The Advantage had adjustable turbo. So not only could you come in first place, but you could hit the jackpot in SMB2 every time, and fire continuously in Mega Man (only 3 shots allowed on the screen at a time).
For instance, Home can only connect to a network through DHCP. The ability to join static networks was taken out.
Wow. Microsoft must have really goofed there. I mean, I have seen literally hundreds of machines running XP Home 'joined' to 'static networks'. Imagine, all those XP Home machines that through some massive glitch were mistakenly granted features only available to XP Pro! Kind of lucky that they were that way, though, since one of the ISPs here uses static addresses rather than DHCP.
Actually, I have sitting next to me a machine running XP Home. Let's see here... Control Panel, Network Connections, Local Area Connection.. hey, look! This one has the glitch too! I can configure it with a static address, just like that!
A Homo Sapiens with a pointy stick is about the most fearsome thing in existence
This brought to mind the awesome scene in Footfall, where a bushman neatly skewers one of the invaders from a good distance with nothing more than a spear he made himself. The Fithp didn't think that a man with a spear could possibly be any threat to them.
This has little to do with the topic at hand and I fully expect it to be modded as such.
Is this really due to the brain "working on" problems in your sleep? Or is this because the hours after waking are when the brain is at its operational best and it is easier to process large amounts of information at that time?
I'm absolutely certain that there's a "trigger" button that tell the thing when you want it to detect motion. To "reposition", you'd just release the trigger, move the wand to the right, press the trigger, and go left again. To me that seems intuitive and it's certainly the way I'd expect it to behave for most games. Otherwise it would be far too easy for an involuntary movement to screw up your gaming.
Didn't SBC recent buy AT&T? SBC has pursued bizarre patent claims like this before, I wonder how much of this is SBC looking through AT&T's patent portfolio and thinking, "Hmmmm...."
If I'm right we can expect a lot more of these from "AT&T" in the near future.
My moral choices are based on what I feel is the best thing for myself and my fellow human beings at the time. Sure, sometimes I make a bad decision. But so far I haven't killed anyone, and I've done quite a bit in my life to better the lives of people I'll never met. The Bible isn't needed in order to have decent moral judgement.
In fact, since I think chucking rocks at gay people until they die is a bad thing, I'd go so far as to say that my system of morals is superior to the Bible's.
If Google did this, they'd probably lose the right to do business in China. China would file some sort of formal complaint with the US government. Not sure of the terminology here but it would be the diplomatic equivalent of a nastygram. The US government cannot afford to piss off China while China holds most of the US debt, so it would first request, then require that Google shut down the proxy project. In the meantime, China would be imprisoning and/or executing those who used the proxy servers, all the while vocally blaming Google and the US for the civil ruckus being stirred up. Shareholders would be dumping Google stock like crazy.
In other words, it would probably turn into a real shitstorm. Google would go down in flames, and really have accomplished nothing except the needless imprisonment of Chinese citizens, the destruction of a great company, and the further souring of diplomatic relations between the US and China.
This is a company with more employees than most cities have citizens, and they're trying to make people believe they're small. I wonder whose brilliant idea that was, and how long they'll remain employed at their current post...
I have to say that "Teddy" from the movie AI was a very appealing use of robotics. I look forward to the day that in addition to traditional pets, one can also choose from an assortment of muppet-like, semi-intelligent beasties that can also help keep your kid out of trouble...
a robot pet can never learn love, loyalty, hate or other emotions. It can at best closely mimic the behaviour
Prove you aren't doing the same thing. I'm sure you can put on a very impressive display of -acting- angry, but you can never prove that you -are- angry.
Slashdot Mirror
investigate the dark energy that seems to be ripping the universe apart
Wasn't that an anime plot? Or maybe a Final Fantasy game... someone fetch Butz and have him check it out.
I've only played 2 games where the gameplay actually looked as good as the screenshots.
Guild Wars, and F.E.A.R.
Mind you, the latter runs like a slideshow on my system, but BOY is it pretty. And creepy.
You know, that just about caused me physical pain. I'm fairly certain my brain tried to liquify and run out my ears.
Interesting. Do rolling papers cost so much due to a tax on them? Do the proceeds of said tax go directly to Philip-Morris?

In conclusion, you're a doofus.
Actually, joystick perfection was achieved with the NES Advantage.
Anyone who has ever owned one will agree with me.

There's a similar, if more crude, example that works better in English.
A comma is the difference between "I had to help my uncle, Jack, off his horse" and "I had to help my uncle Jack off his horse".

I fully expect all such measures to be blocked in the USA by the ADA.
So let China build 'em. When all X billion of China's citizens have a flying car, it'll be too late to legislate them out of existence.

Actually, I rather like this idea.

And then Ross Perot would invade Canada.

You aren't going to get that out of a computer chip
Not yet, anyway. Give it about, say, 10 years.
