You do realize that backwards compatibility is holding computer technology in general back, right? Otherwise we would have Star Trek computers already.

-game can't use more than 24 megs of memory (gamecube)
-game can't use high res textures (PS2)
-game can't have high poly counts (PC with budget video card)
-game can't have complex interface (consoles)
-game can't have detailed GUI (consoles/TV)
Now what do you have left after this?
Let's see: Pac-man, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Super Mario Brothers, Galaga, Gauntlet, Arkanoid, Warlords, Street Fighter 2, Civilization, SimCity (the original), Tetris, Zork, and the list goes on and on...
I'm sorry, but web games will never match a true game.
And by "true game" I suppose you mean the latest 1,000,000 polygon steaming pile of moose turd pie that itself panders to the lowest common denomiator?
There was a time when you didn't need any of the above crap to make a great game. Alas, I suppose by "great" you mean "pretty"?
Well, I demand more. Graphics ain't gonna cut it with me. And there's no reason why a decent developer can't make a great game while following all the rules you set up above.
Wake up.
Oh, where were we? Oh yeah, why Loki (supposedly) failed. Well, maybe if they put their product in Wal-mart right next to the Mandrake boxes they have there...
This means my parents bought a brand-new Windows XP computer JUST IN TIME!
And no stupid activation issues, because theirs was pre-activated! Lucky them!
You do realize that the activation feature is a conspiracy between Microsoft and PC makers to make it more difficult for those who actually want to build and/or maintain their own computer for less, right?
If the OS is out of date, your PC probably is too! Time to buy a new one!
Yeah, but nobody said the two interlaced images had to be for the same moment at time either. IOW the effective framerate for PAL can be 50 FPS and 60FPS for NTSC.

Bzzt. Pentium Pro. Thanks for playing, though.

Oh really? Let's clock the P4 at 3 GHz (it's been done with water cooling) and the Athlon XP at 1 Hz. Now who's going to win???
Because a RAID 0 array would be faster!
obviously needs more hardware. Dead already.
cypherpunks/cypherpunks works for me
All we need are faster drives. run them fast enough and the noise becomes ultrasonic!
You're one of THEM, aren't you?
Well, I believe in the COnstitution, which the government has been using as toilet paper for quite a while now.

Wake me when they start rendering pictures of the Mars Anomaly of the Week, then we'll have something to talk about.
So what? If it's good enough for kids in Japan it should be good enough for kids in the USF'nA!
I assume you did more than attempt to use Pine without turning off rsh connections?

That's what Masonna's supposed to sound like. Although, I'm sure it didn't compress well :-)

Can I run Intellimirror on my Intellivision?
Yeah, but nobody said the two interlaced images had to be for the same moment at time either. IOW the effective framerate for PAL can be 50 FPS and 60FPS for NTSC.
30FPS in video games isn't smooth for me.

Sounds rather weak to me.
then how come vinyl sounds better? HUH? HUH?
Explain THAT, Mr. Meter Man!
Not hot enough, eh? Throw a few Pentium 4s in there and it should be hot enough for anybody!
