Number of Payments: Total Cost To Own: Same as Cash Price: Delivery Zip Code: Estimated. Twelve games, one cabinet, unlimited retro gaming fun. Back in the 1990s, the MK games were ported to PC.with issues. Arcade1Up Midway Legacy Mortal Kombat Arcade Game with 12 Games. This is only good news for gamers and game developers. Regardless, I'm THRILLED that GOG.com is expanding their partnerships and beefing up their catalog. With it's over the top darkly humorous gameplay and finishing moves, Mortal Kombat became an instant classic. The monster-wreaking-havoc of Rampage was a huge hit, before leaps in live action digitising technology led to the iconic Mortal Kombat. What are your thoughts? Especially if you have already purchased the game. Midway produced some of the hottest arcade games of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Probably still a great collection to add to your library, and I may do so simply for comparison sake, but I doubt it will recreate the arcade experience. There seems to be noticeable detail missing. I don't have a lot of experience with Mortal Kombat, but I am in the midst of setting up a MAME cab with an authentic CRT arcade monitor and drivers that output native resolution, and these versions look more akin to the SNES/Genesis than arcade. Judging by the posted screenshots, I would have to say no. Crispux3: I'm just wondering if these are ACTUALLY the arcade versions of the game. If any can pass SMART, then the driver is loading correctly. You should see (depending on the enclosure, not all enclosures can pass SMART data over USB) a status of “SMART – passed” on at least one of your USB disks. You can tell if the drivers have loaded, by running SoftRAID. If Catalina detects any USB drives during the startup process, it will block these extensions from loading.ģ. This is how you allow the SMART USB driver to be loaded. Restart your computer, leaving all USB drives disconnected. This will make sure the USB driver are loaded.Ģ. Then select your startup volume, and “Reinstall SoftRAID Driver”. Go to SoftRAID disk Preferences and make sure SMART USB drivers are enabled. Unmount and disconnect all USB storage from your computer. Make sure the SMART drivers are installed. There is a way to get SMART drivers loading, but it requires you to take some steps.ġ. With the SMART driver loaded, SoftRAID can detect when a disk has a SMART status of “failed”, and can use SMART information on a disk to predict a disk is about to fail because of existing conditions on the disk that are correlated with imminent disk failures. OWC has written such a driver, which is included with SoftRAID. If you want information about a USB drive’s health, you must turn to a third-party extension to enable SMART data to be obtained over the USB bus. The SMART driver included with macOS does not support SMART over USB or FireWire devices. This is part of the enhanced security measures Apple is taking to make macOS less vulnerable to hack attempts. He previously wrote for The Daily News in Jacksonville, N.C., and the Sun Transcript in Winthrop, Mass.Catalina blocks many driver extensions from loading at startup. Maxim Tamarov is a news writer covering mobile and end-user computing. Apple also removed Python 2.7 from the beta and said developers would need to use Python 3 or another language instead.Īpple has been using the M1, M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips in most of its computers and plans to convert all of them to M1 eventually. In addition to the kernel problem, virtual machines running on M1 cannot install the macOS 12.3 beta. Until Apple fixes the kernel extension problem, macOS 12.3 testers can't open Dropbox files directly from third-party apps. People can navigate to the Dropbox folder within Apple's Finder and launch documents from there. Until then, Dropbox said there is a workaround to opening online-only files on macOS 12.3. It is also working on a version for macOS 12.3 that Apple plans to release in beta in March. The move won praise from people who use OneDrive on Apple computers.ĭropbox plans to release an Arm-based version of its software that will run on M1 chips later this year as well. Microsoft made it possible to run OneDrive natively on Apple's proprietary silicon M1, instead of through emulation, in a beta version of the app that the company released last December. The release in question, 12.3, is still in beta, and Apple will likely make changes before releasing it to the public. "There are changes that both teams are pursuing to improve the overall experience of OneDrive on File Provider."