the coleco vision was awesome, and that was the console, the ADAM was a badly rushed piss poor engineered PC based around the CV's hardware (why not TMS video z80 etc, arcade games in a set top box)
if ADAM didnt require the fragile printer, and erase your storage media, catch fire and fall apart it would have been a decent contender in the early "everyone has one" pc days riding the coat tails of a already moderately successful console with a library of high quality 3rd party (sega nintendo etc) arcade games
Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a very rare autosomal dominant inherited prion disease of the brain. It is almost always caused by a mutation to the protein PrPC, but it can also develop spontaneously in patients without the inherited mutation in a variant called sporadic fatal insomnia (SFI). The mutated protein, called PrPSc, has been found in just 40 families worldwide, affecting about 100 people;
now yes your health can be affected, it can be affected by many things, but the combination of this, the statement of Billy startling you (really? the guy was on tv every 6 min for years) and the statement of "smoke pouring out of my speaker" adds up to hogwash
sorry, call me a troll all you like, a tv speaker being blown is not going to pour smoke out of your tv, it may put out a TINY puff of smoke if your running full blast, but sorry it adds up to over exagerated "feel for me" hogwash
I dont shed a tear for you, you do not deserve it cause you beg for it
I have CD-R's dating from when I bought my first drive, back in 97, if you take care of them, like put them in their cases when done, and in a dark place (like a book shelf, binder, or cd rack)
how are the 2008 elections being lost and yet I still have voodoo 2 drivers and a windows 95 bootleg?
Its just darn near impossible, kind of like dying from insomnia, yea ok it could happen but the chances are next to none
sorry if you think I am an asshole, hell I will be the first to admit it, but just like there is no cure for that, there is no cure for being an over exaggerating twit
Christ, the only time I saw smoke pour out of a speaker it was hooked up to a 700 watt amp, your story reminds me of rabbit poop, a few little things start to smell like shit real quick
sorry, last election it took nearly 3 hours of my time
Im not saying that is a valid reason to not vote, but I hate it when people act like its a tiny insignificant thing to go do when reality is I just lost a half day's worth of pay in a single income family (neither by choice) to merely suggest that my statesmen vote one way or another
its not great cause its 3D and Nintendo, but they will sell a ton to (privileged) children (like my niece who treats her 200 some odd $ dsi like it was a used paper towel and will probably never know the value of a buck) and fanboi's who still wear their "legend of zelda" pajamas at age 32
others will look at Nintendo 3d doo hicky and say "see! 3D is a seller" further pushing the market into something that a good amount of people just don't care about, even though this thing amounts to those cheesy cards they used to give away with kids meals back in the 80's with the clear ribbed plastic over top, and the horsepower of a mid 1990's toy
Its also getting more dangerous with the bikers, saw one yesterday on a 50mph windy hilly back highway ridding right down the middle of the darn lane (even though the 6 foot wide shoulder was unoccupied).
Though they are not nearly as bad as people on motor cycles, yes be mindful some nut is an inch off your bumper on the interstate as he whips off doing 120 on 1 wheel, if they crash its obviously the car's fault...
lol, first thing that popped in my head was "demolition man" where snipes pops out the guards eyeball for the scanners using an ink pen...
It may not work for the bus, but remote location ATM's are a easy target, no more beating the pin number out of someone when you rob them
not when its apple, their entire history is based around a propitiatory closed dome, it would tickle Steve pink to have his own little internet for his children. Heck it took some serious nipple twisting to get iTunes off of "apple only"
If I could come home tonight, turn on the computer and for once since in installed 10 there would be no update screen with a 30% chance of reboot
but I know better than that
wow so your closed group of friends are pirates SO that should ruin the rights of every legit customer on the face of the planet.
Thanks for clearing that up!
heh I applied for a membership on the DSL fourms 4 years ago just to post a question, and have still not been approved
I spent nearly an hour today on slackware trying to see what options I had with a no cd no usb boot system, finally on some 3rd party blog I found a 5 page walk though that read like Russian stereo instructions
so yea they may seem to have more problems, but its honestly hard to get any other distro's to even setup a localized place to ask questions, I love it on my home machines, hm how do I do that, Oh I know...
google XYZ on ubuntu and there is a half dozen threads all pointing me in the right direction
and that is a good thing, no matter how much the hardcore nurds want to spin it

say what you mean then and dont over exaggerate your story to win bonus points, it makes you look like your full of crap
knee jerk? I just called you on a lie, which your backpedaling and I am a nutcase?
piss off
When I said smoke, I meant a little or tiny puff of smoke
then why the fuck did you state
Suddenly a commercial came on so loud that it blew the speakers - smoke poured out.
exaggerate much? whoops there we are right back at the beginning, horse shit
I googled it before I placed my first response,

maybe 30 minutes of your time to VOTE
sorry, last election it took nearly 3 hours of my time

so nay
but I wasn't talking about a city road, its a country highway with 6 foot shoulders, you can park a car in them!
Its also getting more dangerous with the bikers, saw one yesterday on a 50mph windy hilly back highway ridding right down the middle of the darn lane (even though the 6 foot wide shoulder was unoccupied). Though they are not nearly as bad as people on motor cycles, yes be mindful some nut is an inch off your bumper on the interstate as he whips off doing 120 on 1 wheel, if they crash its obviously the car's fault ...

how is it racist? OH I get it cause only non whites go to prison in your little world right?
grats! we have come back to the 3rd post in this thread
not when its apple, their entire history is based around a propitiatory closed dome, it would tickle Steve pink to have his own little internet for his children. Heck it took some serious nipple twisting to get iTunes off of "apple only"
bad excuses to not use chome (I guess I will have to one day...)
crap 200$ new
If I could come home tonight, turn on the computer and for once since in installed 10 there would be no update screen with a 30% chance of reboot but I know better than that
what 2 coats of lacquer?
agreed, If I was to be held to a legal contract I would like to see it before I was opted into agreeing with it

Of course it does, Intel farted, which automatically requires a new socket and 4 more power supply pins
