Somehow I doubt that $2k figure is for a complete dev kit (including software libraries, compilers, documentation, etc.) considering that DS kits are in the $10k range. More likely that's for a debugging/testing rig that just gives you the ability to run unsigned code (Xbox testing kits are priced similarly).
Because of the non-physical and low-visial environment that ARGs take, there's no fighting, adventuring, sword-swinging, racing, or gun shootng- in short, 70% of the gaming world wouldn't quite understand.
I dunno, hunting for payphones would qualify for about half of that.
It's a shame that there's only one company in this industry that can put on a decent show: 42 Entertainment. It's also a shame that they have to change their name for every big project they do (they were Myriad Entertainment when they made The Beast).
Pretty much every single measurement they do is useless for the #1 use of compact flash cards: higher end point&shoot and low-end DSLRs cameras. Why do I care how much CPU my computer takes to read data off a card, or how fast it can read the data? Those are both offline processes that happen while I'm shooting more pictures my the other card. The only statistic that matters to the primary customer use is the sustained write rate, which this page completely ignores.
When are they going to de-list Gamasutra for doing the same thing? Search engines get to see their articles, but they use a javascript redirect to send real browsers to the sign-in/registration page.
Programming for Windows DirectX and Xbox DirectX have about as much in common as plunging a toilet and performing liposuction. Same general motions but the details are completely different.
Of the three points, the middle (trailing dots on domain names) is the only one I hadn't considered already, as I thought browsers were smart enough to avoid it. Is there a list of browsers actually affected by it somewhere?

Which means if apple used 480x480 (stretched) MPEG-4 video (which the iPod supports at up to 2.5mbps) we would be getting full NTSC quality (plus a tiny bit).
For reference, TiVo Basic/Medium/High is 320x240 and Best is 480x480.
Thanks for the pointer. It looks like it'll work assuming that I can get the DB admin to install it and figure out how to use it. Seems like an awful lot of code for functionality I need though (compared to "FULLTEXT", "MATCH" and "IN BOOLEAN MODE").
I'd really like to move a few projects at work to Postgres, but there's one essential feature that it still appears to be lacking: FULLTEXT indexes. I don't even need the fancy ranking stuff MySQL does - a boolean word match would be enough.
Women are made from sand, and would we want something made of sand on the internet? If you've ever taken a laptop to the beach you know - sand and computers don't mix.
The Flash Video files created by the Zentu encoder use the open source library FFMPEG which is a derivative of MPEG 4 . Use of the FFMPEG is governed by the LGPL who license can be viewed in full here. Our MPEG 4 Patent License is filed with MPEGLA.
Why FFMPEG?
We've found that FFMPEG is one of the most high quality MPEG 4 codecs in the world. The quality of the Flash Video that Zentu creates with FFMPEG is absolutely stellar!! Please visit our Flash Video Showcase to check out the amazing quality of our samples.
How do we use FFMPEG?
As described by the LGPL Zentu is a "work that uses the Library". Which means that Zentu for Flash has accessors that use the FFMPEG "library" but is not itself a derivative of that library. Furthermore the FFMPEG library was not modified in any way to work with Zentu nor is it compiled as part of the Zentu executable.

I didn't say it was any good, just that it was the only commercial one I knew about.
Who Is Benjamin Stove seems to be the current big (promotional) one. Not sure what it's promoting yet though.

Allegedly? The article quotes Major Nelson (The Figurehead of Xbox Live) saying it does that. In what way does that qualify as "alleged" information?
So apparently I'm wrong.
Oh, and apparently the new MacBook Pro produces energy too.
My guess:
As of MWSF 2007, the product lineup will be:
Mac Pro - MacBook Pro
Mac Mini - MacBook Mini (10" screen)
iMac - iMacBook
possible: MacServe
Remember the first PowerPC systems? Not bad, BUT...
The 6100/7100 weren't bad at all. The bad change was NuBus->PCI.
It wouldn't be that hard to write a program that wrote little reading comprehension tests that would be very hard for a spammer to solve.
3rd party titles have never really mattered for Nintendo console launches, so this is really a non-issue.
Not sure if the apple logo was me, but the covers and the WTC image were.
Looks like it's time for a new icon for XBOX stories.

It didn't scroll vertically, but there was up/down movement facilitated by pipes and beanstalks.

If it supports flash, the new "product" is Sorenson-based (v3 I think, maybe v4) instead MPEG4 like last time.
I was referring to the tool linked in the parent. Your tool looks great, albeit Windows-only.
