Lots and lots of world news as of late. I didn't expect Germany to win the world cup. Can't say I am surprised Israel invaded Gaza... in fact, as soon I read about the Malaysian plane crash, I pretty much knew it would coincide with an Israeli invasion (how much of it was happenstance shall remain a mystery). It's crazy how many have died with both of these stories. The story of ISIS taking over parts of Iraq only solidifies how pointless the entire war was.
Would love to know from LSD (our 1Emu veteran) what Malaysia's internal reaction to the 2nd Malaysian plane falling from the sky is/was...

Rarely for anything not linux-related, like tech support or quick questions.
I see it as a major security and privacy risk with inappropriate protections in place.
Privacy risk I can understand, considering your IP address is shown unless you got yourself some sort of botnet or proxy. But security risk -- in what way?

Was put off 64 bit for a few reasons over the past few years.
One of them was that a lot of the games had issues running in 64bit, then when I used to try my old mans rig out it always ran like shit.
Always formatting the fucker every 6 months. So Its done what I have needed it do do, but am I really gonna see any improvements over than the games running that currently wont? I browse, and game thats it really.
I doubt you will see any improvements. How much ram do you currently have in the system?
4GIG lol
Been told it will run slightly slower but will be tougher against viruses and stuff like that.
Not sure about the viruses and stuff, but you should upgrade your ram. 4GB is the bare minimum for a 64bit system AFAIK.

I noticed some of the new emulators have got IRC channels. Any of you guys still on IRC these days?
FYI: If you don't know what IRC is: it's an ancient chat system. Internet Relay Chat... popularized with the Windows client, mIRC.

Alpha I've skyped you a few times but you don't answer, I can still upload emulators if you need me to.
Fair enough. I'm not ignoring you. I just see your messages when I'm either away from the computer or asleep. I will look into setting you up ASAP.
edit: Just PM'd you an idea.

Lol yeah definitely not bipolar then lol.
And I would have to agree that this site makes me sadface at times.
The best way to increase activity in this site is with your help. I have many ideas, but only so little time throughout the week. I have never given up on this site, but sadly, my life is not what it used to be 10 years ago when I had more time at my disposal. If you want to help, please send me a PM, and I'll send you some details. Everything counts. The more we work together, the more we can really make this place explode with new blood!

No internet for a week.... it was torture.
Was it really? Perhaps it would also be the same for me, but alas, I also remember a time without the Internet, and somehow we always found a way to make the best of it.

During these 12 years that have transpired during the existence of 1emulation -- our personal worlds and life itself has changed dramatically for all of us. I've had to deal with my own personal bouts of bullshit numerous times -- to the point that I question why humans must endure so much. However, for each pain I have endured, I have conquered. I always use that energy and manifest it into positive energy. By positive energy, I mean moving past it, seeing there is always other options, slowly improving my own spirits and health, etc. etc. It hasn't been easy though.
For one - I'm not really an advocate of anti-depressants (which is the only thing Dr.'s know these days), but I do know they work for many. Second, alcohol is not something I enjoy binging on to ease the pain, which many of my friends do when the going gets tough. Third, I'm not into marijuana either, or any other drug for that matter. I guess I'd rather feel the pain at 100% than simmer it down into nothingness.
So how do you guys deal with the crap in life?

Speed Reading and Guitar. Haven't started the speed reading practice, but apparently all it takes is a good workout of your motor skills... seems like everything does actually. Check this out: http://lifebyexperimentation.com/2013/10/speed-reading/ and this http://fourhourworkweek.com/2009/07/30/speed-reading-and-accelerated-learning/
One big reason why I find speed reading incredibly important is there is just too much information out there. Especially when you add the unlimited data that is the Internet -- it seems impossible to get through the daily grind of news, books, magazines, and other written or typed pieces. For me, maximizing whatever brain I got in my skull is imperative -- be it with the ladies or processing new information.
Second thing I'm working on is learning the guitar. My goodness -- this has to be one of the most difficult instruments to learn. I remember watching a porno where the guy is just pretending to play before he starts having sex with his hot lady and it got me to realize he probably couldn't learn to play if his life depended on it. Instead of practicing the motor skills that are in my eyes for speed reading -- I'm working on my finger speed, finger strength, and callus development on my fingertips -- all of which are a major PITA. Who knew learning two of the most basic chords (C and G7) and switching between them quickly is actually very difficult?
So much mundane to get through before the fantasies become a reality.
What have you all been up to?

You think I'm lying?? Look below and weep (or laugh).
I believed you! I know you're a big fan of that OS. Still don't get though how you can keep your system running secure with it...hmmm...

