      I doubt that's worth a fifth of what he is asking. Cool stuff though.

      How does someone with 9 feedback get to list a 550,000 auction? My account is like 16 years old and I'm a top rated seller that has like a 75,000 limit.

    Has any of the AA users residing in NYC seen any of 'Banksy's artworks, let alone the man himself (and i don't mean via his instawhatsits site)

      I'm not in NYC, but I've seen a bit of it. It's a pretty small place here, so it had a lot of impact. http://hypebeast.com/2008/8/banksy-visits-new-orleans

    http://uk.news.yahoo.com/m1-cyclist-escorted-safety-police-140247950.html#mkqemdf how could this person not fail to notice that he was cycling on one of the countries major motorways, a lack of crossing points, a lack of pedestrians or traffic lights perhaps

    Sounds like Roddick and Djokovic almost came to blows http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/tramlines/roddick-almost-started-fight-djokovic-2008-us-open-092547481.html

    If god created the universe, who created god (chicken and the egg situation here me thinks), after all something had to create god in order for god to create the universe

      Andrew, I'm a scienteist and as a physician quite likely to be a lot more educated than you. Evolution is nonesnse. It is embraced by those who are desperate to explain God out of their lives, as they do not wish to submit to His will. I'm sorry you have to call people of faith "nuts", but actually your position is logically and by lack of evidence untenable.

      Doctor Tom; I work for one of the worlds' leading and most respected scientific institutions and my education is at doctorate level. I'm not getting into a "mine is bigger than yours" argument with you regarding education. I'm educated; you're educated. Great. Very poor form to try and use supposed higher education (wrong, as it happens) to validate your views. Better not to see science as a threat to your beliefs, and instead embrace truth and the wonders therein.

    Atari's original 8-bit computer line, featuring the Atari 400, 800, XL, and XE series of computers. Powerful and well-engineered...taken from the strapline in the A8 forum, me thinks that only applies to the original 2 models in the series, after that things went downhill

      The XEGS is neat, but its keyboard is awful. If all the XE keyboards are like that, I don't need another. And I wouldn't bother with changing the keys to make them less spongey.

      Yeah, but UK computed on the ZX Spectrum.....nuff said !!!!!

      I love the xegs

    I am curious as to why i keep getting spam from AT&T, especially when i ain't even based in the US and i don't think their mobiles would work in the UK (unless you jailbreak/unlock it ofcourse)

  9. carmel_andrews

    The reality of the computer industry is, there are only 2 o/s's competing in the market, the windozey camp (by microshaft) and the Linux/Unix camp (by Mr Torvolds, Apple and various)....we need more competition, Come on Atari, Commodore and Sky (who own Amstrad)...Lets see you come up with something

      The age that we celebrate here is a time that will never happen again. We're stuck with Windows and UNIX until someone comes up with something better.

    3. 55five66six

      55five66six

      I should say UNIXlike operating systems as Linux is not UNIX and Unix, other than FreeBSD or OSX is basically dead.

      Master Phruby

      It's not that someone comes up with something better, it has to be marketed correctly. Something Linux groups have never been able to do.

    AtariAge.....Does not supply identify information....interesting, but what is that about

    1. Albert

      Albert

      What?

  11. carmel_andrews

    I think Rockstar Gasmes are being a bit silly not doing a PC version of GTA 5 (considering that the games system versions are programmed on a PC), how do they know that in 7 months people will still want to buy a PC version of GTA 5

      Hatta

      Because no one pirates Xbox 360 or PS3 games?

    3. amiman99

      amiman99

      @hatta

      It's just easier, is it? And also, sold less then a million on PC, compared to X360 and PS3.

      goldenegg

      It's impossible to please everyone. Porting games between systems isn't as simple as pressing a few buttons. I'm sure a PC version will be available in the future. Why hold up the console releases for it?

    Looks like gareth bale and cristiano ronaldo are going to be the best of buddies, what with ronaldo doing a sliding tackle on bale in his first training session at RM, meanwhile Ozil can't seem to be doing anything wrong with his move to the emirates (he seems to be well liked)

    Interesting fact about the 5200, the original design spec included 2600 backward compatibility (a'la 7800 like) the 2600 mode was dropped partway into the 5200 development

    1. Yoshiatom

      Yoshiatom

      I guess they made the 2600 adaptor for the 5200 as a compromise?

    2. DoctorTom

      DoctorTom

      Atari made a load of bad decisions.

    3. Keatah

      Keatah

      These decisions were considered correct at the time. These decisions are incorrect only in retrospect.

    We just had someone famous in the chat area, Mr Eastern Front Himself (aka Chris Crawford)...He came and he went

      @Jay: I thought that was a good thing?

    3. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      Oh, it is. I was assuming "dead" meant "free of controversy", since I haven't noticed a slowdown in the number of posts lately.

    4. Austin

      Austin

      Ah, true, true. The forum seems to be about normal to me (in terms of activity), minus the controversy. :)

    just managed to nab another 2tb hard disk for under 60 squid, now i wait a couple or 3 hours for everything to copy over from my 1/2 tb drive to the new HD and use the 1/2tb drive for back up only

    1. Certifiable

      prOn takes up lots of HD space, doesn't it!

      no porn, unless you call back up iso's and tosec sets 'porn'

    3. Tickled_Pink

      Tickled_Pink

      It is to me. My 2Tb drive, which was full of TOSEC Porn, has had to go back to Hitachi. It's poorly :(

    I know that Maria sharapova is sweet, but not this sweet, jeez http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/tramlines/maria-sharapova-legally-change-her-name-maria-sugarpova-085740885.html

    Is it true that microsoft named a version of windows 8 after AA's 'Random Terrain' (RT)

    1. Gemintronic

      Gemintronic

      Controlled Randomness is why every BSOD happens. That's all the proof I need.

  21. carmel_andrews

    Rain....?, Remember that

    1. Fixitguy74

      Fixitguy74

      No, please tell me more about this 'Rain' you speak of.

    sounds like Barnes and Noble are about to bite the dust.... http://www.theatlanticwire.com/entertainment/2013/07/once-bully-barnes-noble-becomes-victim/67658/ Lets hope WATERSTONES follow suit (especially after what they did to Dillons)

    1. Tickled_Pink

      Tickled_Pink

      Interesting. Yet I was drawn to this story. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2013/07/dont-let-boobs-ruin-your-sports-dreams/67030/?oref=obinsite

       

      Boobs or no boobs? Toughie.

    Hello AtariAge, it's a-me.... MARIO

    Well done Murray for winning winbledon, hopefully we won't have to wait another 77 years for another brit to win

    1. Gemintronic

      Gemintronic

      What is this "whembulldon" you speak of? Is it another fancy European game where you sweep toilet sanitizer discs around?

  25. carmel_andrews

    Michael Jackson or Bill Cosby as 'Doctor Who'....http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/michael-jackson-was-almost-doctor-who-060139291.html

      That link would have been clickable if you would have left a space before the address.

      I wonder how valid that source really is.
