I don't know of any other GC-GBA linkup that's worth it.
Well the relative worth is negliable, but in Legend of Zelda : Wind Waker you can use(or have someone else use) Tingle, who is called from the GC game and interfaced on the GBA, aside from giving you power ups, it also allows you to find hidden items and areas and hints.
..but the flash cart pricing will play a major factor here.The famicom disk system media was lil' floppy disks that weren't all that expensive
Note: It was the famicom(NES) that had disk games in vending machines, not Super Famicom(SNES) the only SFC disk "systems" were unlicensed add-ons that allowed game copying, backups and pirating
It is significantly more impressive that a set of robotic lips have the articulation and control to be able to play the trumpet.
I hear you on the technical aspects, but I think its just as impressive that a robot was built nearly 270 years ago that could play a flute. And hell, the guy made a robotic duck that could eat,drink,quack and deficate as well! Where's your shitting robot Toyota?!?!:D
I worked for ~5 years in the medical billing industry, actually at one of the EDI clearinghouses, we also had in house software that would work with your current practice management system(PMS), or we even had a PMS-lite package that would handle producing HCFAs and electronic submission.
And one thing I can relay is, doctors are by and large, very, very cheap in the IT area and resistant to change and if what they have works, its fine, because any change potentially could screw up their currently working cash flow from insurance companies. Also this is usually due to the huge licensing fees they are charged to get their PMS software in the first place and the support package that goes with it. Maybe this is just in the NY/NJ/PA/MD area, but I've seen DOS machines on IPX BNC networks in beautiful modern offices, or crusty old SCO *gasp* or AIX boxes, while more relaible, the staff hates using the software on them. And usually the version of their billing software was at least 5-6 years and a good many versions old. If it works, fine, right?
Well these software frankensteins are basically all patchwork to conform to the latest changes in HIPAA and EDI and just bugs in general. And as long as the doctors money still comes in, they don't care, the billing staff may have to jump thru 80 hoops every month and run odd command line batch files and scripts and patches to the patches to make sure their money comes in, but if the money is there, the doc don't care.
Now, start having the cash come in slow or late and suddenly the sky is the limit for an overhaul. Or the PMS vendor basically plays hard-ball and tells them outright "your shit is 3 versions and 5 years old, we're not supporting it anymore"
Free open source seems a shoe-in but one thing that they don't mind paying for and feel is more important than the fact they are running old,old technology is the support, cause when something is on the fritz they need someones ass to ream and have fix it. So straight open source is nice because you forgo the software licensing, but without a vendor to provide them support, they'd never go for it.
you're barking up the wrong tree...they know who to watch, and who needs to be watched they just didn't...don't let the excuse (we have to increase survelliance powers to protect you) thats shoveled confuse you.
I believe there were plots and terrorist attempts thwarted LONG before TIA and PATRIOT act , see, you're thinking AFTER 9/11 and the whole "privacy and freedom" where I'm talking about before and leading up to...

Man the summary here is just a few lines short of the original article! One day this WILL happen and everyone who posts really would have RTFA!
The officials called the operation one of the most successful investigations since Sept. 11, 2001, and an example of unusual cooperation between agencies in different countries. Led by the Swiss, the investigation involved agents from more than a dozen countries, including the United States, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Britain and Italy.
Thats all well and good, but calling it "one of the most successful investigations since Sept. 11, 2001" really cheapens what they have accomplished here, since the investigative bar was lowered so far pre-9/11.
So they are greatly sucessfull in relation to one of the most incredibly flawed and costly intelligence failures in recent times? Thats not saying too much IMHO
Although this does smack of "unfair" business practices it is a look at how *some* business alliances are formed.
Now, if you are going to condemn it in this case you also need to condemn it when one of "the big guys" comes to the rescue of something that *you* like.
Well said!
This is business for good or bad, it all depends on what side of the line you are on in the situation at at hand
!!! A scary thought.....I wonder if the warranty stipulates that YOU MUST BRING THE CAR IN WHEN THE SHOP CALLS YOU, lest you void the warranty since you are being negligent in regard to the cars maintenance and upkeep
good question, but Bethesda is working on a game as well, so I'd guess its probably open to public domain since neither tried to get exclusive rights on games derived from the Cthulhu mythos
What are they intending to do, design a custom bolt system and tool that ONLY Volvo can get their hands on? I believe GM has tried that in the past "..only use GM tool #xxxxx to remove"
Please.....if someone wants that hood(bonnet) off , its coming off.....Volvo certified or not
It's amazing what improv tools mechanics can come up with
We, and the stakeholders, thank you for dramatically increasing public interest in our addictively fun game of death, destruction, and mayhem. Slow sales have been a bit of a problem, but now, young adults everywhere are lusting after the (almost) unattainable beauty that is Manhunt for PS2. Coming soon for Xbox and PC.
Sincerely,
Rockstar Games
EXACTLY....but now the Ontario film board have covered their asses from any backlash and put the responsibility on the retailers and parents "..we gave it an R rating, what else can we do?"
You sir, have been moderated most unfairly. As a fellow SA and POE reader(though they have not been too good in a while, its kinda dropped off) your observation on the term "slash" in internet vernacular is legit and funny, not flamebait
thats very odd, all imports work fine on my PS1... I take for granted that when someone says import, they mean Japan release....if you have a PAL then you must have gotten a European one.
I believe you can buy PAL/NTSC converters in that case
Why not just use an emulator with a "record game" feature?
Twin Galaxies actually does this in some challenges, they have modified versions of certain emulators that have record features, but these aren't usually held in the same class as a run on a console
Yeah, sure theres ways to cheat at anything if you really want to, but its not like this guy has received a big cash prize for doing this, or like this is a resume builder, its for fun and bragging rights and because people love games.
And the Twin Galaxies crew has been doing this for years and have different people for different consoles and are pretty much on top of their respective areas. So I'd think most cheating attempts would be picked up pretty quickly
I agree, the game can be manic at times, and as you "devolve" the clean shapes start to distort as if static interference....its a crazy game but addicting, and its a good excuse to bust out some REAL old cds that you haven't had a listen to in a long time and see what kind of trouble they cause you.
I hate (in a good way) the songs that produce the double line at high speed AND combo shapes! Ugh!
This game looks interesting as well, using simple color and it sounds simple in the description but I'm betting its not
Thats not snotty IMO, Bud is just crappy "beer". I suppose its a cheap alcohol delivery mechanism, but beer its not.
I drink beer and used to work at a beverage distributor and one of the jokes at the place was the "bud-fart" effect, so your analogy of it being crappy beer is more literal than you may realize.

Also, the Pac Man vs. game is pretty cool as well
But that being said, I'll agree that the potential is far from being fully used.

seriously MOD PARENT UP!, that guy made a flute playing "automaton" that had about 12 songs back in 1737
you forgot the "Ahhhhhhhhhh-AH!" after the "FLASH!" but still funny! :)
which happens to be coming to philly on the 20th and 21st of this month as part of the Philly Classic 5 convention

Sounds like a classic:
Aiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!! You aren't kidding! I just read that myself on their site, FLASH?
smartass. :-P
LMAO
My comment was more that the article itself is pretty damn small, not that your summary was too long :)

We know exactly, undoubtably, where they are moving currently and will move in the future and how far they can see in the real world!
