The layout of IE7 really did not bother me, as I tend to run my IE browsers fullscreen most of the time anyways. The fullscreen support in IE7 seems to be better. In regular mode, I have my favorites, home page, tools, and page features. I have not found an option yet that is not under one of those two menus, I have view page source, save page, manage toolbars, etc etc etc. It took me a whole 20 seconds first time I set down in front of IE7 to find all the tools I commonly use. It took me a bit longer in Office 2007, but I am to where I like the ribbon bar. The new start menu layout in Vista, however, sucks. I am going to play with it some more when I get home and see if there is a way to change the behavior (not necessaraly the appearence). I miss my cascading menus.
Do not try to fix the hole, that is impossible. Instead, try to see the truth. Then you will see that its not the hole that needs fixing but mearly yourself.
Yeah, I guess that is what we get for speed reading. There are one or two places where it does mention its a book, but its burried. The box that tells the details of the book I thought at first was an advertisement, as it was located normally where slashdot puts ads at.
I was quite confused by this article at first. Does this mean there is a new verison of Gimp out for Photographers? What's wrong with the current version of Gimp? Surely this is not an article refering to the release of Gimp2, that was released a while back.
After reading and rereading the article, I think I have come to the conclusion that this is a review of a book, and the review was aimed at the non-slashdot community.
Goto BestBuy or Fry's. Like the Wii has a quarter of an aisle of games, PS2 has one aisle, PS3 an endcap, Xbox about half an aisle. In fact, PS2, Wii, Gamecube, Xbox, XBox 360, and PS3 are on the same aisle, then you have half of the next aisle dedicated to Nintendo Handhelds. Then go over to the PC gaming aisles, and look at the 4-5 aisles of PC games. Seems to be true at BOTH BestBuy and Fry's. So, yeah, stay out of Gamestop unless you are trying to pick up Final Fantasy 7 for the PSX or something.
Okay, show of hands, who here is actually surprised that the DS is outselling the PSP? Its like asking who here is surprised that the PC is outselling the Mac. This does not mean that either the Mac or the PSP are not doing well, I mean, those sales figures are nothing to sneeze at. It just means that others are outselling them.
I went from a thinkpad t20 (which I also really liked) to a Dell Latitude d600, which is a VERY similar product cosmetically. I think the Latitudes and the Thinkpads are some of the only laptops I have seen (does not mean they are the only ones, just the only ones I have seen) that come with both the fingger mouse and the trackpad.
My d600 is about to go back on lease return, and I am getting a latitude d630, which is a very nice machine.
I do not see any chinese stickers, but I do see parts made in malaysa and singapore. Maybe if I open the laptop up, I can find some chinese parts. Strange, before I got the latitude, I thought they were all built in Round Rock, Texas.
Nah, good luck finding a company that is completely Asian free. I bet even the one laptop per child has something made in SE Asia. Let me know if you find a company that sells laptops in which nothing in them is made in China.
Instead, we'd be seeing 'XP 2.0' coming out with incremental improvements and a whole slew of new support docs, training, and tech certificates. You mean like Service Packs 1, 2 and the soon to be released service pack 3? They gave those away, and did not require recertification.

My problem with the summery is it said Meridian59 was the first game to hit 10 years old, however, from the Wiki, the game was shut down in 2000, and rereleased with an updated rendering engine in 2002. As such, you cannot claim 10 years, as the first incarnation was killed after 5 years, and the rerelease has only been out 5 years, and there was a two year timespan between the two. Ultima Online has been online nonstop (with the exception of maybe a few server hiccups) for 10 years. That should be a better article summery than what was given.
I spent $599 for my 60 gig model. Yeah, I was an early adoptor. It was REALLY hard to justify the price of a PS3 to play next-gen video games only. However, a week before my faithful PS2 bit the dust, and I had quite an investment in PS2 and PSX games. and I wanted a BluRay player. At the time, the cheapest BluRay player was $1000, and the PS2 was still, what, $150. So, I could have payed $1150 for a BluRay Player and a PS2, or get a PS3 that did everything.
