My first computer ever (I'm 21) was a 64K Tandy Color Computer 2. I never did get a disk drive, but I have the cassette tape interface. I still have it along with all my cassettes and cartridges.
About 5 years ago or so, I even bought a 512K Tandy Color Computer 3 for pretty cheap.
An artist puts something of himself or herself into the work. It conveys emotions and ideas. There may be science in music, but there's no science behind what makes a song good or enjoyable.
Well... he suggested putting the dick between two fingers and then moving your hand up and down really quick... causing the dick to go up and down (it's also loud because it keeps slapping against your stomach)
It works... and because of the motion it forces more blood into the dick... but it's not the best method... check out jackinworld.com... it's been a long time since I went to that site, but it's sort of a j/o how-to... I'm pretty sure the method I just described is listed there as a technique.
That would be a message to my NINE year old self, not my twelve year old self... thank goodness for all those weird friends I had who wanted to "mess around". Though the one that first showed me how to do it actually told me how to do it the wrong way. I didn't finally do it the normal way until a good year or two later.
Although I suppose training my left hand may have been a good idea about that time... the right one gets tired after awhile.
I think it's Paul McGann who's mostly doing the big finish audio dramas now...
As I recall there was also going to be an audio version of the never released Douglas Adams written episode and Sean Biggetstaff (of the quidditch team in the Harry Potter movies) was going to be doing some part of it.
I actually love the way opening in a background tab works in Mozilla. In Opera there's some gesture like U, D, U on the link or something. In Mozilla, I have it set so that I just middle-click and it goes in the background. That actually bothered me a lot about Opera at first. And for switching windows, I find it intuitive to gesture U, R to move right a tab or U, L to move left a tab.
Different strokes (pun!) for different folks I guess.
I really hope that the gestures they use are the same as Mozilla's. I use the gestures a lot, and if I'm ever forced to use IE, I find myself gesturing to no avail.
However, I recently tried using Opera which also has gestures capability. The problem I had is that a lot of the gestures are different than Mozilla's gestures, causing me to do Mozilla gestures out of habit without effect (or the wrong effect) inside Opera.
On an operating system level this could be problematic. What if I absent-mindedly do a Mozilla gesture, but in this operating system's gestures, it causes me to lose my work before it was saved? Or some such similar disaster.
Already I know I would have problems with the closing windows by drawing a slash through it. In Mozilla and Opera, you close it by gesturing L, R, L.
Probably the best way to avoid all these gestures getting confused with each other ("now let's see, was that for Opera? Mozilla? or the operating system?") is to develop some sort of gesturing standard that's generally agreed upon as intuitive that we all can remember and use.
Also, what if I have Mozilla installed on a system that also has an operating system gestures program installed? Which gesture takes priority when the same thing means two different things to two different programs that are monitoring the mouse at the same time?
I wonder how this applies to systems like what Audiogalaxy used to have.
You run the satellite on your PC at home, and then at work you can choose what songs to download via the website.
The satellite/site setup was also cool in that you could be at work and then tell the satellite running on your home PC to start playing a song. Good for scaring people.
Or are they just stopping to make hardware? (Yah yah, I'll read the actual article in a minute, okay?)
But I did want to say that I love Yamaha's actual CD-R's. The ones that are just silver and only have their logo really small in the center. They burn better than any other brand on my HP burner.
Hmmm... last time I tried my SegaCD games with Gens, it didn't work. Maybe it's my CD drive.
Oh well... right after I posted that comment though I thought of another more obscure Genesis add-on that I had: The Power Base Adapter!
I'm pretty sure it only fit the original model Genesis since it wrapped around the back and screwed in. But it was an adpater for the Genesis so that you could play Sega Master System games. It even had a card slot. I remember though it didn't like working with some games. As I recall, this had something to do with using a Genesis controller with it instead of an older Master System controller.
I got rid of that though when I got an actual Master System.
I remember I rented a Sega CDX from Blockbuster to try it out before actually getting the SegaCD add-on. They're cool. I kind of want to use one as my regular portable CD player.
But how do you fit the 32X on top of the CDX? I remember the 32X manual having a special note in regards to using it with a CDX and I thought that either you couldn't use it or else you had to get a special atachment thingy.
As I recall, the 32X unit by itself fit the later revision Genesis, and it came with a special ring thing to make it fit the original Genesis... since their circles on top were different sizes.
I actually got quite a few "failure" systems used for a good price and had a lot of fun with them.
My USA failure systems:
Sega Master System (with 3d glasses!)
Atari 7800 (my favorite game: Ninja Golf!)
32X (it does suck)
SegaCD (my favorite system to this day)
GameGear (it's pretty cool, I liked it a lot more than my GameBoy at the time!)
So check it out. I don't buy used systems (or even new systems) anymore... good thing too since it was getting to be an addiction.
I got a used 32X for about that much, too. I mostly use it for Mortal Kombat II.
The only 32XCD game I have is Fahrenheit, it's FMV (by Digital Pictures of course), and you go into burning houses to save people and stuff. The 32XCD version really does look much better than the regular SegaCD version (which looks like a badly dithered animated GIF).
I think there was a 32XCD version of Night Trap, which I wanted. Heck, I still want it. That game's fun. Dana Plato, we love you!
*ring**ring*"Good Afternoon... Digital Pictures." *static* UNGH!
Oh my, didn't you read that article posted her like a day or two ago about Nolan's birthday? Apparently Pong we got thanks to Ralph Baer and not really Nolan Bushnell.
One other error I found was that they implied the X'eye was a Sega creation. It was basically just JVC's version of an integrated Genesis/SegaCD unit.
I have a Genesis with both a 32X and a Sega CD added on to it (it sucks because it uses up THREE FULL SIZE AC adapters). I'm probably one of a very very few people in the world who can play the 32X enhanced version of the Sega CD game Fahrenheit.
On the other hand the 32X really does kind of suck. The only game I play on it really is Mortal Kombat II. I think the one thing it was most missing was a full Sonic game. I do have Knuckles Chaotix for it though. The problem is that the levels suck, and once you get used to the controls it takes all of about ten minutes to beat the entire game on your first try. Oh, and I hate the announcer at the beginning when I start up Virtua Racing ("Virtuuuuuuuu-uh raciiiiiiing-UH!")
One thing I wonder about my Sega CD/Genesis/32X (SegaCD in particular): what ever happened to the FMV game publisher "Digital Pictures"? I loved their little logo at the beginning of all the games.

