In a worthless currency
I got it for the novelty, but the actual value of the bills... I could wipe my ass on them, and that would cause them to become *more* valuable than before. |

Actually, part of the reason they're so worthless is because they're mass produced.
Oh and technically those are from before the dollar was revalued on February 2, 2009; old Z$1,000,000,000,000 = new Z$1. The old bills are still legal tender until June 30, so I will have Z$160 real money. Approximately worth $1.20 USD. Freakonomics is fun. |

It'd cost too much money to even bother counterfeiting them.
Yes I'm aware that the money was revalued; those bills are now worth Z$160 instead of Z$160 trillion. It's about $1.20 USD or something. None of this I care about. I like the novelty of having real world money in the trillions denomination. (Sorry I sound short, but I've had this conversation too many times... why is it that everything must have a good hard reason to it and it can never be "just because"?) |

This thread is purely for the games you actually own (no pirated games (incl ROMs), if it's not obvious enough). This is just for pure curiosity's sake, but it'll also be fun to see what other users have.
My list is here. You aren't obliged to use MobyGames, I just happened to have it made already; it's fine to post it straight to the board or anywhere else you maintain it. |

I've been using it for a long time now, I pretty much encourage other people to install it too, it's usually pretty easy to convince them.
Big Brother is pretty far-fetched to worry about, but when you actually know, even rudimentary, where your IMs are really being sent, it's obvious how such privacy that OTR provides helps. People mistake IMs as being as private as a face-to-face chat; short of hidden microphones, your conversation is typically only between you and the other guy, safe to speak freely about anything without consequence pretty much. IMs feel as private as a face-to-face conversation, but they aren't by nature; your message is being bounced between dozens of hosts, including the service provider of the IM (eg, AOL or Google), possible for interception by anyone without your knowledge. OTR actually provides privacy by encryption your messages with a strong algorithm which is near impossible to crack; all those hosts that it goes though can see that you are sending messages back and forth, but it is impossible to determine what the content of the messages are. That's the summary of how it works... also on another topic, I'd recommend not to tell the software that the other user is "Verified" unless you actually have a real-life method to verify such. Because OTR relies on an insecure network (the Internet) to transmit encryption keys, you can't be 100% sure that the key is not from a middleman without an external source to verify it. It's pretty easy, you can just share a common secret, such as a word or phrase, and enter it into OTR, it'll check if both of you have typed the same word/phrase :-) |

That looks like a pirate cart, but I have no idea of that
Also, where do you live? If you're in America, there's no lockout besides the plastic having a different form factor (could cut plastic on either your console or cartridge, or take out the board and put it in another American SNES cartridge...). If it's Europe, then you'd also have to watch out for differences between PAL and NTSC (most newer TVs can support both formats; non-CRTs, such as plasma or LCD, especially don't categorize as either and can take both inputs), I'm not sure if it's even possible to play an NTSC game in a European SNES. |

It's easier to fix Vista than fix Acmlmboard. |

Posted by Ailure There's a very limited set of situations where it's safe to forcibly mount the volume[1], and that's not one of them. There is a good reason the driver refuses to mount the volume when it is marked dirty. [1] Actually, it's always safe to mount read-only (the ro option), since nothing is ever written in that mode (thus "read only"), the most that could happen is some harmless reading errors due to a corrupted filesystem. |

I agree with blackhole, I want a copy of it. With source code preferably. |

oh yeah
i got a bit bored and interested in it, now I'm connected to the v6 world. |

They both swap every other year on terms of which one has better performance, and the winner's magin is always so negligible, it's not worth playing that game.
Beyond that, I choose AMD on ideological grounds; they actively support free software. Intel has some of it here and there (for a while they had the only major graphics accelerator with free drivers, but since AMD bought ATi and released its complete documentation, that's changed), but they also have messes like ACPI which do nothing but hold back the progress of computers. |

It's a giant convoluted mess that was solved in better ways decades before on better architectures. (not like it's surprising, from the mid 80s on, x86 has been quick-n-dirty hacks piled upon each other) |

Probably should have specified a bit more...
Without a native IPv6 connection, there's two major ways to get onto the v6 Internet. One is through a tunnel broker (what I used), which provides you with either a /64 or a /48 subnet (both of these are huge, and it's less common for them to hand out /48 at a whim, although you can always request them). The primary advantage to the tunnel broker is that I can keep the v6 address updated with my current dynamic IPv4 so that the v6 never changes (essentially I have a static v6 even though I don't have a static v4). There's a disadvantage of the fact that this always goes through the tunnel so it's a bit slower than my native IPv4 link. The other way is with 6to4 which requires no tunnel broker, you just use the magic anycast IPv4 address 192.88.99.1 to connect to the IPv6 Internet. You don't need any registration with anyone, you just derive your IPv6 address from your IPv4 one with a 2002::/16 prefix. if you had a v4 of 1.2.3.4, the v6 would be 2002:102:304::/48 (you always get a whole /48 with this, from there you can have up to 2^16 subnets behind your single v4 address, which can each hold up to 2^64 unique machines! another example would be 194.202.90.87 -> 2002:c2ca:5a57::/48). Speed-wise, it's similar to the tunnel except when both endpoints are 6to4; it'll intelligently just connect only over the IPv4 Internet in that case through the route a normal v4 connection would take. If you have a dynamic IPv4... well the disadvantages of that would also spread to your IPv6 address of course. I might not have explained it well enough, but heh. |

OK, so maybe you've heard of Star Trek fan films/series, and maybe you've even heard of Starship Farragut.
So despite the odds of users here even know about the first one, much less the second, I present to thee: Starship Farragut: The Animated Episodes! Animated Star Trek (I'm going to take a guess that not many here are even aware of the official series) being produced once again, by fans! This looks hilarious and awesome at the same time, although no episodes have been released as of yet, just a series trailer and a trailer for the first episode (Power Source). I can't wait to see a finished episode. |

When I read the topic I actually was thinking "uhh... the only way to send headers is in plain text". Whoops, wrong kind of headers!  |
