  1. Re:Who owns Pokemon? on Nintendo Shuts Down Tool Used To Build Pokemon Fan Games (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The Pokemon Company was created by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. Those companies collectively share the copyright on Pokemon products. The Pokemon trademark solely owned by Nintendo.

    He cut his teeth on 6809 and 6502.

  3. Re:Not my problem! on Is C++ a 'Really Terrible Language'? (gamesindustry.biz) · · Score: 4, Funny

    C++ is one reason why I gave up programming and became a prostitute.

    So PHP.

  4. Re:Not Horrible, Just Mature on Is C++ a 'Really Terrible Language'? (gamesindustry.biz) · · Score: 1

    That's what Jon Blow is doing. He's aiming at game developers because game developers demand speed and efficiency and it would be good to have a lean, robust language that enables fast iteration, reduces errors with simple unified syntax, gracefully transforms data sets, and doesn't hold your hand wasting your cycles and memory..It's a high-performance general purpose language for competent programmers who know what they are doing.

  5. Re:Not "running on" on Hacker Gets Super NES Games Running On Unmodified NES (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The main difficulty is latency. He has only a few nanoseconds to put the requested data on the PPU bus but the Pi and emulator are nowhere near fast enough. That's the purpose of the imperfect prediction scheme.

  6. Re:This is about open web standards on In Blocking Autoplay Videos, Chrome Is Breaking Many Web-Based Games (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not that things change, it's that Google, with 60% of the browser market, was too cavalier with this change. They didn't appear to think about how to implement this change at all, breaking thousands of web applications, including many of their own, in non-trivial ways. The immediate knock-on effect to livelihoods of creatives who are already struggling is very real.

    I'm glad somebody here gets it.

  8. Is it already 1990? on Ask Slashdot: Do We Need a New Word For Hacking? · · Score: 1

    Time flies!

  9. Billy Mitchell's Pac-Man claim to fame is being the first to achieve the so-called "perfect game" which is the highest possible score, 3,333,360 points, achieved on the last playable level, 256. Whether or not he was the first or not, he was the first recorded by Twin Galaxies. John Birkner may have been the first to reach level 256, the book does not make this claim.

  10. A lot of smaller developers believe Steam Spy's dubious data to be useful. They are complaining loudly now because they are clueless about privacy.

  11. Mod parent up.

  12. Jesus, reading these comments you'd think there was a Biggest Dipshit Award up for grabs.

  13. Re:Good music producer on Jimmy Iovine To Leave Apple Music in August: Report (billboard.com) · · Score: 2

    The Defiant Ones documentary series of Dre and Iovine is worth a watch.

    I don't know if Thunderf00t is a misogynist but his blatant intellectually dishonesty is reason enough to ignore him.

    that's exactly why I stopped watching eevblog, it had nothing to do with electronics, all he was doing was bitching about solar roadways and opening mail for like 3 years in a god damned row

    That's actually the second rule. The first rule is not to discuss the rules.

  18. Re:Apple ][+ on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer? · · Score: 1

    Rather than reinvent the wheel, why not contribute?

    For one, doing it all myself is a greater and more interesting challenge. In addition, the subject matter has deep personal.significance.

    I've created and contributed to a lot of open source code over the last ten years; it's something I believe strongly in. But I'm doing this project for me.

  19. Re:Apple ][+ on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer? · · Score: 1

    Very much the same here if you swap the greenscreen for a TV and add Lode Runner and some Ultima to the list of games.

    I have such a fondness for that old Apple, I've spent the last few weeks writing an emulator.

    I'm struggling to find any practical applications or demonstrations of this miracle tech. The Googles do nothing. Help me out.

    All this is true plus it is just about the minimum card capable of supporting 4K resolutions via HDMI 2.0.