awwwww....

hmmm... you're right... i think two and a half megahertz is WAY too much for current motherboards to handle...

So many fond memories *sniffle*
You guess quite wrong then.
An artist puts something of himself or herself into the work. It conveys emotions and ideas. There may be science in music, but there's no science behind what makes a song good or enjoyable.
You sir are a dumbass for not recognizing an obvious joke when you see one... even when it has a hamburglar reference in it... i mean, come on!
*rolls eyes*

That was my first thought, too. Some sort of special episode or something.
I have the American Series 1 DVD, and while I was in London in October I picked up Series 2 and also League of Gentleman Live at Drury Lane.
I even considered seeing the play "Art", since the three were in it (according to the Underground posters).
Damn, I love that show.

I assume it's through your or his mother (or both) that you two are cousins, or else it's doubly odd you can't spell your own last name.
Or are they just stopping to make hardware? (Yah yah, I'll read the actual article in a minute, okay?)
But I did want to say that I love Yamaha's actual CD-R's. The ones that are just silver and only have their logo really small in the center. They burn better than any other brand on my HP burner.
Or are Yamaha's discs just rebranded cheap stuff?
I really hope this sequel does well enough that they can justify continuing the miniseries further.
My favorite Dune books are Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse: Dune. The thought of seeing them really makes me very, very thrilled.
Geez.
I yawned when I read this just now. Seriously.
The song does not go "You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, and that is all that!"
Your sig should probably read "What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?" in order to make any sense.
This is me being helpful, not mean or picky.
