Check out one of the oddest console mods we've ever seen - a NES in a shoe. It sound's weird and it really, really is. It gives portable gaming a whole new meaning.

I haven't heard all of their music but I do like the band. The sneaker is cool too.

The bible mod is still a good one.

Nice link Nexxo. I hadn't seen 2 of those before. The bible mod does look damn good. I absolutely love the nes sneaker mod though.

"getting home with the downies"

Was I the only one who was thinking bad thoughts when I read this part?

no, and they're not bad thoughts - just a logical conclusion.

I was thinking more along the lines of a dog a friend of mine had named "syndrome".

Wait, what have these comments got to do with the licensing of MS software to schools? Or have the comments been linked to the wrong article?

Darkedge · 29th Oct 2007, 14:05

Were Becta the same MUPPETS who advised Uk schools to buy Research machines kit? RM are and always were overpriced ****.

Still schools shouldn't be touching Vista AT ALL and office 2007? Use staroffice now please, save millions that way.

ignore

i doubt blocking M$ would work, so becta suggests linux?, i'd rather would see schools that teach both, yeah teach everyone the beauty of opensource, but look at the reality people, most developers with good software (including games) are on windows, rather than pushing every other ordinary joe to take the leap to linux, why not push the developers to port their stuff to linux first ? ( yeah open office , staroffice, are starters, but still, we need more

). The day I see adobe software running natively on ubuntu will surely make my day

and besides, if M$ isn't there, there wont be any competition for the opensource guys, and with most projects i've seen on sourceforge; if there aint any competition, the project stalls

Only one problem with Linux mass migration in school will have an effect as the school would have to fire its IT staff to hire Linux competent stuff which ain't cheap and i would never work for anything below 70K on Linux network. But a school could find a decent Windows tech would work for 40K easy. Also open office sucks , but i use it every day because i do the only basic task and because its free.
