Yeah, I figured it used proprietary discs, but I was attempting to make a (bad) joke about promised hardware that was put off for endless months.;)
I could swear though that it only came out with one game, called Doshin the Giant, a game much like today's Black and White, IIRC. Maybe it was such a miserable failure they just stopped reporting on it over here?
Silly AC, you plug it into the the 64 Disc Drive add-on device. Oh wait, those never made it out of Japan, where they had a whopping one game published for them after many months of development... Sound familiar?
Glad to see I'm not the only one who can't use an etch-a-sketch. However, in my doctor's office (his personal office, inside the doctor's office you go to to see the doctor... Yeah, the English language is dumb), he has an etch-a-sketch with a wonderful, perfect landscape drawn on it. I asked him about it and he said a guy had drawn it while in the waiting room. Now, that either tells me the guy was extremely talented, or that waiting times for the doctor are just getting longer and longer....

Isn't it ironic how it's a site for selling Linux computers but runs on a Frontpage-generated, IIS served page.
I bet it's the 5 connection version too.
I hate to break it to you, but the reason they tell you to never add water to acid is because it can cause an explosive reaction if there isn't enough water to damp the reaction, not because it burns. The burning sensation was just from you "waking up" (for lack of a better term) your deadened nerves when you splashed water on them. The burning sensation was already there, you just couldn't feel it;)
I wonder how hard it is to get an end product of biodiesel from a field of sunflowers or canola. Like, how much would refining cost be for just 5 or so acres, and how much BD/year I could get from it. I have some unused acres on the farm that could support sunflowers fairly well, if only to produce fuel for my tractor (I don't have a diesel-fueled car.) That could save me a good deal of money every year, but only if it doesn't take more fuel to grow the plants and make the oil (however the hell you do that, I have no idea how they get oil from plants) and refine it into biodiesel. Also, I wonder if it is worth my time to even try when I could instead pay $1.40 a gallon for offroad diesel.
I wonder how hackable this thing is. If it's possible to install a *different* version of Linux on it (or even Win98SE for the mostly non-Linux literate folks like me)and how fast its processor is and what amount of RAM it has. and I wonder if the extra cost would be worth all the component outputs, or if an Xbox would be better for that sort of thing... It would probably cost more and be harder to hack, but might you get better performance? Or would you be better off building your own sub-$300 PC with decent specs or even getting an Xbox for the performance/cost tradeoff?
Something I have foun that works to quit caffeine is a carbonated but non-caffeinated drink such as Sierra Mist or something similar. Just start buying it instead of your caffeinated drink and its effect is similar to one of those fake cigarettes or that Bac-Off stuff for chewing tobacco. It uses the placebo effect to make you *think* you're still getting the caffeine, when in reality you're not. Eventually you can just give up the drink altogether.
Now I can use my PocketPC to run Folding@Home. Sure, it probably won't make deadlines but every little bit brings us one step closer to curing cancer, right? And it'll give me an excuse to mess with that damn useless thing again.
I made one a long time ago and decided to put it into an altoids tin. The red button allows it to charge, the toggle switch sends power to the "terminals". Charges to 330 volts in around 10 seconds, and drops about 30 volts every time you zap someone with it. The duct tape "battery holder" gets kinda flaky sometimes though...
