Nearly three years have gone by since the release of the last major game console. Yet the rumor mills are working overtime as each company--Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony--divulges some details of its efforts in developing next-generation game platforms.
Sony inked a deal with Nvidia late last year to develop a new graphics processor based on the GeForce architecture for its next-generation computer entertainment system. The system also will be based on a new central computing engine called the Cell processor, under joint development by Sony, Toshiba, and IBM Corp. First details of the Cell processor were unveiled earlier this month at the IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference in San Francisco.
TURNING THE TABLES
In a flip-flop of sorts, Microsoft recruited ATI Technologies to come up with the graphics processor for its next-generation X-Box. (ATI supplied the graphics for the PS2, while Nvidia provided the graphics for the original X-Box.) Also, it looks like IBM will supply the processors for the next-generation X-Box. But the big question is whether Microsoft will leverage IBM's technology for the Cell processor, or the CPU or CPUs will take more standard approaches.
I hate it when people use that. If there were no players there would be no game.
It is just an excuse to make oneself feel better about the immoral things they do. They cant stand up against the status quo, too chicken shit. So, they babbel on about how it's not their fault that the things they do are bad, it's how "the game" is played.
You can trace it ALL the way back to Quake 2 huh? How about Blake Stone, the BBS download was 10 megs and I was concerned about it chewing the hell out of my hard drive space.
Was Halo inovative? Perhaps, perhaps not, the point is moot because it was sure as hell was FUN.
My wife does not like games much. She couldn't stop playing Halo. The amount of fun I had playing Halo was right on par with the amount of fun I had playing the original Doom(perhaps even more so.) So before you go off "tracing your roots" and referring to Halo fans as newbs, perhaps you should listen to your elders and accept that Halo was something special, wether you liked it or not.
The problem is, most users are going to want to go through the hassel of converting everything. I am going to agree with a previous post, unless.doc,.xls, etc become standarized... this just wont take off.

A series of funny quotes come to mind:
'You want I should break your links?'
'Mario, I need you to 404 this site.'
'I will ping flood you so fast, you wont know what hit you.'
'I host your site. You've never google me. You dont visit my page. And now you want me to bring down this site. What am I supposed to think?'
'Johhny, I swear, I'll get you your page hits. I just need some more time.'

Yes, but maybe he knew that everyone else would know that a virus writer wouldn't be foolish enough to put their real name on it. So, by putting his real name on it, it would make the world believe that his name is anything BUT Andy. So, he obviously can put his real name in it.
World: "Are you done?"
Not even close. The world probably knew that the virus writer was smart enough to figure that out. So, he obviously can't put real his name in it.......
...is because they KNOW they have bad publicity. I dont think they expect to make a whole lot out of this market. But, it will help to make them look like the good guys.
I, by no means, consider myself "weak-minded". As for "a false sense of security and purpose", if you think showing compassion and kindness to your fellow human being displays a false sense of purpose; what would be a true sense of purpose?
Even if my belief is God is wrong, I still will have had a positive impact on this world. If THAT is a false sense of purpose, I wish more people would have it.
It is hard to say wether or not we should have sympathy for this guy. Was the information he posted sensitive? If it was he should be fired. But if he was fired for telling everyone that MS bought some Macs, that would be a different story. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that MS needs a Mac in order to develop on a Mac. So until we have more info, we cannot take sides here.
I enjoy bashing Microsoft as mych as the next guy, but we must still be fair.

He really has a grip on this subject.
Well it is 9:39 EST and it looks like they finally changed it back. After over an hour.
It was kind of childish and will have zero effect on anything. Yet... it still made me laugh a little.

Do they pay you extra for your bathroom breaks?
Sure you can give it up, but would you really want to???
You are right, my apologies.
Ok, ummm.....a whale has fins AND swims through the water....whales are mammals.
You musn't be so narrow minded. Science is a lot more complicated than that.

Come on man, there was no call for that comment. You dont believe, fine...its your decision. But, taking pot shots...not cool.
I wont shove my Christianity down your throat, if you dont shove your atheism down mine.
You could always join the Russian space program.
After all these puns, I think I need to go light one up.
