Another reason to use nLite. Whenever I need to reinstall Windows on a box, I grab all the newest updates with Windows Updates Downloader and slipstream them onto a new install disc. Besides getting an up-to-date installation, you don't need to reboot fifty times patching after the install either.

Sony's already doing that (or will be, this fall) with the Playstation TV. Two people will be able play a multiplayer game, and (using 3D glasses) both see separate pictures on the same display. It's basically a standard 3D TV, but in multiplayer mode the interleaved frames are meant for different viewers rather than different eyes. I see no reason this couldn't work on a non-Playstation-branded TV as well, though it's possible it may require a firmware update on the TV should Sony choose to support it.
If only there was something on the moon we could use for radiation shielding...
Like, say, the moon itself. It's not like we humans don't have any experience digging tunnels all over the place here on our own planet, we could build our base under the surface and get the added bonus of micrometeorite shielding as well.
One of those characters is blank in the standard USA ASCII character set. You could use that one to insert what looks like a space in your filename, and confuse the hell out of anyone trying to access it from a prompt. "How the hell did he get a space there? And why does DOS keep telling me the file doesn't exist when I try to view it?"
VVVVVV also just got a big update, with a new engine written in C++ rather than flash. This means no more blowing away your saves every time your flash cache gets emptied. Other updates are a level editor, some extra levels, a new "analog" video mode, and possible Steamworks integration in the near future. Still waiting for the update to get pushed to Steam, though.
I just ran the command 'firefox.exe --chrome="http://google.com"' and got a normal browser window on my home (blank) page. Did I do something wrong, or does it not work in FF5?
ADOM always was my favorite rougelike. Not that there's anything wrong with Nethack, it's just that ADOM is clearly superior.
BTW, the pseudo-sequel to ADOM, JADE, finally got a public release in the last couple weeks. There's not really much game to it, it's more just a taste of what's to come, but it's good to know it's not going to end up vaporware after all these years.
In Chrome you can click the wrench icon and go down to Tools, under there you see View Source (Ctrl-U). There doesn't appear to be a way to bring up the developer tools from that menu, nor a clue to the keyboard shortcut, though I usually open them with right-click -> Inspect Element on what I want to look at.
AAA games have the exact same problems you just described, except usually with less emphasis on the "new" and "innovative" parts. Remember Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap.
There's no such thing as a 18-bit CPU, they only come in powers of 2. Or a 24-bit application. Are you maybe thinking of 24/32-bit color displays?
Windows 95/98 wasn't fully 32-bit either, it still ran on top of 16-bit DOS.
Slashdot Mirror
Is Chromium close enough?

No, you're thinking of cows.

That, or they tried and failed to hack it and they think if they can get a bunch of people to leave it's the next best thing.

I remember when I got my geek card. The worst part was the questioning by the Elders of the Internet before final approval...
No, just on a slow connection.

ZZT is fun, but nothing like Dwarf Fortress. ZZT is a sort of action-adventure game, DF is best described as an RTS/fortress simulator.

He never said anything about in-game teabagging.
It's been done, it's called Desura. It's focused on indie games and mods, though there's a few older AAA games on it as well.
You're thinking of JRPGs. The "C" in CRPG means "computer", and includes game such as Baldur's Gate and Fallout, both decidedly not console-friendly.
The best part is, after using Ctrl+A to select it, due to the JS I can't even unselect it.

OT, but First Class is much better than X3 and Wolverine. Still not up to the first two movies, but not the stinkers the last two were either.
Beyond Good and Evil (2003) had a similar problem. It didn't affect gameplay, but it did cause A/V sync issues on cutscenes.
99.9% of all games are fucking garbage.

If a space-going object was assembled using tools, it's a spacecraft. Otherwise,
Though you're right that definition doesn't take rings into account.

Nice strawman. Be shame if anything were to happen to it.
I'm pretty sure they buy hardware. FOSS tends to run very slow without it.
