A couple of weeks ago I brought my Dell Mini 1012 back into service by wiping the install of Windows 7 Ultimate and putting XP Service Pack 3 on instead. Amazingly, Dell not only still had the drivers on their site, but they still had drivers for this model FOR XP. An OS this model never officially shipped with to my knowledge.
Dropping the OS a couple of tiers not only improves its compatibility with software it can actually run, but also gained it 20 more frames per second on Quake.
The Devil's Machine is confiscated as evidence by the U.S. Bureau of Prohibition, unwittingly leading to the Bureau being erased in 1933 following an incident that the government has tried very hard to redact.
idea: Earthbound (SNES), except the party of Ness and his friends is replaced by Eliot Ness and his Untouchables. The final encounter with Heavily Armed Pokey ends anticlimactically as agents from the Bureau of Internal Revenue arrest him for tax evasion (for the riches he accumulated working under Geldegarde Monotoli). Giygas himself eludes arrest, but only because nobody can comprehend of his true form enough to slap the cuffs on him.
it is a lovely day and i have been to the dairy queen for ice cream. a rare treat because it takes about 6 miles of riding in total

I'm starting to realize, at this point, that what major media companies are doing to us in regards to rampant delisting and removal of movies/games etc. is Reverse Piracy, by _their_ definition of piracy. They believe piracy is theft? That piracy takes away from people? Then they go and take it away from everybody else.
Maybe the comparison only works when it's simplified beyond the point of usefulness, but damn it, it feels right to *me*.
Double rainbow all the way across the sky.
... What? I'm hip with the times, aren't I?

When eight-year-old Emma Glenfield wanted to know more about why magpies swoop at people, her teacher (Luke Carr) encouraged her to gather data and analyse it.
She noted that the birds seemed to target tall balding men, and created an online survey with the help of her mum. The survey went viral, with over 30,000 respondents.
The results, as shown in a brilliant Lego graph, demonstrated that the birds do target balding men more frequently (with less than 1% margin of error, thanks to the large sample size).
"According to magpie expert Darryl Jones, professor emeritus at Griffith University, it's the first time anyone has ever examined the link between magpie swooping and appearance."

The ABC article includes more details, along with this excellent Lego graph (and other great pictures).

Oh my FUCKING GOD
I finished dumping 99.99% of a very old, damaged, backup CDROM that was previously unreadable. It took 3 days and I was super excited to find what old data I put on it. The disc had UDF sessions, because that was common at the time for just Adding Files non-rewritable media.
So I mount that shit in my Windows 98SE box, and lo and behold, this is all that was on it.
I would be absolutely upset if it wasn't so fucking funny
