coolrom.com is a very good site. You just download them and then access the file in the emulator. Its easiest if you make a file for the games.

I have a question. How does one avoid the websense filter without being caught? It's a bitch not being able to surf at work...>: [

Proxy servers, provided Websense isn't blocking them already, but they change so often that it'd be a hard thing to do unless Websense is configured in a certain way.

When you're home, go here:
Free Proxy Lists - IP and Port Lists - Hide My Ass!

- Find the server locations nearest you
- Copy the IP and port of as many as possible
- Bring the list to work and set up your web browser's proxy settings with one of the IP's and port number. Try it it. If web pages don't resolve, try another one. Keep repeating until one works. It will probably work for a couple days and you'll need to find a new one.

Or you could try web-proxies, which are a lot easier in that they allow you to go to their web page and surf anonymously through it without any setup, but they usually get blocked quicker because they're around longer... For a list, go here:
Free Web Proxies

If the IT guys set up their Websense server well, you won't be able to do any of this at all. So hopefully they just simply specified certain URL's to be blocked, and you won't have much issue.

Nope, tried that, it's all blocked. I even tried to set up a remote connection to my computer but it didn't work for some reason. Apparently they know their shit. Sigh.

Yea, if they have all proxies blocked then there won't be a way to circumvent their policy short of hacking into the Websense server and adding your workstation to an exclusion list...
Maybe you can pay off an IT guy? hehe

Scroll wheel problems?

After about two weeks of annoyance due to my scroll wheel mysteriously ceasing to work and after countless product support searches I finally found a solution.

Turn the fucker upside down on the mouse pad and furiously rub the bastard back and forth at great speed.

Works a treat!

I wish that worked for everything.
Wife problems? Turn that fucker upside down and furiously rub the bastard back and forth at great speed... (That might actually work now that I think about it)

It'll definitely free her up of all the dust and fluff that's accumulated, if nothing else.

Aww that sucks.
Seems like her hard-drive just isn't what it used to be?
