  1. Indeed. It was doing alright until it started into emulation. After that, big fail.
  2. That is over 2000km north of me, just a heatwave here.. Cyclone passed over the coast at Mission Beach and Tully, and heading toward Georgetown about 400km inland, where it will still be a category 2 there. Most areas report less than expected amounts of damage, although there is no word yet from Tully or Cardwell (the next town south). Most areas from Townsville to Cairns were blacked out. The eye of the cyclone was 35km wide. We will hear more during today, it is 8:12am atm.
  3. The revolts in Tunisia and Egypt got coverage on the main television news bulletins here, so at least in this country we know of it, but obviously not as intimately as Elazul Yagami would. We heard that in Tunisia, the president said he would relax restrictions on internet and other things, the next day he fled the country.
  4. An emulator of the BBC computer. http://www.mkw.me.uk/beebem/index.html
  5. I'm not going to send it anywhere, someone would have to come here and get it. I'll probably find a needy family somewhere, or maybe donate to the salvos.

  9. Next door neighbour threw out some junk, in there was an xbox. I grabbed it, with the power cord and the video cable, and plugged it in to my TV. A green ring appeared, then a logo and it was asking for the time. I don't have any joysticks or cds, so nothing i can do with it. But it does appear to work. Since I have no interest in using it, I will give it away to someone local who would appreciate it more.
  10. Toowoomba is about 100 miles west of Brisbane, up on the mountains, with a population of about 90,000. A sudden storm and large amounts of rain caused a "tsunami"-like effect washing away cars and whatever right in the central shopping district of the town. 10 killed, including the case of a 13-year-old boy who asked that his 4-year-old brother be saved first. But before more help could arrive, the 13-year-old and his mother were drowned. The water then came down the mountains into an area known as the Lockyer valley, devastating town after town and killing more people. Some of the towns are completely destroyed. After that, the water entered the area of the Brisbane and Bremmer rivers. The Bremmer runs through Ipswich, a major town, and reached a depth of 20 metres, flooding 2/3rds of the town. The Bremmer then joins the Brisbane river and all of that came to Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland. 20,000 homes flooded, billions of $ of damage, and the water hasn't gone away yet, just dropping slowly over the next few days. Over the previous month, most parts of Queensland were flooded to some degree. An area larger than France and Germany combined was under water. A lot of this is still around. Floods also occured in Western Victoria, Eastern South-Australia, and Tasmania in the last few days. I live in a safe area, nice sunny weather here.
  11. That was a year ago, don't think he'll be back..

    Mame

    MAME doesn't work with vnc either. It uses raw-input so i'm not surprised it doesn't work with ds2key. MAME is a pain in the ass for remote control.
  13. I'd heard the PS3 was blown open but hadn't seen the details. Thanks. Now at last we can buy one with the knowledge that soon it will run anything.
  14. what eclipse...YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD US !!
  15. I saw that Heathrow airport was closed because of the snow, and temps were at -7 C. Meanwhile here today it is about 26 C, cloudless blue sky, somewhat windy. Magnificent weather.
  16. His friends put up his bail and he has been released, according to the wikileaks facebook page. The judge banned Twitter from the courtroom.
  17. Oh, today twice I have not been able to connect, firefox can't find the server. I click the try again button and it works straight away. No problem with other sites. Another thing that has bugged me for a while. Sometimes, if I use quick edit, after I click to save, it just hangs. The server timeout occured 2 more times while i was working on this and editing it.
  18. You're offered a job and you refuse. So you don't have much money, and that little you have you blow on booze and bad women. That leaves you with nothing to do. Boredom sets in. Back to the bottle. Alcohol damages the brain and liver, By the time you find out it will be too late. Think on that... while you can.
  19. While your waiting, can you change the spam question, the bots have got the current one figured out.
