Buy a working JAMMA cabnet (on ebay) without a game in it. Then buy a JPAC this nifty device plugs directly into the JAMMA interface like a game board would. It converts your PC Monitor and Soundcard signals to something the monitor and speaker can play and converts your joystick movements into keyboard presses.
It is a great piece of hardware and is very little fuss.
Yes because I'm sure if china wanted to attack then saw the US building up its arms it would stop and think, gee well they certainly put an end to that.
Honestly what do you think would happen to the US if china decided to stop exporting goods. What if all the asian countries got together and stopped exporting goods? No more electronics thats for sure.
The US building up arms is just as bad for global stability as the middle east building up arms. Most countries are worried the US will attack them and other countries who are allied with the US are afraid the US will attack someone close to them and thus result in crapping up their country. South Korea is just as worried about the US attacking North Korea as the North is.
I'll let you in on a secret, other countries don't like being in this position.
Don't be so arrogant as to think the US is invincible.
This guy isn't a troll. This is an old joke that was thrown around Mac newsgroups, as far as I know it was a real post originally.
don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Mac fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac ( a 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that. In addition, during this file transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even BBEdit Lite is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 300 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior machine.
Mac addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.

Well for starters we could get rid of those violent tendancies, they don't seem to help anyone. And whats with religion? If our brains could wire themselves not to need it we'd have it made in the shade.
How about better lungs to breath pollutants, or immunity to STD's... or bigger brains to suit our lifestyle, these days physical strength is less important, we could spend a little more energy on our brains don't you think.
We are far from perfect but thats not a bad thing, it just means we have room for improvement.
The current government lies and then claims it didn't. It often does this but people believe them and keep on voting. Plus the competition was weak and people frighten easily.
Thats because your computer by default automatically resets when it gets one.
However I must say the only time I've ever had one on XP was with some faulty ram. And even more impressive the knowledge base artical about the error message was correct in telling me I had bad ram.
What I hate is the computer displaying each and every mugshot/fingerprint/image it is comparing the source image with. It would waste massive amounts of processing power to do this and would just slow the whole process down.
People will just start making mini-rips like they did with the original PSX, they just replace all the fmv with one second black clips it saves bulk space.
Average Joe: How does that work. Mathman: You wouldn't understand meer mortal. I grow weary of this conversation... away with you peasant! Average Joe leaves in disgust to talk to women. Mathman:... I'm so lonely.
Sorry it seems you are not a citizen of Australia, if you were you would understand that the story isn't about free wifi in Adelaide. The story is actually about the fact that something has actually happened in Adelaide. You see saying nothing much happens in Adelaide is like saying the hollocast was "pretty bad".
I've always wanted to know why anyone would risk changing the past, I mean if I were to go back in time and kill Hitler as a child then perhaps the world would not have had WWII which would be good in the short run but it would mean that most countries probably wouldn't figure out that having all out war is bad for everyone involved. If war was staved off for a little while and weapons got more powerful then the next war they had would be even more devistating.

I wouldn't put it past North Korea to put a giant Goatse over the whitehouse if they could.

I said the same thing, however I still bought her a diamond, from an Australian mine. That way she got her diamond and I didn't contribute to slavery.
Whats that now? Your saying Australia isn't a state of America? Thats news to us Australians.
It's a hot air balloon
How about a keyboard and a mouse? and how about the ability to download and play any game you like without the need for a modchip.
How about the ability for the rest of the family to watch tv whilst you play your video games?
Here is a slashdot counterpart:
Yeah thats nifty and all, but can you also format a floppy at the same time? Didn't think so.
I think the video phone is a suck idea, I want to be able to answer work in my underwear and slap it around a bit during boring teleconferances.

I don't know, until they can work out a way to make those damn deer stay still there is still a bit of talent in it.
And naturally because this is a linux distribution there are two competing desktop environments.

Free jumbo shrimp? Whats that like a Claw Shrimp?

Give us a solid link at least!
