Added in MSIE8 and Mozilla Firefox 3.6.9, Apple Safari 4, IE8, and Google Chrome 2 are several mechanisms to defend against cross-domain forgeries.

Supported Values:

You can explicitly set this value for ApacheHTTP in the httpd.conf file, your .htaccess files or code it into the page(s) by the application itself.

Atari 2600 Emulator

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

While it was not technically a personal computer, the Atari 2600 was one of the first pieces of technology that I had experience with in my youth. I’ll likely outline the progression of machines/operating systems in a future post.

I’ve heard about Stella for quite a while, but never had any time to fiddle with it. Recently I found that Ubuntu includes an installer for it and took a chance look. Other versions are available for MacOS and Windows.

I also found a few websites that contain ROM images for the emulator and was playing some of my old games in a matter of minutes.

For those legal types out there… I actually do own the games that I played, in fact, they are currently boxed up in my basement.
