I don't live in Germany, but Ahead (makers of Nero) is a German company. Linux seems to be sorta popular there. What I'm stretching to say in my sleepy haze is that I dunno, maybe the market is ready for it there.
Apparently the VirtualPC code is on tap for use in XB-Next. I think that MS is basically trying to out-Playstation Sony while publicly belittling Nintendo (hey, just my opinion). Having backwards-compatability is a must.
Nah, there could be a thing that plugs into one of the serial ports (like the cube has) that had a connector. Then, you plug into this connector a little bridge that accepts a type of cart. You use the revolution controller to control the games. It would be hard to get it to map the n64 monstrosity right, though. And Nintendo would never do this. Why? They love re-releasing old games and making even more money off of them.
Maybe this is why OSS is generally good? Instead of one giant monolithic codebase (ex: Windows), we have hundreds of little packages where people actually know WTF all the code does, or at least have a team of people who can cover the entire codebase in terms of knowledge.
Maybe you're not familiar with ADD, but it's not just the hyper kids. Some people who have ADD actually have LESS "wild spurts", and don't "get into trouble". They seem normal, except for the fact that they can't focus on things and seem bored, tired, and shy. It's called "inattentive" ADD.
Um, yeah. So everything the US Gov't spends money on should come from here? It's not really possible. Some things can't be made here (I'm talking about some natural elements that are not found in the USA, for example: chromium). Also, nearly all high-tech parts (circuit boards, etc) are made in places like Taiwan.
These numbers are all standards of the IEEE (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Wikipedia article). The standards that this group comes up with are usually referred to by their numbers, such as IEEE 1394 (Firewire) or the 802.11 standards. The 802.11 standards are different implementations of wireless LAN-type tech. The letters represent revisions/different standards.
Yeah, I noticed that. I was thinking of sending a friendly question about what I could study to maybe contribute to the project, but the mailinglist archives kinda scared me away from it.
why would it be a problem if he was arguing with a Firefox developer?
This is a problem because it's like telling an artist what their inspiration for a painting was, or telling a contractor what he used to build a building. The person who actually did the work would know WTF they're talking about.
You must be using some very generic and non-complex apps if ALL of your old 9x stuff works. I am forced to use DOSBox for games that previously would work (in 98SE) and I also have apps that refuse to work in XP, even in the "compatability" mode.
I know this is off-topic, but does anyone know if X is a big source of bloat? I know that the Y-Windows project was started, but I know part of that was due to the convulted ways X programming is nowadays...
Now I laugh at those using MS office who have had to download security patches. I'm not sure how M$ fucked up that bad that there was security exploits in their OFFICE SUITE.
Whenever a Microsoft product (other than Windows) allows virus execution, you only need remember one thing: everthing MS sells is "integrated" to the point where the apps and the OS are one being. This is not a Good Thing.

In addition, on this page, they don't acknowledge Motorola's trademark on "AltiVec". It sounds like these guys really have their IP knowledge down.
Yeah, I refuse to buy a new PC laptop until they have dual xeons and 2 gigs of ram...
And if you can't get enough people together to pay SOMEBODY in this whole world to do it, it must not be worth doing.
This is kind of the converse of what you said, but it is wise to remember that Van Gogh never sold a painting in his life.

Sounds just like another way of being a kid to me.
So it's not a problem, even when symptoms persist into adulthood? OK, Freud.
You missed DS.
the PS2 controller is the only one with actually intuitive control schemes,
I enjoy the PS controller's arthritis-inducing shape, myself!

In any case, there is always the risk of advancing things in a way that just isn't good for gameplay,

Aye, but if some enterprising citizens band together and donate bandwith, it wouldn't be paid for by the municipalities...

If by "lighter" you mean "contains 10,000 tabs and checkboxes in every window and dialog", then yeah, I'd agree with you.
A huge amount of websites designed for [IE]
I think you meant to say "a huge amount of nonstandard hacks designed to make IE rendering not look like vomit".

Perhaps you should read this.
Sadly, I'm probably one of the youngest people who used Mosaic. These kids and their demands... "where's the internet on your computer?"
