BeOS is faster and more stable OS than Windows2000, plus better multimedia systems then Linux, why not? I mean, aside from a great FileSystem and a kickass interface.
most of thier stuff was overpriced and crap. if they did this about a year or two ago, when the market was fresh(or kind of fresh), we'd probably using Intel toasters with digital cameras to show you the level of toasting the bread's at
PCI enabled 486, throw a gigabit PCI nic, a PCI Ultra Wide, or recent fastas hell scsi, gobs of EDO RAM, and a nice and huge disk.
It'd be a rockin' Server and Dev machine. If I want sound and fancy graphics, i'd make it a BeOS/Win2k box with new hardware. Linux isn't multimedia os nor will it ever.
COnsidering that now, CS instructors are teaching students in highschool bsd sockets, and thusly, about buffer overflow. Thusly, they just provided information and advice to a possible "hacker" Which would be illegal under this law rite?
I think this might be a bit redundant but if it is, you deserve it
Congressional power IS constitutionally limited BY Supreme Court review. and even THEN the constitution could be amended to fit the needs of the congress. The constitution provides a great deal of powers that will allow them to grow beyond what was originally set for them.
The consitution wasn't designed to be a static ever lasting document, that doesn't mean what's being done to it is right, but that what we need to do is set it right, who knows? Changing it to how it was interpreted years ago might be even worse.
if someone can rig a powerful enough bluetooth transmitter, wardriving with Goatse.cx. Bad enough doing it back in the early cablemodem days when networks were unprotected...
I believe that Backwards compatability should be handled at the OS level. MS could've easily ditched piled on Win16 and DOS support by just emulating it, applications could be signed for what types of systems it could run on, based on which libs were called, etc. (hopefully Hello World! should run on every machine. I wouldn't be surprised if a cout "Hello World!" made an XP box crash and burn) or maybe just signing it at the Makefile level.
I think it has something to do with Direct3D as a Gaming 3D API, note, GAMING, API. OpenGL has it's place as a professional API, well, on a Windows based platform. Also given that support for said API is easier given DX Diagnostics, and also more robust hardware support(Pixel Shaders anyone? Not in 1.2)
I've had a few cases where plugging in a Palm and an HP printer at the same time would make the system try to do a network boot. Which was easily fixed by fdisk/mbr but nothing big...
The Pixel Shader technology will be backwards compatable as far as the DirectX 8.0 API is concerned. Imagine that. Microsoft using an API to bring software developers together across various hardware choices. Now only if they could get Win32 cleaned up and a decent kernel, then I'd THINK about purchasing that OS.
Although I'm not saying that there won't be card specific code, but as far as Pixel shader tech goes, as long as the drivers are DX 8 compatable, there's no problem with code for one card not working on the other. Besides, most systems sold in the last year have 810/810e/815E chipsets and stuck with those old i740 Starfighter chips.
I think we've learned from that though. I mean, a parent might have a hard time choosing a PS game over a DC game, but atleast the sales person will be smart enough to tell and tell the parent. Although, I believe with a more saavy not to mention much more populated and more older, core consumer group.
Yes, more older. Come on, Don't tell me that the number of people in thier twenties with consoles in the mid 80's compared to the number of people in thier twenties in the mid 90's/early 2000's playing games hasn't risen somewhat sharply, atleast, as far as percentages go. It'd be insane for someone in thier twenties to own a NES back in that day. But compare that to today, people in thier twenties now were the ones owning NESes then when they were children and grew up with video games. So it's not that crazy to them.
Simple. Yes. Those that have crappy games and crappy consoles will fall and die. The video game market died in the 70's and 80s because there was only one dominant console and it was crap and had A TON of crap games. Simple as that. The market doesn't fall out when there's a saturation of decent consoles that have decent games, not even at a percentage. The NES and SNES had games that were terrible. In massive amounts. But we still remember the gems.
The Atari, the only real console to have the market fall out underneath them, had few even decent games. While we might remember Pitfall, there were atleast 20 times as many bad games. Techinical limitations, as well as bad hardware design( the coleco and other systems were available at the time and had much more advanced graphic and sound systems.). On the Nintendo consoles, there was maybe 3 or 4 times as many bad games.
Consoles have came along way. You can't saturate the market with quality games like what the DreamCast and even playstation had. While there were a lot of crappy ass games, in ratio, it wasn't so bad. For every Simpsons Wrestling for the PSX there was DDR, MGS, even Final Fantasy 7(I didn't like it but it was fun. Well, more fun than say, Custer's Revenge) was quality relative to what was seen during the Atari age. Yeah, graphics dominate, but atleast we're taking quality and fun gameplay ideas and running with them.
I'm predicting that third parties will determine which consoles survive and which don't. They'll produce the killer apps which make or break the systems.
Except it's a major crapshoot and the chances are they're going to suck(Unless you pop 50 bucks for the Konami ones, or 150 for the Deluxe Konami ones, or 200 if you know where to get the solobass arcade mat and some solder)
you can't even IMAGINE trying catastrophics on a cheap 3rd party mat. Muchless S4r(well, sudden shuffle maniac)
Impossible to control? RC? What?

Last I checked, one of the highend super heavyweights used a Logitech iForce Joystick. I'm not sure HOW, but all I know is that's what he used. I know that at the heavy/super heavy levels, competetors use other similarly complex control devices as well. The glorified RC Cars are really on the light and some on the middle weights. Which when you're limited by weight, you don't have much anyway. maybe a saw blade, or something. I'm wondering why no one's taken advantage of a spike, the tethered weapon rule, and the firing technology of choice by hasbro. Spring loaded. It's off topic but think about it!

One more step closer to having an importbooter for PS2 that doesn't require soldering.

This means I can now put a bunch of free and legal mp3s onto my FTP, watch it get DoS'd then charge RIAA for the bandwidth fees.

this'll be great for lan parties, some camping bitch annoys you, just pop his speakers.
if L Ron Hubbard can blatantly do this, then why can't George Lucas do the same thing accidentally?

Mobile Suit Gundam count? It's OBVIOUSLY science fiction, and it's on cable TV, why not?
yeah, but it's at the OS level now. Thank god. While ID's a nice company and all, i don't want them writting drivers for my video card.

not as good as I like it. INfact, i've used a removable harddrive system for years, so my dad won't find my pr0^H^H^Hclassified documents.
Interesting point, I think it'd be notable to point out that www.livejournal.com won a webbie probably for just that reason.

A ddr mat that doesn't suck ;)

Rock on. But what about when darkness falls?
