  1. Re:The state of emulation. on Fixing That Old Game System · · Score: 1

    1964 is actually viable now?

    Sheesh, last time I did N64 emulation was when UltraHLE was relatively new, and I was hacking at the ini with a debug-enabled version for hours trying to get zelda to work.

    In the 40's. Hitler's Children. That's what it was called.

    yeah, you need, what, a 32 AFQT to be 11B? The stupidest people get the guns, I guess. A buddy of mine in the 82nd AB almost threw a landmine in a trash compactor.

    hey now, I'm a TANKER and I consider myself quite a geek.

    Man, I was joking. I didn't mean any offense to you. By 'english english', I meant real english. And yes, I speak that american english, what with its checks and honors and colors and shit.

    Wow. I'm American. I get English English, but I'm guessing "well dear" is "very expensive". What the the feck is a kip?

    shit, I can get MiniDiscs for about $1 each, and they come in a caddy... not only that, but they're magnetoptical so they're not quite as simple as a CD.

    Geo (now defunt, right?) models are from Japan iirc, and they were owned by GM.

  12. Re:"Ricers" on Gentoo Ricer Comparison · · Score: 3, Informative

    You missed the definition by a mile.

    If you buy a Honda, and spend a few thousand dollars building up the powertrain, you're not a ricer. If you take that same Honda, and spend all your money on rims, stickers, and a big-ass aluminum wing for downforce in the back when the drive tires are in the front, you're a ricer.

    If you buy a Pontiac, and spend a few thousand dollars building up the powertrain, you're not a ricer. If you take that same Pontiac, and spend all your money on rims, stickers, and a big-ass wing, then you're a ricer.

    See?

  13. Re:ummm if it's not obvious on Microsoft Just Wants a Little Look · · Score: 1

    But see, you use the physical object analogy to prove your point.

    If the rich guy's bread was self replicating, he could so much as throw one loaf out, and he's a modern day jesus, with enough bread for the whole world.

    That analogy does not work for intellectual property. When you steal from a person, store, whatever, hell, even if it's boxed software, they have lost something that has value to it. When you steal music, or the actual software program itself, he loses, at most, a customer who would have paid otherwise. Unfortunately, most of the people who DO steal software or music wouldn't buy it otherwise. If it were impossible to copy software or music, I know I'd be using some old version of DOS, listening to WAV files of Beethoven or something.

  14. Re:Voting fraud nothing new on More on the Dangers of eVoting · · Score: 1

    Here in Pennsylvania, I only need show my voter registration to vote. No photo ID. What did I show to get that voter registration? Nothing. Filled out a form and got it mailed to me. So, you just register a bunch of non-persons (or dead people, or whatever) and vote as them.

    what, you think Sony's the only one that makes MD players? Off the top of my head, I can think of at least 3 other companies, Sharp, Panasonic, and marantz, that make MD players.

    Radio may be run privately, but it's not private business at all. Why? THere's limited radio spectrum. If a station is broadcasting on a certian frequency, NOBODY ELSE can use that frequency. Even you on your own property. You HAVE to accept that signal on that frequency.
