    They handled it badly but it did need to be handled somewhere.

    I'm so sick of this proprietary crap.

    So you go for the game with no LAN play that you have to connect to proprietary Blizzard Servers? At least consoles give you little to no expectation of openness.

    This is off-topic, but Tom Cruise is a damn good posterboy for Scientology.

    I would highly recommend Metroid: Zero Mission for the DS if you have one

    Its on the GBA not the DS.

    $MAJOROSSPROJECT is open and nobody gets their own malware put in it by commiting it repeatedly.

    >LII (Cornell) The Legal Information Institute at the Cornell Law School provides free legal information for the United States. It was the original LII project, founded in 1992.

    But what do we have to show for it? If it is ridiculously hard to obtain and keep up to date it will not help in today's world.

  8. Re:Waiting for the Acer A1 phone on HTC Dragging Feet On GPL Source Release For "Hero" Phone · · Score: 1

    It must really tick you guys off since all we ever heard was how European and Asian phones were "superior".

    The Japanese phones are better but only because they have a network to support them.

  9. Re:LOL on Texas Teen Arrested Under New Online Harassment Law · · Score: 4, Informative

    Don't mess with Texas!*

    *And by "mess" we mean to consider a democratically and validly elected official office legitimate, and especially if you know, he ain't your kind of bigot.

    Actually the "Don't mess with Texas!" line is about littering.

  10. Re:it's all about screen size on The Sad State of the Mobile Web · · Score: 1

    Slashdot does something similar where the comments section width never exceeds the available viewing space's width meaning I can scroll across to the comments section and it will fit nicely on the screen. The problem is to many people don't use CSS/Javascript properly and don't design their pages to properly dynamically adjust.

    You must be new here.

    How is it legitimate to force Australian people to pay for research and then deny American & European Corporations access to the results?

    I restate your question like this:

    How is it legitimate to force American & European people to pay for research and then deny Everyone Else access to the results?

    That is how the internet has worked for years. So analogously it works.

    Ever since Men in black, I have been waiting for the shiny fingerprint removing sphere.

    You can burn your fingerprints off on a flat heated surface, not that I tested it or anything. At least not on my hands...

  16. Re:Narrowsighted executives is nothing new. on How Nokia Learned To Love Openness · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Linux, Apache, and Firefox are all great examples of successful Open Source products, and even they are still fighting tooth and nail for market share against very viable closed source competition

    Of your examples Apache is the market leader on Web Server Software. If I remember the last time I looked it was over half.

  17. Re:Zune HD has the Tegra on Next Nintendo Handheld To Be Powered By NVIDIA's Tegra Chipset · · Score: 1

    Yea I am sure that Zune sales will keep nVidia alive...

    Not alone but Microsoft might keep it alive enough.

    Actually the ZuneHD is a better media player than the iPod Touch. The problem is that the Touch is a better platform than the ZuneHD.

    I'll agree to that.

    The ZuneHD lacks an appliacation store and the software that is available for it really is nothing to write home about.

    None != Shitty. It has an app store it just sucks hard, and You can still get them installed the old way in Visual Studio with XNA too.

    Too bad since the hardware is better than the iPodTouch.

  18. Re:Zune HD ports anyone? on Next Nintendo Handheld To Be Powered By NVIDIA's Tegra Chipset · · Score: 1

    I doubt it due to major differences in controls or other hardware.

  19. Re:Zune HD has the Tegra on Next Nintendo Handheld To Be Powered By NVIDIA's Tegra Chipset · · Score: 1

    That's highly possible but they at least had to pay for them and if NVIDIA went out while products where still being made with their chips then those products would have their own futures questioned. The Zune has been iffy enough as it is to get the half a percent of market share it has now.

  20. Re:Seems a trifle disingenuous to me on Game Development On Android · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most people want a phone that looks cool, plays good games, has good music playing capability and is fun to use.

    Class, notice that people do not want a phone that can make calls. That is why the iPhone does well while its phone capabilities are lacking.

    A lot of the older music does still have FairPlay and its not like you can redownload everything sans DRM now.

    Portal was launched simultaneously on PC and console, but it plays far better with a mouse.

    That's an opinion I have Portal on PC and on my 360 and its easier with the mouse but it was more fun on a console because it took a little different skills.

  23. Zune HD has the Tegra on Next Nintendo Handheld To Be Powered By NVIDIA's Tegra Chipset · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Zune HD has a Tegra too. NVIDIA wasn't gonna die until the Zune HD got discontinued or got a different chipset.
