Am I the only one here who can see the rather hazardous applications of a program like this? I don't want anybody keeping track of how many keys I happen to be pressing when I'm typing.
Presently, most cities are in no way, shape or form set up for this sort of thing. Not just in term of tracks, but also in the dispersal of housing and business. Not to mention, especially in America, the car culture has mass transportation over a barrel.
Aggrivating this... we've seen smaller things like this in the past in various American cities, for instance Jacksonville Florida's 'People Mover' and they've gone over like a lead balloon.
Your mileage may vary, folks.. if anything's been shown in the past people *hate* to change their patterns of behavior.
Well.. I do know that we haven't seen the very last of the King of Fighters series, yet. Another KOF game called 'King of Fighters EX: Neo Blood'.
And it looks like a new wrinkle is getting added to the plot, could we possibly see additional games in the future from the same team at a different company like say, Capcom?
...I was planning on buying an 1800+ series processor today. With the 1900+ out its price will undoubtedly be driven down, since it's no longer the bleeding edge of performance.
You can't play a good game for a system if it never comes out in your region and you don't use a device to break the region encoding on your machine.
Sega's had several very pretty, well-developed games for both the Saturn and the Dreamcast that it allowed to die on the vine before they came here. Soul Hackers and several of Red's Far East of Eden games for the Saturn.. Sakura Taisen 3 and Guilty Gear X (surprise, it was originally a DC title!) for the Dreamcast.
A better way to descirbe it would ne that Sega has gotten out of the consumer hardware business. They can no longer afford to bleed the money that is releasing an arcade machine motherboard in a comsumer-targeted game system.
Sega the company, especially Sega of America, I have very little respect for. The release pattern for Sega games on the American consoles Sega's put out since the Genesis has been both Broken and Wrong.
Hopefully involvement with Microsloth, the Black Goat of Redmond With a Thousand Young will teach the rather shoddy marketing department at Sega a thing or three they forgot after the folks who made the Genesis successful left.
Right now America is operating in a wartime mentality, and if there's anything that's gotten the American people in more trouble it's got to be decisions made by our leaders during wartime related to its citizens.
A 'security' matter is currently operating under a whole different sort of buzzwords and considerations than it would not be operating under were we at peace. Or at least thought we were at peace.
It's good to see that *someone* out there has the nerve to stand up to The Black Goat of the Woods With a Thousand Young of the software industry. Amazing how much of a difference politicians not owing their positions to these guys makes, isn't it?
I can remember a time when buying Windows was a realtivly painless experience. Over the past several years though I've noticed a steady increase in the price of buying the dratted OS. A hundred bucks for the UPGRADE? Whatever their marketing department is smoking, I'd certainly like some; must be some pretty good stuff.
Now that's really, really disappointing. I was actually proud of CN for having the nerve to show Bebop at all, if they chickened out over this I'll be very upset.
It was a sign the network was growing up and evolving a spine.
Just goes to show you. There are lies, damn lies and statistics.
I sense nothing good from this...

HP Buys Compaq

HP buying Compaq.. isn't this akin to the blind leading the blank? I do computer work part time and I've long called both HP and Compaq boxen by the same name...
Code Master of the Gameshark Code Creators' Club used that exact same arguement when he posted cheat codes for Phantasy Star Online, and those codes ultimately wrecked the distribution of special weapons and allowed script kiddies to kill their own teammates. People stopped playing the game over this and it thrashed the servers that Sega had so thoughfully provided the players of the game free of charge.
Thankfully, the cheats have gone on to other things since the fun has gone out of the game for them. Alas, we lost a lot of good players in the PSO community thanks to those codes corrupting 100s of hours worth of save data per character among other problems.
Online gaming can be construed as a community, and when the understood rules of that community are violated it isn't just the cheater who is deprived of a good gaming expereince, but the entire community as well. These drivers are not an isolated incident, not just one person has them.
The trick here is that Congres isn't informed. These are busy people who don't have the time to keep abreast of the real world on a regular basis, so they have other people tell them their opinions on such matters.
Us normal folks call these despensers of information lobbyists.

Reliability? Pshaw.. who needs the Reality of Reliability when you can make the drooling masses *think* your product is reliable.
There are three sorts of lies.
Lies...
Damn Lies...
And Statistics...

Don't the ever-grinding gears of progress just warm your heart?
...not...
Should we be relieved or terrified that 'stupid people' are being given specific protection under the law now?
