Actually the GBA is more powerful than the SNES. And it seems that most of the worth while (and some of the less than worth while) games are being re-released for it.
Of course hacks for hacks sake are just cool.
(Now if the GBA could just be hooked up to a TV, stereo and had a better controller.)

Orginally the devices that were used for copying games were also used to play the copied images on the system.
One of the most popular of these devices for the SNES was the Mutli Game Doctor. Try a search for it.
Actually it isn't his corpse, just his aged body suffering from cronic laryngitis. He is imprisioned in a dungon on the Romulan homeworld being tortured by Sela played by Denise Crosby.
Well the "networks" that send their signals through the air are controlled by the FCC. But "cable" channels, like Comedy Central, USA, Sci-Fi, aren't restricted in the same way.
So the networks are controlled by the FCC, cable channels are the ones controlled by the sponcers.
In published folders? How about on machines that are on the Internet at all.
In an ideal setup the machine storing credit card information wouldn't have a network card, or speak any networking protocal. You'd have a front end secure webserver. That machine would would pass the credit card information to the backend across a serial link. The backend machine would process the card and return the status. The CC data would only be a one way transfer, with no way of retrieving it back off of that machine.
People always seem to say that. Sorry I don't want to stay in the same job for the rest of my life. And I'd rather not have people curse my name after I leave.
Of course if you if you leave a complicated, but otherwise well functioning system perhaps they'll say "wow, that guy was really sharp, too bad we didn't realize what we had, now we are going to have to hire 4 people to replace him." That is how I'd like to be thought of.
SCCtM was the first episode of MST3K that I ever saw. I wasn't quite sure what I was watching, but I was laughing my ass off at it.
I had the same problem, we didn't have the Comedy Channel where I lived. I was at my grandmother's fipping through the channels when I found it.
On a slightly related note. I remember as an ever younger child also at my grandmother's watching Nick at Night. There was a show that didn't have the video over-lay, but still had voice overs making fun of TV shows or something. All I can remember is from a spot for it, a doctor carrying a foot stool into an office, with the voice over saying, "here's that stool sample you ordered." Does anyone know what this show was?
If you liked MST3K when it was running, you should NOT check out Edward the Less.
When I heard of a new project from the MST guys I just had to see what was up. I was so disappointed by it. There is a joke here or there that gets a little chuckle from me, but nothing like MST. Also the format it is presented in. Gah, still drawings that sometimes the camera pans about or zooms in on. Reminds me of some crappy PBS show I was forced to watch in elementary school, where a book was read while a drawing was slowly made to go with the story (fortunity I've repressed most of thoese memories so I can't exactly recall many of the details).
But anyway, if you are a fan of MST3K, save yourself the pain and avoid Edward the Less.
Actually I have some rather nice free-form dust patterns on my monitors. It isn't such a big deal as long as the dust is equally distributed. But as soon as someone comes along and puts a little finger print in my dust and that part of the monitor all of a sudden is brought into sharp focus it just pisses me off. I have to clean the whole screen and start my dust collecting over.
Does anyone else wonder why they just seem to have stopped all of a sudden.
Did the person(s) sending the letters run out of anthrax? Or perhaps was this just a first phase? Just a small scale experiment to see how a controlled release of antrax spreads.
I just wish the whole small pox idea was never brought up. But I guess with this book having been released even before the initial attacks, the thought was on someone's mind. I just feel now every time someone talks about small pox being used in a biological attack it increases the chances of it happening (I guess I'm not helping any).
I'm all for using computers to generate characters, but when the technology gets good enough to recreate a living person, why not use it to create a totally new person?
It just seems kinda odd that a company can buy the rights to a person's likeness.
First it was a.gz file that was the prime number that gunzip'd into DeCSS. That is relavant because.gz files can have an arbitry amount of junk tacked on the end and still be valid. So the person just gzip'd decss.c and then added enough junk to make it into a prime number.
Second a Mersenne prime is all bits 1, so you'll never have a valid gzip header to start with.
So no luck there. But if you were to gzip the number it would compress up real well.
I'm getting ready to fly out to ALS next month, coast to coast. I'm taking my laptop.
I had thought (for a split second) about throwing a count down at the end of my init scripts.
A cow-orker that is going with me does have a count down on his machine already when logging in as root, but it is just for how many bottles of beer are left on the wall. I told him that he probally shouldn't log in as root if he is asked to demonstrate his laptop. As a good *nix user, he replied, "root access wouldn't be required for that task anyway."
Sega's arcade hardware has always been beefier than their home consoles. For instance the Genesis was no System16 (Altered Beast was much better looking in the arcade).
This is probally more of the same, Sega is beefing up the X-Box for arcade use. So while it won't take too much work to port a game between the arcade and home versions there will be a little work to make the transition.
Slashdot Mirror
The hard disk is 40GB, and the cable is a VGA cable, that has L and R RCA plugs for audio.
I will be getting it when it comes to the US.
Blah smack me, you'll want to search for Multi Game Doctor.
:P
Even if you do preview you still have to read.

But you have the title right.

Oh well...
Well considering IE doesn't alpha composite PNGs on background graphics I don't think Microsoft has anything to worry about either.
So far Mozilla is the only browser I've seen that does proper alpha compositing of PNGs.
It was 8mm. Handheld, 30 second sping driven, silent, 8mm.
:P
How could it not be good?

The first beer I ever drank was a Guiness stout, and now all I drink is stouts, but even after watching many MST3K episodes I still can't stand Manos.
Hey, Alien from LA was one of my favorite movies, but Joel and the bots did add something to it.

Slightly off topic, the anthrax attacks.

Throw Brandon in there too.

Not to mention the fact that negitive numbers have an additional factor of -1 and thus can't be prime.
Oh, geez. I'm rolling on the floor with this one, but no one has modded it funny yet. Oh well...

Well not everyone has a fear of relationships, its the month billing part that I don't like. :)

You can use the USB port and get a USB to TOS-link converter for pure digital out of your laptop.
But this is off topic.
Crud my mistake. You are supposed to add the:
set editing-mode vi
line to your ~/.inputrc
Have fun...
