If anyone is interested in playing the roms in /C/files/roms/sms/, they can be played with an emulator like Kega Fusion[1]. There is a decently sized collection of games...

#72My favorite is pokeglitch. Otherwise this is before my time, I've never seen 93/95/98 (my elementary school had machines running 2000 and DOS, though).
Windows 3.1 was before Windows 95.
One of my former employers was using DOS not that many years ago (well after 2000), using Novell netware for networking. I wrote a backup program (glorified xcopy script) for it, automatic patching (autoexec.bat called a script on the network drive), and a few other things.

#75Funny and, for a gag, surprisingly thorough and complete. Could you please allow closing windows by doubleclicking on the top-left(!) corner of a window? I kinda need that (e.g. this still works for the file explorer on Windows 7, even though there is no icon).
Since Windows 8 system menu icon reappeared in file explorer's titlebar.
Double clicking that button closes the window. Just tried on Windows 8.1

Well, it's a separate API that only Chrome and Safari support, and the accents are all on your computer already.
As far as I can figure out, on chrome it's just a web service -- and doesn't work on Debian Chromium as they stopped shipping google api keys (which makes sense, part of the point of using chromium over chrome is to have some measure of independence from google). Just thought I'd mention it here, in case anyone else were about to run off and try stuff like: http://updates.html5rocks.com/2014/01/Web-apps-that-talk---I…
Yeah, Chrome implements it as a web service, but Google and Apple have been slowly working on a Web Speech API for a while (I suppose Mozilla and Microsoft see it as an unnecessary abstraction when the Web Audio API could do speech-related stuff).
I think Safari has only implemented the Synthesis part of the API because it can all be done offline and rely on the system voices on OS X and iOS. Google uses their own web APIs and thus also does Speech Recognition, but it doesn't work well offline or when you don't have Google API keys within Chromium/Chrome.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who clicked on the defrag button first.
Nope! Me too. Visual defrag was the thing I was most disappointed to lose in newer versions of Windows. Not gonna lie, I was supposed to head to a party with a friend in college, but we both got sucked in watching a Win98 defrag and lost track of time.
Use UltraDefrag.

#79The bookmarks in Cat Explorer are priceless. Especially the Pr()n list... tickled my immature parts immensely. (Self-deprecating pun intended.)
