the game doesn't seem "right" without the players on the correct teams.
No kidding. I'm a big Buffalo Bills fan, but not much of a gamer. I picked up a copy of NFL 2K2 for my Dreamcast a couple months back and was playing it.
Sure, it was nice to finally get the Bills that title. But it felt weird to do it with Rob Johnson, Peerless Price, and Sammy Morris on the roster.
I wish that games like that would allow online roster updates for a nominal fee.
It doesn't get as many props as the Model M, but I'm typing this on an original Apple Extended Keyboard hooked up to an iMac G5 via a USB-to-ADB adapter, and the keyfeel is very similar.
According to what I'm reading here, I am indeed breaking the law and should stop immediately. So, I will have no broadband now and no way of getting it even though the signal is coming straight into my house and XP attaches automatically.
Leave your house. Talk to your neighbors. I'm sure that at least one of them will give you permission to use their wireless network.
When I lived in an apartment, I contained a lot of the network clutter in a milk crate. Get a milk crate and a bunch of cable ties from a hardware store.
Zip tie one of your surge strips inside of the milk crate, along with your router and your cable modem. All on different sides. Hook them all up together and use more zip ties to bundle up the cables between them.
Now put the milk crate on the floor, with the open side down, and stack more stuff on top of it. This means you not only get rid of the desk clutter from your cable modem and router, but you now have a printer stand as well. And a couple of headless boxes can get put there, too.
The Sega Saturn 3d controller was perfect. It had the six button setup from the original, but was otherwise the same as the later Dreamcast controller.
The perfect device for playing Street Fighter series games.
This is a totally useless feature that I wish would be ended. MAC spoofing is trivial, all it does is give people a false sense of security.
But it does make my network more of a pain in the ass to connect to than any of the six running wide open on my street. And that's all it needs to do.
Who's going to waste their time finding a valid MAC to connect to my network rather than just using another SSID that's being helpfully broadcast by my neighbors?
Ah, the Amstrad 3" disk - the pricy, non-standard alternative to the 3.5" floppy. This wasn't just present in the Spectrum +3; the CPC 664/6128 (which shared much of its hardware with the +3) could read these disks, as could the late-80s PCWs.
They were also available in an external chassis for the Atari 8-bit line, as well as the Commodore 64/128 series.
I remember really wishing that I could afford one when I was ten or twelve years old.
Call the colleges in your area. Odds are that their Media Services department, or whatever they're calling the AV Club these days, has a pile of them to get rid of.
We've got a whole storage room full of the things at work. One gets trotted out for some antediluvian professor who still uses transparencies every once in a while, but most of the time they're just gathering dust. I doubt we're unique.
Hmm, that's interesting. I've been running Debian on a Pismo with no problems, including full support for the Airport card. Just make sure that the wireless-tools package is installed, so that the card settings can be changed.

I totally agree. Fake wood inlays on the dashboard are critical to the overall functioning of the vehicle.
My entire dashboard is hideous 1970s woodgrain. With an analog clock bigger than the speedometer.

If you've got to go electronic, I'd use a Palm m100. They're cheap as hell, and mine will get a month or two on a single set of AAA batteries.

Why do they hand out letter sweaters for sports players and nothing beyond report cards for students who actually study?
My high school actually had three different letters -- one for academics, one for athletics, and one for debate.
Then again, I went to a Jesuit high school, so I don't know how representative that is of American high schools in general.

All Slashdot has to do is print a dupe and the ad counter will start rolling.
All they have to do is stop and people might actually start subscribing.
I know I'm not giving these editors a dime until they figure out some basic grammar and stop posting the same stories over and over again.

That's why you see small businesses closing left and right, while Starbucks and Wal-Mart open yet another store in your area.
They only have power if people give it to them. Don't like Wal-mart, Starbucks, and the latest TGI McPickleshitter's family restaurant? Shop local.
I do it. It costs more. It's worth it.
