See, in high school, the kinds of people who want to play LAN games have the means to do so with each other over the internet. Why should they pay you for the priveledge to do it inside the school building, a place of learning and other boring stuff? That's right, they won't. It's bulky, inneffcient, easy to break, and not a good way to introduce the staff to videogames.
What my school got away with is setting up a console game tournament. It is MUCH easier than setting up even an 8 player LAN, it's much easier to bring a GameCube and a box of games and controllers than to set up 4 PCs on a LAN. Charge a buck or two for tournament entry, have a couple freebies for the cheapskates, give a cut of the entry fees to the winner of a tournament, and watch the cash flow in. The anime club at my school (2000 students) did this a month ago and got around a hundred bucks, so don't expect to buy a new alienware box, but you could get a huge hub for the lan party you host later on.
Good luck to you, whatever games you manage to sneak into school.
Alright, I usually frown upon cracking, but someone needs to exploit these machines, and elect Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Seriously. No one in the media will give a care about computer security until something happens. If a group of counties in California go 99 percent for a pair of cartoons, I promise you that heads will roll at Diebold. And if the media doesn't pick up the story, no one will do anything about it. So, geeks of the world, go out to your polling places, and crack for democracy!
The real fun begins when Disney sues to have some of it's people put in place as president instead of mickey mouse, who was unavailable at the time.
I'm more worried about non-violent "white collar" crime than I am about petty thuggery and street crime. Computer crime is potentially vastly more dangerous than a single person with a gun could ever be.
I dunno, I'd rather lose my retirement fund then my retirement life. There's no question that computer crime is crime, but it doesn't hold a candle to violence.
What the port is lacking is hardware support: especially, ReactOS has no USB support at the moment, so it basically just sits there being pretty, because mouse and keyboard won't work.
This must be some new meaning of 'running' an OS I was unaware of.
Anyone want a 'running' Mac SE 30 with ethernet card? Drop me an email.
Theres been under an inch of snow here in Minnesota, and all of it has melted already. Average for this time of year is 7 inches, much of it still on the ground. And Minnesota could really be improved by some oceanfront property. See if they still call us flyover land when there's no where left to fly to!
In short, Rather got the story right, but all anyone talks about is the forged documents.
If your sole source of primary evidence is wrong, I don't think your story can be right. It may be right, but it is just as likely to be false, which is supposed to seperate the rumors from news. Rather messed up, regardless of your politics. The whole CBS crew can rant and rave that Bush didn't live up to his duty, but they haven't a shread of good hard evidence.
A project for kids should do one or more of the following:
Make loud noises
Give off heat or flames
Give of bright light
move on it's own
be capable of irritating your friends at lunch
So, overloading exploding LED capacitors are the answer!
so yeah, making your own motors would work, building a race car with a pair of small motors and a headlight with a wired remote to start/stop, homebuilt radio, a small generator to light a lightbulb, etc.
Lastly, be sure it's durable, cause they will be dropped and abused a lot on the way home to show mom and dad.
I have here in my hand a list of 228 patents that the Communist Linux users are in violation of! We must remove all Linux users to keep the monopoly safe!
remember those people who would claim their house was on fire or something, but stayed on IRC? Is this making a comeback to the frontpage?
Hey/. I've been having this lung trouble lately. I've passed out a couple times, and my arms have turned blue. I'm waiting for your responses, and I'll be driving to the Doctor's office next week. Thanks in advance.
I had grand dreams of going to the geek collective that was the Penny Arcade Expo, but was sadly unable. Any plans to hold another one, and if so, will it still be in the Seattle area or might you pick a different city?
And if so, do you have any powers? Do you use them for good, or for awesome?

Had some of the best dialogue I've seen on GameBoy.
"Prince Peasly sure is in a pickle. I wonder if he'll come this way"
I showed that to a friend, and he was all like: "Man, is that intentional?"
"Princess Peach's sweet voice will soon be the bread that makes the sandwich of Cackletta's desires! And this battle shall be the delicious mustard on that bread! The mustard of your doom!"
The sound effects of Mario and Luigi mumbling in italian to each other is pretty crazy too.
The minion of the main villian is quite the english speaker too. His metaphors must be seen to be believed.
Fawful: I have fury! Hah! Now taste the finale, when carelessness opens the door to a comeback not expected by you! Your lives that I spit on are now but a caricature of a cartoon drawn by a kid who is stupid. You shall all fall and vanish with your precious Beanbean Kingdom as I laugh heartily at you!
Just then, Prince Peasely appears and knocks Fawful down. (Mario and Luigi are still stunned.)
Peasely: HAH! In the finale of the finale, when negligence begets rashness, the comeback is come-back upon! Ah heh heh heh heh heh!
Fawful gets up and electrifies Prince Peasely.
Peasely: EE-YOUCH!
Fawful: I have fury! In the last moments of the finale of the finale, when relief leads to negligence that begets rashness, that is when the comeback that faltered comes back and beats your pathetic comeback that I scoff at!
I agree. We were talking about politics shortly after he announced he would concede, before his speech, and we realised the democratic party is either going to need to reinvent themselves, or fade into non existantce in favor of some New Democrat type party. (New Whig has a cool name) With the situation in Iraq being what it is, the Democrats have no excuse for blowing this. They got too of topic and started hitting on the economy, which Bush has little direct control over. Hating Republics and Christians as your party policy is a sure way to lose in the Midwest, which is typically very religious, even in left leaning Minnesota.
Democrats need to get back to the Humanitarian Aid type morals they used to have and focus much less on Abortion/Gay Rights, which it cannot win on in the Midwest. Taking care of your neighbor, all chipping in with slightly raised taxes to better schools, will go over much better than taking a hard line pro abortion stand.
The Democrats are in some serious trouble right now, they need to give up their moral crusade for the moment and take this back to education and health care, where they have a clear cut advantage to the lower/middle class. If they all realise that they make up an easy majority of the population, and they can unite to take care of themselves, stop the slow degeneration of schools and poverty, the Republicans would have no chance.
More people saw Moral Values as the most important issue in this election (which is it's own problem), so it is clear the Democrats must adapt or die.
I doubt Nintendo would sink to that level. Someone mentioned the letter didn't originate from nintendo.com, but some random law firm. This sounds like a scam to get money out of them, though maybe nintendo has outsourced their legal work and is getting this as a reward.

The 4 basic things to attract a high school male are:
1. Girls. Good luck on that one, but if you can get some girls, the guys will come if you are lecturing on the most boring thing ever.
2. Moderate Danger: If it burns, flashes or makes loud noises, you've got my attention
3: Competition. Even in something nerdy, winning is still winning.
4: Practicality: Teaching them how to put linux on a paperclip won't work. Teaching them how to make a radio is more useful in high school life.
Don't be afraid to ask around your local high school, they probably have ideas that apply more to your area.
bzkitty is not pleased.
A good start.
Seriously, folks, I'll be here all week.
Might come from the savings earned from breaking unions in the midst of the stores to keep payroll down.
I rather like this 'Global Warming' thing.
Cybersecurity demands a guy with a cybershield to keep our heads from a sploding.

What kinds of traps? Do you have to bait them with some sort of female geek bait, or will they willingly throw themselves into your traps of love?
Indeed, but there isn't much that's vague about suprnova. It's blatently a threat to their current profit making model.
I'll be here all week, folks!

man. i wish I had one of those to put in the trophy case at school. Just an @ engraved into a plaque.
Living underwater (IANACephalopod) would most likely demand diferent eyes. That is not a good argument for or against creationism.
Might not be much of a country to wake up to.
