  5. MAME and ROMs on Buying Arcade Classics? · · Score: 1

    I believe it would be simplest to buy a defective arcade game, open up and rip out the board containing the ROMS, and leave the big box there. That way you become legally licensed to run the emulated MAME version of that game.

  10. Who trains the Neural Net? on AOL Introduces Neural-Net Content Filtering · · Score: 4

    Is this going to be one giant Neural Net for all AOL? Or is it going to be community-based? I don't necessarily want to filter content the same way as, say, the Bible Belt users.
    Also, who gets to train the filtering decisions? Can the Slashdot or Everything2 model be applied here? That would mean that all users would have to sit down and go thru all decisions made by the engine and vote aka train the NNet. If there's only one engine that applies to the whole userbase, it'll fail, because it will filter too much for some, too little for others.

  11. Best part was GTs. on Every BBS That Ever Was · · Score: 2
    Back then, the best part of BBSing was the Get Togethers. Memorable GTs in 514 :
    • Arcane BBS Snow GT - Yearly gathering at the Mount-royal for sledding & krazy karpets
    • Weekly Happy Hour GTs - After school / work we'd all head out downtown for happy hour -- and staty till closing!
    • Movie GTs - A bunch of geeks converge on a theater. Make way!

  21. What about DVD players...? on Coming Soon: Burn-Proof CDs · · Score: 2
    Will it be possible to play these in DVDs? My Toshiba can't even play CDR, CDRW audio CDs. How can it possibly play these 'protected' CDs.

    General comment: Copy protection inevitably involves violating the specifications of the medium: Macrovision violates the NTSC video standard, Those CDs violate the Red Book audio CD standard. So manufacturers get suckered into making standard-compliant devices, and media producers go right ahead and break those standatds.

    VEIL OF THE SITH

    There is unrest in the Galactic Senate. Several hundred solar systems, under the leadership of the Rebel Leader, Count Dooku, have declared their intentions to secede from the Republic.

    This separatist movement has made it difficult for the limited number of Jedi Knights to maintain peace and order in the galaxy.
