I think we should start up a database to keep track of prices at the big box stores. I know they are bitches about people collecting their prices, but they couldn't stop a horde of geeks with ipaqs scanning stuff in the aisle.
Plus I think it would be neat to wake up, and search up a list of where the cheapest oranges, deoderant, paper towels, whatever would be that day.
Of course it might not be worth the time (and gas) to drive all over town to save 85 cents on paper towels, but at least you could average everything together and figure out the best store to shop in for that day.
Are you telling me there are blank SNES flash carts out there? and they are selling for under $60? Something which copies ROMs from the PC to Flash cart which can be used in your actual SNES hardware?
Links man, dear god.. please link so I can buy some!
I had always heard this would be impossible due to different ROM sizes in the games or somesuch. Prove me wrong. Please!
oh how that man has to start making games again. Some true classics, including one of my favorites, the little known Adventure/RPG Superhero League of Hoboken.
I've played with Keyhole and World Wind before, and they are neat little interactive globes, but who is spending monthly fees on them and for what purpose?
As someone who lived in Grand Forks for 20 years, I can assure you we have nothing so exciting as cattle here. The tractors, sure.. but thats just for wheat and sugar beets.
On the plus side it would be fun to play GTA on an Icy street.
can you set it up to auto-update these days? that was my biggest gripe with it last time I tried it out, I always had to manually tell the software to update its definitions.
Would you still be a libertarian if you had to start over at an equal economic footing with everyone else in the country, or are you just another rich guy who wants to get out of his taxes because he can afford everything besides self-protection?
Knoppix is the ONLY distro out there that can run all of my laptop hardware without any screwing around. Is there a normal Hard Disk installer available for it, cause if so, I'd be switched to linux within the hour.
Visa already won't let you do internet gambling transactions. But admittedly this is semi-legal in the USA, so they have some legal backing to make that decision.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I wouldn't necessarily say that the incidence of fraud is higher, just the incidence of stupid people with buyers remorse who think they can lay their porn/gambling addiction back on the Financial provider with false claims of fraud.
Being someone who does online sports betting, PayPal cut us out a little over 2 years ago.
But it was a practical, not moral cut in my opinion.
The fact of the matter is that in the gambling, adult and I suppose the drug business, you get way too many people who purchase the "product" and then get buyers remorse, and raise all kinds of hell at the card provider, saying it was never them but nefarious internet hooligans who gambled with their Paypal account, or bought that porn subscription to Fatchicks.com.
It became so bad at least in the gambling world that Paypal said the hell with it, and left. Now we have similar providers, but more personal responsibility, too. I actually like it that way.
People often bet $100 to win $1 on the first round of the NCAA tournament, 1 vs 16 games. It has yet to lose. A lot of books won't put up odds on it though.
To paraphrase Badnarik: If you're unjustly imprisoned and have a 48% chance of getting lethal injection, 50% chance of electric chair and 2% chance of escaping, which is the "pragmatic" choice?
I can't believe someone on a geek website would buy that kind of flawed math. Just becuase the libertarian candidate gets 2% of the vote does not mean he stands anywhere near a 2% chance of being elected.
yeah I had that idea until I decided to actually try and game on my iPaq. It was not designed to be an NES controller at all. The emulation was great, but unless you have a gamepad attachement for your pocketpc, you won't have much fun holding it and playing.
I don't really have a problem with the emulation, but can you really enjoy NES games using save states all the time? I mean they are usually very short but written so that you have to replay challenges over and "master" the game in order to beat it. With save states it seems you'd finish most NES games in like an hour.

fair enough.
I don't know of anyone who has used Paypal for online poker in the last 2 years. Its been out for a while now.
Most people use Neteller and it suits them fine. Keeps people from gambling on credit, too.
Now if Neteller was shut down, then the poker world be in for some trouble.

Your point still stands, however.
oh, they are jsut selfish of their own free will.

well geez woman, no need to be vindictive. The guy was *appreciating* your breasts, the least you could do is appreciate his crotch.
I don't use an optical mouse. There is nothing wrong with my ball mouse, and I know how to clean it.

recieved, thanks.

worked just fine with my mandrake install. Didn't seem to notice the extra OS at all.