Īn Apple spokesperson pointed out that the latest version of macOS released to the public, 12.2, does not have the Dropbox and OneDrive problems. "Microsoft and Apple have been working together and have a great working relationship when it comes to File Provider," a Microsoft spokesperson said. The company said it would adopt Apple's File Driver instead in the next OneDrive update. The kernel extension OneDrive used enabled Files-on-Demand, according to Microsoft. People running OneDrive versions older than 22.0103 would also face issues running Files-on-Demand, a function used to open files within Apple's File Provider platform, Microsoft said. "Both service providers have replacements for this functionality currently in beta." "The kernel extensions used by Dropbox Desktop Application and Microsoft OneDrive are no longer available," Apple said in a blog detailing the new build last week. Apple removed kernel extensions in the beta version of macOS 12.3, causing testers running OneDrive to see the prompt "OneDrive couldn't start." Testers using Dropbox had trouble opening online-only files due to the same problem. Obviously you're not going to find the deepest examination of religion or theology in here - any film which literally climaxes in a mass orgy hasn't got the deepest of convictions. The film has an interest in the way that religions operate, both in terms of their relationship to other religions and the relationship between gods and their followers. This film shares Lasseter's idea of purpose being something external (something given to creatures, rather than something that they invent for themselves), but those giving said purpose are far less benevolent. John Lasseter once said that he tried to characterise inanimate or disposable objects in terms of their relationship to their purpose in his example, a bottle of water would be very happy when full, would get mad at people the more they drank from it, and would cease to feel meaning toward its life once it was empty. As we shall see, Sausage Party is interested in religion quite a bit - albeit not from the most academic of perspectives.Įqually, we can view Sausage Party's conceit as a parody of the Disney-PIXAR approach to character animation. The film's philosophical underpinning is animism, the idea of animals, plants and even inanimate objects having souls - a belief which, some anthropologists claim, is one of the oldest in human civilisation and the underpinning of many early religions. The idea sounds simple - it's the sort of thing that a child could imagine, given the right stimulation - but it is also one of surprising depth. The film has an interesting central conceit - namely what it would be like if our food had feelings, and how it would react to being eaten. Even if we don't like the finished product, the fact that a film this spirited and personal was made at all under the present system is something which should be applauded. This is wearing the skin of a mainstream film, but underneath it is a labour of love. Not only that, but this film cost $19m, much lower than the kind of budget which mainstream animation efforts often enjoy. Seth Rogen worked for eight years to make the film, being turned down by numerous studios and first teasing the project in 2010, three years before it was green-lit. Sausage Party is a high-concept film, insofar as it is built around one central idea, but it is not entirely high-concept in its execution. If nothing else, it's further evidence that lowbrow productions can often be as successful as ultra-highbrow outings in making us both think and laugh. Like National Lampoon's Animal House before it, it takes a subject matter which has potentially interesting political or philosophical connotations, and proceeds to explore it in some of the most delightfully tasteless ways imaginable for a contemporary audience - and all the while you find your sides splitting like one of its bananas. Not every comedy has to be as substantial as Stanley Kubrick's outings in the genre, but a comedy which does the hard work is always a welcome addition - particularly during awards season, in which comedies are so often overlooked in favour of more overtly serious but often inferior films.īy these standards, or indeed any standards, Sausage Party is a great comedy. I do not mean that the best comedy is one that will not produce laughter, but rather that a great comedy will often be able to make you think or deeply emote, feeding your head and your heart even as it makes your sides ache. Now, with the popular and critical success of Sausage Party, we should expect sausage party to fully bust out of its frat-house bro-talk and penetrate the mainstream.There is value to be found in taking a comedy seriously. And a 2010 novelty website, called Sausage Party, once measured the expected “sausageocity” of an upcoming Facebook event. Urban Dictionary enters sausage party by spring of 2003. A 2004 slang guide, Turd Ferguson & the Sausage Party, defined the term for incoming college students. In 2002, professor Connie Eble included it in her long-running Campus Slang: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill lists. One early citation-in a 1999 Bureau of National Affairs Fair Employment Practice Cases-concerns harassment in the workplace, with