since some games were released on both the genesis and the snes, but one console had what was widely considered the superior version (example: the nhl hockey series was always better on genesis while other multi platform games benefitted a lot from snes' superior graphics capabilities), are they going to release BOTH or ONE of the versions in this case? i mean even if it was 15 years ago nintendo probably wouldn't want to admit a genesis version was better than the snes one... or would they!

AMD Desktops Outsell Intel

VIA's Intel boards might be cheap and crappy as well, but they do not have the well-documented bug that several of VIA's AMD chipsets have that makes high-bandwidth PCI usage a fucking hassle at best and impossible at worst. Again, I DO NOT USE A SHIT SOUNDCARD. I said I speak from experience, so kindly believe me... Even if this is Slashdot, infamous for people talking out of their asses.
THANK you. I'm glad to have someone else who actually knows exactly what problems I am talking about confirm it. So apparently, some nVidia chipsets now work better than VIA crap. I don't think I deserve -1, Troll for not knowing that -- alright, some newer chipsets might work better, but I'm never buying AMD for serious use again after experiencing what I have, and you need only search Google for a couple of minutes to see that I'm not alone.
Although, what do I expect posting a pro-Intel post on Slashdot... It's not like I wouldn't want to see the cheaper, less evil stuff be better, but from my experience, it just isn't. For advanced PCI stuff like pro audio cards, it's worth spending the extra bucks to get the reference implementation and be ASSURED things will work.
Listen -- I speak from experience, I KNOW what I am talking about. I use M-Audio soundcards, and there is a WELL-DOCUMENTED BUG in several VIA chipsets that makes PROFESSIONAL -- not AC'97 gaming -- use more or less impossible with these chipsets. As other posters have mentioned, there are some patchese, but in my experience those help slightly at best and make the problem worse at worst. KINDLY know what you are talking about the next time you are going to reply.
That was very much beside the point, though. I considered mentioning that, but this is really an AMD/Intel discussion, and if you're going to do audio work on an IBM compatible, you will be using Intel.
Anyone who cares about using their computer for professional audio applications, for one. Sorry, I used to be like you, but experience has led me to realize that if you're going to do any serious A/V work, AMD -- or more specifically, AMD motherboards with cheap, ultra-crappy VIA south/northbridges and the like -- just won't cut it. You will get crackles in the audio, all around shitty performance and will have to apply about 200 patches to get things working at all.
If you're going to do anything more than play Quake ]|[ or browse the WWW and write Word documents, getting the CPU and chipset which is considered the reference implementation (meaning Intel chipsets on Intel motherboards with Intel CPU's) is worth it.
No. Microsoft did provide TCP/IP for Windows 3.11 for Workgroups. It didn't have PPP or dialer software, which Trumpet Winsock provided... But again, Microsoft provided the same starting with MS Internet Explorer 5.0 (which isn't really relevant though.)
This current trend of only bringing minor release numbers up to 1 or 2 before hopping on to the next major only to keep up with other distributions is getting silly. If there was some major change in this, like a switch to Linux 2.6, that would justify a major number bump. This release doesn't really have anything of the sort.
We're now living in a Big Brother world, aren't we? Of course, if it helps catching criminals, then so be it.
You do realize that this type of thinking is exactly what enables leaders to take more and more steps towards an actual Big Brother society? Say you use it to catch criminals, then move on to other, less innocuous uses...
The point is to show that you can make vastly differing games with the same "engine." You don't need to make a Quake clone only because you use the Quake engine. Some people use open engines to make games that are very different from the games the engine was originally developed for, like Unreal Annihilation, Total Annihilation (a Real-Time Strategy game) reimplemented with the Unreal Tournament 2003 engine.
What you do is have a small (100 kbyte-ish) installer app on a trusted site which also holds the files with the MD5 sums. The installer then fetches a list of mirrors and lets the user choose the nearest mirror. It downloads the tarball, checks it against the trusted MD5 sums and if all is OK, it untars it. Bandwidth requirements would be fairly low with this method.
The artwork on the screenshots comes from an original Warcraft II CD. You can play FreeCraft with the original graphics pack if you have it, i.e. if you've purchased an original copy of Warcraft II; if you don't you can play with free graphics which are not nearly as attractive. Actually, most of them are terribly ugly.

it comes with a KEYBOARD?!
holy shit that seals the deal!

Mirror on my University's T3... Hey, not MY problem if their pipe gets bogged down ;)
Maybe Slashbots can use this technology to make their nanococks hard as steel.
Oh, like Doom Legacy...
Not really. They will certainly find some use though.
Untrue. There's , used like so:

That's the second biggest four-headed computer I've ever seen!

MD5 checksums. Use 'em.
I started out running (GNU/)Linux with Slackware 3.2 in 1995-ish
Slackware 3.2 was released in 1997.

2. ???
3. Profit!
