4x3 isn't just zoomed, the term pan and scan exists for a reason - the center of the 4x3 shifts around the original frame to the left or right, sometimes even moving during a held shot which really screws with your brain since a camera physically moving would have paralax and presumably focus changes happening during the movement First example i could find without snobbery/interviews over-explaining everything: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ETGfeSim1K4 Sentient Data has a new favorite as of 15:57 on Aug 15, 2016 |

It comes with being old and living through the times. Torrents aren't anywhere near where it began, think back to stuff like IRC bots and a few dozen multi-part files (and not even necessarily .r03 and stuff but files that were just truncated on a binary level and you had to recombine through a cli tool). There were also dozens of different types of filesharing systems/skins and of course newsgroups. Once you actually had the file, you had to figure out how to open it in the first place - programs were made whose sole purpose was to figure out what codec the file had, then from there you would have to hunt down the files to let you play that codec. There was no VLC, and for a long time there wasn't even MPC; people were stuck with multiple different video players being installed at the same time - even realmedia Sentient Data has a new favorite as of 16:04 on Aug 24, 2016 |

My old car (an 88 Chrysler) had a ton of fuse wire scattered about, so it's not limited to UK houses. And, yes, a common aftermarket change is to cut out the fuse links and splice in standard fuse holders. To check if a wire is blown, the service manual tells you to pull on both sides of the link and note if it's "stretchy". Yes, the actual 1000+ page official shop service manual from Chrysler, not the Chilton junk

You may think the first eee was crap, but just consider: it ran Unreal Tournament 99 GOTY on XP at a smooth 50+ fps without any config screwery. Sure the resolution was low (800x480?) but it was fun to do anyway. It was great for that, diablo 2, webdev stuff, and all kinds of other light-use things. Hell, they even had (admittedly small) SSDs standard before they were even an option most brands

CaptainSarcastic posted:I hate ergonomic keyboards, but I hate most ergonomic stuff in general. My preferred typing position would make an ergonomist cry. Ergo keyboards only exist because of the dumbassed home-row-centric way typing is taught in school. I have never had any speed or rsi problems on a standard keyboard, because my neutral position is roughly awerg huiol. I say "roughly" since nearly all of my fingers are on the borders between multiple keys, but you get the idea. Also, my keys are remapped: on the left side, caps is win, ctrl is caps, win is alt, and alt is ctrl. I used macs for a while and fell in love with the command key next to the space bar. Windows key finally became useful in 7 for win+arrows

The point of things like 100% cycle-accurate emulation is so that games can be preserved forever, long after the last bit of original hardware dies. PC games up to a point were relatively easy to keep alive since they run on the same architecture and usually included server software for direct connections and lan parties, but now companies are using enterprise-only servers as drm and to force upgrades a few years down the line. Even if mostly-single-player games are cracked and have server emulation, what about online-only games? I haven't looked into it for a while, but i bet there's still no 100% accurate/functional/complete vanilla wow server. Hell, even if there is (and I frankly don't see how without raiding blizzard's tape backups), are there diffs for each content/rescaling patch that was ever released? what about things like one-off holiday events? love it or hate it, wow was absolutely huge in gaming and even a little in culture as a whole, but that part of history is lost forever

I had that exact calculator and programmed a version of final fantasy 8's triple triad card game on that sucker. Two player hotseat, randomly created decks, and even saving its in-progress state since it used the list functionality as variable storage. I wish i still had that program for old time's sake. Didn't have a cable, so it was all plugged in by hand

I used windows movie maker to make one of those anime music videos, I cut up the first episode of Tenchi Muyo (where he first met Ryoko and spent the episode trying to escape from her) set to I Ran, and shared it via kazaa  If anyone still has that tucked away, upload it to youtube or something.

Because it was. Notepad was the way to make pages, and javascript only did the most basic touchup stuff and was absolutely nonessential. Sure there were things like activex plugins for page counters because people had no idea what server-side scripting was and the occasional flash video used for a site's logo because the flv was only 5kb instead of a 20kb jpeg, but it was a place of beauty. The entire internet was behind a mild gateway, and it was nice because the only real limiting factor was some base knowledge which brought everyone closer together
