This has been done, twice. There's no real nerdy stuff being done here. He just took out the circuit board and attached a stock screen and battery and made his own case for it. No electronics tinkering required. A built in memory feature would be great, so you could just hold all of you games on 32meg smartmedia. Why not just buy a GBA if you want portable games of similar quality without the bulk and annoyance of carrying around those huge carts and the [relatively] huge system itself?
OK mod this down... why. I see that you could Disagree with my viewpoint, but It's not flame bait have you ever met a real social outcast coder who doesnt know about society they just care about a couple of things, one of them being coding.
Did I mention robin-hood? This isn't about money, or people, or anything. It's about one thing: CODE. Some crackers only care about the code and beating it. It's like a game. It is not about anything else. It is creative, and you cannot deny that.
How can you copyright anything created with paint? Anyone can take some paints, which were generated by a paint factory and slap them onto a canvas, how is that copyrightable? HTML is the medium for art to be expressed upon.
There are always other [usually better] ways to block ads-- two programs which are shareware/free webwasher and naviscope. Webwasher seems to block ads much more efficiently, it uses multiple criterium including an interesting one: image dimensions. As well, you can setup squid [a very very nice free proxy for *nix platforms] to block advertisments proxy-side. I block ads for my school for the sole purpose of saving bandwidth-- unfortunately to count hits many advertising sites insist on setting no-cache for the images which their cgis send... logs indicated most of our bandwidth was going to downloading advertisments, so they're nixed until they decide to play nice with our overtaxed connection.
Can they run linux on that satellite? Maybe all the asteroids could be combined into a beowulf cluster/planet. are these open source images? What about DeCSS? Metallica's lawyers haven't reviewed this yet but they think you violated their copyright in some way...
Great ask slashdot question "Hi, would anyone be interested in my product? Here's a link to buy my product..." maybe we can get rio and whoever else asking the same questions with a nice one-click buy option [just to piss off amazon or whoever].
OK, so the computer asks you "did he run the red light?".... ok the computer isn't exactly running some fuzzy-logic artificial intellegence program to determine wether the person is guilty or not, now is it? what kind of computation goes on behind the scene when you reply "yes, the driver did run the red light"? it must be microsoft bloatware... maybe a little dancing paperclip will pop up and say "this program has automatically sentenced the offender to death, would you like to know how to turn this feature off in the future?"
I got to get me a wavelan card and turn it on permiscuous mode... it will be just like my good 'ol scanner that can get cordless phone convos-- right? Is this possible?
So, what do you advocate? Not sharing your ideas? This person simply has some ideas to share! You aren't being told to join his secret cult or something, you just read, interpret, think and decide... maybe some of his ideas will strike you as something worthwhile and maybe not... you can't think of everything for yourself. If you think about semantics, it's best to have all viewpoints on a decision before making it so reading as many viewpoints on this perticular subject will just allow you to make better decisions. Nobody is making you buy this book!
They tried something, people reacted by saying they wouldn't buy it anymore, so they had to change it back. This is just more proof that money rules everything and everybody.
I lost my watch on saturday in the men's locker room at the downtown YMCA, It had sensitive data on it, like the actual secret correct time as set by an atomic clock in a government institution somewhere in midwestern united states. I had it strapped to my wrist as so many have suggested is the best way to save it, but I fear it may have been sabotaged by enemy spies who I also note were eyeing me in the shower room.
yea i know varak, he's a cool cat and he wants to save some satellites so he can keep in contact with his international network of ho's. if you want to help this mega phat pimp, lay him some cold cash and you may get some warm lap in return in the very near future as well as help an open satellite initiative... if you wanna know where he ircs just send me a lil e-mail and you will be enlighteneeddd
Since when does domain name be good I like domain names once I was thinking of apple.com for my orchard but they said I cant have it because someone was selling computers called apples well I said hey man what gives, obviously someone who sells apples should get apple.com and not a computer seller, but then they told me all about these apple proprietary pretty garamond font having computers and their ugly blue things that they have patented. you mean you cant have a cool looking computer like this, man what is wrong, I am so confused they didnt patent apples so how can you trademark the name of fruit. you're all fired or you're all crazy anyways get out of my bathroom i really gotta go pee.
Does anyone else find the fact that a huge company is embracing a [relatively] small open source initiative in a vain attempt to gain market share? It's as though they're going after that 'Built for Windows 95' logo that everyone was seeking when Windows 95 came out. Don't misunderstand, I still believe this to be a good decision, but the reasons behind it may be sinister.

I'm more of a supporter of open-drawer cash registers. And no, I don't support the gun and knive hacks many people have resorted to.
