well they also have a 46 gb mess archive and likely most of us have dusty broken consoles in a closet somewhere, but have to download the whole thing since the links for individual roms is broken last time i checked for it. in the usa at least it is legal to download roms for cartridges you already own for backup usage. so extract your roms then delete the huge file or put it on a bluray 50 and hide it for when these files are legal.

in firefox for mobile the hamburger menu 'request desktop site' works too

in my experience you pay around $400 for a basic laptop with 1366x768 screen. you pay around $500-600 for a 1440Ã--900 and you have to switch models to get higher res and that even on a $2000 laptop you still wind up with a screen that isn't set to it's native resolution(1080p) by default.

there are a number of problems with running a 'human' intelligence on a machine. first the brain in order to be read must be from a cadaver. as it will kill any living person to be scanned to suitable levels. second computers are really good at some tasks, and are totally baffled by things people intuit naturally. now i know you said mimic the human brain but... still computers have never had to solve the problems a human does really fast. getting replaceable hardware means not perfect emulation it means using a larger physical footprint than a human brain for each node acting as parts of the brain... hardware based on being the same as a human brain means it too shall pass. which means remodeling and rebuilding the functions of all the bodies organs which the brain is looking for, it gets really hard really fast. i do not know if it will happen in 20 years.

i've had optical mice with junk that i had to clean, be it the scroll wheel or even the cavity below the mouse. it was after years of never being cleaned and without the mousepad replaced, but it can happen q-tips fix it of course except the scroll wheel which are very hard to clean. wash hands people, wash hands. all i have to say.

they said that about paper every time it's been invented, but the problem with paper is it's inability to handle too little humidity (dry rot) too much humidity (mildew etc) and it's tempting nesting site for insects that routinely eat tree leaves. oh and it's bitrate per energy put into it is atrocious especially if you throw in modern hermetically sealed deoxygenated and humidity controlled environs. but it is easy to copy, any schooled child can copy letters from one piece of paper to another. but computers are even more awesome for data sharing and copying. even if laws against it exist. but i digress. having an optical backup is fine, there are times where optical is necessary, but it doesn't prevent accidental damage of discs or make sorting them easier. bitrot detection is an underserved market. raid has it, bluray doesn't and some filesystems actively have deduplication to reduce the number of copies left undeleted are few. anyways, the best way to check for bitrot is by scanning the md5sum on them with a script that runs automatically on the server that sends out the files to the offsite and if bitrot is detected it simply requests the data from the off site storage. before it is lost.

the apostles wanted to die in the end. immortality is a bitch, all you can do is repeat experiences you once enjoyed until there is nothing worth doing.

incest in bible: Genesis 19:32-36 it's okay when the child initiates it with wine. but later in Leviticus 18:6, it is wrong and punishable by death Leviticus 20:12
also The Bible has nothing to say against pedophilia.

afterall adam was made in a day and naked and asked for a partner which was made from his rib. Genesis 2:20-22 if eve was only a day old before adam slept with her well, sorry i can't not laugh at genesis in the bible.

if china makes knockoffs of everything even smartphones they don't necessarily license android, against the law, but then the Chinese knockoffs have never cared about that before.

the problem with your 8 megapixel camera is that it saves the files as jpeg images. jpeg is a lossy compression even at 100% unless you have a DSLR that can do TIFF or RAW images you are being hampered by cheap hardware on regular cameras. if you are using a phone it is even worse than mass market cameras. if you buy a 31 megapixel camera like the nokia keep in mind it has a diffferent os than other cameras and microsoft and nokia have more experience with compressing images than stupid android or apple cameras that take awful stills below what their video capture rates because they use h.264 for video and jpeg for stills. also capturing video puts the phone processor into high speed mode meaning you get about 30 minutes of video recording. good digital cameras don't come at a cheap price. and they use a lot of cpu overhead.

there are two problems with this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet according to wikipedia stuxnet was to be self deleting in 2012 but is mentioned in TFA, and stuxnet doesn't affect linux systems at all. also the space station only uses linux for their laptops. so TFA is very poorly written and with no fact checking. scada is not based on linux either it is windows based so tfa is way off base. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCADA

if they can make smartwatches why cant everyone use NTP to sync all their clocks. or even better the atomic clock radio signal that is broadcast every day all day and all night too. people don't like DST solely on having to change clocks. automate it and they wont cry.

when i read http://xkcd.com/1286/ apparently password hints were exposed in the clear. not cool not cool...

you are way off base with your assumptions.
the problem with insurance is that adjusters can no longer simply deny the claim under ACA reforms. the law killed predatory insurance, where the fine print makes it so they can collect premiums with no intent of ever paying to the working poor who try to find affordable healthcare, and in generations past have always been burned to find out they not only had a $3000-5000 deductible and a $20,000 cap or worse. ACA was written to fix this and people say now they can't afford healthcare because before they didn't really have real healthcare. these companies have come and gone over the years, but they are all regulated out of business by ACA which defines so many rules and has the teeth to shutdown malicious predatory insurance scams.
