but imagine if this emulator was released to the public! we could develop for all consoles simultaneously! wow.

GOP Rep. Earnest Istook of Oklahoma, who co-sponsored the amendment in the House, said some panel members are opposed to mandatory filters out of free-speech concerns.
"The commission was not designed to recommend the consensus of the American public," he said. "You cannot expect a commission with a makeup atypical of most people's opinions... to reach the common-sense conclusions that most people reach."
So free speech is against most people's common sense conclusions? When did this happen? --

(the wonderful people behind technogenesis) have always required computer for its students, but after my class, it was mandatory for those computers to be school-issue laptops. now, most of the classes that the freshmen and sophomores take DO require the use of their laptops and alot of their curriculum is web-based, but that doesn't stop just about everyone from playing quake, ut, minesweeper, solitaire, etc. i feel that's highly disrespectful, and hey, maybe i'm just annoyed that i take all my notes by hand, but i feel that having to take care of a laptop distracts me from class... i hate being in a humanities class where i'm trying to pay attention but the people around me are jiggling and clicking like mad. some professors do something about it, others think they're just being eager in their note-taking. erf.

isn't our society currently 'graying' where more people are aging over 65 than are being born? so there are alot of old people who think the same way bush does right? and how many of these new-fangled 18 year olds are going to vote? i know i am, but i'm voting for nader, which according to everyone is a vote for bush. but i refuse to be intimidated damn you! i will vote for who i want to vote without fear.
clinton has mentioned the digital divide more than once, right? does that mean gore wants to address it? i haven't heard much from him one way or the other. if the internet turns people's hearts dark, i doubt bush wants to increase internet access. and jamie's gonna have a field day when the fuckers come to censor his library ^^;;
bush is an idiot who thinks the net turns us 'dark' right? what's his proof? he was probably reading slashdot with a threshold of -1, the way moderators should be. hm. i wonder how many political candidates are slashdot moderators. as for lieberman, here is the appropriate penny-arcade: http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2000-10 -09

the site was originally starhack.ml.org. But like all good things on the net, 'life' intruded on the creator's part and he stopped being cool. bnetd was open source, but then someone came along and made it closed source, turned it into fsgs, and went above and beyond whatever bnetd did. fsgs.net, the only place to pick up a serious battle.net clone. bnetd just doesn't have it, never did, never will.
