    Gross rank is:

    1. China (incl. Taiwan?) (500,000)

    according to this US dealer.

  3. Re:Why is this good for Sony? on Sony, IBM Announce Cell Workstation For PS3 Dev · · Score: 3, Informative

    Cell is a generic grid-computing processor. It means, the same hardware block can be used in this workstation, PS3, rack-mount server, home appliance, and other devices from Sony and IBM. The difference between those various hardwares is only the quantity of Cells equiped in them, so this workstation is not specialized hardware bound to a specific market. When PS3 ships, the scale merit of Cell production will soar dramatically, which is what SGI couldn't do.

  6. The Winny author on Winny P2P Software Creator Arrested · · Score: 4, Interesting

    is KANEKO Isamu, 33, was relatively well-known in Japan as a talented 3D-programming programmer, too (though it's not known until today that he is the "47"). His personal homepage has many 3D-programming stuff, including flight simulator, realtime 3-D body model generator, PBO-FS(Prototype-Based Object File System), missile simulator, and realtime motion-generation by physics calculation. His academic concern was fast 3D physics calculation, network design, and OS design.

  8. Re:Great idea on Sony Connect To Hook Up With PlayStation Portable? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Small games and other data you created on PSP can be exported only to a Sony memory stick with MagicGate supported, I guess. Data you don't create such as large movies and games will be only for physical unrewritable UMD media to store contents which big boys will supply.
    As for connectivity to PC, a software with DRM, which is something like Windows Media 9 Series, may be supplied from Sony to manage MagicGate-protected data which originally belong to PSP.

  9. Re:Hopefully the government can take a cue from In on Essay: Perspectives of African FOSS developers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What makes India today as a large IT outsourcing destination is their secondary official language which is English, and their inherent strength in math. For salary-wise Africa is superior, but considering other difficulties you can't expect growth of Africa in the IT sector so soon.

  10. Read carefully on Microsoft Security Updates for Pirated Windows? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    the EULA attached to the security patches, even when you are legitimate owner of a copy of Windows!

  11. PSP price on On The State Of Handheld Videogaming · · Score: 1

    doesn't matter, when it has somewhat more advanced feature set than current PS2, though its screen size is surely smaller (but still larger than that of GBA). Do you complain against the fact that laptop PC is much more expensive than desktop PC?

  13. Cool DDR play with 3 legs on On The Evolution Of Dance Dance Revolution · · Score: 2, Interesting
  14. Revolutionary? NO. on New & Revolutionary Debugging Techniques? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It looks no more than a fancy variation of good old 'assert' macro, or an antecedent of unit testing. Why did this anonymous submitter find it 'revolutionary'? What does it have over current debuggers which can be attached to working process or can analyze post-mortem dump?

  15. Handheld DreamCast on Sega Unveils OutRun 2 Xbox, Shining Force, 'Explosive Announcement' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How about DC portable? Dozens of DreamCast games are WindowsCE-based, then it's not unnatural for Sega to go handheld with WindowsCE.

  16. Creative null character? on Kernel Modules that Lie About Their Licenses · · Score: 3, Insightful

    All those C string functions are todays source of plague. Even though I'm not Miguel de Icaza it's obvious that we should move to something new.

  19. Re:Japanese? Weird?? on CESA Boss Talks Japanese Gaming Problems · · Score: 1

    How can you assume they are underage, when they are not in photo images of real human, but merely some drawings born from imagination? Do you insist on 'human rights' of those imaginary drawings? It seems your view of the world is perverted enough to confuse real world with virtual world, or free speech.

    Surely there are cartoons that are intentionally made to look like underage, but if you read Japanese language you'll find that none of them explicitly state that they are underage by themselves. Even with school uniform, when the author insists they are not students, they are not. Even in the real world, do you know there are places in Tokyo where girls of 18 and over wear school uniform and pour alcohol to glasses? LOL

  22. Keep the interest up? on Developers Ever More Encouraging Of Modding · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd thought expansion pack is made to exploit ever lasting popularity of a game to its max, making more money from it. If modders make expansion packs, original developer can't rely on extra revenue, except for licensing engines.

  23. Re:Max Payne on When Videogames Know They're Videogames · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Isn't it Max Payne 2?
    BTW it's not metagame, because Max only mentions about general videogaming world. "Some nerd" may not be you.

    If you are familiar with scifi novels by P. K. Dick, such kind of obsession is very common, and in the movie Matrix, its world is made by the Architect and he appears in Reloaded.
