    Why is this important?

    I just discovered that there is a full Linux chipset architecture operating at half speed in the Nintendo Game Machine.

    Linux is a stable, free, open-source software solution for the enterprise and amateur users alike.

    Linux on Nintendo Game Rectangle? What next? Windows on your toaster oven? Hahahahahahaha!

  2. (OT) Video card by dimator · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    geforce 3

    A 64 MB geforce 3 card goes on sale this friday for a great price, and I wanted to get in on the deal. But then I remembered that it's a damn waste of a card on me, because A) I run linux, and B) I find coding more fun than games. It's a shame, really...

    python -c "x='python -c %sx=%s; print x%%(chr(34),repr(x),chr(34))%s'; print x%(chr(34),repr(x),chr(34))"

    Let's see ... you're comparing a video game console to an operating system. I think you're right. There IS no contenst because you're comparing apples to oranges.

    Tune in next week when we compare a discman to my pet frog.

    I Disagree!
    Apples (the fruit variety) and Oranges can indeed be compared, as this paper points out, in a scientific experiment.

    They say they'll be comparing the X-box and the Gamecube in the Part II, which is not released yet, though.

    The GameCube has been released. I know because I own one. And if you don't believe me, there was a post on slashdot talking about them being released early and another post the day it was released. :)

  6. Any hexadecimal games? by Derek+Finch · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Are there any games that display hexadecimal readout of game data? Decimal is for dinosaurs.
