I know that windows XP (and probably other versions) have a feature that dynamically changes the behavior of certain parts of the OS depending on the application being run. This is to allow applications that depend on bugs/behaviors specific to a version of windows to run.
Do you plan on implementing something like this?
I don't know if you're talking about the stable version(0.8.x) or the development one. I don't have any of these anime files with complicated subtitles but they claim to have improved quite a bit their support for subtitles in the development version.
Try downloading a nightly build and see if its better
Wikipedia says it will be released on xbox 360 and the ps3...so I guess it won't be coming out for the wii.
I think it's a pity, but Nintendo knew where they were getting when they decided to build a console with considerably less hardware power than Microsoft's and Sony's offerings.
I'm not bashing the wii: They are making innovative games and loads of money but it just (obviously) won't be getting the hardcore games that have complex graphics and gameplay being released for the other two consoles.
On friday I had to wait a long time at the hospital so I bought a games magazine (Spain's Micromania) (I don't remember the last time I did that). I was completely shocked when I found that EVERY single game had a score of 90 or more. It just couldn't be accurate and, of course, it's not. Many of those games are given low scores on many sites on the internet.
But wait, this is the best part: Every game has positive points and negative ones, I was even more angry when the negative comment of one game was: "If you don't buy it you're gonna regret it". Come on!.
I knew there was some corrpution on the game reviewing business but I didn't think it was so deep.
Anyway, maybe it's only that this magazine it's the most corrupt ever.
Effective, that is, until people figure out that you are bending the truth to promote your "message", at which point your reputation as alarmists damages the very issue that you are trying to promote.
I agree completely, and the same thing happens to many people when they get on a crusade to solve some problem: be it women's issues, global warming or whatever. Some people try to bend or exagerate the truth to make the problem seems worse. And you know what, nobody likes to be lied, even more, nobody likes to be lied about the magnitude of a problem and later be asked help to solve it.
Someone who knows about graphics, please explain: What can be wrong in a driver that affects only old games? A bug in rendering a certain version of directx? Wouldn't that break all of the games of that era (or the ones that use the same api) instead of a few ones?
It works as a standard usb storage device, you copy the songs and it updates its internal database automatically. This works with every operating system that supports usb.
You can use that mtp protocol too so you can synchronize with windows media player, winamp or countless other products.
It was like 4 years ago but my networks teacher said the same as the parent: We were talking about the capacities of the optic fiber and he said that that wasn't the problem at all, that the problems were to route the ever increasing number of packets.
I can really confirm this. Many of the new homebrew games developed for the 2600 are comparable to the best commercial games made back in its time.
It probably has to do with having better tools and the internet to share programming tips but what these people do with the venerable machine is incredible.
If you ever had the 2600 go to atariage.com and check the homebrews
Try knocking on Linus' door and offering some beers for his time.
You may learn a lot of interesting things...or you may be left without beers and without knowledge
I don't know why this bothers me so much too. I'm not even a native speaker of English. Maybe it's because I feel most of the people who write 'loose' don't even know what the word with that spelling means. Probably it's my imagination that wants to torture me:)
I don't know how old is that samsung but the yp-z5 does exactly that. You can use it in MTP (the protocol Windows Media Player uses) in USB Mass storage device mode (Works just like a usb memory key). Either way, it updates its database once you disconnect it from the computer and all the files show up just right.
(No, I don't work for samsung but man this is a really nice player)
Advertised 4Mb/s download. That's the real speed for things like http, that's ok. But for p2p the speeds go down to 30Kb/s max. That's pathetic. I don't think there's any mention of that in the contract either.
I understand them, but I'd like them to tell you that upfront.
I'd be good it they made several packages: One with the current conditions and with the p2p limitations clearly specified and another that, more expensive, without those limits. Who can argue with that? They'd earn more money than now.
The NHL seems to very interested in promoting the game. I don't know how the tv audiences are for it in north america or whether this promoting has something to do with it (I guess it does).
Having said that, the videos on youtube are of pretty bad quality and if you add that to the fact that hockey is already a difficult game to follow with a good image the result is pretty bad.
There used to put full games on google video with somewhat better quality but nothing spectacular either.
Dosemu is virtualized and requires an x86 processor to work, dosbox does not. Dosbox actually emulates the hardware and has been compiled on a variety of platforms many not using x86 processors. It has a dynamic recompiler that makes things faster if the host processor is a x86 but on other architectures still works, just more slowly.
Besides the immersion being spoiled (at least for me), just think how out of place the ads are going to feel a few months from now.
When I saw that huge axe ad in burnout i thought what's doing it there? it's just so big and outstanding.
Please stop the advertisements in games!
That's funny since I use a PIII 800Mhz as my main computer.
I know it's time to buy a new one and I intend to do that soon, but for "office" tasks (word processing, music playing, web surfing ) works just fine.
My only problem are H264 videos, although videolan allows me to watch some 448x336 ones without problems.
Well, because like it or not MP3 is the most extended format among digital portable players.
I know many of you think the ipod is all that matters but the ipod can play mp3, so can the creative players, the samsungs, the sandisks... and all of those bad quality chinese players.

Yes, but this only works if a significant number of people are willing to watch the same programme at the same time.

Samsung YP-P2.
Doesn't have wifi, but has a good screen (480x272), touch interface, bluetooth for headphones and for your phone and versions from 4gb to 16gb.
Worth checking imho.
...my samsung when you disconnect the player from the pc, others let you index when you want. In any case this is not a problem

I'm not sure if this is the case still, but a networks teacher of mine told me some years ago that the bottleneck of the internet were the routers.

...that would include the million or so that I lost to online sports betting. I never learn :P
