And then I read the comments…

And it completely ruins it for me.  Thanks Internet.

When I bought my first computer (mine, not my family’s)  it had an Intel MMX 200mhz processor.

My new EVO phone has a 1ghz processor, which is 5 times faster.

When I first got on the Internet, it took an hour to download ONE mp3.

Now I can stream them to my phone… from my house.  Or stream podcasts.

When I first got on the Internet it could take 5 minutes to download a picture on dial-up.

Now I can stream HD videos on YouTube  to my phone.

One of the first FPS games I bought was Doom.  I had to bare-boot my machine with a custom AUTOEXEC.BAT in order to play.

Now I can play on my phone.

ROM: Fresh 2.0d

Firmware: 2.1-update2 (freshhh)

Kernel:
2.6.29-d30020a8

I removed the HTC default lockscreen using the instructions found here.

I am using apps2sd which allows me to store apps from the Market on my sdcard instead of taking up internal memory.  I partitioned my SD card using “recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img” after rooting.

I am using ConnectBot to connect via ssh using 1024-bit encryption and connected locally.  I replaced the shell with bash and have it loaded into the app2sd partition to save space.  I can also edit the bash_profile which is located on the FAT32 portion of the sdcard.

I have WiFi Tether and a frontend for WiFi connections called WiFinder.  Both are brilliant apps worth mentioning.

And a screenshot of Duck Hunt from NESoid.  This allows you to play NES games on your phone.

Also… all screenshots were taken with ShootMe with the exception of the Duck Hunt one because NESoid has it’s own built-in screenshot grabber.

Click the policies tab and uncheck the box for “Enable write caching on the disk.”

You should also disable System Restore if you haven’t already.

If this doesn’t work you can also try editing the boot loader settings:

BCDEDIT /set {bootmgr} device boot
BCDEDIT /set {default} device boot
BCDEDIT /set {default} osdevice boot

If you wish to profit off of your blog using AdSense and WordPress you must use your own web-hosting company of choice. I highly recommend GoDaddy. They have built-in features for WordPress and other excellent features such as shopping carts and search-engine-optimization (SEO).

This site is an an example of what AdSense looks like on WordPress

I seen this at a local mall in New Jersey.  Why this Coke machine needs a computer is beyond me.  And why it’s running Windows in the first place is nothing short of sheer amazement.

For those of you who don’t know what StumbleUpon is… it is a wonderful browser add-on where you specify what your interests are and it will bring you to a random page in one of the categories you specified.  It also acts as a bookmarking site which you can access from anywhere.  You can add friends and stumble their favorites also.  It’s part bookmark part social-network.  You can also share interesting websites with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.  If you choose to install Stumble, please give this page and website a big ol’ thumbs up.

2) On the bottom left corner, click English: US.

Konami Code:
Press up,up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Enter key and magic circles will appear.

After you follow the old Konami code scroll up or down...then the circles will appear.

The only way to get rid of them are to log off or refresh the page.
