It comes with WinCE, whether it's burned in ROM or on CD, it comes with WinCE. This means MS royalties, this means further meat to their attempts at getting into the embedded market, this means no sales of dreamcast to me EVER.
It's like the preinstalled windows thing again, I wonder if you can take the WinCE CD back for a refund?
It's more a case of not reporting a genuine positive. What if someone decodes a signal reading "Hey dumb humans, over here! We're going to eat you!" but their hacked client barfs the message in a frenzy of buffer overruns, no-one will ever know that the message was there.
If someone twigs that this has happened, how will they then figure out which signal yielded the positive result?
Basically, testing that a result is correct is easy, it's when the correct result isn't put forward that the sh*t hits the fan.
So they're making it into a set-top box then. The amiga is dead, all that's left is a name, which they're flogging for all it's worth.
Shame, it was my third computer system and my third favourite.

I selected the "hardware" story type when I submitted the link, why on earth would someone who just junks most hardware subs be let loose on submissions that are flagged as "hardware"?
Nahh, there'd just be lots of stories about Java and coffee instead of penguins!;-)

So why is it that when I submitted a story about multi-CPU (6 or 8) PCI StrongARM boards about three weeks ago, it was ignored? The idea behind the boards were to run a beowulf cluster on each board, with up to four boards in each machine, 32 megs of RAM per chip. A prototype run has already started.
I've been trying to figure out why the story didn't run, considering that we get stuff about "Dilbert the cartoon" and some crap about a company that prints Pi on a bit of card amongst some other unbelievable trivia recently, it's odd that this site's slogan reads in part "stuff that matters". I don't think I read more than about 25% of the stories on this site any more, and I only read them when I'm waking up in the morning and my brain's not up to speed yet.
Why didn't the story run? It had a commercial backer, it was linux-specific, it came at a time when nothing else of any interest was being reported, and it was INTERESTING! 6 233MHz processors on a PCI card for less than $2000 with 32 megs each, up to four boards in a machine? Is that not INTERESTING?
I don't mind some trivia, but the trivia here is overwhelming the good stuff. Perhaps it's me, maybe stuff like the recent "live" video feed of some penguins is more important after all.
For those that are interested, the link for the boards is;

Does anyone know of any good slashdot alternatives? I've had "find slashdot alternative" on my todo list for several weeks now but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Me for one, Knight Lore was a revelation, Rare deserve kudos for that. It's a shame they moved across to programming kids games on a kids machine though, I'd hoped that perhaps they might grow up with me.
My system's a mess, but it's *my* mess, *I* made it into this mess, not some far-away schemer on another continent, it was me! I ballsed it up myself!
Just install what you need to get a bootable system with network access and a compiler, then everything else you download and install. What other way is there?
Hmm, the ultimate mouse --- a keyboard with a mouse ball on the bottom! Or a keyboard broken in two halves, each half with a mouse ball and a wrist strap, strap them onto your hands and you need never reach for the mouse/keyboard again!
Prof Warwick is a publicity man, he's out to make his name, sell his books and promote the department of cybernetics at Reading University. I used to be there, he's a nice chap, but he comes out with the scare stories because that's all the mainstream media (and hacker web sites) are interested in.
It's funny how the other groups denounced what would seem to be a perfectly good idea. The LoU backtracked pretty quickly. I'd imagine that it was pointed out to them that it would be a bad idea to get mixed up in international politics without government protection!
I can just imagine all the other hacker groups saying "Jeez, they tryin' to get us killed?!?!".

Strangely enough, it was apparently produced before Sabre Wulf, but was regarded as being too far ahead to be released!
I for one bought every game from Ultimate up until Nightshade, which was crap compared to Knight lore, which also beat Alien 8 (too slow).

Just watch out for that itchy nose though.
