You made Code Monkey several years ago; do you ever intend to revisit this unfortunate soul to see how he's developed in his career? By now he may have progressed from a code monkey to a legitimate software engineer.
In the city I live in, it seems there are very few grocery stores with employees motivated enough to care about getting the customer through the line as quickly as possible. Very irritating, as I used to work at a grocery store in high school which kept a record of our checkout speeds, and I was usually one of the faster ones at above seventy items per minute. Even with the inadequacies of the self-checkout systems, I can still usually do it faster than the paid cashiers. Also helps that I still remember the PLU's of some of the more common produce items so I don't even need to do a lookup on them, something most of the cashiers in my area apparently can't do.
Didn't NVIDIA stop making motherboard chipsets? It would make sense that they would attempt to get their tech to work on as many platforms as possible.
I believe the difference is in the fact that developers are still trying to develop rich and detailed environments despite the poor video output capabilities of the console. GP's mention of Twilight Princess is a good point; also take a look at Monster Hunter Tri. Both have very detailed environments that look muddy and cluttered at 480 lines of resolution. An Atari and NES, for example, had relatively simple graphics and environments, so there wasn't nearly as much strain to make out all the details.
My only problem with this is that I can't play Monster Hunter Tri online with Dolphin. This sucks because my main complain about MHT is how crowded and muddy everything looks at 480 lines of resolution.
Not completely disagreeing with you, but remember that the Mario games actually had advanced physics for their time. Compare the "feel" of movement in those games to that of their peers.
I just bought my first AMD/ATI card (was a long-time green team player), and I may never go back to nVidia. My Radeon HD 6950 has 2GB of VRAM, runs pretty cool (never gone over 50 C), is tearing up any game I've sent at it, and cost less than $300. Plus it has dual-BIOS so I can flash it to run as a 6970 without worrying too much about messing up.
You could probably just have two user creation forms up with almost all information filled out. Submit the dummy one, quickly check it's UID, add one to that and submit the second form.
OMG! Someone said something positive on/.! It must be a paid shill! Just assume the complement made to IE9 was done as a cover-up and we can continue to be hateful basement-dwellers.
It's ironic because it's an article about the internet becoming separated and inaccessible to certain people, and he can't get to the article due to a filter.
I can understand and appreciate that; I was merely referring to the fact that your wording suggested there was a movement to get this game banned. I'm simply inquiring if that is true.
The legal team of Sony gets the order to stop this so they do their job and Sony, if you like it or not, tries to protect what they think is theirs.
If your employer asks you to do something which is wrong, it's still your decision to go through with it. And how does a console purchased by a consumer belong to Sony? That seems completely bogus to me.

maybe if I was a 12 year old girl who had never heard good music before, I would like her. But thank dog I am not, so I am not so easily fooled.
Not saying I enjoy Lady Gaga, but you seem to like Madonna, meaning I really wouldn't trust your judgements in music.

Even the PS3 has crappy video; its GPU is based on the GeForce 7800.
The same as is always the high end more than a year after new consoles come out: PCs.

But emulating a retail system? That's piracy, whether you own the game or not.
What if you own the console and the games you're playing on the emulator?

And you are effectively feeding the troll.
So you'd have no problem being put on trial with no jury? I'm sure those individuals volunteering for jury duty wouldn't be biased at all.

Right, because no employed, functioning human being can have hobbies. Get over yourself.

Where did you learn to count? I need to make sure my children never go to school there.

we've found smacking women in videogames to be against that goal, so we're going to deny it
What do you mean you're "going to deny it?" Are you implying there is a movement forming to stop this game from being sold?
Imagine what Vent chat is going to be like for this game...
Who really knows what we would be doing for sleep considering we'd bath in methane.

Perhaps your elitist attitude is what causes those around you to act like assholes.
