- Culture clash. Japanese gamers don1t like the Xbox. It1s big, ugly and all the exclusive games are very American.
M$ did get an exclusive on SEGA's Shen Mue II, and you can't get more oriental than that. So exclusive even, that the Dreamcast version was cancelled in the States (it was released in Europe though). They must have made some 'offer you cannot resist' to SEGA.
>It runs at a low priority, so it's pretty much the same thing.
And even if it doesn't just remember you are working on *nix. In case of doubt about any distributed computing process, just use the renice command. At nice 20, it will have no impact whatsoever on your performance. (well, that's not entirely true: some clients are memory hogs that will increase swapping and thus decrease performance)
I need a new laptop. My Toshiba 2805-202s is over a year old and has put in meritorious service (having survived a shorting power supply, replaced under warranty, and a motherboard-damaging fall, also replaced under warranty free-of-charge)
My iBook is 7 months old and already spend 3 (yes, three) months in repair. Crashed harddisk - the diagnosis is simple but the cure takes forever - and does not fall under warranty (well, it does now but only because of my complaining about repair times).
Apple Machines might be fast & beautiful, but Apple Service is slow & ugly.
g o s s i p spells... gossip.
Jeez, the Mac World is too full of rumours, hearsay and gossip already to add another layer with apple/.
Please please keep the subjects on the geek side of things. No more speculations.
