All he explained is how businesses like Walmart make more money by enacting selfish, greedy policies, at the expense of those in society who need help, because its customers and the society in which it operates are selfish, greedy people that make it the way it is. Then at the end he goes on to admit he is one of said people and is proud of it.

That article may explain why Walmart does what it does, but it does not explain why society forces Best Buy / Walmart to do what they do to make more (or lose less) money.

And economic conservatives wonder why people don't believe them when they say "all we need is the free market...if we had no government or social programs, there would be no poverty outside those refusing to work."

Blowing into a NES cart does nothing in fact you are just helping the contacts rust away and making it worse.

The problem is the DRM lock out chip and ot only worked becase you turned off the NES and reset machine and set the pin contact in a new way it would have worked if you do or not. Dust is almost never a problem unless you have left the NES and game in a sandbox.

You can remove the DRM chip in the NES and all games work it will never have that problem again.

In mine I always had to shift the cartridge a little when it was seated in the system and then it worked.

Good point except trying to bring politics into this. When life was more economically conservative, there was less liability. Right now liability in pretty much every category is only on the increase and helped by lawsuits. In a society where people don't hold themselves accountable (thus at least keeping fraud to a minimum) no system of government is going to stop fraud.
 
I had one of those. It was for my 12th birthday and my dad had to pay $150 for it! I still have the box and ROB, but the original NES is long gone.
 
I remember seeing those robots in thrift stores.... Worthless junk that did nothing for gameplay
 
LOL. We through out my old R.O.B. last fall. The thing probably still worked and maybe I should have e-bayed it but lets face it, R.O.B. as an accessory kind of sucked. The most fun we had with it was using the motor to spin up the tops and just playing with the tops. I think we kept the tops and motor.
