The story I heard was that they actually lost the source code for many of the key components needed to do anything with the Newton. Possibly they lost the source to the OS itself. This had to do with the mass exodus of everyone in the Newton group during the chaotic period of transition between Gil Amelio as CEO and Steve Jobs.
I have an MP 100, MP 110, a couple of MP 120s, MP2000, and an eMate 300. I used to be a professional Newton developer. I have all kinds of Newton stuff.
I sure wish the Newton was still around because it was a really nice system.
I would think it would be very impractical for the ESRB to play every game they rate. For one thing, it could take hundreds of hours. There could be levels that are hard to get to, hidden stuff, etc. The best way really is to have the company disclose the content.
Are you saying that the industry should not self regulate if it is in their best financial interest to do so? By saying this I do not mean it is in their best interest because the alternative is government regulation. I mean that many adults might just throw up their hands and say "no video games" because we don't have time to screw with reading reviews, etc. Therefore, by having a rating system, the industry is actually making a more appealing product to many parents.
If you take the binary of the original arcade pac-man and disassemble it, you will find that 64% of the assembly instructions contain the so called "violent bit".
Any software that has multiple threads can take advantage of multiple cores. Pretty much every project I've done in the last 5 years has used multi-threading. Even before that, I was using the old MacOS 7/8/9 cooperative threading (I don't miss that!!!)
How would monopoly teach children to use a credit card responsibly. I'm not claiming it teaches them to use cash responsibly - just that it teaches them to COUNT.
When I was much younger, I used to experiment with certain substances.
One particular substance always made it seem like things had happened before - like I was experiencing something in real life that I had dreamt about before and it was very weird/scary. I'm guessing that it was causing the portion of my brain responsible for identifying familiar things to trigger (as mentioned in the article).
Look at a game like Myst. The whole point is to reveal more and more of the story. Same thing with most interactive fiction.
And I've always wondered about the background story for games like Pong, Joust, Dig Dug (what I wouldn't give to know the backstory of THAT game!), Kangaroo, Asteroids, Tempest (TEMPEST!!!!).
In that case you don't particularly value Free Software, do you?
As some kind of "principle"? Hell no. However:
I use the Gimp because it is a nice piece of software that does the job.
I have written software that I have released under an OpenSource license because I was tired of writing the same piece of software for multiple clients.
If I can use some cool free thing in my programs, I often do. (I am writing something that uses PortAudio right now.)
a lot of judges don't take too kindly to people who represent themselves, because they think it makes the trial take longer and thus wastes their time.
Not to mention that almost all judges are: 1. Lawyers who believe in full employment for lawyers. 2. Asshats.
One nice thing about Monopoly is that children learn things like how to count money. With the credit card version it will be easier (and less time consuming) to play a game, but will there be the same educational value? Probably not.
First of all, most people don't have it available. You ONLY have public transit as an option if: 1. You don't need to take anything significant with you (i.e. bigger than a briefcase or backpack). 2. You live in a big city. 3. You happen to go where the transit goes and ONLY need to go where it goes. 4. You don't ever have unexpected things happen in your life.
For most people, it is not practical at all. Maybe if you live in NYC or San Francisco perhaps. But that's about it.
And the GPP was trying to make the case that license plate surveilence is going to make people switch to it? No way. The few people who use it will continue to use and you would be hard pressecd to find more than maybe one single person that would switch for that reason.

Let's compare the Newton with some good CE-based handhelds and see what we find.
That would be a impossible since "good CE-based handheld" is an oxymoron.
If you mean "current CE-based handheld", the Newton would still win.
If you were to run a Ferrari against a Model T
No, it's more like comparing a 1932 Reo Royale to a Ford Pinto.

If more software used multiple cores

I've been doing my part to help increase memory usage with the following handy function:
void * allocateMemory(size_t bytesNeeded)
{
time_t myTime;
time(&myTime);
struct tm * myTm = localtime(&myTime);
unsigned int ramWastingFactor = myTm->tm_year > 100 ? (myTim->tm_year - 100) : 1;
return malloc(bytesNeeded * ramWastingFactor);
}
Some MS fanboy modded this "flamebait". LOL.
A friend of mine has certifications as an MCSE and a CNE
With friends like that, who needs users?
I've always heard that it was common for people to cry when Floyd is killed in Planetfall.
I loved Battletoads. Yeah, it could be very hard in spots.
Infocom had the same thing, at least after Activision bought them.
Awesome wrestler? He had all of 4 moves
Ha ha! You watch wrestling!!

By "smarten up", I think you mean, "become insane maniacs who want to purposely make our lives harder for no reason".
How about those of us who switched to it because it was the only GUI available and have never found a good reason to leave these past 22 years?
