If you're jonesing for some retro-arcade action, download MAME, the multi-arcade machine emulator, and (since you already own the real machines, of course) download some ROMs and have fun! But.. something's missing: the right controllers. So buy some, or build your own.

Jandek, an enigmatic, reclusive "outsider" musician, has been described as "just like the Beatles... if you strip away melody, catchy hooks, rhythm, and harmony, vocal and instrumental ability, and any trace of human feeling other than dull, lingering pain." Clearly, opinion is divided on whether he's a genius or just a freak

Albinism is treated pretty unkindly by the media - pale skin and (sometimes) red eyes being equated with evil. For some people, however, albinism is part of who they are...and sometimes it can even be beautiful.

Go? What is Go? Well, if you want to join the ranks of 40-damn near 100 year old sweaty, dorky Go players in America, you can always use one of the many Go resources and find out how to play. Then, you can expand your nerdy horizons by practicing Go problems. Next, you can play other people on the internet. Finally, send in your Go games, get them rated, and take a cold shower, you stud!

When hitting the ATM machine for money to buy some shrimp scampi, a cup of chai tea, some salsa sauce, a CD-ROM disk, books about the Medieval Ages and the HIV virus, and picture postcards of Mount Fujiyama, the Rio Grande River, and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, don't forget your PIN number, as the end result will delay you for a period of time. This scenario is very unique to today's modern society and its importance cannot be over-exaggerated; please RSVP if you disagree.

Goto statements were considered harmful. Csh was considered harmful. Reply-to munging was considered harmful. <FONT> tags, the phrase "character set", recursive Makefiles, XSL, WAP, and some stuff I've never even heard of has all been considered harmful. Enough! If you hate something, just say that it sucks, already.

The online list of Marine Corps Orders and Directives is by no means exhaustive, but it contains some cause for speculation. It would come in handy, if I ever had an M1A1 Tank or needed to know how to safely dispose of explosives

Dollz, which originated in The Palace, have now taken over all of cyberspace. People offer doll bases that you can use to decorate the doll to your liking. Evil, chubby, and pregnant dollz are out numbered by designz that are supermodel slim and trendy. Naturally, this is the perfect medium to make an artistic statement about the condition of women in Afghanistan.

The Les Toil Big Beautiful Pin-Up Gallery is marvelous. Les Toil has his critics but Camryn Manheim's letter has probably made up for that. Damn, I want to be a Les Toil Girl!

Writing about drugs? The U.S. government would like to speak to you.

When it comes to keeping children from accessing potentially inappropriate internet content, most internet users agree that individual parental use of filtration programs would be preferable to the onus of government policing. But it's nowhere near an ideal solution, due to long-standing concerns about the agendas of some censorware companies, as well as the unintentional blockage of sites usually considered "family-safe" by unintelligent filtration algorithms. What's more, at least one censorware disabler exists. Perhaps there's no answer in sight, but if you want a more intensive (and less realistic) approach, there's always Guardian 2000.
