I liked the music before they distributed OGG files. It's just a happy coincidence that I can bring them up in conversations about cool things that labels are doing (full song samples, OGG, etc.)
Believe me, I've head some crap distributed in OGG, and the codec didn't sway my judgement in the least.:)
Where "exactly" are those.ogg files you talk about? Sorry to say, I have seen NONE in my life. Yes, I am a win32 user, I have NEVER seen a.ogg file in my life.
... Wow, a record label I've never heard of, featuring Artists I've also never heard of, uses OGG _in addition_ to mp3. How convincing.
Gee... going from "I've never seen an OGG file" to "Yeah, so some record label out there uses 'em along with MP3 files. Big deal". I provide an example of a place who uses 'em, and you scoff at the example provided. Talk about being closed-minded.:)
Oh, and you might want to download some of those OGG files and pop them into your favorite player of choice. There's some good music waiting to be discovered there. Just because you haven't heard of it before doesn't mean it's not good.
Except it'll be insanely easy to turn in, so secretaries sending out announcements about the upcoming company picnic will have DRM of some form on each document.
I guess Gunfighter was an exception to that rule, then (A game where two cowboys try to shoot at each other). And don't get me started on the violence of Human Cannonball.:)
And people wonder why I'm so adamant about using software that I can agree to the license for (GPL et. al). Having to re-license embedded software for hardware seems pretty ridiculous to me.
Godspeed to the developers of alternative OSes for this hardware.
see as an exhibit the remastered albums from The Police and yes, even Rush. I picked up a copy of the Singles album from the Police, both the remastered and the non-remastered versions. The remastered version is just louder... that's all. They had it right back in the 80s.
Stop worrying about maximizing commercial growth of the franchise and concentrate on making a quality game, no matter how long it takes. It's clear there was a decision up above to put out a new game to tie in with the movie release, but it clearly wasn't ready. Get the marketting people out of the decision making process and let the developers concentrate on making a qualiy game. The profits will come.
I'll probably be lynched for this one, but I didn't think the first movie was that bad... OK, let me rephrase that: I didn't think the first two thirds of the first movie was too bad. After finding the clock things took a turn for the worst. The ending completely blew chunks, but name a Hollywood blockbuster movie that has had a great ending that you didn't feel completely cheated out of? (Or get the distinct impression that they were going to completely ruin the movie-going experience you just had with a cheap knock-off sequel)?
While I wouldn't mind seeing DRM or Microsoft take the hit in this case, I seriously hope that software patents take the biggest hit (Dare I hope for abolishment? One can dream, can't they?)
It's been done successfully by Sega in the past, with the NaomiDreamcast, and the Saturn (Can't remember the name of the Saturn-based arcade board), as well as other companies. Sometimes the differences between the arcade machine and the console machine are just the methods of storage (and even those lines are blurring. Couldn't believe when I saw a "Now Loading" screen on the Sega Airplane Simulations, and the Eighteen Wheeler game.
I believe the original version of this was called "XBox". I think I'll have about as much chance of seeing these in the wild as I did of seeing an Indrema (the major difference is I would have loved to see an Indrema in the wild).
Well, it's not good for the Atari to plug and unplug devices while it's on anyway (not that I've ever done that.:) ), so he'll have to power off the computer before he can save anything on it. If memory serves, the Atari detects all devices on boot-up and doesn't do anything like a hot-plug.

Welcome to reality. Coat-check is on your left.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought of that. (No, wait... maybe I'm not. :) )
Before, the story read that he was taking a year off to get his MBNA. Sheesh, I get at least two offers a month from those bohos for instant credit. :)
She saw the code snapshots on Linux Weekly News and Slashdot, of course. :)
$5 says they get real bitchy with the first site that publishes how to turn the hardware into something useful.

Wouldn't VNC do something similar for you?
And if I might repond to myself, Chris Barrie (Rimmer) made the film for me too. :)

I was thinking of the songwriter, not the director. Mea Culpa. :)

Can't keep up with the Joneses, indeed.
Mr. Jones was quoted as saying "I'm taking a dirt nap; leave me alone you insensitive clod!"

Might help your case to put units in your measurements. I'm not sure what you're measuring there.

Personal preference.. that's all.
I hear Gutenberg's Blog was a real hit with the monastaries, too. :)

The original game was Puyo Puyo.
