So are you advocating Anarchy or a UN government? What about Microsoft going to Mars and claiming it as property of the corporation (or AOLTIMEWARNER or AT&T, pick your favorite bad guy)?
Hm... Personally, I'd rather see CHAIRFACE carved in the moon than MICROSOFT. (That's what you were asking, right?)
I just wish that the original Game Boy Development kit would have some progress made on it. Array support is still broken, and I can't get a response from the author by email.
Oh. Right. I don't worship at the altar of hideously outdated gaming systems which nobody in their right mind would buy at any price
I'd be willing to pay a good $15 for any new, quality, genuinely fun games for my 7800. The cartridge based systems of the golden era had a few things going for them that top-of-the-line consoles don't. One nice thing was that the games rarely forced players to sit through long scenes before they were allowed to play. If you wanted to learn the story, you pulled out the manual. The "oooh, aaah" factor wasn't a huge selling point in Frogger or the Pitfall series, it was the fun gameplay. I'm so sick of eye candy, $300 consoles and $35 controllers. I'm tired of games that treat me like I'm five years old (Thanks Nintendo)! I hate how today's gaming population can't appreciate a good game if it doesn't boggle the mind with the number of polygons it uses.
Granted, some of today's games are really fun (Crazy Taxi comes to mind). But I still routinely pull out my old systems when I'm bored. You know, the ones that used a storage medium that didn't need to be handled like glass. Insert: Ch-chunk! Play!
I hope I'm in my right mind, but sometimes my PS2-playing friends wonder.;)
Glass protected stations that protect people from walking on the track are not new. In London I remember going to an underground stop which had glass doors so you couldn't go on the track. It is a good idea to implement it in Las Vegas though.
Okay, but what happens, for god knows what reason, you find yourself on the inside of the glass next to an approaching train / monorail? Seems unlikely but an interesting question.
There was a dead link about "watermarking" on the page. Does this mean we'll be seeing "copy protection" built into images?
I say we just refine the.png standard. Human eyes don't see blue well, just make it lossy (one time, saving again doesn't make it worse) in the blue spectrum.
Sadly, it's unlikely that you'll see a console that runs both Dreamcast and Saturn games. The reason that the Dreamcast didn't run Saturn games was because the Saturn had twin processor chips that made it harder to program for.
I think it's more likely that we'll be seeing a GameCube/Dreamcast hybrid than what you speak of. Even if that possibility is remote.
Bad example. If you smoke in the same room as me, then you are affecting me. I find that if you are rude enough to smoke, then I will be rude enough to point this fact out to you in very blunt terms.
Seems to work just fine. If you share the same computer as I do, when you install spyware on your profile (Windows) it makes it's way onto mine.
You know, if the sneer on your face was any bigger I could probably drive an SUV through one of your nostrils.
Lighten up. You're getting as much karma for being an asshole as he originally did.

I mean, they're making it sound as if this is a stable release. Usually /. would preface development kernel releases with "Developer...".
You're right, that's not the sound of a stable release. A stable release has more oomph. "DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS!"
:)
But other senates would come along, right? The time for the U.S. to ratify the treaty came along when there was a new president & semi-new Congress.
Dang... and I though that they were going to finally standardize which side of the byte had the Least Signigicant Bit. :)

That's just it. How many of the 280 million people in the U.S. know, for example, what a kernel is?
Sure. He's the guy with the white hair who brought us all that great fried chicken!

The Dreamcast came with a working GD-ROM drive. Or are you saying that Sega was planning to make one available for PC use? That would be awesome!
Have you tried a GameCube? Half the price, decent games, a non-MS product and a damn decent controller!
