  1. Quick question: Are the Shuttle X computers worth fooling with? I want to be sure I have room in this cabinet, since the change doors are a bit strange. It's gonna cost me a grand if I go this route, but maybe I can find a local builder who can cut me a better deal.

  2. Basically, it really looks like I'm going to end up with an arcade cabinet. The logical thing, I thought, would be to convert it into a MAME cabinet.

     

    If any of you have experience with this sort of thing, where's the cheapest place to get all the accessories I need? I am aware of happ, but would like to cut my cost on things like the trackball, and I am also aware of Hagstrom, and will be buying their keyboard encoder unless I can find one that does the same thing for less money.

     

    Any and all help and advice is appreciated.

  3. Seriously, just talk to your neighbor.  If they don't do anything, start peeing in their yard.

     

    I stopped reading after this reply, because nothing could possibly top this response. If you seriously did something like that and stated, "Well, that dog gets to piss wherever, so I thought it worked both ways," you have a chance of being submitted to Fark if it ever makes the news.

  4. My World History class has been studying Rome, or more specifically, the similarities between Rome and America, and we're starting to gain some of the same characteristics as pre-destruction Rome.

     

    1. The lack of the things we say we stand for.

    2. Violent sports to keep the masses from criticizing the government.

    3. A government ruled by the rich, rather than those with good ideas.

     

    And that's not all either, there're a lot of similarities. What do the rest of you think?

     

    The thing is, rich and politically-connected people have always controlled the country. It's just that they had to come up with an entire government.

     

    And I'd be interested in reading more similarities.

  5. This isn't really all that surprising. The adstinence-only program has been in effect for a while now. It was part of my Wellness class as a freshman (Which was basically P.E., sex ed, and a bunch of other related stuff rolled into one class).

     

    After the dyke gym teacher got done showing us slides and preaching abstinence in the auditorium, we went back to the gym, the other teacher (An old black man who was so cool that you literally had to be a terrorist in order to dislike him) told us about the only sex ed that he ever got as a kid:

     

    "My father took me aside when I was about 15 years old and said, 'Put a cap on it.' That was it."

     

    I think that his approach was more effective, and it didn't require any government funding or any sizable amount of class time. Sure, the slides grossed out everyone but me (Because, at the time, I was a regular viewer of Rotten, among other things), but I think more people had followed his advice by the time we were all seniors.

  6. All he really needs for entry is a length of packing tape, a wedge, and a rod. For the rod, you could use basically anything.

     

    Most importantly, and this is something money can't buy, K would need a ghetto pass, which he'd have to either earn the hard way or to let someone who already has a pass to take you under their wing.

     

    Also, move out of Louisiana. Their repo laws suck, and really need to be altered.