an employee making homophobic statements about a co-worker having a “sausage party.” Sausage party seems squeezed into its current lexical casing come the early 2000s. Whatever the case, sausage party seems to bend toward its slang usage in the 1990s. More piquant varietals include cock fest and dick fest. Sausage party, at least according to my all-too-surface analysis, beats out sausage fest, while weenie roast appears to prevail as a name for actual hot dog–serving cookouts-and perhaps because partygoing dudes would feel emasculated if they joked about showing up at a weenie roast. And s ausage party has its competitors, such as sausage fest, meat market, and weenie roast. Fortunately, picture hanging tools are quite affordable.Always store the tool and its accessories out of the reach of small children and supervise older children who want to help with the installation. Some picture hanging tools come with small pieces that may pose a choking hazard to younger children.A small hook is fine for lighter pictures however, heavier portraits require a metal wire system. Always make sure you’re using the right hardware for the weight of your picture.The folded note will catch all the plaster as you drill for easy clean up afterward. If you need to drill a hole in your wall to hang your picture, try folding a sticky note in half and place it under the mark before you drill.Place the picture on the nail and use the tool once again to make sure the picture is level. Remove the tool and hammer a nail or any other mounting equipment where you made the mark on the wall. Press the button on the picture hanging tool to mark the spot once you’re sure that’s exactly where you want the portrait to go. Next, position the picture where you’d like it to go and use the included level and ruler for accuracy.

When hanging your pictures, try to hang them at eye level.Other picture hanging tools include a complimentary mini claw hammer with your purchase. For instance, they may include hooks that have a 100-pound capacity and a pencil to mark the wall. Some units come with hooks that can hold as much as 50 pounds, steel wires, D-rings, sawtooth hangers, nails and a storage case. Look for a picture hanging tool that comes with accessories if you don’t already have a supply of hardware in your garage. The type of tool typically has both a horizontal and vertical level, a non-slip handle and three-level hooks. If you’re interested in a picture hanging tool that has a bit more to offer, but is still easy to use, go with a model made from a durable ABS material that features four scratchproof pads to keep the tool from scuffing up your wall while you use it. Not only will they help you align your artwork, but they’ll also help you evenly space a group of photos. The Crescent Creative Universal Picture Hanging Tool has one horizontal ruler with two attached vertical rulers that slide from left to right. The tool is affordable for most, and as you shop for the best one, you’ll want to consider a few important features.ĭecide whether you require a full picture hanging tool kit or a simple hanging tool. Fortunately, a picture hanging tool is all you need to install and level your portraits. It can be frustrating, however, to try and hang these items so that they don’t look crooked or out of place.

Once the patient has entered the scanning room, the doctor will help them onto the scanner table to lie down. The radiologist, a doctor who specializes in medical images, will then talk the individual through the MRI scanning process and answer any questions they may have about the procedure. Patients will sometimes receive an injection of intravenous (IV) contrast liquid to improve the visibility of a particular tissue that is relevant to the scan. Often they can be given medication prior to the MRI to help make the procedure more comfortable. Individuals who are anxious or nervous about enclosed spaces should tell their doctor.

The entire time however, Snake Eyes is nursing a burning need for revenge against whoever killed his father. He is also cheered on by Tommy’s suspicious but smitten sister Akiko ( Haruka Abe). Snake Eyes is trained by the best, including a blind African-American warrior named Blind Master ( Peter Mensah) and Hard Master ( Iko Uwais). It should be noted that the Scottish actor Ray Park previously played Snake Eyes. Snake Eyes’ act of mercy gains him a private jet flight to Tokyo and entry into the medieval-style fortress of the Arashikage clan (most of whom are suspicious of this stranger who has no past, no real name, and, though Asian, isn’t Japanese). The captive turns out to be Tommy Arashikage ( Andrew Koji), the heir apparent to leadership of a clan of protectors of Japan. When a spy is found in their midst, and Snake Eyes is ordered to kill him, he refuses, and instead releases the captive and joins him in fighting the rest of the Yakuza (there are a lot of 20-on-1 fights in this movie).

