don't forget that you can't enjoy anonymous internet access over a cellphone either!! the payphones with phonejacks for laptops are amazing,
the hard part is finding an anonymous ISP anymore... it was so easy when there were all those free ones...
My god... my parents bought me that game 2nd hand, without a manual, I always thought that I was just too dumb to understand it... thanks for ruining my childhood atari!!!
I think that it may turn out to be something more like a signal repeater or something.. or maybe linksys just put really weak antennas in their APs so they could sell this later... we'll have to wait & see..
it's pretty hard to get the numbers right tho... at least in the experience i had with my home phone, when i had to use a touch tone only phone, on my pulse dial only line...
Well, this is definatly gotta piss the americans off,, they pretty much passed a bunch of bills to do just the opposite in their country, didn't they? on the bad side,, they're never gonna shut up about how we're "harbouring terrorists" just because we believe in true freedom...
I couldn't agree more... my local radio shack only has 2 led's in stock, both red! yet they have over 14 different joysticks & game pads! luckily, my father is an electrician, so whatever i need, i can get him to order me thruogh wholesalers, i need to buy a bulk pack most the time, but hey, it never hurts to have extra's, right!:)
My sympathy to both of you,, i've been rather lucky in the sense that my grandfather also knows a moderate amount about computers, so they usually go to him 1st,, but i still have to deal with my parent's "how do i install office XP?" (on a pent. 90mhz!) and the classic, "It stopped working" and "why did it crash", i've recently accredited much of the latter to the fact the heat sink was from a 486 and was attached with a piece of telephone wire (my dad's doing... he's an electrician), i think i'm going insane from my mom asking how to print,,, ahhh! bad memories,, they also "Forced" me to sell them all my old PC equipment (celeron 800, complete system, 512 mb ram, etc etc) for $20 when i upgraded, because "they pay for my food, and shelter!", if my whole family was like this to me, i probably would have commited suicide long ago,, i feel sorry for everyone with this curse / gift...
Techncially, the new displays are more like dumb terminals than regular displays, because the displays are connected to your PC, put it all togtehr, you have a PC, this is more like a wireless graphical dumb terminal attached to your PC...
I have one of these, from a local store that closed,, it came along with other things, i never really thought of it's use until now though, i'm sure you could easily make some brakets that do the same thing,,,
futty, that was the first thing i thought of too, "so let's see, i only have 8 hours to copy the disc now??" i usually make my backups/copies as soon as i get the cd anyways,, this after i've had several CD destroyed less than 3 hours after getting them...

Reece,

Reece,
well, to be exact,, it has a res. of 852x480... which some games do support.
Reece,
Note that it does have SCSI, IDE, and USB,, all of which could be used to connect an flash memory or hdd. the 2mb is mostly just for the vital OS...

Obviosly with the same invisible money they pay for their election campaign with!!
Reece,
Geez, they'd have to be pretty desperate to wanna own this chunk of ice...
Reece,
Let's just say, that unless you have some very odd fetish, you may regret clicking it!!

Reece,
my response,, "Well, it must be dead,, you'll have to buy a now one!!!" seems to work so far,,
Reece,
that is, unlees you want to install hardware that is less than 4 years old, OR greater than 5 years old,,,
Reece,
As long as they added a " last login at: " and " x failed logins" when ever you legged in, i can't see it being too much of a prob.
...and 2 PC's is even better than 2 OS's,

Reece,
hrm,, okay!! several concentrators!!! :)
Reece,
I see, i was thinking more of a player that would remove the protection, so the recorder wouldn't care... either way should work just fine really,
Reece,
in store?? or on websites? i've seen a number of sites selling prehacked players,,
Reece,
And at the same time,, you could pump your room full of oxygen :D, how much do these "concentrators" cost? where can i buy one??
