Has there ever been candy in his neckbeard and you wait until he falls asleep to get it but when he is asleep you start to have second thoughts?

I remember when a sign of an awesome computer nerd was when they could do something awesome that was not only stylish, but useful.

Installing some wacky OS on a videogame machine is just retarded.

Can he run games on it as well?

Linux fanboys can't do anything but complain about non-Linux fanboys on the internet :(

Ok, whatever I might htink about Linux on a GBA, I have to admit that gutting an NES and putting components for a normal computer in it does make me smile. It's one of those nutty things that I'd like to some day, but am too lazy to learn about hardware to accomplish.

It's a damn sight more fun to see and think about than the guy who turned his computer case into an anime girl, with wire ports between her legs. >_> <p><hr /><div style="text-align:center">Image</div></p>

Let's get down to the point.

Making your hardware do things that the manufacturer wanted it to never, ever do is fun. <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

It's actually kind of easy, as Nintendo takes very few steps to ensure that unauthorized software is not run. Sony or Microsoft, on the other hand... <p>-----

Nintendo totally just made the Gamecube use minidiscs because they're cute!

Well, they are.

Plus, when they get too scratched up for play, you can make them into necklaces. <p><hr /><div style="text-align:center">dictionary.com | encyclopædia dramatica
