Man, not a day goes by that I don't get a good laugh based on the antics of the rest of the world. This is one of the most entertaining things I've seen for a while, and by far, the most idiotic thing I've seen this year. Go team!

This however, was pretty cool. Apparently, and I'm quoting here "The original Pac-man arcade game, implemented inside a single Xilinx Spartan-3E chip on a Spartan-3E Starter Kit. None of the extra hardware on the board is used, the chip in the middle implements the complete arcade board of the original game!"

Aaand this level of nerdery deserves some kind of medal or something.

      I'd have laughed more if they blew it up, and then had to buy the guy a new one :b

        I went to Jamaica in 1992.
        I had a small radio I was bringing on and they pulled me out of line then to show them it was a working radio. I had to locate my baggage, get the batteries, turn it one, make the tape play and eveything. That was well before 911. I can only imagine flying nowadays. I'll stick to my Nike's.

          Flying these days must be hellish, especially for gadget obsessives :/

          I certainly wouldn't try and take any carry on beyond a book and appropriate paperwork these days.

    I'm not a big fan of Mac's as desktops, but they make some pretty sweet laptops. Too bad they are so damn expensive...

      Yeah.

      I'd say "You get what you pay for" but the hardware inside the things is hardly.. Hard to come by in other laptops these days.. They look nice, though.

    I actually saw several articles about the airport thing, but actually thought it was something to do with the new apple 'airport' (wireless shit) was messing with wireless routers at an Airport haha. This is much funnier.

    The Pac-Man thing is just badass.

    The punch down mod almost make me shoot coffee from my nose. That would have been helpful to know about YEARS ago. :)

      It makes me want one of the damn things so I can go fuck with the Airport security around here. It'd be so worth the missed flight.

      I'd like to do the punchdown mod, because, well. It seems like an appropriately nerdy thing to do :B
