it seems like Gnome 3 is going through the same KDE 4 woes, actually worse considering its larger user base, i mean even the penguinman himself is bashing it. Still, GP is right that MGSE will probably be broken a lot during upgrade cycles, i just don't see it as something intentional or ill-willed.
to be fair... of the 20+ titles i own on ps3... GT5 is the first one i've seen do that (bayonetta's install was long after the patch that copied everything to the hdd to shorten load times but nowhere near as much as GT5)... funny as it doesn't even look THAT good to justify the ridiculously long install IMO...
sounds exactly like my wife's experience with a pavillion zt1130 back in 2001. first and only time in my life i've seen a celeron overheating...
5 years with my toshiba and everything still works well except the keyboard... when i poured a full glass of rum and coke on it while asleep. it kept working for 5, 6 hours soaked in liquid... until i noticed the sticky keyboard while commenting on a video i was watching the next morning... needless to say i had to completely disassemble and clean the mess... but it was worth it since i'm typing this on that very laptop... don't know how/why the soaked mobo didn't fry...
This is what they did when i bought my toshiba satellite pro which came with xp installed back in 2006 or 7 (don't recall now)
it had xp all right, but it came with so much crap i didn't want like norton security, M$ office trial, which actually slowed the machine considerably... ended up booting ubuntu in it... testing it with 7_64bit right now and so far so good.
...(just like Venezuela nationalized their oil industry under Chavez)...
just to show you how much you DON'T know what you're talking about I'll tell you this:
the oil industry in Venezuela was nationalized on Jan 1, 1976 during the 1st presidency of Carlos Andres Perez, the same Carlos Andres that Chavez would try to oust in his failed military coup attempt of 1992 during CAP's 2nd presidency,
how's that for irony? it was actually the so called "democratic" and "pro-yankee" regimes that nationalized oil here in Venezuela...
but i guess Chavez loves it that you think he did it, when actually it was a military dictator, just like Chavez (Juan Vicente Gomez) that gave the land and exploitation rights of our soil to the US oil companies for pennies...
as abigor's already said they've sold plenty of consoles and remotes and games too (but with the lowest attach rate of the 3 consoles)
it's just that few of the games for the wii are great and most just plain not good, speaking from a gamer's perspective, of course. THAT'S how it turned out.
not saying is a flop but it could be so much more.
p.s.: i have a wii and i've logged +500 hours playtime on the thing...
Reminds me of the Wii that supposedly had plenty of developers on board to make new and exciting games for the then-revolutionary wiimote... we all know how that turned out.
one of the funny things in the natal tech demos i've seen on youtube is how one of the presenters takes cheap shots at the wii's "waggling" of the remote and how stupid and silly blah blah blah... and then watching them arm-waving and making awkward poses to "draw" an elephant (pretty silly IMO) i wonder how much different natal is going to be.
Not that much, judging by the demos i've seen so far. Hope i'm wrong, though.
Hate this "immediately moderate when you select an option" feature. meant to mod funny... slip of the mouse goes to overrated... there should be a go/ok button next to the list imho.
yes... i know... but would it be fair that people who bought the game in umd format get a free download of the SAME game for the pspgo in the online store while keeping the disk?
what prevents these people who hypothetically get the free download from playing, selling, lending/giving the umd disk to someone else? AFAIK there's no activation required for umd games, is there?
I think that people expecting to get a free download for their psp-go of the games they already bought in umd format are a little naive unless......as someone said earlier, for something like that to work, the physical media would have to be returned to sony or the publisher of the game since:
umd disk + free download for pspgo = 2 copies of the game.
who would want to forfeit the ability to play with the old psp just to get the game in the go? i suppose it's a matter of preference.
i don't know if the "exchange" was already implied in the proposition of getting the free download, so far i haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else.
Someone compared sony and apple a few posts up (yes, i read at -1)... maybe this was posted under the wrong GP, but definitely not OT in the whole of the argument...
without knowing the specifics of the method proposed... (the temp differential doesn't tell you anything if one doesn't know how much energy is required to accomplish that change of state.) you can not actually tell if it's more efficient or not... can you? (i won't (and didn't) deny i'm just guessing.
p.s.1: sadly i'm not a geek anymore (just a chemical engineering drop-out with credentials removed a long time ago) so i'm kinda letting the rum do the talking...
p.s.2: in perfectly acceptable/. fashion... i obviously didn't RTFA so an undetermined quantity of salt it's gonna be required for any post of mine wrt this.
well... i can see benefits in areas like this method being quieter, also it sounds like it won't produce as much heat as the conventional gas compression method.
but then it doesn't sound like arranging these molecules into a crystal-like structure won't require considerable amounts of electric power.
only time will tell. and even then, remember that new technologies' worst rivals are the ones they're trying to replace. even in a best case scenario, it'll probably need many years to become mainstream. gas compression refrigeration's been around almost as long as refrigeration has... it's gonna be a tough one IMO.
definitely smell a rat in here... these friendliness towards OSS lately (which used to be the devil, according to ms) is puzzling....though it'll be interesting to see what comes out of this, right now it doesn't sound too exciting.
as i said in another post, i do remember the jokes about car names when i was little, including this one, i don't see how it now becomes an "urban legend"... maybe it's a cultural thing...
i also don't get the flamebait mod. talk about humorless...

They already did going from gnome 3.0 to 3.2... a bunch of extensions were broken due to changes to the API...
There's gonna be a lot less passionate debates around here...

i also game on pc and the wii... love 'em all.
cheers!
