MAME On Xbox

· Score: 0
XBoxes boot off the DVD, so if this guy wants to distribute MAME he has to have a copy of the XBox OS (Win2k hacked up) on every DVD. By distributing this, he would be violating god knows how many copyrights.
Not easily modifiable. The drivers for the hardware are hardcoded into the OS. I've been to a couple tech talks about XBox. The kernel has been hacked up real nice for low overhead. Why have a HAL for an OS where all the hardware will essentially be the same?
Yes, maybe if you type 3000 words a minute, that 0.2 second extra load time on your Word file of your favorite porn sites may effect your productivity.
What are you talking about? Have you ever heard of Microsoft University Relations group? They provide universities with MSDN AA for free. MSDN AA is basically like MSDN Enterprise, the licensing includes students. So all faculty and students get any software they want... for free. Your univeristy got screwed. I know its not how it works where I am. (Michigan State University)
It's a service. It's like a credit card company. If you want your store to support Visa, you have to have Visa's approval and pay an annual fee.
Passport authentication is a service. Microsoft maintains the database of users and their info. You have to pay to access that information.
I wonder why I even responded, you're a fucking retard.
It's not a rival, and it was never meant to be. It's an implementation of the.NET platform for Linux. The runtime and the framework classes of.NET were designed to be platform, CPU, and language independent. Basically that means, if you compile a managed application, you can copy it to a linux system with an x86 processor and it will work. You can then take this same executable and run it on a ia64 windows machine. Both run in native assembly.

Yes, but the hardware available during Windows 1.0 and 2.0 has radically improved compared to the hardware available for the last 5 years. If you are gonna be a zealot, atleast try to use valid comparisons.
Anything that can be done on the on the command line can be replicated with a GUI. But from the command line, you can't even get close to matching the productivity boost you get with a GUI. Setting breakpoints, opening files, watching certain variables becomes a matter of a half second mouse point and clicks.
Dmitri Skylarov was seen today at 5th and Main entering a porta-potty. There is wild speculation taking place as to his expected visit. Coverage on Skylarov will resume after this bulletin on the Condit case.
"However, the court affirmed Judge Jackson's conclusions that Microsoft does have a monopoly in the market for computer operating systems and maintained that monopoly power by anticompetitive means which violated U.S. antitrust laws."
Oh, I guess Linux and OSX aren't considered competiting operating systems?

Ha ha, funny funny, ho ho ho. But wait, a quick search in Google confirmed what I suspected, you just "open sourced" this post from here:

Size doesn't matter, it's what you do with it.
Yeah, uh, XBox uses DirectX.

Man, I feel sorry for your compu... oh wait, it was a Mac, nevermind.

Heh, don't mod me down yet. Click the first link first.
Why do people who say they are going to be flamed for saying something get modded up as insightful?
I know I'm going to get flamed for this...
Why is it when posters say they are going to be flamed that they get modded up as insightful?
I bet Taco plays this on his Windows box.

Great philosophy. The race was only worth winning if you broke all the runners' legs.

That only satisfies "Quiet" and "PC".
Too bad he actually said "Stupid is as stupid does."

Stop it? You can use the rival products you mentioned. Oh wait, they sucked.
And once you get Linux on it what could you do?
