I'm imagining MS developers trying to peel off a "Designed for Fedora Core 5!" case badge and whining about how there isn't even an option for Windows... heh.

How is having Java in non-free any better than a wrapper package that installs Java for you?
I thought so too, but it also seems that VMWare started the price war when they started giving away VMWare Player.
VMWare Player allows one to "play" a preconfigured virtual machine. Of course, any monkey with a text editor can edit the config file, but MS Virtual Server is more like VMWare Workstation or GSX server, AFAICT.
Thank you for reminding me of Crossbows & Catapults. I hadn't thought of that game in *years*. I loved that thing! Geez, between that and stumbling across a M.U.S.C.L.E. link the other day, I'm not going to get anything done at work!
I'm currently playing through all the PS1 games I purchased but never finished over the years, and I thought RE (Directors Cut Dual Shock Greatest Hits version) was *awful*. The controls were horrible, the voice "acting" (I know, I know, it was meant to be that way. I don't buy it) was like a parody of a video game, and there was no point to the final boss battle, I think, unless there was some way to beat it without waiting for the rocket launcher. Even taking into account that it's from 1996, it seemed really primitive and underpowered.
#1. Shared email folders. I should be able to share a folder with anyone else in the company. (Totally amazing would be the ability to do so, securely, with anyone on the Internet).
#2. Shared calendars. Same as #1.
#3. Send appointments/meeting requests to people via #2.
#4. Delegation. I should be able to assign various rights to my email to other people so they can check the business crap when I'm on vacation.
#5. Alias/Roles. I should be able to send items as "webmaster" and "postmaster" and myself.
Sounds like Novell GroupWise. It's my very least favorite client app so far. It gets the job done, but both the win32 and java clients feel cheap and rickety. The web interface is okay, as far as webmail goes.
It doesn't take too much gray matter to realize that soccer moms outnumber gaming advocates by a pretty wide margin, so who would you rather have included in your base?
The US AO rating does seem to be completly stupid, no game is ever actually rated it.
Check it out:
According to the ESRB website, there are 11,028 games rated between "Early Childhood" and "Mature".
There are
19 games rated AO, and most of those appear to be pretty out there (anybody have screenshots of Water Closet: The Forbidden Chamber?). It is impressive that GTA:SA is at the top of the list, though.
I really did try to keep an open mind listening to this interview, but this guy sounds like the type that would have applauded Midnight Cowboy getting its original X rating.
Nah, the original Genesis controllers (were the Japanese and US version different?) were the best I've used so far. Larger than the dinky Master System ones, and they actually fit my hands! And that was *after* I went through numerous Epyx 500xjs (my second favorite of all time -- No one could touch me in Activision Decathlon)
You should check out the rest of the Controller Family Tree (sorry, Mr. Sock Master) it's pretty neat.
Enough people bought a 3do at $799 ($699? I don't remember) to keep them alive for a number of years. Free was the right price for me, though, especially to play Killing Time.

Why does anyone care that they can't give Wal*Mart any more money? Especially for things they can buy elsewhere?

If you think Fox News is the only source of "no facts whatsoever" on TV, you're stupider than you look.
A better question: Why should I waste my limited upstream bandwidth to help them distribute their shit they don't want copied?
I don't know. Will I need to install a new mouth to eat it?

No, it's a reference to KK Null's black chihuahua. Everybody knows that!

Don't worry, all your base are belong to us!

That's Virtua Fighter Kids for the Sega Saturn. I thought it played better than VF2 did.
