SNES question

rca (composite) - but I know for a fact that an S-Video cable designed for a cube works on it as well (Nintendo's been using the same video connector for a long time)

Take this Canada...(Repost from 1985)

And you think government is different from a business how? Socialized health care cuts just as many corners as an insurance company is likely to. As far as things Canada has over the US (or specifically my current location of S Korea) - poutine. I'd kill for some of that stuff right now.

$2500 to spend on a notebook - recommendations?

Your assuming a lot of things. 1. you assume that their would be a magical huge surge in adoption of osx if it wasnt tied to apple hardware -problem being this isnt necessarily the case - you're still chosing a platform by going with osx and the barriers to switching can be pricey (e.g...

$2500 to spend on a notebook - recommendations?

Releasing mac OS as a stand alone product (e.g. not tied to running on apple hardware) would kill apple as a company (outside of perhaps their consumer electronics/ipod division. The sales of hardware are what funds the development of that OS, and the majority of their non-ipod profits come...

This is what happens when there is fear of a snowball shortage in WoW

It's an NPC that's only around for the holidays. The only other way to get snowballs is to have an engineer make them, and it requires a fairly rare schematic (gotten only during this holiday or last holiday season). Plus engineers can only make 1 snowball/day per character. Now you can buy...

FYI on WoW 1.9 Patch...

One class getting an extra talent point when all of the talent trees are balanced around not being able to get a 21 point talent if you get a 31 point is game breaking. But that's just one in a long list of screwups they've had. Patch 1.8 for WoW gave tons of people huge latency issues...

FYI on WoW 1.9 Patch...

Blizzard frequently ignores bug reports from the test realms. How else do you explain a patch going live that allowed warriors to gain an extra talent point (a completely game breaking issue), when the issue was pointed out on test?

Movies in 2006

Pirates 2 looks to have potential, as the original was simply great and definitely had sequalibility I loved Gladiator, and I wish a sequal would work, but frankly it's more of a lone flick rather than a series The daVinci Code was an entertaining read (although very 'light'), and I could...

Nintendo DS or PSP?

What are these "little kid games" you speak of? What characterizes them? Please back up that statement or retract it. As far as ugly, I'll give you that - the PSP looks much more slick. But then again, part of the ugliness of the DS is due to its being built like a brick sh!thouse - it's...

Nintendo DS or PSP?

The DS has an outstanding lineup right now, that beats the hell out of the PSP lineup at the moment. In the last 6 months or so it really has come into it's own. Castlevania, Mario Kart, Nintendogs, etc. It's bringing some solid stuff to the table to be sure. However, like dguy6789 says...

Manually Control SpeedStep on 850Mhz Machine

I believe that I used it just fine with my 866 P3 based speedstep machine, but that chip might be one gen ahead of yours (it has 512k of on die L2 cache and a 133 bus).

Best joke ever.

Haha, I got a kick out of it (standard cheesy punchline, but the story was actually passable). Good for procrastinating on doing stuff.

Wisconsin != Midwest

Having lived in WI for 22 years, I can safely say that we are indeed classified as a Midwestern state.
