That just means that your development computer needs to be either Linux or Windows. You build your application on this machine. Your application can use operating system resources that eCos provides like processes, threads, memory management, network interfaces, file system interfaces, input and output, et cetera. The development environment builds a ROM image that you can load onto your target hardware (usually a development board that may or may not have a display). You debug the target board remotely using JTAG or gdb over ethernet or serial.
Anyway, eCos doesn't "run under" Windows or Linux, the build environment and configuration tools run under Windows or Linux.
If you lie to the police, they can arrest you and the District Attourney can prosecute you for filing a false police report. The judge will find you guilty based on the testimony of the officers and evidence that what you said was false. That's what's wrong with lying to them.
If the police lie to you, that's just an ordinary interregation technique.
Yeah, but this is $1500, not a cell phone that costs $50 plus a lot more if they don't lose you as a customer. Filing a false police report is equivalent to perjury.
They didn't do the remakes. The Japanese companies did the ports and Working Designs did their crappy translation where they change the names and make up stupid political jokes and toilet humor. Then they package the thing in some expensive package with a hardbound user manual and a cloth map that's totally useless since the game is totally linear and there's only one place to go to at a time on the map anyway. I've been boycotting WD for several years now. I'll still play the GameArts games, but I'll buy the Japanese versions. The Japanese versions are usually cheaper, even buying from expensive import shops and paying shipping charges, than the WD version is. Plus, I get to play them 4 years earlier.
Until game manufacturers make buying the game a higher quality experience than pirating it, piracy is going to continue to be a "problem". To illustrate my point, let's compare my experience buying the game with that of my friend who downloaded it.
Here's my experience: I bought the game just after midnight last night. I waited in line for about 25 minutes to pay $54.99 for the game. I missed getting the free T-shirt because too many other people showed up before me and they ran out. I go home and start to install the game from the CD's. Disc 1 has a serious problem and keeps failing reading at about 98% of the way through. Eventually after trying 2 different CD-ROM drives and cleaning the brand-new disc several times, I am able to get it to read and continue the install. Now, after the game is installed, I try to run it. It won't let me start without disc 1 in the drive. Okay, I get out disc 1 again and put it in the drive. Now it tells me it won't run because I have CD emulation software running. Okay, I disable daemon tools. Still, Doom 3 refuses to load. At this point, I give up and download the NoCD patch. After that, everything works fine.
Compare this experience to that of my friend. My friend just clicked the download link on a Bittorrent site and waited a few hours. After that, he loads each.iso image in sequence using Daemon Tools to install each disc (at much faster speeds than loading from a CD). He has no problems reading some cheaply produced CD. He just installs the no CD patch from the beginning, rather than trying to work around iD's ineffective copy protection. He's up and running with the game before I've had a chance to buy it.
Obviously, I'm being the good moral person by purchasing the game. However, the fact remains that my experience is notably worse than that of my friend who just pirated it. I guess the game developers don't care.
I stand corrected on the Naomi thing. And now that I think about it, I guess the graphics were sharper on the Dreamcast than they were on the arcade machines. I had thought that had more to do with the montiors used in arcades versus a Dreamcast hooked up to a nice TV with S-Video or a nice sharp VGA monitor.
As for a Saturn being easily attainable... I guess on Ebay. Of course, some things are ridiculous... like Panzer Dragoon Saga selling for $210 or the one listed Buy It Now for $525. I'm still kicking myself for not buying a copy of that game for $50 when it came out. And of course, I do kick myself for the games that I paid $50 for that now wouldn't sell for $5.
Exactly. I still prefer the original Soul Calibur on Dreamcast to any of the versions of Soul Calibur 2 on Xbox/PS2/GameCube. It just ran smoother and better than any of those other ports. This is due to the fact that the Dreamcast was essentially the same hardware as the Sega Naomi board that powered Soul Calibur arcade machines.
Had the same experience last year, and the whole thing really is pretty overwhelming. My favorite part was when a buddy of mine asked Bill "Ninjas or Pirates." Needless to say, Bill had no idea how to respond, and after looking around blankly for a second said "Ninjas," which of course was the obvious answer.
Freeing people from life under an oppressive dictatorship is evil? That's like saying that Lincoln freeing the American slaves was evil because the freed slaves would have to go and find jobs.
You're joking, I guess. The codec is just a DAC and an ADC. It takes a digital signal (in I2S format) and outputs an analog signal (the DAC part), and takes an analog signal (the MIC input or line level input) and outputs a digital signal in I2S format.
There isn't really any hacking to do to it except for sending control messages via the I2C port (for example, to switch between mic or line input or to turn on deemphasis if the DAC supports it).
I work to live, not vice versa. If we ever catch up to such a workaholic lifestyle, it will no longer be America.
I guess you are the sterotypical "lazy American". American didn't used to mean lazy, by the way. American work ethic descended from the Puritan settlers in America who felt that they were commanded by God to work hard to create a new world. Of course, one of our country's founders (Benjamin Franklin) was a workaholic athiest with illegitimate children. Anyway, we invented the workaholic lifestyle.
Regarding commute times, according to this site (http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Products/Ranking/20 02/R04T160.htm) Los Angeles commuters average almost 30 minutes commute each way. Almost all of those people are driving cars where they can't read while driving (at least I hope not). I personally drive about 35 minutes each way. I might actually prefer an hour commute each way if I could do something useful like read a book while travelling.
The studio gets paid for producing the show. That means money for them since they are the producers. Because it's public TV means that the money to pay for the show comes from taxpayers and corporate sponsorships instead of from advertising. Ever notice those sponsorship messages (e.g., "ADM, supermarket to the world.") on PBS? Yes, they gave them a bunch of money.
The producers of the program will want the ratings to be higher so that they will be able to demand a higher fee. Also, PBS would want the show to be more popular since they would be able to request higher sponsorship dollars from the corporate sponsors.
Uhh... that's great if you have a circular lawn. I've never seen anyone ever who had a circular lawn, so I don't think your idea is going to be a popular solution.

I don't think it's fair to compare a country with the population of Los Angeles County to the entire United States. Also, please don't forget that your country has been the beneficiary of a lot of help from the United States over the years. First of all, Austria wouldn't have existed as an independant country if not for the intervention of the United States in World War II. Remember Austria was annexed by Germany in 1938 and didn't have a military that could do anything about it. Soviet forces only left because you adopted a treaty of neutrality which basically meant they could come back in any time they wanted without western nations like the U.S. and Britain being forced by treaty to defend you. Despite that, the U.S. and NATO allies at great expense defended Europe from invasion by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Austria was a recepient of that protection whether they wanted it or not.
There's obviously no obligation to retain an underling after a new manager is hired. So even if he says "Yes" to get the job, he could easily fire the employee. I would if I were the manager. It's the manager's responsibility to get rid of employees like that.
there are designers that should spend more time developing new genres rather than adding features to an already excellent game.
You know, I bet that there are designers who would love to develop new genres except for the fact that they need to eat and pay rent and pay off their student loans. Most of the publishers seem to be saying, "that game is popular and makes money, we want a clone of that game". The developers then have a job to do. Sometimes they put in something interesting that is new, but it's not going to be anything dramatic if they want to eat.

How about eCos. It's a free, open source, royalty free, and runs on ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, x86, and other platforms.

Emulation is about learning. It is not about getting things for free.
Part of it is about learning or spreading information. Part of it is also about playing games for free. If you don't accept that, you're being naive.
