But then again, if they figured that console games sell and profit just as much than putting on PC having its life prolonged against mods, would you still make for PC?
With all the software/hardware compatibility issues that they receive against support and the test they have to go through dozens and dozens of different configured machines...
People buy game if it works on their hardware, wouldn't pick it, if costs you $500 upgrade on your pc...
And yes I'm a big fan of PC gamer, only play console games for some 'one play only' RPG.
It's more like their burden against the not so fun part of development gets so much cut down if it only goes to console.
I'm also in Japan taking FTTH service. But for 60 US dollars a month with no phone or TV services but with a static IP.
Yes, you don't get as much bandwidth toward outside Japan, mainly because foreign server chokes on their bandwidth but from Japan to Japan, the highest achieved in my home is nearly 70mbps download with 40mbps upload, but with these amount of bandwidth there are many factors that can limit, like software and hardware, not by how the bandwidth is choked by other users.
I tried to have some bandwidth testings against 2 FTTH endpoints, the best ones are VTUN(through HTTP download) and NFS which achieves 30mbps, and OpenVPN, samba, MS file sharing all starts to choke up on direct connections to about 50% to 20% bandwidth capability... but that could just be my way Linux softwares are configured but I have no idea, since many users don't have such bandwidth and those component never will get heavily tested, and I can't find much information on web how to optimize for big bandwidth.
Stop reporting this every 0.5 increase in damn fox share.
How many times are we going to report till end of year? Not that I believe fox is going to take over world anytime soon.
Btw, by the look of usability, there are bunch of good IE wrappers works more convenient than fox, yes I know about fox extention, but even with them, I'm sure Sleipnir can't be beaten by far.
Only in the wrong mind, should you tell developers to develop web for 'a' browser... geez.
What does standardization mean? I don't care what you do, but not going by the standards is the worst thing for the whole industry and no, I don't write web codes to make it work just for you. If it doesn't work for you in a standardized code, let it be.
Why $3000? They trying to get some pocket money from it?
You can build a new box with about $500 or some more if you take reliable hardwares, but won't be as bad as $1000.
It seems like USA is having problem getting a decent network under good price. If it was for Japan in here, you can get 100Mbps up/down at $60 per month.
And this is by owning the hardware. I hope they can get it cheaper.
It's getting a similar stage as Mr. Kaneko (developer of P2P application Winny, mainly used in Japan), though in his case, he got caught by police for making a p2p app program and since it's used to spread copyrighted material, now he's the guilty one, and he said he wrote the program to try to destroy the current copyright mechanism by flooding out the problem everywhere, spread and share the files.
He's still under trials, but Bram's case look much lighter, he can even say, my friend wrote that page, I didn't know... If that's what they're after...
In terms of price, I'd say we're about same in Japan.
Don't know what your price includes, but I assume that price includes the line fee as well as the ISP fee.
If you mean the quality comparison, in here my ISP with 100mbps up/down, had no downtime at all for nearly a year (running linux servers and such, so I know if it goes down for some amount of time) since I have subscribed to, so it's pretty perfect service for reasonable price.
It is also technically important to have a cross platforum easy environment, but then again since Java is not a complete opensource free environment, personally I don't care if everything is GPL or not, but distro like Debian refuses to put the Sun's Java by default, so either way, it's not going to be instant cross platform on many machines.
Just commenting on your comment, but buying better comp to solve programs problem only makes things harder later on, maybe starts costing more in the medium run.
I think u going a bit off the story. By figuring out how many people play the console and how many people play PC games, Linux gaming is just a tiny bit, and so tiny, and Frozen Bubble, most people on earth don't even know about it.
Even someone makes a great game for Linux, I wonder how many PC owners even know how to run a linux, nor even care about such a new game.
While the PC game, I'm sure it won't die, since there are many(though small compared to console players) fans and developers seem to enjoy interacting with the fans on the web, which is not the case for most console game developers.
It is apparent that making the game work on so many different hardware configuration with picky customers than console gamers is hard, thus is harder to make money than console games.
But PC game is about graphic, about modding, about multiplayer and human interaction over internet games. Yes some console games got one or two of these elements too.
I'm sure as long as these addictive features are present, it just won't die off...
I wonder how just console game KILL off PC game. Hate such unthought joking title. Submitter think Valve or Epic games just gets wiped off from earth within 5 years?
While it sounds there's no need to use ports, the machine doesn't have to have any ports open. The firewall, just examines on what port the packets are heading to, and makes validation against its knocking sequence, and drops or returns or whatever.
Is it just because the web site is not written in English, but the software can be changed into English mode, but there seems to be no recognition whatsoever to the great IE wrapper software called Sleipnir anywhere but in Japan, which is written by a Japanese.
> If anything, they guarantee that children down the road who watch these films in 1-6 order will not enjoy 4-6 half as much as we did.
Actually, those kids who don't know the movie is made in 456-123 order and watch through 1-6 order will think, oh this movie is getting just better and better, weldone Lucas, you never let us down! You learn the past mistake real good and make greater every release.
Slashdot Mirror
Problem thinking like only proper thinking people exists on earth as you want to describe...
I bet too many passwords on machines accessible in public have weak passwords.
It's not like everybody is just as security alerted as you are and you can't just throw the topic because you can think of a method to protect.
ID has put a chain of event on us how much the ogirignal DOOM can go look good on the later technologies.
Yes, it was one of the best game invented, only lacks a little graphic-wise atm.
I hope to see some coders come up remake it another open sourced DOOM port =)
But then again, if they figured that console games sell and profit just as much than putting on PC having its life prolonged against mods, would you still make for PC?

And is it the first thing you need to talk about previewing a OS?
Sheesh.

Let's get it straight, the power of consoles are getting better and better, but the contents? Not as growing...
We want fun games.
You can also be a good bittorrent seeder, the likes of Linux distribution gets helped good in this way too.
Besides, it makes it easy for you to try out many unix of several hundered of mb downloads each.
And making VPN on 2 end points, you have a speedy file interaction on those computers, is only bearable with many big files with such bandwidth.
In terms of price, I'd say we're about same in Japan.

This is why I hate seeing things from only facts perspective.
Of course, the numbers, you can compare to other casualties...If that's what you mean by imagining...
Have you been in a city where that amount of people dead? Have you even seen a man killed in front of you? Perhaps not.
Now that's what I'm talking about. You are not even imagining about the death in real. Only by numbers, like if it's some kind of games in history.
On, if the lives are actually saved or not, no one knows.
hell of a lot better
If you are sure they didn't abuse people and saw in the actual place, maybe you're statement is right.
It just sounds like you say, 'just kill than torture, it's better for them'.
You or no one obviously seen the situation when the bomb didn't fell. Now stop writing in BOLD that it SAVED lives, geez.
For one apparent fact, it KILLED amount of life you can't possibly imagine.
and the doc.

He probably just meant consumer used browsers, not lab used browsers, like ie3 or netscape.
I think linking from here sorta made everyone force to wait for 2 weeks...

We know what actually happened though.
Just ask for yourself...
Why are there so many people out there play Nethack? or say any other games from 10 years ago.
That should get you started.
