Portable Systems Performer--A Sony Playstation Portable, which, if you can have 1.5 firmware flashed to it, will emulate a whole load of systems, and, get this, can play 4 days of music on a 512MB memory stick duo in Protracker MOD format (and even more than that in 8-16 bit Video Game Music formats) Every media player that runs on a GBA flash cartridge runs full speed at 222mhz or less and gives you loads of audio (MOD, GSM, ADPCM) and video (Meteo) as well as most of the GBA's library of games.
If you use the homebrew PMP MOD AVC player you can record watchable VCD quality video and audio at 2 megabytes per recorded minute (256kbps) as opposed to a heck of a lot more wasted space (768Kbps) with the player Sony gives you.
The PSP ran every NES game I could throw at it, can emulate a Sega Genesis with frameskip 1, runs a full speed gameboy original, a SNES that tears the picture a little, a third-speed Amiga 500 (best computer ever made IMHO), and you can get an MP3 player with an oscilloscope for the easily amused. It's also an infrared remote control. Since when did your "Update" ever give you the ability to zap people's TVs while it looks like you're just playing a game?
And you can control your PC's mouse, or check on a long download that your PC's doing from the kitchen.

1. An overclocked CPU's mode of failure is usually overheating.

Get the mode of failure mug.A Pope that has or is in the process of being martyred by means of hanging by the neck with a noosed rope. Compare Christ on a stick.

Get the pope on a rope mug.A beauty pageant held in a forest, usually around the end of daylight savings time, where everyone featured is required to arrive there naked. A portmanteu of pagan and pageant (however, some pagans are less cycle-accurate and wear clothes)
"Tira and Morgana went to the pagant and almost forgot to not wear clothes." "After receiving their WICcan checks, Nefeteri and Hrothgar decided to go to the pagant to spend the money on Burger King scented incense and candles."

Get the pagant mug.Lacking the ability to be safely be heated by a microwave oven. Things that have microwaveablelessness include 12 oz. soda cans, pressurized cans of R-12, chicken eggs in their shells, sealed film canisters filled with water, dry ice bombs, mercury thermometers, electronics, and lithium-ion batteries.
Saddam learned the hard way about the microwaveablelessness of a camping propane cylinder. He almost lost his house.

Get the microwaveablelessness mug.A situation between 2 people where each is waiting for the other's task to finish, so nothing gets done. When you walk down a narrow hallway, and you go to one side so they can get by, then the other person goes to the other side, blocking you again...that is deadlock. Deadlock is also when you go shopping with your mom in a strip mall and you don't say where to meet each other, so you go looking in store A while your mom looks for you in store B, then you get the idea that she's looking in store B, so you go there at the same she decides to look in store A. Named after the computer processing term of the same name.

Get the Deadlock mug.1. A webmaster or moderator who chooses to avoid contact with every single other person simply because they had a bad experience with exactly one bad apple. Usually very lazy and refuses to answer questions about their website, or in the case of moderators, cancels/censors posts about things they disagree with just because he wants to be a jerk about it. They have very few friends, because they build a wall around themselves. Often a firewall builder takes a popular domain name and makes it a nothing site.
Don't bother e-mailing Legolas about his website, he's a firewall builder. Why are you posting praise to God to an AOL user? That's a sure way to create a firewall builder.