Of course, I am the exception to the rule. I wanted a high def movie format player and something to play my old games because my old unit bit the dust. Of course, I could have payed $400 at the time for the cheap HD-DVD player and a PS2, coming out to $550, but why? Save myself $50 for a format that did not have as many movies as I liked, and loose out on having a next gen console? Now, I have a whole 3 PS3 games, a ton of PS2 games, and a ton of BluRay, and a subscription to Netflix.
The PS3 is still high priced. $499 is a LOT cheaper than when it came out. Didn't the 360 debute at $499 when it came out? In fact, I thought I saw the XBox 360 still at $499 the other day (may have been an elite version or something, I am not an MS fanboy, so I don't know).
I think the PS3 problem is indeed not having enough content. If you have enough killer apps, people will pay a premium for the hardware.
Ratchet and Clank, Call of Duty 4, Medal of Honor, and Unreal all come out before Christmas, according to the post you posted. Are you saying these are not going to be strong titles? I am pretty sure Ratchet and Clank is a PS3 exclusive, and seems to be a successful francise for Sony.
Doesn't C-Band satelite offer this, that you pay only for the channels you want? I was looking into this about a year ago, it seems that it is roughly $2 a channel. Of course, who wants a big C-Band dish in their yard this day and age?
I have actually been complaining about this for years. I never watch OLN, BET, ESPN, the Golf Channel, the NFL channel, Fox Sports Network, orh the Soap Opera network, so why am I paying for them? I let myself be talked into a more expensive package simply for the reason of getting BBC America. They tried to talk me into a more expensive package still just to get The Science Channel added. I gave up on that, and went with HBO, it was CHEAPER than buying another programing teir for the one channel I wanted, and I get something like 7 HBO Channels. If I pay the extra to go to the next teir, I will not get 7 Science Channels.
Plus, maybe this way, broadcasters can actually see what people like. I used to say that if it was this way. G4TV would never have changed their format for ZDTV, they would have saw how many viewers they lost. SciFi would not decide to start showing wrestling. When your revenue is directly affected by customers deciding whether or not they want to pay for your channel..... Maybe this will lead to less crap on cable TV. Anyone ever wake up early on a Saturday and try to find something on? Thank goodness for DVRs.
A lot of people are saying that this will mean that Food Network will go away. I doubt this, for two reasons. One, while it may not be the first channel on most people's list, it seems to have enough fans that it will keep the network afloat. The second reason it will not fail is that I doubt seriouosly that most of the shows on Food Network are high budget shows. They tend to only have a couple of hours of new shows a day, at best, the rest is reruns (at least, on Food Network HD). Nah, the network will make plenty to stay afloat. If Baby Network can make enough to stay afloat, Food Network can. Probably the only networks I would be worried about is maybe OLN, who watches that, really? Of course, their shows are low budget too. The networks with the higher production value shows (Nickelodeon, SciFi, Disney, Discovery) will probably deffinately have enough subscribers that it will not affect their profits. In fact, I bet it will probably actually see an increase in revenues for Nick, Disney and Discovery (not sure about SciFi, lots of people like it, but stuff such as Stargate seems to have a really high production value for a cable network, but I am sure they will make out well enough that Atlantis will not get canceled).
Not really sure how this would affect like Boomarang. I would pick this up in a heartbeat, this is currently only offered on the top teir with my provider, but not really sure about others. However, as all they are showing is reruns (last I checked) of OLD cartoons, I am sure that Boomarang will also make enough to stay afloat.
So in other words, this is just another XBox 360 port, like Ninja Gaidain or many others, that have souped up graphics and a few new extras for the PS3 port?
