yeah, I wasn't mentioning Nintendo's dongle because it is no longer being made, so you could probably only find it on ebay.-nite_monkey (November 25, 2007, 05:10 PM)

Here is the strangest thing. Every single criticism I have made could easily be managed with clear and open discussion of the problems. But homoeopaths have walled themselves off from the routine cut-and-thrust of academic medicine, and reasoned critique is all too often met with anger, shrieks of persecution and avoidance rather than argument.
I like Alcohol and use it for mounting disc images all the time. Though, I haven't required 64-bit, so I'm not sure it fits that requirement. I can't see why it wouldn't though.-Deozaan (November 24, 2007, 06:50 PM)
I for one would like some honesty for a change. Am I asking too much?-Renegade (November 24, 2007, 08:44 PM)
Zillions of Games looks really cool. Thanks for mentioning it Deozaan. I've already downloaded the demo.-tinjaw (November 23, 2007, 03:59 PM)
One guy (can't remember his name, har) is 81 years old but due to a brain infection, can't remember anything prior to about 1960. Not only that, but he's lost all ability to memorize new information, short of a span lasting hours, perhaps minutes.-Ralf Maximus (November 20, 2007, 08:59 PM)
Can you clarify for all of us geeks?It's like his RAM is fine, but there's a fault in his harddrive.-Ralf Maximus (November 20, 2007, 08:59 PM)
Note that this being a work of mathematics, nothing has been really proven. But if validated, it lays an excellent foundation for experimentation, and finally, building the Time Travel device of my dreams. I'm coming to kill you, great-great-grandfather!-Ralf Maximus (November 20, 2007, 09:53 AM)
I would hate to shatter someone's dreams, but the type of time travel you imply is probably not possible.
If it were possible, we would know it was already, from the evidence of people from the future doing it and traveling to our time or earlier. How could we not know about it going on? As humans, we are bound to blab our secrets when we shouldn't, so some time traveler would have spilled the beans about it. It's our nature. We screw things up.
The fact we have no proof in our current time that there are time travelers in the future that have visited the past, leads me to believe one of 3 things are true:
A. Time travel, of the type you imply, isn't possible.
B. Humans become extinct before they discover how to do it.
C. The evidence of time travelers is being hidden in the biggest global conspiracy/cover-up of all time.
C is a bit far fetched, because like I said...we can't keep secrets that well.
B...I don't want to think about, even if it is true...so I'll just believe in A.
Of course a 4th possibility could be true:
D. People will someday figure out how to travel to the future but never how to travel to the past. (but then that would mean one-way tickets, we would have no proof that it worked since the traveler could never come back and tell us, and we would assume it just messed up and killed him, and abandon the project before anybody else got hurt.)-app103 (November 20, 2007, 10:50 AM)

the YTMND link had been "altered" to shy people away from the link, and the subsequent imagery was NSFW (try going to the site via Digg and you'll get an idea of what we're talking about). If you're sending this to family members or just don't want to risk seeing such things, we recommend either typing the URL in a separate window or just taking a look at the full-sized comic that we're hosting at the moment.
Keep in mind however, that many laptops come with a cd that will do a clean format and reinstall of laptop hardware drivers. Unlike desktops, some laptops have specialized drivers and software that should be installed to get the most out of the touchpad, etc.-mouser (November 19, 2007, 04:41 PM)
