Not only you are an Anonymous Coward (if you have something to say come out and speak up !) but you also had to post this off-topic bullshit 2 times to get it right. Next time don't write anything and use the Preview button to make sure nothing actually spilled in the Comment box 8)
I can say that !
Everybody is saying "Priot Art" now. Sounds like a gallery msg board here.
There is a billion head tracking systems out there. We know that, cool !
P.S. No need to be anonymous when you are being honest 8)
Sounds like something my grandmother would tell me.
Forget this lawsuit bullshit and take it easy. Kids break their legs, necks, arms, etc playing soccer in the streets.. are we going to sue Mr.Ball ?
What is this, slashlawyer.com ?
Eventually the enemy force will come catch who does those nice machines.. so I doubt it's ever going to turn into a robots game.. especailly since there is nothing like killing a bunch of humans to hurt other humans.. and war is just about that, isn't it ?
I have many many computers at home and in the office we have many many more and I can touch all of them !
If you see me.. I usually have 6 keyboards in front of me and I enrage on them like a mad piano player. All My frined tell me I'm SuperGeek and they beg me to spill some words of wisdom about this world of geeks so obscure to them.
Last but not least.. the chicks areally dig my computers. I think I will buy a Z80 to stick into my lighter and make a micro MP3 player. I already ported Linux to the Z80 and I'm almost done optimizing the MP3 decoder.
Skilled workers are those that work out of passion.. not drones that expect some company/institution to pay for their training.
The truth is that most Americans have little ambitions of hard work.. they would rather be managers. People coming from countries with less IT opportunities trained themselves out of passion with more computers and less money/power in mind.
PS2 vertices in VRAM ?
Comes to show how clueless are those technical writers.. if they knew anything they'd be coding not writing some lame articles on the web.
I emailed Amiga developer support a few days ago to ask how in the world they were charging $100 for the SDK. I was answered that they need serious developer.. and that serious developer won't be scared to spend $100 knowing it's worthy. I was told that if they released the SDK for free it could have attracted a million peopole but not serious developers. Nice smack in the face of the old Amiga community. What's wrong in having a million people playing around with an SDK ? Also.. do they think those 15,000 serious developer were going to lose interest in the SDK because it's free ?
Well sorry if I'm not a developer serious enough to give 100 bucks away just to play around with something and find out if it's useful or not.
Amiga doesn't exist anymore.. it's a name of an hardware and software that used revolutionary.. if another revolution has to happen it wont be because of a name.
I've seen enough of those web sites that come out with some amazing idea but with nothing in their hands but an HTM (as in.htm) editor. It used to be websites about new OS projects.. now something different for a change.
I can see already one main reason why this is just fiction:
Who is going to give an F1 car to train someone's neural network/genetic algorithm/whatever-they-don't-tell-us-they-will-us e ?
You can make a $1000 AIBO fall a thousand times while training its gaits but training a 10 million dollars car at 300kph is a different thing.
Before even thinking about F1 cars they should try to build enough AI to reliably drive a standard car without getting out of the track. Mercedes R&D recently did that and it was quite an a chievement.
I think they should rather concentrate on extremely accurate simulations to first be able to reproduce the a car on a track (things that are actually being done in F1 nowdays) and then try to plug an AI into the simulation. Maybe even simulate the vision system....it sounds very complex but it's more viable than crashing F1 cars. ..bha.. I just think this is just a scam.. they are already talking about fame and magazines !
Market shrinking in Japan though

Cellphones, with all their features, are what made videogame market in Japan shrink by 30% in 1999.
Youngsters there prefer to pour their money into phone bills rather than new videogames.
Interaction between players is currently also the target of most videogames. Competing with others constitutes the main appeal.. but sometimes is not quite enough. Games like Quake III are great fun but turn out rather unfair unless you have a nice T1 line or local network. Other games like StarCraft work much better on the Internet but the verbal interaction is limited and often undesiderable (insults, lame players that beg you to ally so to achieve victory points). Also during those online experiences it's very rare to spot female players.. on the other hand, cellphone technology in Japan offers wider communication, silly but entertaining mini-games and plenty of chicks.
Now I'm curious to know what will happen to the US videogame industry if and when cellphones will catch up.
Their histories are often as chaotic as you can imagine: bad family relationships, broken marriages, out of wedlock children with several different partners, bankruptcies and tax liens, multiple serious car accidents, drug and alcohol problems, fistfighting, and criminal records related to all the above.
Sounds like your typical Jerry Springer show. North American climbers are not "all the climbers".
Then it's irresponsible to be a race driver, a fire fighter, a policeman !
I bet you his children are damn proud of him..
We are talking about an exceptional man that achieved something that not everyone can..

The most useful thing you can find in Japan are ultrathin laptops like those you find here but with internal CD-ROM (why not in USA ??!). I've heard the VAIO notebook with Crusoe is already out, there. Cellphones are ages ahead but they are kind of fragile (cause they aren't made to last) and most of all useless in USA 8)
You can also find lots of weird software: games where you have to seduce chicks, software where you can build your own schoolgirl in 3D, Doraemon figure keyboard cleaner. Also very nice PDAs (if you really need a good Japanese writing recognition) such as Taurus.
Japanese game magazines (such as Famitsu) are also lots of fun.
QuickTime is the SoundBlaster of the video playback. It just came earlier than anything else.. when MPEG was too heavy do be decompressed in realtime and was too slow to be compressed decently.
I think nowdays MPEG is just fine, too bad there isn't a standardized protocol for streaming and playback isn't embedded in browsers just like JPEG (enter crashy RealPlayer).
In the end I think QT's strenght was timing.. MS noticed that and saw QT's long term plan (to be a complete media layer) and that's when it came out with DirectX. Luckly neither Apple nor MS completely succeded.
I think to really sell great in USA they should add two cup olders.. maybe in that case it should rather be a donkey 8)
Perhaps now that Clie is out we are going to have another Palm interfaced robot ?
About 5 years ago my ex boss got to sit in a meeting with some Netscape and SGI people.
He had a really nice 3D software rendering engine developer by my skillful friend 6502. The engine was really good and could pack nice textured worlds in a fraction of those toyish Gouraud shaded VRML files. Unfortunately there was no way to persuade anyone to give up on VRML.
If SGI had an idea on how develop products for the big public they wouldn't be in trouble now.
You can't really achieve so much compression with DCT. The low bitrate MPEG4 I saw looked pretty bad but they didn't show any blocking artifacts typical of the DCT compression. I'm almost sure it uses Wavelets.. I don't know which kind though.
USA is a world by itself. Living here will make you ignore what is the rest of the World like. You will learn (read: media brainwashing) that "this is the best country in the World".
Immigration is extremely painful.. all my friends here are non-American and most of them have some immgration issues going on. I'd really suggest to try Canada or Australia. Those are still English speaking countries and immigrating is much easier. Japan also has places for English speaking employees.
After 5 years in USA now I'm counting the days till I can leave and finally be free from all this immigration bullshit ! Yet, I must thank those that gave me the opportunity to come and work here in first place. It was good for training but bad for peace of mind.

Actually the PSX had a GPU since 1995. PSX also has a GTE (Geometry Transform Engine). NVidia GPU is more like a PSX GPU+GTE.

1) THAN is in the condition of the IF, THEN is the result of the condition:
... ...
IF (a > [THAN] b) THEN
IF (me SOFTER [THAN] him) THEN
2) CGI has no boolean operators. If you SUBMIT you can't do OR -> submittOR is invalid
