If you are in to computer hardware at all, this is one of the most interesting articles you may ever read. I read it a few years ago and it still blows my mind. I almost want to get an FPGA setup just to try it out

Great, I'm having a Baader-Meinhof phenomenon over FPGA.

I just read that the new Sega retro console uses that to accurately play back old Sega games.
