Sure this IS slashdot, but it sometimes amaze me how far some people go just have to say something (bad) about M$. I mean there not a single mention of it in the article but still the guy had to bash M$.
"Look ma.. I bashed M$ on Slashdot!"
How original.. pathetic..
Lamers, no, LOOSERS... give me a break GIVE US a break, (A lot of people think like me). I for sure am tired of it.
When I was a kid there was no internet. Eh, nothing against you but your comment just made me realized how old I am haha ahhhh well, time to code again...
Sure you can but your games will only be playable by those who bought the Linux kit too. In fact, Sony arranged things so you can't burn a cd and distribute your games to your friends, relative, etc. Its a nice toy for hobbyst(sp?) who want to play with the PS2 hardware (hell I might get one myself) it might teach you a thing or two, but it is not the equivalent nor an alternative to the real developpement kit. Read the faq because too much people think like you and bitch and whine to Sony because of that.
" Chinese and Indians have higher than world average IQ when properly nourished"
LOL , what's up with that? So Americans, Canadians, British, Frenchs, Africans, Mexicans and all of the other world populations are equal or dumber? Can you please explain me why a particular population concentrated in a particular place on the planet have sooooo many higher IQ's ? Proove it to me please and I'll shut my big mouth. First thing first, intelligence is not easily measurable (thats why I don't really believe these IQ test) You ever heard of some autistic geniuses? They can't tie their shoes but can caltulate x to the Nth power in a second.. So are they intelligent??
I also believe that there is an equal rate of slightly higher IQ's (if you want to call it that)equally spread all over the planet , that is regardless of race. Intelligence is about cultural background. The cro-magnon man was as intelligent as us, their society were just not as structured. So I think you should think again saying such dumb thing like that.
Exactly! When I was in college it was c/c++ and java, cobol, assembly (the first one I learned) and Visual Basic fun + eeeaaassy. Anyways, I think the more you can work with the better it is. But I must say that the one I'm more comfortable with is c++. I also use Borland for the windows apps I must sometimes work on..Net? No thanks!!
"I have a Comp Sci degree and 4 years industry experience. I was never told I might ever have difficulty getting a job. But here I am, a month and a half unemployed and not yet one interview. I never expected this and it's hurting me lots. "
I have my degree + 2 yrs of experience, I must have send 60 resumes either by snail mail, e-mail and fax, sometimes both... made tons of phonecalls, but still.. I got 2 interviews, one said they needed someone with 5+ yrs experience (why they called me in the first place then?) The second never called me back and I just found out they hired another anyways. Wtf am I suppose to do now? Get back to school? I tell you , these are very bad times for anyone involved in the CS field right now. Me and 3 of my CS buddies got laid of last december and we were all working at different companies. Maybe I should move somewhere else.. Quebec city IS NOT the place to go for employement.

The little sensors "voting", this is for normal people. For CS people this is called Fuzzy Logic. I'd bet my arm that it use a fuzzy logic controller chip to compare and analyze the gyros position/data so it can feed the little electric motors with the appropriate action to take in *real time*. This is the key to IT , if its not being able to process all of the gyros info in RT then it worth nothing, luckily thats what fuzzy logic can do the best.
These kind of systems have been in use for more than a decade in Japan for controlling the speed of the subway as well as their elevators. Its so effective that they do not have handles or pole on wich to hang on when they take the subway, also, it is being said when you take the elevator you don't even have the slight indication that you are moving.. the fuzzy controllers adjust the speed so well that it eliminate the acceleration/deceleration effect thus eliminating the need of handle and the feeling of moving.
The implementation isn't that hard either. I'd bet my arm that it use fuzzy logic controller chip to compare and analyze the gyros position/data so it can work the little electric motors appropriately and in real time.

See, money is the 21st century god.. and the WTC in New-York can very well represent that. I've heard and read most of Nostradamus stories as far back as when I was in grade school and I sincerely never thought it could be so close to reality as it seem to be now.
My sympathy to all Americans and especially all the victims of this tragedy.
More ram and/or a better graphic card might work for a while on *some* systems , but I don't think having more than 256 meg of ram in a >1ghz gaming (windows?) box might help you as much as say 64 -> 128 in a 400 mhz box. I have a k6-2 450 mhz and a 3dfx voodoo3 and I can tell in advance that if I put a geforce 3 in there, It won't improve the games performance by much. In my case the processor is the bottleneck. That's why i'll keep my v3 when I'll upgrade my mobo-cpu combo. So I can see how fast it was meant to be.
My advice : wait until it is the videocard that creates the bottleneck effect (prevents you from reaching top-speed on your gaming machine).

It may be frustration that make me say that but *damn* its good to read that after being unemployed for a while...

WOW I'm impressed
Thank god Sony just made my decision easier.

This is actually where I learned that a good design is the key to make good softwares.
"It's just too hard to catch your own mistakes"
Its just what the said...
Anyways,I agree with both of you!
