In the game Crackdown for 360 you can ride on top of cars around town. Certain highways spawn more of certain vehicles, which will have different AIs controlling them as they drive around the three islands. The interlocking highway and freeway systems make for a really random and enjoyable tour around the surprisingly detailed city.
Why don't we just rename ReiserFS. It seems the problem everyone has with it is that Hans killed his wife, the technology is still fine. What about KillerFS?
Seriously, I'm suprised nobody has mentioned CodeForge yet. Seriously fast code completion lookup and tightly integrated support for source control won me over. Dl the free trial and check it out.
Why not have rss readers that check on startup, then check again at user specified intervals.. After a random amount of time has past. user starts program at 3.15 and it checks rss feed. user sets check interval to 1 hour. rand()%60 minutes later (let's say 37) it checks feed every hour after that it checks the feed.
simplistic sure, but isn't rss in general?
on an aside, any of you (few) non-programmers interested in creating rss feeds, i put out some software that facilitates it. hunterdavis.com/ssrss.html
Seriously, even my mother will play mario party. As for Monkey ball if i don't want to entertain guests i will just pop in monkey ball and within 10 minutes i have 4 people enthralled. convenient!
I've only been on the diet for 2 weeks now, but i'm 10 lbs down. First weight loss in 4 years. Wal-mart sells low-carb atkins brand food, and fellow geeks have been really supportive. I cannot stress enough how mind-blowingly simple it is to lose weight with atkins. Want to know what i've been doing the past 2 weeks? Sitting on my butt playing halo and eating chicken. Now that's a weight-loss plan i can get behind (which has shrunk just a little bit too)!
I agree in part, the broadband adapter did make it/faster/ to copy games, but the homemade serial cables that connected the dreamcast console to your computer enabled patient crackers the ability to rip games long before the broadband adapter came out
He is a scientist. I earned my BS in comptuer science, and worked my butt of doing it. Does that give me the right to the term engineer? No, it makes me a scientist. scientist:
n : a person with advanced knowledge of one of more sciences [syn: man of science]
I earned the right to refer to myself as a scientist. There is nothing ignoble about the term scientist. Although our discipline often overlaps with engineering disciplines (computer engineering) we are not engineers. A chemist (also a scientist obviously) may spend his life working on advanced computer models, but he does not claim to be an engineer and has no claim to the title. As computer scientist, neither do we.
Just played a little Pools of Radiance mod (my personal favorite mod) and it looks and works great for me. Stock Mandrake 9.1rc2 install, and I only had NWN version.27 not.29
h2g2.com anyone? Although I assume these "mid-air" messages and the research behind them are motivated by ad revenue (mid-air location specific spam, I shudder at the thought) I would like to think that the location specific messages will actually be helpful ala hitchhikers guide. Here's to a new promising technology that will hopefully avoid the pitfalls of spam (ha!)
Hrrrm yes they want to put customers first. I don't think so. I bought a flash linker a number of days before the lawsuit hit. A month later I get a form email telling me I will recieve a refund the first day of november. Well it's november 22, and i still havn't recieved a refund for an item i should have recieved in september. Lucky for me my credit card company issued me a refund (credit card policy, not lik sang) and as far as i know they have not had any luck with lik sang either.
I'm not alone in this situation, just search google groups for a large list of people who made off a whole lot worse that I did, especially the ones who sent them money orders and paypal orders.
If lik sang really wanted to put the customers first they would answer our emails and/or issue refunds that are months overdue. Lik sang is in it for the cash, nuff said.
I always considered that guy a precursor (whether chronologically correct or not) to silent bob. My favorite was when he whipped out a pizza box and some duct tape to make a cardboard dummy.
Wildtangent anyone? Some of the stuff coming out of there is incredible.

As long as it's natural, advertising is fine my me. Take Shemue and Crazy Taxi for Example.Two examples of product placement used in two completely different fashions. In Shenmue I found the products to be unobtrusive and added to the realism of the game. In Crazy Taxi (which i loved btw) I found the fact that most customers cited thier destinations in terms of products (rather than streets or landmarks as would seem to be the natural case) annoying.
They've already reserved space in the University of Loiusville gym for sleeping bags, after a 5 day frag-match I can't imagine the smell of a couple hundred gamers:) On the bright there's a case artist, and while you're having your case customed, get your sore frag muscles (arms?) rubbed by the professional masseur...
ok so i'm going despite the fear of smelly retribution, 5 days of fraggin!
Editing the xbox kernal dll shows it's obviously not a kernal dll. Come on, trillian? Doesn't anyone check this stuff out? bparrish is right, this is bunk bunk bunk fubarred bunk.
SNK, here's to the dream

Farewell to SNK
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
I think SNK was a dream for a lot of people back when it came out late 80s. Unfortunately, 500 bucks for a home system and up to 250 dollars per game was waaay out of many people's budget mine included. However, SNK built the system to last, and last it did. I just bought Mark of the Wolves for DC, one of the greatest, last, and largest of the SNK games. The mvs cartridge will still run on hardware that is 13 years old. I found one of my really old gamepro magazines, and they have a picture of the old home system. (right next to a pic of the 'new' sega genesis) I'll never forget how I felt looking at that machine, and that feeling never went away.
Goodbye SNK, goodbye terry bogard
