Ok, so XBox is superior in hardware, and it may be possible to produce better looking and fun games on it compared to other consoles, but just because the hardware has the capability does not mean that you will be able to play those promised "awesome" games. Why ? just take a look at nvidia, they have been producing engineering wonders, and their hardware is really expensive, but how many games can use that power ? I'm not a hardcore gamer, but my brother and his crew live for games, and with an athlon 1 ghz using a ge-force mx2 400, they can play max payne which is a really power demanding game.So why they should give their money for a ge-force ultra giga bla bla... ?
XBox may be the console of future, but i don't see a reason for buying it now, and waiting for the "games of the future" to come out while others play with ps2 and have fun. 1.5 or 2 years and so new games for XBox: and i'll choose it, but why buy a hardware with high power, when there is not much way to use that power ?
i really dont't think i'll get off just becouse some jerk who can not discuss properly about a subject has told me to do so.
So everyone likes being able to run a new app in Linux, but when it is an MS product, "Linux has anything you need " approach becomes "why do we need this when we have bla bla.."
In economics, there is something called the network effect, maybe you may have heard about it. It basicly means a producer creating switching costs using the complementary nature of it's products. (you can not use word without windows )
When a technology becomes multi-platform, this lowers the switching cost of windows.So even if you don't use it, just because C#'s and.NET Framework's existence in linux means it's less costly to switch to Linux in more cases. ýf you like linux IT IS GOOD FOR YOU!
I am not sure if you will be able to get the idea, but i am sure this is a much better way of expressing your ideas. ( and./ editors should have better ways other than adding notes to some idiot's flaming )
in fact, i don't care about what they think, but i do care about what they say. I see a lot of young (very young ) guys who read/. and think that being a good programmer requires hating MS and all of it's products...
What makes MS currently what it is, is it's position in the market, and if some other firm had it, MS would have a much different policy. So instead of flaiming anything that is related to MS, those guys should try to use your brain, evaluate what they come up to, and choose the right tool when they should. It's really bad to see some newbies who thinks hating MS is the best way to start being something. Oh, whatever..I'll use both C# and JAva, and if i can do that on both linux and Win2k, than no problem for me..
This is no way a defence for MS, and even if it was, i do not think that that would make me an evil developer.
Ok, so did you take a look at the.NET framework ? When compared to Win32 API it'a very big step forward for the developers who make money from Windows programming. I'd really like to hear comments of some programmers who has worked with J2EE and Java. Implementing something like MS passport may be a security problem, and i agree about it.But why most of the guys like to flame about what MS is doing with.NET technology, and totally ignore the technical framework these ideas are built on ?.NET framework, and C# are clearly superior to former MS software, and apart from being created by a monopoly they seem pretty good to me. If someone with o strong technical background and experience, would comment on why C# and/or.NET framework is evil, i'd read it with, and learn from it. Having C# and.NET Framework on Linux would be fine. Please try to explain why you don't need a good programming language and a proggramming api on linux ? or why it is bad. Do you think that MS is after money and Sun and Oracle are after something else ?
Well, the source is out but i wish they had given us some stuff about the overall functioning of the game. I've seen various tutorials around mostly about c for beginners, but i would really be glad to see one about how the whole thing works. More theoretical info is what i want . Any suggestions for reading ?
