That's why Adblock and NoScript alsoe helps.

I've asked this so many times over the years.. "can someone show me a site that installs a 'virus' automatically". The amount of positive answers = a big fat zero. I don't deny they exist, but they're like the Yeti.

NE146, that's cause both times it happened to me it was fixed within a few hours. Popular sites that see a lot of traffic during that time, though.

TACOCAT

it's the same, coming and going.

How about a Scat-Can?

love it!

Taco Bell = More boom in the bathroom!

Hahahahahahahahahaha! Just remembered, we've got some leftover taco dip from New Years. I better got on it! lol

I've "accidentally" done the same. I've amassed lots of pre-2005 motherboards and other components. They'll never make computing powerhouses, but they're reassuringly old and autonomous.

We are well into the era of "good enough" computing. Most new hardware sits around not knowing what to do with its own clock cycles. We're waiting for software functionality to catch up.

Skynet has noticed the same thing... Those cycles are no longer sitting idle...Also, NSA.

Maybe she's still upset over her flowers.

Probably, it always blows over.

Less likely to return home covered in glitter and regret from a tapas bar. So I vote tapas.

FALSE CHOICE

why not both?

Because! They're usually two separate establishments.

I don't always drink tea, but when I do, it's Earl Gray, hot.

Shut up Wesley

I think the entire civilized world applauded at that line.

The wife has one of those. And thankfully she's very cautious about when and where she turns AP on. Probably one of the few using it as intended if I may say so.

The article is a bit click-baity, because, it highlights 2 things in red - "burst into flames", and "Amsterdam".

The "burst into flames" link leads to something about kids vomiting in the street and Cannibis. The second point "Amsterdam" talks about sex robots being used in brothels. In Amsterdam no doubt! While I didn't click on those, hovering over the url is all-telling.

yep, been that way with cable, sat and dsl/ma bell for years too. Rackets on top of rackets.

Every last bit?

they'll be here all night, don't forget to tip your bartenders!

it's all GIGO I tell ya!

With damaged fingers after slipping on the trackball?

Also IIRC, if it wasn't for Missile Command we may not have had Ms. Pac-Man.

It's like that episode of Robotech where the bridge bunnies have to use the trackballs for the point defense system on the SDF-1. :3

@Jin: Well that's because I'm not playing it. When I play I can play it forever. That and Gyruss.

Far worse.

If you enjoy the Ataribox thread... you'll get a real big kick out of the Intellivision forum!

At least there's tacos. Lots of vitriol and (probably well warranted) cynicism, but tacos nonetheless.

Funny how people have so much to say about nothing.

i have yet to even read one comment in there.. lol

@frankodragon: In the Intellivision forum we have more than bacon and Bea Arthur...

We have snow levels and sharks too!

"The Japanese are coming. So we will become the Japanese." It worked, or MSX would have been established here.

Actually the Japanese and Chinese had problems translating their languages (and varieties of tongue) into the limited (PC) hardware of the day.

And to adopt the Western way of computing A-Z & 0-9 ASCII set would have been an affront to pride.

He was a bastard but a brilliant business man and thruthfully I don't think he ever claimed to be anything else.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Like hearing the clink of throwing a ringer.

Yeah, I too have seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. Stuff like that.

LOL! @youxia, nice one!

It was a remarkable experience of the sensitivity of CMOS. Bringing a 2x2 inch piece of GladWrap near the break was enough to set it off and prevent disconnection.

A Jedi apprentice tried to lift his ship from the swamp but failed.

Alien trying to post his dinner on facebook.

The SETI guys and gals don't seem too excited, so at this point we're probably not looking at a new Wow! signal. Still, it's good to know that there are people out there keeping their eyes and ears open. =)

We're not supposed to use the word "tranny" anymore. It's offensive to some people.

Right, Random. It's preferred to say "magical mystery gear shifting contraption."

It takes me extra effort to pronounce and say "transmission" or "gearbox". So if someone is willing to pay me extra to utilize those words I'm kosher.

Not sure we need to hear about your hookups, buddy
