Good...deflect criticism from those who have control of the budget, to those who have no control over the budget. Look, the New York Times said something dumb! Forget about the man in the White House and the folks on Capitol Hill.
Congradulations, you've taken the first step towards becoming a partisan hack. Maybe you'll be on Crossfire someday!
Either your TV is 20+ years old, or it's a total piece of shit. You can get TVs from a dumpster that have composite inputs. Take that $25 you were gonna spend on an RF modulator and buy a TV from Goodwill.
Blitz: The League by Midway will be out around October...should be a pip. Your character can do steroids and break other player's necks (PS2 and Xbox only).
Most criminologists will tell you that severity of punishment is not a significant deterrant. Likelihood of getting caught is a much more significant deterrant.
I have a Wavebird. It suffers from interference. I know I'm not alone on this. Many of my friends have told me they won't play Resident Evil 4 with a wavebird because "R" doesn't stay down when you keep it down.
The Logitech PS2s are pretty good except they don't last. My friend frequently replaces the buttons on his Logitech.
Apparently so, retard. Get your dog's dick out of your mouth long enough to play Jet Grind Radio or I'll be performing the lobotomy myself, with a fucking chainsaw.
The primary OS on the Dreamcast was a WinCE variant, although SEGA's internal teams tended to use SEGA's own OS to reduce resource usage.
No, 95% of games who made games for Dreamcast used SEGAKATANA.
WinCE compatibility came at a cost-namely, reducing the powerful Dreamcast to Playstation-level graphics.
Worms, The Next Tetris, and Hidden and Dangerous were among the few to use the WinCE OS (loaded from the game disc, not internal to the DC itself), and only because they were ports of PC games.
They aren't called DTV converters. usually they are called ATSC or digital receivers. They have all the outputs that will allow you to connect your current TV to them (they will dumb down the HD signal to 525i).
Apple is a monopoly on PPC hardware. Of course this doesn't count the big iron pushed by IBM for its servers.
Or the jillion other places (cars, game consoles, medical devices etc) where PPCs are used. Apple has a monopoly over Apple hardware. And Dell has a monopoly over Dell hardware. That's illegal, call in the feds!
So Apple shot it in the head, it stumbled near Microsoft and died, now Microsoft gets the blame. I don't buy it.
You mean when Gasse wanted millions upon millions to make BeOS the next version of Mac OS? If he hadn't tried to play hardball, Apple may have bought Be. They decided to buy NeXT instead.
Hopefully, you read my post and are now aware of how stupid you are. Perhaps now you're considering jumping off a bridge. And maybe it's not such a bad idea!
The Xbox 360's procedural synthesis capabilities look quite impressive, and I'm not as convinced as I was before that the PS3 would spank the Xbox 360.
What the heck? This is 99% speculation. Is there any reason to start off with a fanboy potshot?
The only power that any next-gen system needs is the power to output an HD resolution. None of the graphics I've seen so far looks like they couldn't be done on a Gamecube or Xbox.
Hopefully, now that we've got this nearly photorealistic power at our command, games will evolve the way that painting did when the camera was invented. Realism just becomes another style (and a boring and lazy one at that). Let's see some avante-garde approaches to video games for once. Stylistic innovation that I can butter my teeth with.
The real problem is that Apple isn't willing to BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH an ancient dialect of Swahili still spoken in some remote villages
Yhat's a nice story...but it has nothing to do with reality. Apple doesn't have the time or inclination to hand-hold KDE developers. Apple isn't going much beyond the LGPL, so what? The free software zealots should be happy big firms like Apple and IBM are raising the visibility of open source software. They are taking esoteric free software like KHTML and Zeroconf and making it usable for the everyday computer user. What do they give back? Legitimacy! That's worth far more than source code.
while there are the Apple fanboys bitching why KHTML doesn't have this patch or that patch even though the almighty Apple gave them the patch a zillion years ago.
Apple fanboys only care about one product based on KHTML, can you guess what it is? I'll give you a hint: it no longer relies on KHTML developers.
You know what would really help Half-Life 2?

Half-Life 2 - Aftermath

If Simon would quit being all British and pissy and stuff. And if Paula Abdul would get more plastic surgery. Actually, she and the fat black guy could go under the knife-they could take some of the fat from the black guy's ass and put it into her face so it's not so sharp and angular. That ho looks like a bird of prey as it is.
But who am I kidding, I'll never be the next Half Life 2 Idol...
I dunno about square, but some projectors will do side-by-side display of two different sources, so maybe if you could pipe 1 output to your composite, 1 to svideo, 1 for VGA and 1 for DVI you could achieve it(?)
Who thinks that NDAs are unenforceable? They are a staple of the business world, especially the tech industry. This isn't a precedent for NDAs. I think you're thinking about EULAs. It's easy to do if you spend way too much time on Slashdot-
Sorry dude, you're repeating a myth. 80% of all G4s sold went to Apple. "Refocusing on the embedded market" is simply not true-Motorola continued to lose ground in the high-end embedded to MIPS and ARM based CPUs prior to the announcement of the Freescale spinoff. The embedded G4s suffered from a lack of updates just as its desktop cousins did.
The real reason the G4 couldn't get it up is that prior to Freescale's spin-off, Motorola's chip division was poorly managed and poorly funded-Intel and AMD hired away the best talent. Their ancient fabs were being run without fans up to half the day to "reduce electricity costs," which had the effect of gumming up the works and further reducing chip yields.
"Never attribute to malice what can be explained by simple stupidity" is the rule here. Motorola's chip division was crashing and burning due to poor management.
They did not decide "Hey, Apple potentially lost us millions, let's lose hundreds of millions on an uncompetitive chip, screwing ourselves as much as Apple screwed us!"
Yeah...and create incompatibilities or pointless upgrades (slightly higher resolutions? So what, it should be in HD already).
There's a reason that the most successful consoles don't play the "upgrade" game. It divides your market and makes it harder on your developers, for little or no return.

Thing is, the PSP looks like it could get you laid.
The way a game console looks can get you laid. You heard it here first, folks.

Wireless controllers suck. Why are they going to be mandatory on the new consoles? I look forward to interference and loads of batteries. Fuck!