Even when I do have a small virus outbreak, its because people are visiting sites that they know they shouldn't. I have Sophos setup to block installations of all toolbars except for Google, users cannot run Limewire, Kazaa, Bearshare, or so forth (BitTorrent is still enabled), and soforth. Before I upgraded Sophos and it was not able to block apps, I was always having problems with people going to SmileyCentral, or downloading Weatherbug. Now they can go to the websites all they want, it will not let them install the software.
But yeah, most problems are user related. Broken pins on power adaptors, caused by users jabbing the plugs into their laptops, out of harddrive space, fixed by deleting their iTunes, computer running slow, i go and remove tons of crap the user has installed, user has e-mail bouncing, because user had ignored notifications from IT that they were approaching their e-mail quota, Illustrator on the Mac will not start because user has deleted system fonts, modem not working after user used modem during lightning storm (I am actually looking at my tickets as I am writing this, these are my tickets).
The problem was not he ran a Tor server or anything like that, the problem is with law enforcers not understanding technology. I mean, they simply checked the weblogs, saw the IP address of the person who supposedly posted the article, traced the IP address to such and such, maybe with a whois, and arrested and questioned the person. Sounds pretty cut and dry. The issue is, all he was was a proxy server for the real person who posted bomb threat, and after questioning for a couple of hours, they let him go. All this really goes to show is that you cannot hold John Doe at IP address such and such accountable, as said IP address may not even be issued to the person who actually did the "crime".
I have been able to get it to run in software mode, which looks like crap. FF7 was one of the very early games to make use of 3D graphics, and as such, had trouble running on some of the machines of the time. You were pretty much limited to the ATI Rage 3D and the Voodoo cards (of course, at the time, that was about all there was). It used 8Bit textures or something, and as most modern hardware does not support any 3D textures (or whatever it is) below 16 bit, you can rule out playing this with hardware acceleration on modern video cards. One should also note that this is a Windows 95/98 game, and getting it to work at all in XP is like pulling teeth, and I seriously doubt (although I have not tried it) that it will run under Vista.
I finally gave up with the PC version, found a Playstation copy at Gamestop for $7.99, and play it through PSXEmu, which will rerender the graphics at higher resolutions (well, at least the 3D graphics, many of the graphics are still bitmapped or something, as such you have beautiful highres 3D models on crappy looking backgrounds quite a bit, but, hey, it runs).
But its not just limited to 3D games. First, if you can even get a King's Quest or Space Quest game to even install in XP (they recently rereleased the games that will supposedly work in XP), then they will sit here and complain that they have to run at 640x480 in 256 colors. XP will not support these resolutions unless there is something wacked with your video drivers. The XP compatability KINDA works. I actually have given up with the Windows versions of these games, and have gotten the dos versions to work in virtual machines, which works surprisingly well, although Alexander in Kings Quest 6 does walk amazingly fast.
DukeNukem 3D and Doom and the original Quake games have been a headache for a long time. While I think all have been rereleased with versions that will work in Windows, this practically means repurchasing the games. Unless anyone would be so kind as to post links to a free download front end that I can just throw my registered WAD files at.
Sorry, I know the topic was specific to NVidia 3D support, I am just saying that they are not alone in this.
Um, PS3 home is an online game, right? All you got to do is slap it with a Teen rating, which will tell people that its not a Disney Toontown game, then slap an ERSB warning on it saying that Game Experience may change online.
Interesting, though, doesn't Sony say that they will not grant licenses to games that rate worse than MA? So yeah, just slap the above ERSB warning lable on it, and then Sony can release all the adult oriented crap they want.
Hey, people are claiming that the porn industry went with HD-DVD, maybe the PS3 can gain a higher nitch if they decide to also pick up PS3 Home.
I posted it yesterday, but as its almost the same story, I will post almost the same comment:

No PC ports? I am happily playing Halo and Halo 2 on the PC.
I was just thinking, wouldn't it be funny, sice they are no longer part of Microsoft, if they released a PS3 port of Halo?

No can do, we have software that will not even run unless the user has local admin rights. We have been down that avenue before.