Because I'm still running Windows 2000 on 0.5GHz Celeron?Why the hell would anyone use Firefox 3.6 nowadays?
Later versions of Firefox will install and run, but they are so bloated the entire machine almost freezes.
Chrome won't install, although I've heard that it will work if you hack the installer.
I have an old version of Opera installed, but it can't even display the Google logo properly.
And, of course, the infamous IE6, which is much less supported than FF 3.6 is, and has major problems with many sites.
I'm curious, how do you avoid viruses? Just yesterday governments across the globe panicked that IE has an exploit that hasn't been patched for the now defunct Windows XP. But you're on Windows 2000... so how do you make sure to keep your system secure?

Phased - My bad... we've been a little loose on rules lately. I probably should do a full overhaul of them at this point. Some of these rules were written so long ago that I have forgotten them. But yeah -- let's keep the nips and vags links only. Everything else can be shown automatically.

I ain't digging the asian girl, but the other blonde girl was mighty fine.
Just a quick note -- only link to the images and add an NSFW warning if it's got a nip in there.

Just stay away from Safari -- that shit has got more holes than swiss cheese.

Hi Dink and welcome.
I've been reading your work at Neosource and have been very impressed at the investigations and fixes which you have accomplished. Look forward to seeing more!
Of course if Neosource remains dead, you can always talk about it here instead.
Indeed. Although we would hate to see Neosource not return, 1emulation always is a home here for all neosource developers and members of the FBA family. Especially with our rising downloads section, we can definitely create a section dedicated to FBA, and have you guys upload your stuff there as well.
EDIT: Neosource appears to be back online.

http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/pro-wrestling-legend-ultimate-warrior-dead-54/story?id=23250160
For you current wrestling fans ... I bring grim tidings. The Ultimate Warrior died on April 8th, days after Wrestlemania.
Oddly enough, I recently changed my avatar to Ultimate Warrior about a week ago....
I heard about it a few hours after the news came. I truly have never felt so shocked and saddened for any celebrity in a long time. Ultimate Warrior was a marvelous character that inspired me as an individual. It has come out of his past bigoted comments, etc. -- however, (not trying to give it a free pass here) I've always known about Warrior (he legally changed his name to that) and all the crap he's said in the past few years, but the character to me and what it represented was filled with just so much positive energy that I tended to look past his political stances.
I look for the good in all people and what I saw this weekend and on Monday was a guy who genuinely seemed like a changed man, who forgave a lot of people, including Vince McMahon who was his arch nemesis for 18 years. To see him inducted into the hall of the fame, walk in with his 2 beautiful daughters, and to now know they don't have a father, and the fans don't have an Ultimate Warrior, really sucks to witness -- even if it were only on television. R.I.P.

Kinda cause for about 10 mins I was debating hitting the record button and watching it this morning. Divas match was kinda wierd but I wanted to see summer Rae win
Do you watch Total Divas? Summer Rae comes off as a bit of an ass
... -
I thought it was great although I was falling asleep when taker and Brock were fighting
The match itself sucked. Taker looked old as hell.... did you know Sting is 10 years older than Taker? Kinda sad how beat up Taker is. Then again, I feel like he brought this upon himself. He should have trained harder for the only match he does a year now.
Anyway, did you wake up when you heard Taker didn't win?

Wait for what? MAME? BTW, you got a broken picture in your siggy

Watched all of the Hall of Fame 2014 ceremony last night.... my 2 cents on the speeches:
Lita = Very boring, lacked structure, and honestly didn't really care all that much about it
Jake Roberts = Best speech of the night. Marvelous introduction by DDP (Jerry Lawler accidentally called him DDT
)Mr. T = 2nd best speech of the night. He may have said "mother" over 75 times, but it was hilarious, and very fun to watch. I thought it was a really stupid call to have Kane come out of nowhere to tell him to end the speech. Does WWE not have people in the front row to motion to the inductees that they have 5 minutes remaining, 30 seconds, etc.? It made WWE look like the jackasses with Mr. T leaving with "Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry". Not to mention, the jokes said later about Mr. T was uncalled for and again made WWE look like the bullies. SMH.
Razor Ramon = Too short of a speech. He looked like he just came back from a Florida beach tanning for several hours. Was really disappointed in this one.
Carlos Calon = Carlito's WWE jabs were hilarious and great. It made the Carlon segment... listening to Carlos speak in Spanish for 5 minutes was idiotic at best.
Ultimate Warrior = 3rd best speech of the night. Great start, but rambling end. It's as if he realized he had some extra time to get some more stuff off his chest, but just sounded scatter brained. I won't lie though and it was wonderful to see him amongst the WWE's greatest once again.

BTW, fun fact, but in the last 12 years we've had 3 IRC channels (#1emu @ EFNET, #1emulation @ EFNET, #1emu @ GameSurge), Kaillera server for MAME, FBA, PJ64 network play, GGPO server for FBA network play, Direct Connect hubs, Teamspeak server, Shoutcast/Icecast servers for 1Emulation Radio, and a bunch more I can't even remember
