Some are accusing Billy of using the save state feature in MAME on those runs. Still, even then, it's impressive. Just doesn't belong in the high score list for either original hardware or MAME. Even if he didn't abuse MAME features to achieve the score, still doesn't belong in the original hardware high score list.
It was wrong to try to pass it off as an original hardware run, and taints his other records.
However, he really is that good at playing those games
In this instance, all they have proof of is that he used MAME to play the game ROMs, instead of the original hardware. Million plus score on DK in MAME is just as impressive to me as on the original hardware.
"The King of Kong" was great, but "Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade" gives a better insight into the community and the different personalities. KoK is a better film, but Ghosts covers a wider selection of the people in the community. Both those behind Twin Galaxies and the arcade player record holders of the 80s. Some of then are very cringe worthy.
In fact, there was a marking "Do not use for Sun glasses".
Not saying the glasses were legitimate or not, but that warning would actually be good for real eclipse glasses. With actual eclipse glasses, you can look at an unfrosted incandescent light bulb, and all you'll see is a faint glowing filament surrounded by black. Using those as sun glasses would be a good way to crash your car.
Mexico is region one. I'm in the US, in a household of all US citizens, but a household of majority spanish speakers. So, only region one media and players are available to us.
If you want to ensure that you don't fall victim to these vulnerabilities, there's an easy way to be sure you're safe. Don't break the law by pirating content and software. If you refrain from piracy, you will be safe. Hope that helps.
You are quite wrong, on all accounts.
I download spanish subtitles for movies we've legally purchase all the time, because they did not come with those subtitles. So, you are wrong about legal purchases negating the need for these subtitles.
I've also gotten computer viruses from legally purchased and authentic software. Got one from a game I bought at Gamestop, back when games came on floppies. Anti-virus caught it as soon as the disk went into the drive. So, you are wrong about legal purchases keeping you safe.
Remember Sony's root kit debacle? Sometimes you're not safe from the corporation you're buying from.
Not true. It may be true for you, but not for me. I live in the 11th largest city in the country, and the number of stations I could pick up after the digital switch doubled. Half are Spanish language, which you're just as likely to hear spoken in my household as English, but it was that way before the digital switch as well.
Your mileage may very, but cable is no longer a necessity. Cut it.
If it wasn't for my wife wanting to watch The Bachelor the second it comes on I would have cut the cable a long time ago.
Cut! Cut now!
The Bachelor is on ABC, which you can get over the air. Unless you have one of the very early HDTVs, you've got a digital tuner in your set. You can rig-up a wire clothes hanger into the coax input and pick up free broadcast over the air HDTV, which will be your local stations. That includes ABC, so your wife can watch that crap show as soon as it comes on.
Cut! Cut now!
We haven't had cable in almost a decade now. The only channel my wife even misses is Investigation Discovery, and there's a local channel that broadcasts over the air that has similar content.
Bears can be quite bipedal, but this 'thing' grabbed a branch and swung on it.
If all it did was meander across the screen on two legs, then I'd say it could possibly be a bear. However, as you pointed out, the movements it makes rules a bear out.
It didn't make any movement that would rule out a human walking around in the forest. So, I'd say your bitcoins are quite safe.
It wasn't that. There was no default video player set, and it was bringing up a list of video players to choose from, with the just once/always option. The issue was that despite other players being installed, only ES's player was shown in the list.
After uninstalling ES, the list returned to the full list of players.
I cleared default apps, and it brought up a list of video players to choose from when selecting a video to play from other apps. Despite MX player and VLC both being installed, it only showed ES's player. Until I uninstalled ES File Explorer. And guess what? The other players magically showed up.
I uninstalled ES last week, and it had nothing to do with ads. It was blocking another app, a dlna client, from being able to select a video player other than ES's built in player. ES File Explorer has morphed into very a invasive app that just happens to have a file manager in it. It's now border line malware.
Exactly. I have a spool of Cat-5 cable, a bag of connectors, a crimper, and a tester. Haven't bought an ethernet cable in decades, I just make them to fit when needed.
You're missing the point. Having AI play Fallout 4 will teach them that dogs are dangerous, because they block you on stairs and doorways, leading to death. So, naturally our computer overlords will want them all destroyed.
Remind me why competition among public utilities is bad again?
Because big telecom will need to cut prices to be competitive. And you know what happens then? All the C-level executives will have to cut back and get just the large Jacuzzi instead of the extra large Jacuzzi! That's one less hooker you can fit in there, you know. We can't have that, now can we?
I've been looking more into it, and it's not that clear cut. Some think it can be interpreted that way, especially because an earlier wording made it clear that it was meant to be consecutively counted. But, it's not clear.
Also, just maintaining a house in the U.S. could count.
Yes, you can. You can also renounce it. But that's irrelevant to my point. I'm not talking about citizenship, nor questioning his status as a natural born citizen.
But, rather the last part of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:...neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
This is what I don't get. Clarkson has this British bloke persona, the kind of guy you can have a pint with and not have to worry about the conversation delving into fashion design or spa treatments. Basically, the opposite of the effeminate metrosexual.
Yet, he basically punched someone out over catering.
The last words out of the mouth of the guy he hit had better have been "vegan only."

And you apparently haven't seen the video in question. Bear? No. Bigfoot? No. Person in dark clothing? Almost certainly.
Yes, bears can be bipedal for short distances. However, that definitely wasn't a bear. Person in dark clothing is most likely answer.
I also suspect SSL is making it harder for them to learn anything.
This. Google defaults to encrypted, they can't see what you're searching for on the worlds most popular search engine.
Wrong!
Kill the driver, every time!
It's an autonomous car, who cares if the computer driving it dies.
Now, the passenger on the other hand...
It wasn't that. There was no default video player set, and it was bringing up a list of video players to choose from, with the just once/always option. The issue was that despite other players being installed, only ES's player was shown in the list.

That tells me that ES was the culprit.

Citizenship != residency.
Yes, you can. You can also renounce it. But that's irrelevant to my point. I'm not talking about citizenship, nor questioning his status as a natural born citizen.
But, rather the last part of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5: ...neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
The "been fourteen Years a Resident" part.
Has it been 14 years since he fled Belize? Or did he manage to maintain US residency while he was down there?
Actually, the taste varies from person to person.
