The best way to learn how to program is to sit down in front of a computer with a reference handy and dive in!

That's it? Microsoft could afford to pay out several times that. Will it really put a dent in their monopoly?

A very interesting question..

Another interesting question: Who cares? :)

geeky stuff.. offensive stuff!

Yeah.. or build a computer with two or more of everything, including the bus lines.. redundant ram, etc..

Basically a computer with redundant parts that would take over if something went wrong.

geeky stuff.. offensive stuff!

Even I have a backup computer just in case mine breaks down and I can't play games.

The stakes are too high.

geeky stuff.. offensive stuff!

Who knows.. but you have to assume that they equipped this thing with a lot more RAM that they could ever forsee using

geeky stuff.. offensive stuff!

A modded alienware case perhaps?

Just goes to show how much can be accomplished with such a slow processor.

Impressive!

Does voting have anything to do with reality in a country with only two political parties?

Excuse me, but I do not drag my computer with me everywhere I go. If I'm out, say at a bar, and I see a Space Invaders arcade game, I am not going to run home to save 50 cents. GOD

Your analysis is flawed.

You forgot to take into consideration the money lost due power usage, the money lost due to the machine taking up space that could be replaced by another, more profitable machine, money GAINED by attracting nostalgic customers that will play other games, shipping costs, etc.

webmaster shirts and more

Then you, my friend, aren't a true gamer. As far as I'm concerned playing Space Invaders on a big nostalgic box *IS* an experience worth 50 cents a pop.

Who cares if the graphics aren't amazing? The gameplay is what counts. It's fun and I'm willing to pay 50 cents for it.

webmaster shirts and more

Actually, they are also coming out with a DANCE DANCE INVADERS version of the classic, which combines the nostalgia of the original with an annoying touch of the orient.

webmaster shirts and more

I'd pay 50 cents ot play this. That isn't much money at all. Who cares if the graphics aren't 3D or whatever, the game is FUN and that's all that counts!

ewwww Rush? Why would you want to ruin the game experience with Rush? :)

Seems to me like AOL is trying to pursue a strategy (at least in regards to this latest offering) similar to Nintendo's...

Charge cheap for something the user needs to use the company's products, then hope that the customer stays on board and buys more products from the company.

Will this work? I doubt it.. IMO they will lose tons of cash.. But hey, the real beneficiaries of this are the customers, so I'm all for it.

I can't.

As I've pointed out, I've got a penis.

Pets? Man..

I want a genetically engineered *girlfriend*. When can science give me one of those?

God? What does god have to do with any of this?

Your implication that god is responsible for the creation of life on this planet offends my atheist point of view.

Hey, good news everyone! I just got off the phone with the president of France and he is willing to support us by sending French troops.

Free advertising.

With the line of business their in, even ONE investor can make or break them.

Don't you see this for what it is; a PR stunt? Even if nobody buys into this on ebay, the exposure will make potential investors turn their heads.

Are you serious?

They would have to fire an insane number of people. I bet Microsoft has an entire department complete with managers, vice-managers, sub-managers, middle-managers, and vice presidents responsible for "Sparkle"

Riiiiight

That's exactly what happened with Internet Explorer and Netscape

Hold on juuuust a minute!

What exactly do they mean by "top developers at microsoft"?

Is this a group of developers microsoft has kept in hiding for all these years to be used as a secret weapon, or are these the same dolts who slapped windows together?

Flash? Sparkle? What's next?

I guess they could use tomatoes as an alternative to the patch now?

Ever heard that song by Alanis Morisette?

now THAT was ironic. because it wasn't ironic.. uhmm.. yeah!

funny geeky shirt

Yeah but by the time the XBOX2 comes out, a g5 systeam will not be as.. how should i put this.. tasty. There will be new systems out on the market that you will be drooling over instead.

funny geeky shirt

Probably a new kernel

Who knows, maybe MS will learn something about operating systems if they have to re-code one from scratch ;)

funny geeky shirt

Consumers are used to the "new console" = "new games" mentality. I doubt it will make a big impact on sales

funny geeky shirt

It's probably just some high-level deal they worked out with IBM.. I smell politics

Do you really think Microsoft cares about backwards compability? Look at their track record..

Also take a look at Nintendo; their products are rarely (if ever) backwards compatible, and it has never hurt their popularity.. Well that's a point you could argue, but I stand by it

funny geeky shirt

Maybe writing it all from scratch will teach them something about implementing a reliable operating system

funny geeky shirt

I doubt it.. Look at nintendo, none of their consoles are backwards compatible.. Although it is a point you could argue, I doubt that this had a big impact on their popularity.. I blame competition from sony and ms
