If this was true, then why could you stick a game genie into your system, not press down, and still get the game to work, even on a broken NES with bent or non-connecting contacts? The contacts were never the issue. the CIC lockout chip is

you didn't need to push down on the game genie, because the "push down" was to enable the CIC lockout chip. Galoob spent a considerable amount of time (and legal fees) bypassing the CIC chip. this allowed all games to run without problems o

They were addressing whether or not blowing in a cartridge fixed a problem. The same problem the CIC lockout chip was responsible for. Therefore, they were addressing whether or not ignoring the CIC lockout chip fixed or alleviated a proble

Holy crap, everyone is wrong. I didn't think I'd see this day on HN. The reason people resorted to blowing in the cartridges is because of the CIC chip. The so-called "Lock-Out" chip on the NES is responsible for the Blinking power button a

According to ESR, most FOSS developers are Libertarian-minded. Not the Ron Paul types, either; The ones that do vote overwhelmingly lean big L. While HN leans towards Socialist Liberalism overall (California, Saskatchewan), that also means

This website is important. Even in it's current stage, this is one of the long-term solutions to the main problems of FOSS. Kudos to the owner for dogfooding it.

I try to stay away from terrorists, especially "Freeman" types. "Lawful Excuse" does not mean what they think it means, and overall, the movement has been co-opted to promote vexatious litigation. Once your lien is established, You file a c

I especially liked the "Disclaimer: I don't work for the Windows Team" line. Nowhere does he say anything about Microsoft proper, just the Windows Team. Just wait, in 6 months, we'll see that Mr. Hanselman was paid for this pro-Metro blog p

What is with HN lately? All the redditors joined, and Eternal September happened. Did all the actual programmers go somewhere else?

To consider lying on a resume a cheat is to acknowledge that that there is a game being played in the first place, and that the game can be cheated. Perhaps we should discuss the fact that we have made a game (really, a LARP) out of human s

Non-Union Lawyer here. Contracts are never set in stone; all you need to do is make a new offer to this employer. Do this by sending them (CEO/CFO/Manager) a Notice. Call it "Notice of Private International Remedy Demand." (this is patio11'

This is what a market debasement looks like, ladies and gentlemen. If you can pay someone to keep Bitcoin performing poorly, you can mitigate the loss from your own failing currencies. Perhaps I'm the only one that feels this way (I almost

Interesting bit of counter-astroturfing here. If you can't make yourself look better, use pseudonymous sockpuppets to drag them down with you. I'll keep an eye out for use of this tactic in the future. Bookmarking for future reference.

If one does a cursory glance of the history of money, one will see many different currencies having a debasement period similar to this. While others will take the bait and parrot someone else's opinion that bitcoin is not a safe place to p

And this is why raganwald's flamebait is indeed flamebait; gyardley decided to run with someone else's opinion/third-hand information without researching whether or not it was true, or even in context. Which is pretty much what raganwald wa

I think I'm going to apply this to my day-to-day life. I bet I'll give out less money overall, but more money to those that need it.

PG once stated that he wouldn't fund a first-time startup founder over the age of 35. I remember reading that at 28, and saying "oh crap. I have 7 years." 5 years later, I know how to make my own money. I'm no longer worried about meeting P

You're absolutely right. forgive me. She's looking to fund a very niche market. To go after GLBT* is targeting a potentially disruptive market; to target the subset of only Transgendered people is to ignore the blue ocean the entire GLBT* c
