Man DoDonpachi is one of my favorite MAME games

"I'm not a conservative. There's no such thing as a free lunch because someone's always paying for it, and a free lunch provided by government will tend to cost a lot more than lunch paid by charity."

Sounds like a generalization, and not fact. There is structure within the goverment (local, state, and federal) to over see, and keep an accurate report of funds being spent. When this number rises rapidly by unknown reasons, people examine it closely and make changes as needed. The Goverment Accounting Office, is one such cog in the workings of the machine. And yes, strange as it might sound, most charities are not as aefficient as the US Goverment when doing things. In addition, if you, the citizen dislike what is happening, you can sue the goverment (under the 1st Amendment) or talk to your representative or senator.

"Society prospers the most if individuals are free to cooperate with each other voluntarily."

Society discintigrates the most if individuals are free to kill/mame/maul with each other voluntarily. As we saw with civil rights in The South, during the 1870-1960s. The KKK ran around torching black churchs and houses, murdering people. So yes, Society can be designed for individuals, but for the purpose of destruction of some, for the betterment of others. Like the Nazis of Germany before WW2 broke out. Or the groups operating in Iraq during Saddam Hussein's time, or Iran at current.

"In a free society, an individual accumulates wealth by being productive, you can only be productive by helping others, by honestly convincing them to give you money in exchange for some service."

What planet do you spend more of your time on?

The concept of a free society, is one based entirely on philsophy and fiction. The moment reality sets in, the free society is destroyed. We Americans have MANY examples of individuals who got their wealth, not through the betterment of others, or by being honest and giving their services in exchange. No, the ones that made the big bucks did things that were neither legal nor ethical at the time. Since, to be illegal, there would have to be a legal to begin with, right? For something to be unethical, first, there has to be an ehtical standard.

J.P. Morgan did it, Bill Gates did it, Even Mr. G. W. Bush did it. Unlike the fantasy of a society you believe we live in, the reality is rather plain: We live in the Rule of Law. Laws are created and enforced, because past examples and events turn to show how people, left to their own morals (or usually lack any moral code) have unleashed misery, destruction, and predatory visions of a future on the people and land around them. Without well structured laws, this free society you claim you live in, would not exist. Laws can be created with good or bad intentions, as well ass, carried out and executed for good or bad. The President, I would bet good money on, has good intentions, and the will to make sure the law past will be for the good of America.

The concept of Health Care for all Americans is a good one. We can easily pay for it. If we can pay for Iraq ($3 trillion and climbing now...), we can pay for Health Care for 330 million people. Now, if an individual has better, or they like their health coverage, that's fine. This concept only gives people an option.

Just remeber, that unlike railroads, auto industry and even the steel industry, there is NO, anti-trust laws in effect for Health Care in the USA. That means, the health care companies could secretly pass your information between each other, and jake up the price you pay out of pocket. That's perfectly legal, even though its totally dishonest. But for-profit health care companies are just that....the least effort for the most buck. They are not there, for the betterment of mankind, only their kind. I think we saw what happens when we go easy on financial rules during the Bush Administration and Wall Street companies. Do we really need this sort of crap with Health Care?

Crapsticks. my15minutes and I re-played D2 not too long ago.. wish I'd known about this!

There are a bunch of games I re-visit. Dozens in MAME alone, but others like Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy, SMB, Zelda, Metroid. Is anyone else on the sift a speedrun voyuer? I mean I don't do speedruns myself but I love watching them (tool-assisted or not -- both types are interesting).

♥ I LOVE VIDEOGAMES! ♥

[goes to load up MAME]

Once a few nice phones supporting Google Android come out I'm definitely getting one. It's open source, anyone can make apps without approval. So lets get commodore and then MAME, and then lets point and laugh at all the iPhone users with their limited phones, that don't even support Flash

^It's a slippery slope. You let this in, next it's MAME - then how about a DS or PSP emulator?

But as I understand it these people have a license from Commodore. Nintendo and Sony would never allow a license for a DS or PSP emulator.

PS. I gave Jobs a lobe of my liver.


Letting Apple decide what is good for you as a consumer is not a good position to hold.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

You should try MK3

I actually installed MAME to check out the original game mechanics of q*bert (and thereby date myself), but when I dropped in an MK rom it was unplayable, as it had some sound glitch which was holding up every frame.

I just installed MAME, now I have to try the mortal combat rom.
