, one person was stating how much they spent on TV (luxury) and cell phone (depending what type luxury). Where is your fat in your budget you could turn into something more useful?
I thought this. I grew up without satellite tv, or cable. We had the internet. We didn't have cell phones (although who did in the 90's?), but I did visit the library frequently and check out books to read. From the article, I read it this way: "I can't afford the internet, but I spent my money on a shiny cell phone and tv.???"

fair enough.
But what about all the flash games they can play? FB games don't require install. . . FarmVille in class.
1: Google in schools
2: ?
3: Profite!
Um, what do you think Apple did?
It [Apple II] was aggressively marketed through volume discounts and manufacturing arrangements to educational institutions which made it the first computer in widespread use in American secondary schools.

TLDR: (My understanding) You proof once to your math teacher, than they let you use the computer the rest of the year for that one.
Now I'm confused, I only have one sarcastic mod point to use; and don't know who to use it on?

Is this why I can't ever read the quote symbol? It is all garbled?
Ok, that is fair. I guess we probably (we humans) didn't fair to well when it was animal rules. I in no way have some answer.

It was done on a swimming mammal? That sounds dirty.
I thought the babble fish went into your ear.
Did they hit level 2 off a sewer rat?
The problem with government is they are all bad.

Ok, well I did not know this. Figures, the government tells lots of people to do lots of things, that I think aren't needed.

They aren't dumb to them. They are still rich after all.
Wish I could mod you up.
