  5. Re:Just keep this in mind... on PDA for Tech Savy Students? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I love my Tapwave Zodiac: you get a nice 4 inch screen, Stereo Speakers that are quite loud, 2 SD card slots for 8Gb of total (2x4Gb SD cards when used with Fat32 Driver) storage, Bluetooth, and a 4-5 hour play time. Use Core Media Player and pocketDiVXencoder for video. You can encode movies down to 200Megs. Bluetooth GPS. I Use LJZ for Console emulation of GB, NES, SNES, Gen, NGP, WS,and TG16. There are also some SD games(Doom,DukeNukem,SpyHunter,Galactic realms, and Legacy). There is also a free version of Quake and Hexen avaliable. Also there is a version of SCUMM VM.

    Its also a Palm PDA so you have a Office suite with Document To Go, and a few Web browsers that work with a Bluetooth Phone. Sync with Outlook(not my choice, thats what the USAF makes us use). It also nice because you can play MP3s while running other applications with very little slow down.I can also take my SD card from my camera and view the pics and vids with out any reformating. Its hard to call this a "PDA", its trully a small tablet computer. --

    Well the Internet is derived from the ARPANET that the Evil Military developed so maybe they should not use it. Of course the freedoms they enjoy are the Military's fault too.

    Also the Game Gear was essentially a Master System. There was a physical adapter the allowed Master system game to to be played on the Game Gear. The Sega Nomad was cooler, It was a Sega Genesis in a poratable size. Same screen as the Game Gear but it had a plug for a Genesis controller and a Tv output. If you can find a Sega CDX grab it, it has a CD player sized Sega Genesis CD with 2 controller plugs, cartridge slot , and TV output, It could also play CDs from Batteries.

  14. Re:Meh. on Oklahoma 'Games As Porn' Bill Now Law · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm stationed in Oklahoma and the adult video stores can only sell the "Cable Version"(X-rated) versions of XXX movies. When I was stationed in New Jersey and Mississippi the local video stores had backrooms for the XXX rentals.

    Oklahoma also outlaws Tattos, that is why the first few exits after the state line in Texas has Tatto and XXX Adult video stores.

    In High School Electronics class we used to put Small Electrolytic Caps in a deactivated power strip and wait for a fellow classmate to come in and turn on their bench and jump from the loud pop. Should be interesting to see how loud the Pop from a car sized Cap would be 8^)

  20. Re:I would switch. on Cox May replace its own DVRs with TiVos · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'd switch if the lazy bastards would run cable lines out to the country where I live. That would mean I could get a cable broadband connection instead of having my house look like a Space Monitoring station with Dish500 and Wildblue dish's on my roof.
    I have city gas and water but can't get DSL(SBC) or Cable(COX).
