For about $50 bucks you get about 100 games built in, so it's a good deal. A friend of mine has an NES clone built into a clone of an N64 controller that outputs to the TV...it also includes an extra controller and light gun that plugs into the main controller, along with 100 or so games.
Your friend needs to chop it up and build one of these.
Just order it from Craig in the UK using the (corrected) link above. He's a good guy and does game dev on the machines too. I got my GP32 from him with no probs.
I think the drop in teen violence has to do with the rise in teen obesity.
Violence requires movement. If all you do is set on the couch eating cheetos and twiddling your orange thumbs on a controller, you aren't in any shape to whale on someone with a bat in real life.
Hell, even chambering a round takes more effort than mashing buttons.
Thanks to the "No Child Left Behind" act, military recruiters have the phone numbers of many teens. These guys don't take "don't call me again" for an answer.
The second time they call, ask for their commanding officer's name and phone number. When they ask why, tell them you need it when you call the local TV station about his rude behavior and harassment.
He won't call again.
If you do sign up, get EVERYTHING in writing. Trust me, recruiters lie.
Out of curiousity, but, how hard was it to set all of this up? How much did it cost?
My father-in-law and one of my brother-in-laws built one of these. I think it was this exact design.
I think they spent about $750 on materials.

Jeebus, where did you come up with that number? More than one in ten Americans are homeless?
A quick Google gave me a total of about 600,000.

You know, on a global scale, how we define "poor" and "poverty" is kind of silly.
I have read that ~90% (seems high to me) of the world's population has never made a phone call. Probably a majority of people in the world have substandard food, water and shelter.
Yet in the western world, we define "poverty" as not being able to afford broad-band, or only having one game console, or only having basic cable.
Unless the parent(s)are total crack-heads, do any kids in the US REALLY go hungry? Call me a right wing fascist, but I find that hard to beleive. Food is cheap and plentiful here. You may not be able to afford steak, but most of the world lives on rice and beans, if they can get them.
Or you could rig up a I.R. tracker, clock/timer and noise detector and if the that f**king dog next door went nuts at 5am in the morning again, it would be the last time he did it! Yippy Kay Ay, motherf**ker!
Set out a bowl of anti-freeze. Dogs love it, it's cheap and quiet.
In practice, if the penalty for the crime that will be proven by turning over the body (or passphrase) is more than the penalty for contempt, who would turn over the body (or passphrase)?
Do you bitch about how unrealistic the sets are when you go see a play? Special-effects addled Americans think everything has to be hyperreallistic or its crap.
Not all of us. I for one think rolling rubbish bins are SCARY.

Most fundementalists do not consider Catholics "Christian". They have a long, boring explanation of why this is so.
From what I can dig out of their "logic", it has something to do with John the Baptist (or so my Grandmother used to say).
The fundementalists consider the Pope the "Whore of Rome" or even the Antichrist, so I don't them being swayed by what the Vatican says.
Would the steaming pile of doo with the satellite phone from JP2 do it?
Skills?
Buy a mid-range PC.
Install Tuner Card.
Install Software.
Not a lot of skill (or time) involved.
Mine, I built from scratch in a toolbox, using a mini-itx board. That took a little skill and time, but nothing killer.

With some of the 30+ screen multiplexes, a 46" screen may actually be larger than the theater screen.

When are companies going to realize this type of device (Video, MP3, Gaming) needs a fucking HARD DRIVE?
I mean it's not like tiny hard drives don't exist.
At LEAST make it an option!

It needs a browser and email client.
And it needs to come in BLACK. It will still look like a GBA SP, but at least the color won't make you throw up.

We are SO spoiled.
Married for 20 years with 2 kids. Yes, I am an old fart (nick is NOT Cpt_Pic).
I dunno. I know a fair amount of girls who'd state that it was. Heck a handful of them only had room for about 5...
Girls lie.
Images of screwing a pager fill my head. Shocking, really.
If the damn squirrels weren't eating my garden to begin with then I would have food enough I wouldn't need to stoop to eating squirrel meat.
Stoop to eating squirrel meat? STOOP TO EATING SQUIRREL MEAT!?!?!
Dude, the only thing wrong with squirrel meat is there isn't enough of it on a squirrel! Have you ever tried it fried?
Mmmm, fried squirrel and gravy for breakfast...

Not only is she decent looking, she plays poker, drinks, smokes cigars and KICKS ASS.
IMHO, other than Adama, she is the only MACHO character on the show.

And Dallas and Family Guy. So "not being original" shouldn't be an issue.
And I heard he is playing himself (a homeless guy) on CSI.
