It's totally bogus. You can not get any color on the TI83+. The only "colors" you get are those from cranking the contrast way up so black pixels become 'blue', and white pixels become 'brown'.
You can put the LCD screen into 'test mode' by sending a specific instruction to the LCD controller. This 'test mode' makes a random line on the screen blue, and shuts off the rest of the display. (You also have to send an END TEST MODE instruction to get it out of test mode) It takes about a second for the blue line to fade back to the normal monochrome screen.
You can't do color on the TI8x's monochrome screens, but you can get grayscale by turning pixels on and off quickly.
The minute someone does a sucessful googlebomb, news reporting that googlebomb ends up taking the results immediatly afterwards. Typing in certain common googlebombed terms results in getting information ABOUT the googlebombs, rather than the bombs themselves.
Microsoft IE6 has a horrible bug where when you open a favorite from your toolbar, and it opens in the First browser window instead of the window you opened the favorite from!
Mozilla doesn't have that bug. It's an easy choice, I use IE5 or Mozilla, and avoid IE6 like the plauge.
With the crappiness of IE6, especially with its bug that causes favorites to open in the first browser window instead of the window that requested it, this should be no concern.
All it needs is publicity, it already blows IE6 out of the water.

DON'T slashdot the spoony bard!
Mountain Dew Code Red, (I love that stuff) also gives me an upset stomach... but it tastes so darn good...

Just have Dell make case mods then...
Nope, just sticking Nimda in some asian country's Visual Studio .Net.
Mozilla actually fixes bugs, Microsoft don't.

Floppys are a nice medium to put FixKlez on... At my job I use that program all the time!
That's a N64 controlled shaped FAMICOM CLONE, not an atari. It has a built in multicart full of 40k famicom games.
If they think that google caches are bad... The caches go down a while after the website disappears...
Then there's Archive.org... Until a squatter with a robots.txt takes the domain, it's there forever if it's there!
it lets you use visual basic code in asp pages!
Great, use the from header to flood innocent people with confirmation messages...
You know, someone ported OpenDivx to the gba!
This is the best damn troll I've ever seen!
You don't need EMM386 to play Doom because Doom uses the DOS4GW memory manager, which uses XMS, not EMS.
If a security hole is found that lets you execute arbitrary code, maybe you won't need a mod chip.
Tell that to the squatters who bought up great old sites and restrict their spamsites from being viewed by a new robots.txt file!
People won't be pirating very high bit rate 1080i movies over P2P networks unless fiber to the home becomes commonplace.
Heck, people don't usually pirate RAW ripped dvd's, they DIVX them first.
Remember, every 2 years the capabilities of the hardware doubles, then Windows slows them down again.
SNES games were written in ASM, GBA games are mostly written in C. 'Nuff said.

If you photograph this thing, it will catch on fire!
Gnutella came out long before napster did...
Does this have applications for low bitrate video encoding?
