Yeah, I guess all those XP + Blue screen articles at support.microsoft.com are made up. I've never seen one either... except three or four times.
Try this: upgrade your motherboard to one with a better/different chipset. When you do, you're likely to get the dreaded 0x0000007b error. Microsoft's solution? RE-INSTALL! http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb; en-us;Q316401
This didn't have to happen to me but twice before I decided reinstalls/reactivation sucks and Linux was a better place to be.
By that loose mass-media definition, Windows XP is an emulator too, since it is "a device that is built to work like another". That is, I can run Windows 98 software on it, yet some of the DLLs used are completely different except for the function names.
API compatibility via wrapper does not equal emulator. *True* software emulators do not execute binary code without interpretive translation or recompilation.
It's only in beta. By the time MS is finished with it, it will be so good that Lavasoft and Kolla will be forced to bundle their programs with some Claria software just to make money.
I have not RTFA yet, but if programming this thing to make use of the multiple cells is anything like it's been on every other multi-processor system known to man... Sony's going to find developers producing less than the best software for the PS3.
Remember Sega Saturn? The PS1 ate it alive, though on paper the Saturn had more raw processing power. The problem was that developers couldn't find a good way to divide the load between processors. You had one doing practically nothing while the main game ran on the other.
This whole "cell" thing is going to make porting software from the PC a *bitch*, unless the developer is lazy and just uses one cell. Let the crappy ports begin!
He didn't mention it in the article, but Dreamweaver MX runs fine on Linux under Wine.

Does Linux Have Game?
·
· Score: 1
If you intend on using the ROM for a console game (such example consoles are the NES, SNES, Genesis, Playstation, Gamboy, and so on), you use a program loader which loads and executes a ROM, and a set of libraries that implements the console API calls using their UNIX or X11 or Windows or Linux or DOS or Nokia equivalents.
Incorrect. In the case of consoles you use a program loader which loads and INTERPRETS a ROM (EMULATING the console's CPU)... rather than actually running the code natively on your own processor.
If you run Win98 software on WinXP, you're not emulating Win98, you're simply running it with newer/different DLLs. Similarly, if you run Windows software on Linux via WINE, you're also simply running it with newer/different DLLS.

What did Beagle emit? One of those "AAaaiiiieeeeee..." screams from Johnny Quest?
> 1. Emulation doesn't get you the original controllers.
A simple google search shows there are many interfaces that do this for emulators: http://www.dreamcliff.com/personal/daniel/jump/ind ex.html for one.
Now, why the hell would you wan't to play using "authentic" controllers on a system that is not? This goes both for emulators and the frankensystem of the article.
As someone who collects classic consoles, I think this was a horrible, horrible, idea to start with. Forget the execution completely.
If you want a consolidated system, every one of those systems (and more) with the exception of the GC could have been emulated on a single, much smaller PC. And, it won't be forever before there's a working PC GC emulator too.
As is, it's just a big bulky frankensystem.
Sure, it's fine for everyone to be ruining all these old systems now... There's tons of them, right? Appearance of the console has nothing to do with nostalgia, right?
That was my point. If it was Photoshop'ed, they would have just taken a picture of someone's hand holding an iPod-mini or similar looking object and changed the display.
The grandfather post insinuated that the entire unit was sitting abnormally in a separate hand image. He would have known there was nothing abnormal about the thumb overlap, had he just pressed his thumb lightly on the very edge of a table.
Or maybe Steve Jobs is paying me to diffuse the arguments of those who get too close to the truth, lest they discover we found a way to put the entire unit in the earbuds.
It's just you. Thumbs are soft, they wrap around leading edges of things you're holding, if they are positioned on the edge. You're also assuming the cables are perfectly round, but these things get pinched and twisted all the time.
I think it's hilarious that you think they put the iPod in the picture, but didn't just add the whole hand. You think they just have some recent stock pics of Steve Jobs holding his hand like that?
I do this exact same thing (register on somewebsite.com as somewebsite@mydomain.com). It's great for tracking if someone gives out your e-mail, so that you can refuse to give them any more business at the very least. The mail all comes into my postmaster account.
If someone ever did give out one of those addresses. I would simply put a single rule in my filter and never see the spam again.
I've been doing this for about three years and have never had a problem with mass spam hitting the postmaster. Not once. I highly recommend it.
Arrrghhh HTML formatting (sorry). Here's a humanly readable version:
This couldn't have worked out better if the Linux community had planned it.
1) Numerous recent IE exploits convinced thousands of people to try different browsers. These people (and likely a lot of their friends) have now realized that IE != The Internet.
2) Now, MS cuts off security updates to some of those users and other users who either got XP from a friend or bought a "bargain" PC from a fly-by-night outfit that used corporate keys.
3) The type of people mentioned in #2 don't like paying a lot for stuff. What are they going to do now as an upgrade path?: Try Linux for free, and/or pay several hundred dollars for an XP license?
Now, ever Linux user out there, here's your mission: Burn a dozen copies of Knoppix and hand them out to everyone that has issues with SP2. I see converts in them thar hills.

For a second, I thought he was saying they should put the nuclear material on display in the Smithsonian.

I distinctly remember that it was the first movie I ever turned off halfway through. I still don't know how it ended, and I still don't care.

I recognize the non sequitur text from this page: http://www.ilovebees.com/honey.html as being an excerpt from Gulliver's Travels.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is more of the same (been a long time since I read GT), since it's describing how to navigate by sun and shadow.
