not going to get into a fight with you, but, as I said, "What they did with their "unofficial" pokemon guide book is what every online or text gaming magazine does in the world. They print screenshots and use names. " They referrs to Imagine. Also, DR has wisely stopped its coverage of nintendo because there is no reason to invite a cease and desist order from nintendo.
it's rather clear cut. You need to sit down, read the letters, and give DR a chance before you continue to base your posts solely on "Daily Radar Sucks." check out this. I think it makes my case completely.
It is disturbing this is rated "Informative." It was always about Imagine getting sued. The fact that DR didn't want to display any images is quite obvious; as a child company, it would be straight out dumb. BUT, don't paint DR too be stupid, nor Imagine. What they did with their "unofficial" pokemon guide book is what every online or text gaming magazine does in the world. They print screenshots and use names. It has always been done. The fact that Nintendo took action is what is disrespectful; they are sueing a company that effectily advertises for them for free.
Your post has some of the most spin I have ever seen on/. It's not true, and the moderators that gave this person points for this unbased, unfair comment should also be ashamed. Before you label something "informative," make sure it indeed contains information.
the pci card that plays dc games as described here. I could belive sega leaving the hw market (or just making a computer add-on) because it is quite clear that software is what makes their money.
And as for this being "the new paradigm of 21st century computing" I'd disagree there too. Computers have always provided some form of entertainment, from Space Invaders to Quake (and that's just the games) but they also provide other things that aren't just for fun like word processing or database access.
And you don't suspect the MS paperclip is meant to entertain? I feel that to an extent, he is right. For all those that can afford it, which is what the market targets, entertainment is the driving force. Entertainment is what sells. I don't think the paper clip is a selling point, but I actually think its kinda cute and quite useful when you have zero clue what yer doing.
Hey, I think it's a great compliment to him and tribute to his work to take note that he had a huge impact on the world (and despite that managed to get me to refuse to use one of his caclulators.) Anyway, like a nother guy here said, chill. If we can joke about him without guilt, we know we respect him.
but if microsoft came out with a version of windows based on bsd, would you throw away your redhat or yer slackware, or yer corel, or yer suse, or yer mandrake...just because the big (big) boys developed something similar?
I very much disagree with you on thhis case. I have been developing a webpage that is dedicated to comparig setups via gaming benchmarks. Why, you ask? Well, when it comes down to it, those are the numbers that count. Real world numbers. Who cares how many megs the bus can push or whatever? It is the final outcome that matters. To this extent, web sites that curently use all these gaming and professional becnhmarks to test the setups are doing exactly what we need; they are giving us the numbers that count in the end.
I think the last thing we want to do is decide on some arbitrary index to rate all cpus. It would be a synthetic number that doesn't mean anything in the real world aside from bragging rights. It's like the Mhz war. It's a whole lot of bull. What matters is the final outcome, not the theoretical. So, my input is that we must stay away from that golden standardized index.
Sure, this makes it harder for the average consumer who goes to compusa planning to buy a computer, but at this point, anything you buy is damned good, so I am not horribly concerned about that.
Actually, I would love an internet appliance with the following specs:
-instant boot-up
-super light/thin with built in touchscreen lcd moniter
-separate wiresless keyboard
-bluetooth connectivity to a LAN via an "airport"
(or atleast tethered ethernet capable)
-browser, email
-cheap(ish)
basically take a laptop, chop off the computer part and keep the moniter, and have it touchscreen.
am I asking too much? well, in 2001, yes, but I think there is (or will be) a great demand for something like this.
don't even try to tell me you wouldn't want one of these.
Ah, yes. But did they really slow down? No. They flat out stopped. and did it work? yes. Therefore, it is my recommendation that we travel at ludicrous speed only using mars's athmosphere to slow us down.
Hm...maybe we should get an atmosphere up on mars first.
If it did, then the rules for Risk would have to be changed...with a train from the canada to nearly china, I think that single territory troop reallocation rule is put highly into question...
For all those that say that this is unimportant, that all the tests still show the duron beating the new celeron, you gotta realize that durons don't run on all those celeron systems that are out in our homes now. Point being that I would much prefer upgrading my celeron system to a 100Mhz bus celeron than buying a whole new mobo and chip. For those upgraders out there (and there are so many of them) a 800Mhz celeron is very nice news indeed.
well..public colleges maybe...at public clusters. That's really not too bad. Private colleges can't really be told to do this, I am sure none would comply..
As for the AP test, java what? the AP test was entirely on paper! We coded the old fashioned way, with scratch paper and a #2 pencil!
it still is on paper. You don't get a debugger. It's no different now.
The only difference is what language the material is tested in. For me (took it this past year) it was in c++ and I must profess, while c++ has allowed me to work on unix project lately, I wish I knew java more because it seems java is more universal, what with VM. Anyway, I got off subject for this responce, but for all those saying it should be tested in pseudo code, I thinks that is just silly. We got the time...we might as well learn a language where you can compile programs and see them work. I think the biggest turn off of all would be to take a class is conceptual programming. Learning how to write algorithms that may or may not work and you don't know cause you can't test them.

Either way, sega isn't going anywhere too soon.
Then again, when the company asks you were you learned about it, you would be in quite a pickle. ;-)
Kinda like a bad sitcom if you ask me.
Makes you think, doesn't it?
Goats are good too =)
Don't you think G3 is a little overkill for a phone? And what is motorola doing supplying philips with chips for their phones?
He meant 3G.
Honestly, I never heard of a pillsbury bake-off. Bake-off is def everyday language, and I feel that they should reliquish their rights to the phrase

Hmm, I made this argument in the last thread about this, and I got beat down for saying it. I personally agree with you.

So much a monopoly, no wonder we're number one!
sorry, but it is literally still in dev. I will be very glad, however, to have it /.ed when it is complete ;-)
just a thought
Is it me or does sound like he is trying to build a robot that will end up robbing a convenience store at gun point?

Not that I have ever been to one of those sites...

Just had to do it...
