  • I'd post this in the "Stuff that makes your day" thread, but it seems too geeky. Here's my new monitor setup. The new Dell 27" and then my old 24" in portrait mode.

      • Nice!!! I thought my set up was overkill (a 23" next to a 22"), but wow...you win.

        • Dell (Japan) was having a sale and the monitor was %40 off. It was too good to pass up.

                      • Not sure where to put this. I don't think my privacy settings allowed them to get anything other than my name, but others aren't as fortunate:

                            • Coop, my son has had homebrew running for years. I think you just need to stay on top of Nintendo updates that might brick such a system, ie, don't update the system until homebrew adjustments have been released (usually just a couple of days).

                              For others, why do this? Cool game mods like speeding up Brawl, adding random pics for character faces, play dvd's (maybe you can do this with an unmodified system now, I'm not sure), write your own games. This has actually inspired my kid to learn C because there's a fun objective.

                              On ethics, besides it being pretty obvious that you should be able to do what you want with things you've purchased, the homebrew guys are opposed to copyright infringement and have even put forth a lot of effort to help Nintendo out with respect to this (they've just been pissed on for their efforts but that's beside the point).

                              • Deb, all the guy did was write a crawler and record the names and url's to the main pages of users. Not hard to do and nothing to write home about (any more than a white pages, anyway). These guys:

                                People search engine and free white pages finds phone, address, email, and photos. Find people by name, email, address, and phone for free.


                                actually did the same thing but took the time to scrape data off of the pages, property tax records, realty info, etc.
