Mortal Kombat was worth the price for Genesis as it was the a game that was close to identical to the arcade version.
There, fixed it for you
How can you say that the SNES was close to identical to the Arcade version, when the main attractive that game had were the blood and the fatalities, which were absent from the SNES version?
The Sega Genesis version was much closer to the original, same thing with MK2, MK3 and Street Fighter Champion Edition and SUPER Street Fighter II
I just thought I should remind you that Nvidia doesnt manufacture video cards. They make chips and then sell them to other companies that in turn manufacture the video cards and motherboards that you buy in the retail or OEM channel.
Its those companies (MSI, ASUS, XFX, Gigabyte, etc.) you should be complaining to.
The concept of middle-click paste did not originate with Linux, and I seriously doubt that MacOS or even Apple is older than UNIX or The X window system (sp?).
I guess you really believe what your government tells you, and I cannot but feel sorry. I will reply in a more civil manner.
That program released by IBM is a scientific tool. Everything you can think of can be used for good or evil by a sufficiently determined individual, especially in science. The day you allow your government or your military intelligence to dictate what is good science and what is bad science, the terrorist have already won. Never allow your fears, to take away your liberties. It seems that you are perfectly happy to trade your freedoms for a false sense of security.
I am an environmental engineer and find this tool incredibly useful. Science progress is for the good of mankind, and I applaud IBM for releasing this tool for free and to the general public.
Oh my god! I don't know if you are trolling or just some ignorant redneck that really believes this crap.
If it's out in the internet, do you really believe that this kind of registration is going to stop a real "terrorist"?
Terrorist: I am going to download this nifty tool an wreak havok on america. mwahahahaha! IBM: Sorry you have to register first and since your IP is not in the USA we have to review your application Terrorist: Ah bummer, I guess the USA is triumphant again:(
Not being an US resident, but being familiar with american culture, I have never truly understood the reasons for naming practically all college fraternities with Greek letters. Anyone care to elaborate a bit on that?
Not likely. Suppose an ultramassive 'something' is pulling the whole universe in one direction, if that was the case, the background radiation would be stronger on the opposite side of the attracting object and the acceleration of galaxies and other objects in our visible universe would have the same direction.
As has been mentioned, the background radiation is the same no matter where you look at, and the doppler shift of the big majority of galaxies shows that almost every single one is moving away from us.
If you really wanted to "drive the industry forward" you'd be using a AMD FX-55 or something exotic like that. I believe they cost about the same than these "new 64-bit processors" from intel.
Not saying that you aren't, but your reply seemed to imply that these P4's are doing that.
Also if you plan to switch to dual core by the end of the year, there's no reason to pay for these overpriced cpu's now when something much better is a few months away.
AMD mobile cpus (athlon-xp and athlon64) have better speed/power scaling than pentiums. You can adjust the power management of the battery through policies both in Windows and Linux (it's much more flexible in linux).
You can have your battery powered laptop perform just as if it was connected to AC if you want, but it would drain the battery rather quickly, or you can set policies for maximum battery that tipically involve locking it to the lowest frequency available
The advantage relies in that amds have a wider spectrum of frequencies they can be set to, while pentiums, if i am not mistaken only have two. a Low power and a high performance mode.
If you had RTFA you would had surely noticed (in the third paragraph, no less) that the actual marketshare of IE had been quite stable over the course of two years and in the last month it has been declining consistently from 95.73 to 94.73. I believe you understand the significant difference (both relative and absolute) between 99% and 95%
I believe there's no need to further explain the difference between
Internet Explorer's share of the browser market has dropped 1%
From an article about Sedna featured on Scotsman News International appeared on Google News which displays the following paragraph:
Dr Michael Brown, an astronomer at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, who led the NASA-funded research, said: "The sun appears so small from that distance that you could completely block it out with the head of a pin."
The temperature on Sedna never rises above -400C, making it the coldest known object in the solar system.
It must be an extremly bizarre planet because its temperature is WAY below the absolute zero which is known to be at -273 C
UnrealScript ins incredibly modular and object-oriented. Implementing such mod would be extremly simple and you wouldn't have to touch a single line of OpenGL or C/C++ code even.
It would be a very interesting initiation to UnrealScript and would serve as a very educative experience. You should really try it
I think you want the player to get *slightly* frustrated *occasionally*. Not
badly, and not often, but if the player always wins without putting in some
extra effort, that's no fun either. When the player's tactics and skills
stagnate, you want to start beating him some of the time. (Not all of the
time. Not, even, most of the time, I think. But some of the time.)
I think that was the essence of my point, just worded differently
Tetris is a great example of a game that can become
infinitely hard. Is the player stacking perfectly, covering no empty spaces?
Well, then, raise the probabilities on the hard pieces. Is the player in
deep doodoo, stacked past the middle of the board? Throw him some easy
pieces.
I think Tetris is a bad example for adaptative AI or similar term, becasue in the essential way of tetris, you are not playing against an AI. The pieces are random, and the only variable is the speed at which they fall. Since you technically _CAN'T_ win in Tetris, you only play against yourself by lasting longer, or making a higher score.
Perhaps one of the gazillion variations of tetris would make a better example, like one of these where you actually battle someone by dropping pieces in their board or obstacles or whatever.
If there was a point where it became unbeatable, then it was not very good at adapting, was it?
The essential point in adaptive AI on games is to be difficult enough for anyone to be entertaining, without getting frustrating, or the opposite, that it's so trivial to beat it that it becomes uninteresting.
Samsung is korean, there's no memory manufacturer called wintel, and I dont think IBM manufactures their own SDRAM. Maybe solid-state devices and flash storage. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If you "totally recommend it", don't you think it would be a good idea to say, you know, what phone is it?
There, fixed it for you

Somehow, I dont see GM or Ford offering incentives to its employees for buying Toyotas.

You can easily change that:

That's why you bought a Sempron, right?
I believe this is done to keep consistency with the system.
On linux its under Edit, but its called Preferences. The philosohpy behind that is that Preferences is something you Edit
Under windows its under tools because thats where it is under MSIE, and its called Options there
That's not enterely true.

That's the whole point. It makes no sense to include a tiny SD card with the camera that almost no one uses and it only serves to drive the price up.
Everything you say it's true, except the part about the Nobel Prize.
Professor Hawking has never won the Nobel Prize. You might want to confirm that up in the several bios available on the net.
