God I love my immune system and genetic oddities. I'm one of the few people that has the natural genetic resistance to HIV (descendant of Black Plague survivors) and my immune system is so strong I haven't touched a flu shot in over a decade and rarely get sick to begin with.
I won't need to be rich to survive! I just keep up my filthy habits that reinforce my immune system and laugh at the rich that need medication. As George Carlin said quite accurately: "Tempered in raw shit."
Yes, I used to play in sewers, quite often. Blowing shit up and hearing the reverberations go for minutes was a fave pasttime.
...but I wonder how this would work as a hydroponics medium in place of rockwool and hydroton. I'd also wonder about potential hydrogen neutrality of human hair.
"And this was when "High-resolution" Was in the 1600x1400 range (at the time of SLI we started seeing higher)"
Nope. Not even close. Back then, with 3Dfx's SLI as it first came out, the highest possible resolution officially supported by the driver was 1024x768 in SLI mode.
And there never was a 1600x1400 monitor that I'm aware of. You mean 1600x1200? I don't think that happened back then, either, except on Professional-grade systems, as I think 1600x1200 requires a 64MB frame buffer at 32-bit, which 2 SLI Voodoo2 cards didn't have (I think that was 24 megs, 12 megs per card, so even then two Voodoo2 cards couldn't handle a 1600x1200 16 bit image.)
Umm, it wasn't because of Reagan's policies. Any policy change takes about two presidential terms before even really showing any effect nationwide. Sometimes it takes longer. Like right now we are just feeling the effects of Bush's policies, even though he's no longer in office. During Bush's term we started feeling the effects of Clinton's screwups.
So odds were likely during Reagan's presidency, it was Lyndon Johnson's policies just taking effect.
I know the exact length from my elbow to thumb crook, or from thumb crook to my shoulder. I can whip out 50ft of cable in about 7 seconds just on counting winds, move two wires for 100Mbit, slide into connectors and crimp down. It takes no time, it saves more money, and if you hired a technician with years of experience odds are you don't have to worry about that cable being screwed up or improperly made.
They don't work loose when you use a real crimping tool, instead the jack will break.
I've used Cat5e for hanging heavy stuff, and it still worked after being used as a picture hangar for a picture twice my size and a frame half my weight. And I did use the connector ends as the focal point of weight distribution.
Umm, mine's ripped from the actual Cartridge. Yes, there WAS a prototype Sonic SNES game. Maybe you should've had a subscription to Nintendo Power, as that's where it was mentioned. I got lucky and found an original from Japan.
Not worth the time spent? It takes at most 15 seconds for me to crimp two connectors onto a cable and plug it into a continuity tester to ensure it's terminated properly. That's better than the 30+ minutes it would take to go out and buy one, or waiting for an overnight emergency delivery.
"Sorry but it only takes one bad handmade cable to blow every penny you saved about 1000x over."
And this is why we have quick simple handheld testers that check the cable for continuity after you're finished crimping the ends. They cost not very much at all, 7 bucks is the best price I find so far.
How the hell is this a troll? The first usage of "CONSOLE" as applied to a videogame system was the Fairchild VES - quoting wikipedia:
"The first company to use the term "console" to officially refer to its video game system was Fairchild with the Video Entertainment System (VES) in 1976.[4] Since then, definition has widened to include entire systems, as well as to describe alternate platforms such as handheld game consoles, TV games, and multimedia devices"
This person definitely shows they're not quite old enough to know about other systems. Hell, I bet most of you never heard of the ActionMAXX, which used a VCR and lightgun. Sonic Fury, BABY!
This poster, with the 7-digit UID and the assumption that 14 years ago was the release of the first console shows that this person is far younger than most of us on this board.
This isn't a troll - this is common fucking sense. Mods need to go back to school and relearn critical thinking.
Apparently it was good enough to have a full re-release of the original series created (Dragonball Kai) plus it still outgrosses most animes and mangas in sales.
Since you're so poorly educated on the game, let me break the good stuff down for you. On the PS2, most everything is a massive wear and tear on your thumbs and the analog joysticks. Using and boosting blast attacks on the PS2 is much harder compared to the Wii - the Wii has a more intuitive control system. You want to throw a Kamehameha? On the Wii, you actually throw a Kamehameha. Should two power beams collide, on the PS2 you're bound to either break the analog sticks or give yourself thumb cramps battling to overpower, on the Wii you simply alternate the back and forth movement of the nunchuk and wiimote, same for the physical power struggles.
Maybe you shouldn't give a shit - but what you said is completely untrue and I dare you to find a better game that makes the Wiimote not a gimmick. I've got most Wii games out there (even Cooking Mama, which IS a gimmick) and DBZ BT3 is THE BEST in Wiimote usage. If they could port it over to other systems and you had a network battle between a Wii and PS3 or XBox, I'd stomp everyone not using a Wii.
In fact I'm so good the matchup system can't even find players online for me to battle any longer. In two weeks I eliminated all competition in the USA.
"I have it fully modded with linux, which affords me the ability to access my computer on the other side of the house via network and watch every bit of media on it without the waste of burning discs or the hassle of using a thumb drive"
To be fair, I have THREE Linux installs on my PS3, and emulate everything just fine from the Gameboy up to the PSX (software wrappers are more than fast enough for hardware that old) The PS2 I have still works so it gets turned on to play those games, and I've got a 10TB NAS cabinet with every known working ROM that I can collect from sites like Zophar's. I have the original SNES prototype of Sonic before Sega went ahead and made the Genesis.
And tell me, just what part of UNITED STATES LAW has any power in GERMANY, or are you so blinded with rage that you failed to read and comprehend the summary or the article?
I loved Leisure Suit Larry. See, there was a little quiz built-in before you got to first run the game, in which it asked you questions to prove you were an adult. Me, being about 7 years old when I first played it, found it endlessly amusing that I knew the answers to the 'adult questions.' I actually blew the original install diskettes because passing those quizzes was more fun than the actual game.
I'd much rather go back to jumpers over setting hardware stuff in software.:) Actually you could do that in Win95. Win95 would see the new settings reported by the card. WinME would NOT.
Oh, speaking of stuff with jumpers - anyone got an old mobo with an ISA slot? I've got an AWE32 that could pump some 12" Technics 3-way speaker cabinets, and I'd *LOVE* to get it working. Guess no modern OS has ISA support except for Linux, eh?

Evolution in action, folks. Watch closely!

I remember the Sapphire for the Digital Alpha. GLINT was nice.
God, what was that, 1995?
IOW it tries to mimic the natural behavior of a CRT monitor.

We're not behind, the Telecoms industry is purposely ignoring the US Telecommunications Act of 1996.
We need to be suing and filing for a lien on their property until they deliver what we paid for them to deliver.
How many Tri-State areas are there? I know of yours, plus AR-TN-MS.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

"rather than having the extra wire coiled up in a cable tie."
I always leave four or five service loops.
That being said, I always make my own cables. The only pre-made cables I use came with other hardware. This guy's boss is a complete moron.

Umm, 14 years? The Fairchild VES in 1976, buddy. You're too young to even speak on this subject.

I'd much prefer that to having Fuck-UROM or SafeDisc installed on my machine.
In fact that was probably one of the best forms of DRM. But now we have the internet, that means of DRM is effectively useless.

Regular people I know have no issues installing windows. At least there it gives you SOME direction.
