    I guess this means I'm going to be giving my English instructor a bottle of champagne instead of a research paper this Fall.

  5. Re:Gameboy player (multiplayer) on Must-Have GBA Games For Big Screen? · · Score: 1

    For most GBA games, you have to have one GBA/GBA Player per person, excluding turn-based pass-it-around games like Advance Wars 1/2. Too bad, because most of the Nintendo published games support the "1 cart, 4 players" philosophy that lets you play multiplayer with 3 other GBA owners using just 1 cartridge.

    This must be the point system Saddam's admin used.

    Make sure it has a BT848 chipset. You'll have to do some Googling for specific models that support time-shifting, I think. Anyways, here's a link to a PVR howto.

    Just keep it within the confines of your tinfoil hat, and you'll be ok. Take me for example - I wear my tinfoil hat 24/7, and I even go as far as shaving my head inside an aluminum tent.

    Don't forget the PreperationH ads during the 5:30 (Central) network news shows. Just hearing the word "PreperationH" while I'm about to eat dinner makes me want to puke.

    What if he was wanting to add more tinfoil to that already around his skull? Maybe 2 pounds of tinfoil would be enough to stop those pounding headaches. I mean, afterall he *is* the guy who cleans bird poop off the "radar equipment".

  15. Re:This is all pointless... on ESRB Ratings Add Violence Descriptors · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hey, if they're dumb enough to rate Sid Mier's Alpha Centauri 'E', they're obviously not playing the games they rate. In SMAC, you could do things like using WMD's (Nerve Gas Pods & Planet Busters).

    Sharp does provide support for Linux syncing, it's just that you have to do some Kernel patching/or/rebuilding

  18. Re:Psst Zaurus Users on Zynot Foundation Forks Gentoo · · Score: 1

    Not really. Just setup DistCC for the Zaurus, and you can let a desktop or laptop do the compiling for you via WiFi. Heck, you could even dialup to your machine with a modem for Zaurus distcc, as most Zaurus programs are less than 200k.

    Who the fuck modded this Informative? It's a troll rant - just RTFP, and you'll see parts tying homophobia and other BS into it. It's about as informative as a BSA press release.

  23. Re:I don't quite see the point on Christian Videogame Alternatives Explored · · Score: 1

    Many of the games available for the Game Boy Advance are rated \E\. Advance Wars, Wario Ware Inc, the list goes on. Most of the stuff they bitch about being in games (people bleeding from being shot, etc) are far easier to access via the local newspaper that carries AP news (ie "Bishop accused of covering up child molestation") or FM radio. Trying to shield children from reality is a flawed strategy IMHO, as it can only go to a certain age (ie 6). After that, most kids will start asking questions like, "Daddy, what's that thing Officer Baily has on his hip?....What does it do?"). It's similar to telling the masses that if they pray and give 10% of their income to thier local church, nothing terribly wrong will happen to them as long as they don't question the basis of religion, even though they've been presented with no evidence other than knowing many people who think the same thing.

  24. Re:So?? on Real Life Doom With Point-And-Shoot Positioning · · Score: 1

    It's as simple as telling them to leave their phones in their car, and if they don't have a car, put it in their locker when the get to school, and take it out when the last bell rings. Or if the students can't be "trusted" with their lockers, just let the teacher keep them in a lockable file cabinet. Of course, we all know how tolitarian and anal K-12 faculty are about rulemaking (especially 7-12!), so they'd just as soon ban them.

  25. Re:I love America on RIAA Not Done With Jesse Jordan · · Score: 1

    Then there's the high probability that Saddam and his sons are in Syria now, *possibly* along with some of the alleged WMD's. My idea of getting them out "cleanly" would be to offer Syria an aid package it cannot possibly refuse, like $4 billion presented by Dick Clark. Or just hire 400 ex-KGB/GRU "employees" to hunt them down.
