You're right. All the people in the world should only concentrate on one thing. And since all scientists all work for the same organization it should be easy for them to only work on one problem. And absolutely nothing else. In fact, you shouldn't even be posting on slashdot! go help some starving person!
if you look hard enough. Look at everyone claming that the Mac cube image was fake "Look at the shadows, they don't line up! there's no way this is real, I know my Photoshop." Proclaimed one mac site. Sure enough, the photo was exactly the same one use by Apple a couple of days later. Most of the good celeb fakes look more real then the real pics (skin tone differences between face and body are more likely in real images then fake ones.)
If the photo was fake then the buttons would have lined up perfectly, pixel for pixel.
"Imagine, a mathimatical calculator, given away for free, the size of a bussness card. Who could belive such a thing, I bet it's a hoax, total vapor."
This stuff is going to get cheaper and cheaper. I don't see why it couldn't exist. And after all, in most places in the US you can pick up a phone for free a long with a serive agreement. Notice that this thing doesn't use it's own speakers/mic, so it's really nothing more then electronics.
Where in asia did you live? Japan? I know the Cost of living there is huge compared to the US, but I would imagine that in places like Taiwan or Mainland China would be pretty cheap.
If you want an example of a sweet-ass API you should check out the PGPSDK, that's just amazing. They some how managed to make a polymophic object orientated system in pure C (or course, it probably can't be extended as easily as it could be if it were C++ or java, but still).
The above poser was talking about msdn.microsoft.com, which really is an excellent site, I use it even when I'm not doing microsoft-spesifc stuff (as a general C++ reference). And, as another poster mentioned, there is no such thing as "Option Pack 4" according to Microsoft, and that may be why you had trouble finding it on their page.
Finally, believing that you are qualified to comment on a website because you put a lot of fait in Jakob Nielsen is ludicrous. This is the man behind CDE for god sakes. And the father of the "click here for the next page" links on long stories online. Goddamn that is annoying
games I've ever played, and marginally better than anything Sony or Nintendo or anyone else is offering at the moment.
I think your using the word "marginally" incorrectly here. I belive you mean to say that the games are greatly better then what's available on the n64 and psx, but "marginally better" means only slightly better.
We pay for outgoing calls, but we are unable to receive telephone calls.
Pay phones can recive calls, you can usualy find a phone number printed on the thing somewhere. And you don't need to put any money to pick it up either.
Look at the characters in soul calaber. They look beautiful, right? The thing is, there's only two of them and a simple backgrould. Rendering, say, a car isn't dificult. Rendering a crowd of dozons of people is going to be very difficult.
Miyamato is not a programmer. He may have picked something up about coding over the years, but he does not do any of it himself. He only directs the efforts of others and does the art.
And they should not talk about, or plan, or even think about anything else until then. God forbid they should think about the future, or what might happen after the ps2 is in full swing. It's totally irrelevant right now.
In case you hadn't noticed. That was sarcasm. I can't stand it when people say things like that. "Shouldn't India concentrate on getting food to the poor before they start trying to put down Internet lines?" It makes no sense whatsoever. There are thousands upon thousands of people who work for Sony. They neither can nor should have them all working on the same problem at the same fucking time, moron. God, do you really think that making an announcement that they had been thinking about a ps3 will slow down the ps2 in any way whatsoever?
They got bought by a big multi-website media company.
Not to nit-pick here, but andover wasn't really a 'big media company', they were small time when slashdot got baught. Slashdot probably accounted for 80% of their webhits or something.
Of course, andover got purchaced by a huge computer company.... but anyway
Why does slashdot suck now? beacuse its gotten big, and the comments have gotten lame, most of the people who post on this thing are morons now, it sucks.

Yeh, but masterbating is so much more fun when I have my boyfrend on the line.

You can't really split the network up, it has a pretty much random design.

Actualy, if you'll look at the pic, it shows the phone using a 'hands free kit', a fancy way of saying cheap earphone with an integrated clip-on mic.
Of course, I'm sure you're right about the rest of the stuff

Yes, and current cellphones just love watter. I take mine in the shower with me!

k5 does not use /code, they have their own engine, which was developed before the slashcode was released.

Does the Dreamcast have component video out? I don't think so. My PS2 is hooked up to my 36" XBR Wega
It's "Vega" not "Wega"

But, just like broacast ethernet, it is posible to send signals for certan users by having everyone else 'ignore' it.

Miyamoto did not do the coding on Donkey kong. Read the book game over by david sheff(sp?) for the history of nintendo. It's a damn good read, btw.

I'm not, I'm only trying to refute a post someone else made, in another thread. obviously, untill Sony/variant does something, we can't bash them.
