Where to find the original ROM?

On: Dad Hacks "Donkey Kong" - Now Pauline Rescues Mario

He's publishing a patch but I assume you need the exact same version of the ROM that he used.

Could anyone give me a hint as to where I could find that ROM?

I'd love to load this on the ipad for my kids.

Thanks!

theory != fact

On: UK Government Mandates the Teaching of Evolution As Scientific Fact

How does a 'comprehensive and coherent scientific theory' constitute a "fact"?

your title is completely bogus (or to put it more bluntly, an outright lie)

Aircraft only fly to the south pole 5 or 6 months out of the year.

So your hard drive plan works 1/2 the time (50% solution FTW!)

For some reason that just totaly blows my mind:

And that fact that the new Atlas V is based on a russian engine?????

That just depresses the heck out of me......

Alternative to Blockbuster?

On: Blockbuster to use Divx-scheme for PC Games?

The pc industry already has "Try Before You Buy".

Just subscribe to a magazine such as "Maximum P.C." and you'll get more demos then you have time for.

I would like to find an alternative to blockbuster but can't. The nearest Hollywood video is an extra 20 minutes drive, and the local mom+pop shops have horrible selections (unless you are shopping for porn).

I really dislike the company. My main gripes are the high late fees (3.50 to rent but 3.00 per day late fee? 3.50 should get you another 5 "nights"), and the long waits for service (avg. 8 minutes).

Unfortunately, where I live there is simply no alternative.....

Not See Through

On: Computer Display Clips Onto Glasses

Looks like these are not see through, rather they project an image at infinity. Big difference, but still usefull.

See through would be way cool for "assisted reality" applications. Like drapping countour lines over whatever terrain you are viewing.
