Maybe you're right. All I know is I see lots of bad color banding in Halo that I normally don't see in games running with 32bits of color. Really bad color banding, sometimes.
I don't care what anyone says, as great as having a keyboard and mouse is, the Xbox control pad is nearly as good. Yes, most FPSes before Xbox sucked, but the control scheme, at least in Halo, is really good. I think the only reason why people who have played halo still complain is just because they're not used to it. I wasn't used to it either at first, so of course I'd prefer what I'm used to, but that doesn't mean a keyboard/mouse is inherently much better, just that you're used to the keyboard/mouse setup. Comparing playing Halo with an Xbox controller with playing Q3 with an DC controller is kind of retarded. I believe that a halo matchup between an Xbox user and a PC user would be (almost) fair. The Xbox controller (especially the Controller-S) is very effective.
The thing you have to keep in mind is you can't just plaster a bunch of frames on the subway walls to make it look animated. They have to use these special lenses that makes each frame always in the same spot relative to you. So the shape of these lenses do the following. You're looking at a frame and it's directly in front of you. Then you move over an inch, and it's still directly in front of you. And then another inch, and again, it's still directly in front of you. Until, the last inch, suddenly the next frame appears exactly where the last frame was: directly in front of you. So it's this continuous thing where there is always a frame *directly* in front of you. If you didn't have those lenses it wouldn't work.
What you call "complaining" I call "informing". Since Netscape can do whatever they want, does that mean we shouldn't talk about it? I mean seriously man, get with it.
I totally agree with everything you an he are saying; in fact, I don't think there is anyone who agrees with you more about it. But the problem with "intellectual property" is not so simple as calling it a "societally-created fiction". After all, personal property is "societally-created". Just the mere fact that it is created by society does not make it wrong or bad. The point is that "intellectual property" is not just a "societally-created fiction," it's a societally-created fiction that does not accomplish what it was designed to do, and does more harm than good. Personal property, on the other hand, as a societally-created fiction, is a good thing, and is uaually a good thing.
Perhaps it does, but I've never heard of any such thing, so I'd disagree with anything that just assumes the license has such a provision. Unless of course, that's standard practice. So, if it is, tell me, otherwise, I don't really believe it.

Exactly. Shouldn't there be some point between getting money from the government, and paying the government money, where if you're borderline poor, you just don't pay taxes?
Actually, 1. is not true. More than half the population is above average. See this chart
The fact that there is significant dropoff at the higher end, but not the lower end, means it must be balanced by a lot of slightly above average people.
So what? Bad reviews also lower the commercial value of a product. The ultimate goal of the US legislation system should not be to maintain people's profit opportunities at all costs.

Maybe he was using "wrong" as a noun instead of an adjective. Kind of like "my bad". You gotta give people some leeway man.
Are you on crack? MGS(2) is not an FPS.

You can find it on kazaa/fasttrack network. The filename is 'doom_3.avi' and there may be other variations out there. It's very cool.
Sorry, but 640x480 in 16 bit color won't ever look as good as it can on a PC. The PC version is not "going to look the same as on the Xbox".
why not just type mpaa/riaa? It has just as many characters and is less confusing. Typing *AA, or ??AA saves us some typing, that's it's appeal.
From the video (I think I saw it on forbes.com) it seemed like they were using those lenses. How do they do it then, if not with the lenses?

Yes, I suppose you're right.
It's not a "rumor". This is the last ST:TNG movie. As the trailer puts it: "In the last voyage of a generation...". Interpret that how you want. :)
Umm, it's Jar*2, not Jar^2.
zero posts and it's already slashdotted!

Actually, there are between 7 million and 8 million people living in New York City today.

He knew the color of her underwear, so his "Xray vision" probably doesn't involve any actual Xrays.

There's no way anyone could sue ID software just because they changed their business model and lowered prices.

No, but the low resale value is just evidence of the scam that De Beers has going.
