If they would only go one generation without it I might have a chance.
The official Tetris Worlds release for GB Color sucked, but that didn't stop the homebrewers from releasing both unpolished ("Bobbletris"; "Tetvis") and polished ("Tet*is Advance"; "Tetanus On Drugs") Tetris clones.
even a fan occasionally worries [that the Xbox console] won't go all DreamCast on us.
Really? It looks like once Microsoft begins to lose sales of server software licenses to Sun, Red Hat, whoever distributes BSD, etc., Microsoft will have to cut funding of some of its loss-leader divisions such as Xbox.
If you want Doom3 on a console, you'll have to buy an Xbox.
So, in other words, to play the top 3 games, I have to buy $550 worth of consoles plus a new TV, right? (I mentioned a new TV because the old TV doesn't have composite video in, and running the PS2 or Xbox through a VCR results in a picture that fades in and out.)
In other words, [John Carmack claims that Doom 3] should be playable on [an original GeForce card] if you turn down the resolution and a lot of the effects.
And end up with 40x64 pixels and 1-bit color? In other words, Atari 2600, right?
Hey, maybe if L4 was ported to L4, apps would run in user-user-user-...-space.
Having a metacircular operating system (one that can run as a user process within another instance of itself) is actually useful, as it allows for virtualizing a machine. This can make server configuration and isolation easier (which is why it's common on mainframes), and it makes kernel debugging a lot easier. Look at User Mode Linux and the new Plex86 for more info.
It appears you're confusing QT with Qt. QT, or QuickTime, is Apple's multimedia platform for Mac OS and Windows. Qt, on the other hand, is a copylefted GUI toolkit for X11 and a proprietary GUI toolkit for Windows, Mac OS, and X11. A native port of the free version of Qt to Windows will not be released until ReactOS is done; a native port of the free version of Qt to Mac OS X will not be released until GNUstep is done.
By opening one already-measured serving, putting it in the microwave oven, irradiating it for four minutes, removing it, and eating it. I wouldn't exactly call microwaving "cooking" in the sense that one has to measure ingredients.
Only if these applications are highly interactive.
The most prominent applications deployed as of April 2003 that 1. absolutely require a connection significantly faster than dial-up and 2. are not primarily used for mass piracy are video conferencing and online twitch gaming. Both are highly interactive.
The "10 bits in a byte" rule originally applied to parity and synchronization bits in a stream. Modern streams no longer use straight parity per byte but rather a CRC per packet, and synchronization happens less often, but "10 bits in a byte" is still valid because of protocol overhead such as IP addresses, port numbers, packet sequence numbers, evil bits, etc.
they do get publishing money, in Albini's case the song writers get $.07 per song per album sold minus ascap fees, if we assume 10 songs then the writers are getting $150,000
And they may not even get that. To the best of my knowledte, before a songwriter publishes a song, there is no reliable way to check whether or not that song infringes the copyright in another musical work. George Harrison got burned by this.
How do you solve the problem of accidental infringement?
Ask Albini what he thinks of Shawn Fanning or the like getting rich on the backs of Slint, Low, Big Black, The Pixies, or even Bush and he will tell you another story.
President Bush hasn't really done much about copyright. Or is there another Bush that I don't know about?
Sure enough, I can now play flash flash revolution during those boring high school comp science classes.
Huh? They let you hook headphones and a 3 by 3 foot DANCE PAD up to their computers and jump around on it during class? At my school, I could only connect a dance pad to an institute-owned machine during meetings of DDR club.
If you're going to dance with your fingers on the keyboard, you might as well play Konami's official version of DDR on a Game Boy Color system.
Slashdot Mirror
Anyone know what the copyrighted content that is protected by this technological measure, could possibly be?
How about the instruction manual to the system? If you can't get in the door, you can't look at the instruction manual.
What I'd like... is a z-code VM
You mean like Frotz for GBA?
My problem? Tetris keeps sucking me back in.
Maybe you don't need to quit. Maybe you just need to switch to so-called "hard" drugs.

The flash cards for the GBA seem to go as high as 512MB
The largest GBA flash carts have 512 megaBITS, not megabytes. And nobody makes the decoder chips yet.
I'd love to play that Java Qix game I found the other day on my Game Boy.
Taito made Qix for Game Boy. Pick it up on Half.com.
The Patriot Act is NULL AND VOID
Not until revokethetrust_yahoo_com foots the bill to pay lawyers to have it overturned.
The tax code isn't like programming - it's internally inconsistent, because of the patch-it-and-try-again way it gets built.
So in other words, the tax code is Microsoft Windows, right?

What I would like to see is a standard practice of generating your posted e-mail address into an image.
This would shut out people with less acute vision and would shut you out from contracting for the U.S. government.
What are they going to do break into my house
Yes. The FBI can pull out a warrant and break into your home. Heck, in some cases under the USA PATRIOT Act, the FBI doesn't even need a warrant.
The version of mplayer that's lawful to distribute in the United States cannot play files with digital restrictions management encoding.
say what?

There already is an 'octane' rating for internet access. It is called 'kbps'.
I know about "kilobits per second", but the ISPs seem not to use it. I didn't see a guaranteed kbps in the contract with my area's monopoly cable ISP.

The only time I've ever seen an LCD with text that looks "like an Atari 2600" is if the LCD is not in the proper resolution.
Only? Not even when you run Stella, a VCS emulator?
Bush - the band
Oh thanks. I had forgotten about Bush.

What does jackass have to do with Bush or any of the other bands you listed?

The application "notepad.exe" could not be opened, because it does not match the stored digital signature. It may be infected with a virus.
