Yes, you are correct, but I was thinking along the lines (no pun intended) of the relative blur of a TV screen compared with any PC screen along with contrast issues and interlacing.
I've been working the last 6 months on MHP applications. One of the things I did was convert a 800x600 website to an MHP application. You'd think you'd only lose a little screen estate (PAL is pretty close to 800x600), but when you factor in the minimum size of the fonts you have to use (and the "safe-area") because of those issues, the whole layout had to be reworked.
That makes sense. Although a screen that copies the less favourable aspects of a TV screen would be great for MAME. Portable arcade gaming like you've never seen it before:-)
Not exactly right, but close. It was released in Japan as Puckman, and when Midway got the rights and released it in the US, it was renamed for the reasons you stated.

Well, I bet that if this update to XP gets released, there will also be trolls asking "Why is this important", and they WILL also be modded down. And if you read at -1 you'll find enough "linux is teh suck" comments with this article.
Oh my god. How did this thread degenerate into "The Jerry Springer Show"?
Don't start hitting with the chairs just yet. We could do a DNA test to determine who the real father of quantum computing is (and that person should be hit with the chairs for giving his child such a nerdy name)
Perhaps, with this digital skin, the industry can make movies in the future (perhaps 10 years for truely believable ones) that doesn't put people in jepardy to STD's, AND it doesn't exploit young girls. But I'm sure there will be some people that object to even digital actors "exploiting themselves".
Out of the blue, this comment made me think of George Lucas. Don't ask me why.

Oh well, the developers can't win whatever they do, so they'd best ignore everyone and do what they want to do. They want a tool that THEY like to use. If other people like it, fine. If not, fine too.
You don't like it? Either use something else, create your own software or adapt the current software (or pay someone to do it).
Me, I have no problem switching between Photoshop and the Gimp. I had more trouble switching between photoshop 5 and 6.
it uses a stylus for text-input, just like a PDA. So maybe not ideal for vi (what do I know, never owned a PDA or a P800), but still a step up from "a funky cell-phone kepad".

Firstly, as someone else already pointed out, javascript has nothing to do with java. Secondly, if you want a (as you say) "powerful multi-purpose high-level [scripting] language like Python" in java, why not use Jython? (note : I don't know python, I don't know jython, just making a suggestion)

The only downside is it tends to turn its users into partisans in the same way that emacs does
I've noticed that at work. On the other hand, I'm becoming a real Eclipse-zealot myself (and why not? It IS the best;-)
The one thing, for me, that IntelliJ has that should be added to Eclipse is code folding.But I'm not too sure about that one. Back in the day when I was using NetBeans things could get so cluttered that code-folding could help, but now, using Eclipse, I haven't really felt the need for it.
Googlefight is great !!!!
some results : vi vs. emacs , gnome vs. kde
We finally have a way to find out who's best !!!!
or worst??? Maybe winning the googlefight is a bad thing.... On one hand, you know that the winner of a googlefight has more support(ers). But on the other hand, maybe is needs more support.
AARGH ! this is too difficult for me. If anybody needs me, i'll be in my room whining about how my pathetic little brain fails me every time i need it (once a month, is that too much to ask?)

Mrs. Bun: I don't want any spam!
Mr. Bun: Why can't she have egg, bacon, spam and sausage?
Mrs. Bun: That's got spam in it.
Mr. Bun: It hasn't got as much spam in it as spam, egg, sausage and spam has it?
Mrs. Bun: (over Vikings starting again) Could you do me egg, bacon, spam and sausage without the spam then?
Waitress: Ech!
Mrs. Bun: What do you mean ech! I don't like spam!
Vikings: Lovely spam, wonderful spam....etc
Waitress: Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Bloody vikings. You can't have egg, bacon, spam and sausage without the spam.

Mr. Bun: Shh dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, spam and spam. (starts Vikings off again)

Waitress: Shut up! Baked beans are off.

Wow, these moderators really don't read the articles. How is it flamebait to quote something from an article? And on top of that, it's a plea TO BE NICE (ie. anti-flamebait).

Now this is totally off-topic, and maybe I idolize Bowie too much, but I think that he'd at least be interested in it.

uhm .... that's bad, isn't it. I thought VGA screens have always been BETTER than TV screens.

In this particular case, IMHO it's more like : "I'm against the death-penalty, but I'll defend your right to have me executed".