Read More: Hulk Hogan Wins $115M in Sex Tape Lawsuit, Internet Weighs In In an era when digital networks have reshaped culture, raising tough questions about sharing and prying in society, the jury got to hear two weeks of testimony in a first-of-its-kind sex tape case where discussions of newsworthiness and decency dominated. Daulerio about celebrity sex and a vivid play-by-play of the encounter between Hogan and Cole. Gawker's posting of the Hogan sex tape was accompanied by an essay from then–editor-in-chief A.J. The sex tape was sensational, showing Hogan - whose real name is Terry Bollea - engaged in sexual intercourse with Heather Cole, the then-wife of his best friend, Tampa-area radio shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge (real name: Todd Alan Clem). Hogan brought the case three years ago after Gawker, a 13-year-old digital news site founded by Nick Denton, an entrepreneur with an allergy to celebrity privacy, published a video the wrestler claimed was secretly recorded. He also noted that since Gawker published the clip in 2012, the world has “changed” and the celebrity sex tapes now seem like “artifacts from an earlier and more licentious Internet era.Weighing free speech against privacy, a Florida jury has decided to uphold the sanctity of the latter by turning in a $115 million verdict against Gawker over its 2012 posting of a Hulk Hogan sex tape. The media executive’s lengthy blog post characterizes how Bollea’s attorneys vilified his company to the jury, casting Gawker editors in the role of “deviant” bloggers peddling “Internet pornography” as their client was a victim. We want to be free to express ourselves, but are less enthusiastic when that freedom is exercised by others with whom we disagree. Freedom of expression will always be more popular in principle than in practice. It is specifically designed to protect minority opinion from majority outrage. “So constitutional issues aside, we now know that the trial was a sham from the start,” Denton said. “There is a reason why judges typically hew to the First Amendment and protect free speech from the censorious impulses of juries. Denton didn’t address that fact in his memo, but he claimed that Bollea knew he was being filmed and alleged that documents released by the appellate court - which were never seen by the jury - prove that. He said the jury was never privy to evidence proving this, but last summer, excerpts of Bollea’s racist rant were uncovered by The National Enquirer.Īny juror with a television or Internet connection could easily have learned about that, though, and the fallout that ensued for Bollea. Petersburg jury’s ruling, Denton said the whole case was waged against his company, not to “recover damages from emotional distress,” but to hide “racist language” found on another unpublished tape that threatened his career. He noted that the judges in those courts agreed with Gawker on the public’s fascination with sex tapes, which he claimed justified the newsworthy quality of the tape. (However, neither of those were jury trials.) Petersburg jury failed to hear key evidence and pointed to the fact that a state appeals court and federal judge both sided with Gawker and ruled against Bollea. The executive laid out his lawyers’ much-repeated allegation that the St. Emotion was permitted to trump the law, and key evidence and witnesses were kept from the jury.”Ģ022 Qixi Campaigns from Luxury and Fashion Brands “The plaintiff’s lawyers, with the occasional assist from our witnesses, successfully painted Gawker as representative of an untrammeled Internet that good and decent people should find frightening and distasteful. “The enormous size of the verdict is chilling to Gawker Media and other publishers with a tabloid streak, but it is also a flag to higher courts that this case went wildly off the rails,” Denton said, going on to defend the Web site’s contention that the case was a key battle in protecting media’s First Amendment rights. Petersburg, Fla., jury awarding Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan, a total of $140.1 million, after the wrestler’s attorneys argued that Gawker violated their client’s privacy rights when it posted a clip of a leaked sex tape.ĭenton called the reward “extraordinary” in size, noting that it was a “huge payday for an indiscretion that would have been quickly forgotten, one among many in the professional wrestler’s personal life.” Embattled Gawker Media founder Nick Denton took to - where else? - the Internet on Tuesday to voice his outrage over a St. |
