Both Sega and Nintendo made great systems. Nintendo just made some poor marketing descisions. Of course sega is going that way too *looks at poor dusty dreamcast, just waiting for skies of arcadia*
When I originally read this article i though "good! maybe now they'll finally get out some GOOD games!" but, alas. i guess it wasn't ment to be.
Actually, there is a Q3 for dreamcast and a PS2 version of UT, sucka dawg. and they aren't that bad. Plus you can buy a keyboard and mouse so its almost JUST LIKE the PC version.
p.s. the italics was a horrible industrial accident involving funyons and pez... or me forgeting an ending/i tag... either way
Is there Diablo 1/2 for console? How about Worcraft 1/2 and Starcraft? Or Quake 1/2/3? Or Unreal?
Wait wait wait...
lets see, diablo for console? YES WARCRAFT 2 for console? YES!
Starcraft for console? YES!
Quake 2, and Soon Quake 3 and UT for console?... what's this? YES!
Given they are all crappy knockoffs, but theyre still there. I like my dramcast. I put a game in and it works. I don't have to make it work with my computer (true, thats my computer's fault.
The U.S is probably feeling pressure from the other countriesto do something about the problem.
Our gov's gunna do something, cuz we don't liek to be laughed at and called "pu**y's"
These laws have got to be made by some old fart who turned on the net one day, looking to see if latex paint would bond to stucco and got "LATEX BONDAGE". Its by people who know nothing of the net. why do they make the laws?! oh right... democracy *chortle*
Anyone else think this guy is the coolest, and the stupidest at the same time?
We all hate MS, so hacking into them and stealing code is hilarious! But he had to think he'd be screwed. Now he has every FBI agent in the world after him.
Not true. I was actually running the same windows 95 on my 166 that i ran on my k6-2 for a while. It's wholly on topic because I was talking about AMD vs Intel.
I'm in a computer networking class at my high school and they are the most paranoid people I've ever seen. We can't have internet in our networking room for some bizzare reason like we'll take down the school LAN.
I think schools, libraries and the like are seeing the internet as a giant smut pool. The Internet has become synonymous with porn. It's sad because there are actually TONS of useful resources on the internet. Luckly some of my more open minded teachers let us use the internet on a daily basis. I have yet to hear of one single student going to an inapropriate site.
But, reguardless, my school would support this bill in a HEART BEAT. I believe many schools are like mine. If they could they would have a person watching over the shoulder of every student at any time.
Let kids know that this is not the place for inapropriate material and let them know the consiquences, but filtering software required on all computers is a bit hasty. The kids using these computers won't go to these sites at school, especially if they know the sites are being logged.
In conclusion, I feel that filters are freedom hindering devices that don't even work because they can't bloock every site and they block some that are genuinely good. Let the people police themselves.
Napster isn't making money from any "fat cats". Right now it seems that they are not in it for the money.
There arent blatant ads everywhere like SOME programs (aim, icq, other "Free downloads").
I think Napster is doing everything right in how a company providing a "Free service" should do
That's a good point, but what Anti-Napster people are saying is that people AREN'T using it just to sample before they buy. If we could trust everyone in the world to download, decide and buy a CD, Napster would be no problem.
I don't use napster mainly because I have one of the world's slowest net connections, but many of my friends do. A lot of them haven't bought a cd in over a year. They download them and burn them.
Don't get me wrong, I like Napster, as a concept and a reality, but I also like playing devil's advocate. ^_^
The problem they have with Napster is that they're going on the honor system that people won't just download the Mp3 in lou of plunking down the money for a CD. Which I believe a lot do. I think there is something to be said for owning a physical copy of the cd, but maybe that's just me.
When I look at getting a computer, or just a new processor I don't go "well is it AMD, or Intel?" I look at price, recommendation from others, and past experience.
I'm still running on an old AMD K6-2 chip and I've had very minimal problems. When I had an old Pentium 166, it was horrible! Slow, crashes a lot, and none of my programs (read:games) worked. But, my father got a New P3 and that thing runs like a champ.
I'm not going to pick AMD, or Intel to be on a side, I'm going to find the most reliable one, for the lowest price I can afford, Reguardless of brand.
I see Nullsoft as a bunch of people doing what they love and releasing it for free. That's great. Then, they're bought out by MEGACORP AOL. Their actions are like a message trying to show us that even though they did sell out, they're not "sellouts".
You have to pick your battles. When you're Nullsoft, you don't take AOL/Time Warner on head first. Widdle away.
PS: does anyone know where to get AIMazing? The article said it's still available, and I searched nullsoft.com but I can't find it.
Tell me about it! It took him 3 emails just to START to answer it. He had to make PERFECTLY clear to this man that he has NOTHING to do with the Open Source Movement!
Get off your high horse and just answer the poor guys queston!
I haven't tried it, but it's on a local morning show (Sarah & Vinnie) and they advertise it EVERY day, so I just thought I'd throw it out there. Help them make their ad bucks worth something. ^_^
I remember back when I didn't know what Linux was. People would talk about it and I would nod and smile. I remember some people ravign about it. I thought, "ok sure". That was until I tried it.
Linux is definately an up-and-coming OS. It's getting some very popular ports, and will only get more as time goes on.
A bank that would choose to lose customers rather than fix something that will, most likely, be a big problem in the future is very stupid, in my opinion. Maybe only a handfull of users need it now, but thats still customers. And what about if (when!) it goes mainstream. Wouldn't you rather be on top of it and say you support it, rather than have to deal with it when it becomes and issue and loses you business?
Actually, back in my old Architechtual Designs II class, we had to do a project that was sort of a "virtual walkthrough" of a house we designed. We were supposed to use 3D Studio, but none of us could afford it (yes, they made us pay for our own. They were a little cheaper, watered down studen versions)
Instead, we used the quake1 level editor we got free somewhere. It was kinda lame, in our eyes, but the teacher loved it! Got an "A" if I remember right.
When I think of Smart ID Cards in Hong Kong, I see "Blade Runner" come to life. If it works in HK, why not in the US... or AROUND THE GLOBE. Not that I'm against it, as long as it doesn't do 24/7 tracking on me... *looks around*... not that I'm paranoid or anything.;)
This is a big step towards making sci-fi novels a reality.
The Internet is an ever changing, ever evolving entity. To map it would be like trying to map every skin cell of every human on earth.
Every day millions UPON million dissapear and as many are created. And thats just the pages. The individual posts on each one of those pages is even MORE.
I think this company has made a bostful claim but couldn't back it up. They're hoping no one calls them on it.
I tend to agree.
Has anyone read the book "Heart of the Comet"
In it, one of the main characters dies, but its "uploaded" into the computer. they then acknowledge that this is no longer who they knew but a "copy" of the person.
If your conciousness is dupicated, it isn't you; in the same way that if you close yourself, that clone isnt you, is it? its a copy of you.

7 and a half megs?! whoa doggie. Have some consideration for those of us who have slow connections. Winamp Lite is less than a meg.
And who made you the on topic police, eh? ;)
sonique crashes on me, and hogs too much memory
Windows Media player? Talk about bloat!
Nullsofts got a good product, and I'm glad it's free.
I was looking in their plugins section. Silly me. GO NULLSOFT!

Or a BIG portion in this case.
Those wacky Chinese are at it again! "IF" they can do it whithout radiating everyone Fallout style. BIG IF!
Is it really worth it, China?
