  1. posix on LSB to Provide Standards as Optional Modules · · Score: 2, Informative

    Posix has optional sections of it's standards. Like multiprocess locking. Which isnt implimented in Linux before 2.5 because of the clone threading model.

  2. Re:End Social Security on Mathematics of the Social Security "Crisis" · · Score: 1

    "MANY people out there make such low wages that they can only afford to SURVIVE paycheck-to-paycheck. it's not their inaction to save, it's their inability to have any leftover to put food on the table without starving, let alone for saving for retirement."

    and if the government wasnt taking 6.2% of their wages for SS and 1.45% for Medicare they'd have more to live off and save as they see fit.

  3. Nintendo metal on SNES Audio Unit As Stand-Alone Player · · Score: 1

    Besides Minibosses... there is these guys at http://nintendometal.com

  4. I wouldnt trust this list too much on America's Most Connected Campuses · · Score: 1

    The list of things supported by each school seems wrong... at least for my old school NJIT. About 7 things are marked incorrectly.

  5. Re:Truly Enlightning on IT's Musical Habits · · Score: 1

    As a developer I happened to be listening to Megadeth on http://www.hardrockin80s.com/while working on my latest project here at work when I ran across this article this morning. However, I wouldn't read much into this survey considering it was only 200 people. I listen to many of those bands... minus the Microsoft cert people's.

  6. Re:figuring "out of order" dependencies on The History Of Pentium · · Score: 1

    It's not difficult per-say... it's something better left to a computer thats for sure. Try taking some cpu design classes and having to trace some instructions through even the easiest out of order, superscaler setup. One of those tests which require tons of scrap paper, 1-2 questions, and 3-4 hours. Tomasoulou algorithm comes to mind but I know that spelling is incorrect.

  7. The Week on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    The Week is a good weekly news magazine. Has a little bit of everything and is politically neutral.

  8. Re:Also ported to the Jaguar on On The Making Of Cannon Fodder · · Score: 3, Informative

    It was on the PC, Amiga, GBC, Jaguar, Genesis, 3DO, and SNES

  9. Great great system on NEC's Turbografx-16 History Recounted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Can't get much better than a Duo with an Arcade Card. The top down and side scroller shooters are wonderful. It's a real shame NEC and later TTI screwed up so badly with 3rd party support. The stuff done with that machine was awsome. First CDROM for a home console, full motion video, home development kits, modem, mouse, the Express, the poor SuperGrafx. Great stuff.

  10. Re:Seriously, innovate guys. on Nintendo's Iwata - Innovate or Die · · Score: 1

    I do believe you mean CD-I. The 3DO had no Zelda games.

  11. Re:3 words on Tough Love - Can A Game Be Too Hard? · · Score: 1

    don't you mean Ghosts 'n Goblins... and lets not forget the SNES great Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts... not AS hard but...

  12. Re:Coders? on Linux Spreads its Wings · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because many of us don't care. I code for a living. When I code for my own entertainment I don't care if someone else makes money with it. I just care when the company I work for makes money from the code I write. If I cared about others using my code to make money I would either not release it, place it under a license that didn't allow it, or sell it.

  13. Re:WotW 2? on Jason Rubin To Leave Naughty Dog · · Score: 1

    CRAPPY? That and Shadow are the best fighters there are.

  14. 3DO's best on GameFAQs' Own 'Best. Game. Ever.' Contest Launched · · Score: 1

    two 3DO games stand out... Plumbers Don't Wear Ties... and Shadow. No fighting game can come close to Shadow. And PDWT is the best RPG ever.

  15. re: no really on SNK Dropping Traditional NeoGeo Hardware · · Score: 1, Insightful

    68000 not 6800... and actually... the M68K had a 24bit address bus. 16 bit data bus. and 32bit data registers.

  16. Looks like the PC Engine LT on New Gameboy Announced · · Score: 0

    This new GBA looks like the old NEC PC Engine LT... It's a shame that the LT is so rare... one just went on ebay for about $1000. The Turbo Express/PC Engine GT/LT was backlit and compatible with the main console. You could even connect the CDROM to the LT or a TV tuner. And yet NEC's video game systems died quietly. NEC should never had declined the right to be the only system to have Mortal Kombat 1... there might still be a NEC system on the market.

  17. Turbo Express on Game Boy Advance Arrives · · Score: 1

    Not that I really care but to set some of you people straight. The Turbo Express was formed much like the original gameboy. It was not horizonal. It was like gameboy only larger. The screen was even the same size as gameboy only backlit color.

  18. games... on Sybase to Open Souce Watcom C/C++ & Fortran Compiler · · Score: 1

    Bloodlust Software used Watcom for their classic games. Executioners, Noggin Knockers, TimeSlaughter.... what memories... Checkout their new stuff at www.bloodlustsoftware.com. They require win9x though :( ----- blah
