Back in the NES days, adults would actually play the console games. Maybe its just my experience, but that doesn't seem to be the case any more.
Rookie. Back in my day adults would play the Atari 2600 and the licensed Sears Telegames consoles. I used to kick my grandfather's ass at the Atari boxing. My mother used to keep getting devoured at Pac-Man.
I used DosBox to completely beat CC for the first time.
I destroyed the enemy carrier over 10 years ago on my Mac Plus. I never wanted to put in the time to take over every island before.
I still love to break it out and play it once in a while.
I'd love to have the game as unaltered as possible, but have all of the polygons textured instead of flat shaded and a little network action. One more thing, I would like to see would be a garage to refit Walruses and Hangars to refit Mantas while they're on islands.
I remember the first time I had the idea to cut off the enemy carrier from its supply lines. I send 4 mantas island hopping. When I got to the enemy islands I took out all of the defenses using lasers and missiles. I would use their airstrips to refuel and take off for the next island. Eventually I got far enough to cut off the computer carrier and without access to Nemesis it couldn't produce supplies or fuel.
I just don't get the point. But then, we're talking about people who believe they get 7 virgins after blowing themselves up. (Hello! What good are 7 virgins if your penis is has been blown up to bits? And what if you're female? Do you get 7 male virgins?? WTF...)
They believe that the shahid recieve 72 virgins in paradise.
The US Government still has classified files about things that occurred during WWII. If they really wanted to violate the license agreement, they would and no one on the outside would be the wiser. We understand that. What I'm getting at is that not only is it foolish and idealistic to put such restrictions on something but it's dangerously foolish and idealistic to do so.
I filtered his submissions off of my front page for years before I actually found out that he was gone. He seemed to have had a buzzword seizuire. He couldn't post anything without strangely combing all kinds of nonsensical buzzwords in the title.
I was a/.er for a while beforehand, but when the Columbine shootings happened and then the massive backlash against kids who "don't fit in" sparked the Hellmouth series I was hooked. Slashdot helped to change the world due to those two stories.
I'm going to make a Godwinian example to prove my point.
So, what if we had another Nazi-like regime that was about to take over the planet and for the "good guys" to stop them they needed a quick workable supercomputing solution?
The "bad guys" won't care about violating a software license to achieve their nefarious ends, but this kind of thing only handicaps the "good guys". To put it another way, evil people don't care about breaking one more rule to do really bad things.
In addition, by joining a "creators club" for an annual subscription fee of $99, users will be able to build, test and share their games on Xbox 360, as well as access a wealth of materials to help speed the game development progress.
So let me get this straight.
Homebrew Developers are supposed to pay Microsoft for the priveledge of making new content for their system that will be given away for free but that Microsoft can claim when they list the number of titles available on their platform when they advertise to compete with the PS3?
I suppose that $99.00 per year is better than Sony is going to charge to develop for the PS3, but I don't think that this is any real reason to celebrate.
Using the same data lossy compressed, with an algorithm that was able to permute data in a similar way to the human mind, seems like it would come closer to real intelligence than the lossless compression would
I have an idea, if you can take the algorithm from this program and put it into a library we'd be a huge step closer to an AI that mimicks traditional intelligence.

Linux is *not* user friendly, and until it is linux will stay with >1% marketshare.
Yeah. And we all know how being user friendly has allowed Apple to stomp all of their competition.

Carrier Command...
I know that there are a couple of remakes in progress but nothing that is available to buy or download.
If someone would come out with it, I'd buy it in a minute.

I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay for a game, and then keep paying more for the service.
This is precisely why I haven't gotten into MMORPGs. I'll consider paying $50 for a game. I will NOT pay every month to keep playing.
Hopefully Nintendo will have so much success with this console that others stop the business model of trying to milk their customer's dry.

makes about as much sense as "Ethical Lawyer".
The ones who help other people are ethical. The ones who try to fuck other people over are not.
Calling yourself ethical doesn't make you that. It's your deeds that determine whether or not you're ethical.

Katz was a fucktard but the Hellmouth series were groundbreaking.

Therein lies the difficulty. If they have modified the license, then it is no longer the GPL.

What do you think a phase conjugate tracking mirror is used for, Kent?

Google may as well be trying to stop the sun from shining. "google it" is an everyday phrase.
They can join the ranks of xerox, jello and kleenex. Their trademark is so successful, that it's become a generic term.
