Well one of the quotes was from EA, and he mentions how excited he is to take advantage of this. As far as I know EA only makes sports games.
But you're right that the Revolution will most likely have to be specifically developed for. I understand, though, that porting between the PS3 and Xbox360 is supposed to be actually quite an endeavor, though, so it's not as distinctly a 2 vs 1 console decision. If that is in fact the case and porting to another system isn't an issue, then the decision by the developer may come down to which single console should I develop for? And if the Revolution has a sizeable marketshare then it may well still get developed for.
"Nintendo has long been a trailblazer, and this controller design reinforces that reputation," said Brian Farrell, president and CEO of THQ. "We enthusiastically support Nintendo's next console because we believe their approach of continual innovation is very much in line with our own strategy of creating unique and innovative games for the next generation of hardware."
"What we're seeing from this controller is the same thing we saw with Nintendo DS," said Chuck Huebner, Head of Worldwide Studios, Activision.. "It's a system that's designed with an eye on enticing new players to the video game industry, and that's something we firmly support."
"Game control is essential - it's the area where perhaps the most game-play improvement can be made," said John Schappert, Sr. Vice President and General Manager of Electronic Arts Canada. "While our portfolio represents a full array of titles across all genres, I think our sports titles might be the first to immediately take advantage of what this novel 'freehand' type of control has to offer."
"We were among the first publishers to see the control design in action," said Serge Hascoet, Chief Creative Officer of Ubisoft. "We're excited about the new controller and are looking forward to taking advantage of its innovative aspects."
Now at this point it's just talk (I haven't heard of any Revolution Controller-specific games being announced by these folks), but if Nintendo does manage to get some key 3rd party developers on board, well, games will change dramatically! Some of the new ways of playing can be fantastically fun -- think, running down the field in a new EA game, juking left and right, flipping the remote up to do a quick jump. At least some big developers are keeping their options open.
Now, before you get all up-in-arms about it, think of the possibilities! This article really makes you think of some of the extraordinary ways this device can be used! I know I'm looking forward to its release. Ah, finally some good RTSs on a console, or a shooter more akin to mouse+keyboard.
Also, the people who've had a chance to use it have generally come away pretty excited.
I know what you mean, but hey, at least it looks pretty cool.;-)
One console that I am excited about, though, is the Nintendo Revolution due out probably some time next year. The president of Nintendo is going to do the keynote at this year's Tokyo Games thing, and will most likely reveal a giant mystery about it: what the controller is going to be like! Speculation is wide, and a lot of people are thinking it might use gyroscopic technologies to sense the moving of the controller. Also, the Revolution will be able to play every Nintendo game ever made all the way back to the NES!
Tune in at 7PM tonight to see what his announcement is.

Just to be clear... we do not know yet what the controller for the Nintendo Revolution will be. In fact, I think I recall reading something about it not being like the Nintendo DS.

Not even that, but I'm confused by how it says on the one hand "C:\Users\Pat\Documents" (which is nice, I'll admit, and much more straightforward than the Documents and Settings thing they've got now), while on the other hand the files being shown in the window above are listed as in Desktop\Pat\Documents. Umm...?
Well, it *kind of* works. I did just as you said and it opened the Terminal just fine and ran vim. However, I then e-mailed it to myself. When I clicked on it it said "Warning: "vim" is an application, are you sure you want to run it?" So I clicked yes, and it coudln't find out how to run it or something, so it gave me an option to download it. After downloading it to my desktop, and *then* double clicking on it, the terminal opened and ran it.
All in all, I'm relatively sure that's secure enough for most purposes.
Well to be fair this duplicate did allow additional discussion. Look at all the "Patent the Virus!" posts in this thread that were made possible because of that story a couple days ago...
The significant part of the story is not in fact the alleged speeding up of light, but the slowing down of it. The story says it gest slowed down by up to a factor of 3.6, which will make processing it easier, and will speed up telecommunications (somehow).
I could write a lot more, but I think the movies are deeply different
I think that this is the key. Sure, in AotC there was lots of Anakin whining and stuff, where in the old trilogy it was mostly action. Sure there was the scene in the Ewok village with Luke and Leia (sp?) but that was about it. The main thing, though, is that the movies are just different types of movies. AotC and Phantom Menace aren't a bad movies, they just hasn't stayed true to their roots. It's too much computer generated stuff and "chick-flick-y" dialog.
Perhaps there are some weird laws of supply and demand at work, and the "up-to-par" just something else? I know that there was a lot more interest here in my town because the tickets were sold out a week in advance for opening day. This could definitely create lots of hype, although it still seems like it would be better to play it in as many theatres as possible.
Recently, they actually stopped light. I'm not sure where I heard it, but it had something to do with quantum computers. Here's a link. I'm not sure if this is the same principle as what CmdrTaco (really? The CmdrTaco??) was talking about, but it's cool.
I had a hard time telling. Clip 2:A was the only one I could tell was fake, but by her eyebrows and blinking, and not her mouth. If I didn't know any of the clips were fake going into it, though, I never would have guessed.
I've been hearing about hydrogen fuel cells for so long now, I'm glad to finally see some progress. What I've heard, though, about it is that "battery-ifying" the hydrogen (turning it into fuel cells) makes up for the pollution your saving by using the fuel cells. Is this still the case, does anyone know? Or is it actually environmentally friendly now from creation to use?
P.S. What's been up with Slashdot lately? It's been really weird.
I would rather have sugar over nutrasweet or any of those other fake sugars. Although his sig is at correct in that marijuana isn't as bad for you as beer.
That's not really the point, I don't think. He's just thought of a spiffy new idea and is trying to implement it - not create a whole new type of instrument. I actually got to play a laser harp once at a "believe it or not" store or something like that, and it was cool.
And then it goes on to say that "The small size of strangelets means the blast is only big enough to have a very localised effect and humans are unlikely to be harmed." How can several thousand tons of TNT not harm someone if he or she is hit?

I mean, if someone's name is 'Krashed', surely he's some sort of criminal... That... or he uses KDE.

lol! That's quite simply one of the funniest things I've read in awhile! Thanks. :-D

That's el presidente Bush right?
Yeah, when I went to six flags there in Valencia with a bunch of my friends, something along those lines happened to each of us, too.

He was obviously being sarcastic, and if I had moderation points right now I'd give them to him (or her..?) +1 funny.
It's funny how all the replies list different speeds of light in mph..
