    Judge gets 28 years in prison

    A judge who illegally sentenced youth offenders to sentences in privately run facilities in return for money has been sentenced to 28 years in prison. I am glad. This was a most egregious breach of trust and exploitation of vulnerable citizens in violation of their constitutional rights. It led...

    Atari 600XL

    So I found an old Atari 600xl personal computer, with the original hard drive, tape deck, printer and keyboard with all the cables. I also have a bunch of games and software for it, does anyone know much about these? I've only been able to find the keyboards on ebay, and nothing else that I...

    Zune HD or...

    Looking to get a new mp3 player to replace my Sansa e250. My wife has an Ipod Touch 4th Gen, and I'm not too fond of it (or iTunes.) So far I've narrowed my choices down to Zune HD or Cowan J3, leaning towards the Zune. Does anyone have either of these players, or would you recommend something...

    Famicom 31 in 1 pirate cartridge

    I found this going through some old family video game stuff. It's pretty cool, its a famicom cartridge that plugs into a famicom>nes adapter, and has 31 games, including some popular ones like Super Mario bros and Excitebike, as well as others that weren't released in North America. Was just...

    Gift etiquette

    So my wife's birthday is on monday, and I bought her a 32 GB IPod Touch 4G. I know they come dead, and you have to configure the wireless and then install any apps you'll want to use and transfer music and movies etc. I can't decide whether I should open it up and charge/configure it for her, so...

    F*ck cancer

    So I just found out today that my step-dad has a malignant brain tumor, so it's basically impossible to operate on. They give him about two years, with chemotherapy. My mom and him are really into new-age shit too, so they'll be wasting a bunch of money on "alternative" therapies that insurance...

    Gaming Dell fail

    So my wife bought a Dell XPS back in 2007, top of the line at the time. It had two hard-drive failures, and a network card and bluetooth die, so Dell replaced the entire thing since she also bought the extended service warranty. A couple months ago, out of the blue, my logitech wireless mouse...

    Homebrew (more) accurate DS battery meter

    To start off, I'll let you know I know nothing about programming, I just had an idea for how it might be possible to get a more accurate battery meter as a plugin for SCDS2 (don't think any other cards could support the kind of multitasking I was thinking about.) So you would need a few...

My main two are people who say "all over again" after saying deja vu. Thats what deja vu means ffs, you don't need to say all over again... grr it...

    Hot sauce

    I saw this come up in another blog, but rather derail it with discussion of hot sauce, I thought I'd create a post dedicated to it. Hot sauce is awesome. It can make anything delicious, as the Franks Grannie says, I put that **** on everything! Well, almost. Here's what I use hot sauce on, what...

    US soldiers killing for sport

    This one is going to be a lot harder for people to defend than the helicopter gunship video, which was still indefensible. US soldiers confess during questioning to throwing grenades at and shooting Afghan civilians for sport, posing and taking pictures of themselves with the mutilated corpes...

    Douchey brother-in-law

    First of all, my wife, son and I are living at her Mom's house for the summer (till the end of October) because she was able to find work in this area, and none where we normally live. So my brother-in-law came over the other day, so he could use their computer to install i-tunes and set up his...

    My NDS Metareview

    Introduction: I was never much into portable gaming. Back in the day I had a gameboy, on which I only played tetris, a GBC on which I only played Mario, and a Sega Game Gear on which I only played Sonic. I watched the Advance, Advance SP, Advance Micro, and DS Phat pass me by, while I was...

    Review 0ddity's IE 9 Beta review

    At some point, we've all used IE. And most of us just as quickly discovered the excellent alternatives such as Opera, Chrome, Firefox and Safari. It seems each update to IE since 6 was an attempt to play catch up, and in the process, ignored the problems that people had with IE in the first...

    Bass/Surround sound tests

    Just got some new headphones, Sony MDR-XD200's, and was wondering if anyone had any favorite bass/surround sound tests. I played some youtube bass tests, and the bass on this headset is amazing and I want to really test it out, but a lot of the bass on youtube is low quality/the same thing. Just...

    Hacking Fake DSTT?

    Let me start by saying I've read the FAQ, and several other fake dstt threads, but my question hasn't been answered, so I'm making another one. I bought my DSTT from gamersection.ca, because I wanted to buy from a retailer inside Canada, not China. Now I want to know if my DSTT is real. I've...

    Real things to be angry about

    I was just reading through some off topic threads, and saw the things some people thought worth complaining about (Apple press releases, really?) I was just browsing the net the other day, and I saw a few things that really made me very angry at my former country, the USA. First, the Discovery...

    Homebrew Tutorial - Yahoo Messenger on DS

    I really wanted Yahoo Messenger on my DS, and I figured there would be a homebrew version similar to BEUP. The only Yahoo homebrew is non-functional, so after much searching, I thought the only way to do it would be using web-based versions such as ebuddy on Bunjalloo. While these did work, they...

    @salazarcosplay, i think it would have been impossible to see anything in a gameboy mini
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    well I meant that as a figure of speech
  • S @ salazarcosplay:

    @LeoTCK, atleast it's still avaliable
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    yes but it wasn't meant to be a comedy thread
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    and edge of the forum is mostly comedy and games

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    on most sites mods hated me, sooner or later, but usually over time I get either banned or the mods get used to me
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    sometimes to the point of thanking me for my quick actions etc against spam and other stuff, but yea...its either they come to respect me or outright hate me
