Nope, GBC didn't have SGB support. Those colors you see in ie Metroid 2 are selected in the GBC boot process. And that guy already dumped the SGB Boot ROM, too.
Great, been waiting for that for ages. So now we might finally get those original GBC colors for GB games in emulators (and especially the coloring for Metroid 2!).
For reference, if anyone is interested, here's the story how the original GB ROM got dumped by decapping the chip holding it and reading out the values with a Microscope: http://www.cherryroms.com/forums/copier-and-hardware-forum/manually-extracting-rom.html?page=2 (two thirds down the pge, the post by nevikisti from Wed, 05/18/2005 - 10:26). Thread itself deals with how they tried to dump the SNES DSP1 chip, but ultimately failed to do so. Currently there's some effort underway by the creator of bsnes to do the same thing: http://byuu.org/
But how else do you want to face those people than with sarcasm? Arguments? Don't forget that those are the people that believe in government death tribunals.
You realize that nuclear power is the opposite of clean energy? It creates highly dangerous/toxic waste that's dangerous for thousands, some of it even for millions of years and we still haven't found a method to either safely store it away or make it less hazardous.
I can't find any indication in this quote that people directly involved in cannibalism have gotten any important posts. The most I can find there is that people who were involved in the cover-up are still around and that leadership in China knew about it all along.
No, the given mail address itself, na.legal@square-enix.com, doesn't exist. The domain square-enix.com exists, of course. What's more, the letter doesn't resemble the one that was received by that other Chrono Trigger project and the number in the letter goes to a reception where people apparently don't know anything about that c&d notice or only know something about it when talking certain people. This is highly suspect, IMHO. Thread at romhacking.net got closed because Chrono Ressurrection team can't come up with a plausible explanation.
Come on. From what it looks like this would've been just another shitty ROM Hack that nobody really cared about until that cease & desist letter showed up. These hacks are a dime a dozen and I really don't know what the fuzz is about.
It's a ROM Hack created with a Tool called "Time Flux". They didn't even code the tool themselves. For all I care this would've been one of the thousands of other shitty ROM Hacks that get released each year, Square Enix most likely even did us a favor by sending that cease & desist letter.
Apparently this wasn't a test of x264 versus Theora at all. Instead, it was a blog post designed to debunk this incredibly awful paper that claimed H.264 had up to a 20db advantage over Theora.
But then another blogger hijacked the graph and posted it to demonstrate that Theora was now as good as x264. And away it went...
No settings is another sign of the "quality" of that article, after all it is well known what impact they have on encoding quality. It's like saying "look, there's a rotten apple and a fresh peach, so all peaches are better than apples".
If anything, the DS needs less games, so I can play all the good ones before the next generation gets released. Seriously, there's plenty of really great games around, I really don't understand where that complaint is coming from. Yes, a lot of crap shovelware gets released, too, but there still are enough good titles to keep you entertained for two console generations.
So, we're three now. Same here, I wonder that there even are people who use the streaming service. I always found the quality to be horrible, not to mention that their flash player didn't work for me at all for a very long time. I scrobble with Amarok (which also keeps track of what I have listened to and how often) and just use last.fm for recommendations - which are very useful, IMO. No idea how many bands I found through last.fm through the last year, but I'm pretty sure it's more than a hundred (I scrobbled music of 964 artists, so far).
Bollocks. *Why* should the government of Russia know about any "cyber attacks" any more than any other government? They have a magic glass ball that tells em that? Americans have no idea about who's behind most of the big botnets themselves and they invented the internet. How should Russia know any more than the US American government?
e.g. heise.de, a German publisher for IT magazines, which also offers the best informed German language IT news and a very good online magazine on society and culture, hosts all ads themselves. Blocking heise.de would mean also blocking one of the best sources for Germans on the net. Adblock (with a German blocklist), on the other hand, conveniently blocks all the ads and doesn't touch anything else. Impossible with a hosts file.
Not only that, I was mislead into believing the name was actually a clever pun... like, the album gets released when China turns into a democracy (=never).
But Dollhouse sucks on its own. It's Fantasy Island with anorexic girls.
Spot on. Together with finding the behaviour of most of the characters utterly incomprehensible I couldn't even sit through the whole first episode. I hope nobody is going to shed a tear for this pile of rubbish.
The top paragraph points out that the 60mb service has no cap.
This doesn't make much sense, IMHO. If bandwidth was actually scarce or expensive, why not cap the users that use up most of the bandwidth at any given time? One 60 MBit connection takes away as much bandwidth as four 15 MBit connections. One single paying user vs four paying users. The user who could download 30*24*60*60 MBit a month gets unlimited access while the user who can download only a fourth of that gets capped to 100 GByte. The users who take away least of the bandwidth get the lowest cap.
Well for one thing my USB DTV stick takes a looong time for a channel change, someweher around 10 sec. It is the twin han unit. Does anyone have a stick that can change channels quickly?
Entirely your sticks fault. Got a cheapass USB DVB-T Stick a while ago (was 15 EUR) and channel changing works within 1-2 seconds in Kaffeine. Noticeable, but not distracting.
I'd hack my PSP to be able to play the games I've bought without having to use those stupid UMD disks. But then (I assume) I'd lose the ability to download game demos from Sony which I find quite handy.
Oh, you'll still have that ability... they're just not called "demos" anymore.;)
I'm playing back a lot 720p x264 on an Intel T2400/Core Duo 1.86 GHz with Ubuntu without any problems. Granted, it's Core Duo, but decoders aren't optimized for multithreading, AFAIK. [...] one processor is only about 20-40% used during playback.
I'm doing so since end of 2006 when the first 720p rips from HDTV surfaced, I also don't have any kind of hardware acceleration.

So, there was no UT2? Wow. That's worse than Final Fantasy, at least that had a coherent naming scheme somewhere in the world.

Seriously, how did that drivel get modded +4, Insightful? There's nothing of substance, just trolling?
Oh, Wikipedia is dead wrong in this case. According to Google 2 + 2 equals 4.

Does anyone without a MBA get that?
Well, maybe not to someone doing research in how spam websites/networks worked around 2009... it's all in the eye of the beholder. :P
