I have an ECS, sans music keyboard for my Intellivision. Unfortunately I bought the system a couple of months after the last Intellicart was sold, so I missed out.
He means there is a half-size piece in the center, and two quarter-sized pieces on each side, that can fold in to cover the half-size. His nomenclature assumes that the center piece is equivalent to a 'full sized' display, and the two 'wings' are half-sized, and on either side.
Thank you, yes I do. My post was easily mis-interpreted because my first look at a folding LCD screen kind of thing treated each page as a separate Windows monitor. Ideally, the best folding screen I could imagine would be 400x900:800x900:400x900.
The center is so important in games -- it's where my Diablo II character always is. I'd prefer two half-sized peices either side than a fold in the middle
That actress is so unattractive, I don't even want know her damn name.
Carrie-Anne Moss. And I find her to be quite attractive, even though I'm not usually a fan of short hair. The last character I really felt pulled it off was Amanda from Highlander: The Raven. Mind you, the characters have some similar traits, so maybe I'm attracted to something else.
To those that are still buying RIAA music or MPAA movies, how does it feel to be part of the problem, jerk?
Meanwhile, small music store businesses with owners that got into it because they enjoyed music are being nailed to the wall. It's not as simple as you make it look.
expressed confidence that the system's fortunes would turn around by the time its successor, the so-called Xbox 2
So, he expects sales of the first generation device to increase as the second generation device gets near release. Which mirror universe is this guy from?
Remember that earlier article about slow boardband pickup in Australia? Well, because of it on-line gaming on the whole is pretty quiet here. As far as I know, since the Dreamcast on-line experience was ballsed-up so badly, no one has dared try again with consoles.
If laws like this continue to be passed it will be impossible to be part of society without breaking laws on a regular basis. Rather that deciding not to break any laws, people will be forced to break some just to stay social and/or compeditive.
I'm sure that's how most people behave at the moment, but I like to think that I am, on the whole, law abiding. This is unwanted.
Laws like this are not only draconian, but confusing. How long will it be before someone pleads "I don't know" at a court hearing because they truely have no idea if they broke the law or not? How much longer before a judge dismisses a tech case because the law is simply unintelligible?
Someone who really enjoys your work draws one of your characters on a scrap of paper, as bit of fun. Do you stop them?

Could be a good way to put together an OS X box on the cheap.
Why would you bother? Macs are such nice computers, why would you want to attempt a witebox version that was pretty much made up of the same parts, but uglier?
Now, if you specifically trying to put together a Mac more powerful than the current top-of-the-line official Apple Mac, that's something worth doing.
Fire the whole damn marketing division in your games development house, cancel all anti-piracy measures and contracts, drop region coding and produce a single version in a single factory then pass on the savings in the form of cheaper games prices.
Damn, there's some stupid crap that makes up the high prices in games. Actually, anyone got a cute little pie-chart showing where the money goes when you buy a, say, PS2 game? I bet marketing is at least a 3rd.
Drop the prices of new release games and we'll talk. A$100 is too expensive. Bring it down to A$50-A$60 and I've already got two titles for the PS2 I'd be interested in.
Accuracy can only be dertermined in a white-box situation. Blackbox should equal inadmissible. Of course, so should unsigned whitebox.
I'm sure I saw a Perry Maison epsiode where someone was convicted based on the date-stamp of a file on his Macintosh. At the time neither my mother nor I had a PC with a correct real-time clock. It always worries me when real events appear close to this fictious one...

There's a joke somewhere around here about an ool and there being no "p" in it, but buggered if I can make it work.
It's an interrupt thing. The theory is that you disable/pause such things as key-loggers by using this (hardware?) system interrupt.
FYI: 234 Intellicarts were produced and one was lost by the postal service.

My 800 XL still works nicely thank you. And I can load stuff on it by getting my PC to emulate an Atari 8-bit PC disk drive..!

Everyone wants a level playing field if they're on the downhill side, but they forget about fairness when they're uphill.
That's because in Australia, since deregulation of the milk market, it's cheaper to milk clowns.

Yet another illustration of why you shouldn't advertise products that aren't finished.

I'm slowly realising it... Pay TV only has two months left in my household.
