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?…

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 th…

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 no…

lobste.rs go there now.

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" ch…

HN's been in the trash heap for the better part of six months now. Been looking for a replacement.

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 Lib…

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 vexat…

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'…

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

^ non union lawyer. This dumbass just took his proper private process they've just acquiesced to (silence == acceptance), and made it public in such a way that obliterates his reme…

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 f…

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 "Notic…

my grandmother drank 3 pots of coffee a day for over 50 years. it did nothing to help her alzheimer's. I haven't seen any causality in this study.

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 currenc…

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 …

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 …

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…

I've had job offers that had similar language. I edited the contracts to make them true, initialed the changes, and got the other party to sign next to my endorsement. Once submitt…
