Oh - Diebold
had a Master System in a cart that pretty much just borrowed the input/output from the host Genesis - that's why it worked so well.
Pretty much exactly the same as the GB/GBA adaptors that Nintendo sold for the Snes/GC.
I have a few windows machine.
One - a 2003 server has never crashed - as I mainly leave that happily running Apache, mailserver etc.
One - my big beast has bouts of flakiness - everytime it's down to a flakey driver for some obscure or cutting edge piece of hardware. (a problem MS has attempted to address with signed/unsigned drivers).
Now if a company produces a buggy driver for Windows, you can usually be pretty sure they put even less effort into the linux one (if they bothered at all).

Now this seems to be complete and utter bollocks.

Now why would you include this - well I assume in an attempt to screw some money out of the lawyers...

Ms think they've got a product in pretty good shape.
They release it to other people.
Other people find problems and report them to MS.
MS fix problems.

There's all manner of virus scanners out there - many of them very good.
For my parents - I'd give them AVG every time. Like most people they had Norton and like most people they couldn't stand the consumer version (corporate one is much better and just quietly sits there protecting - but I digress). I installed them AVG and everything was great.
Shortly afterwards their PC started behaving weirdly - and for once they didn't pester me (I think I might be slightly patronising) - and my Dad eventually coughed up for the full version of AVG (not sure why - I think he thought it was better than the free version and might help more). Anyway, it was cheap to buy the full version so he did. Mailed their support to ask for help - and they actually phoned him back, talked him through his problem and fixed it - even though it wasn't a virus.
In a world of automated responses, bloated products and clueless support staff - this struck me as quite remarkable.
Anyway, I whole-heartedly wish to plug AVG and hope Grisoft get the recognition I feel they're due.
"If you think a Blu-Ray player by itself might be £600-700"
I'm sure as f*ck not going to pay anything approaching that for a BR player in a million years - I'm pretty sure I don't even want one at all.
Sony's entire logic for justifying the price of the PS3 seems to be "Well just think how much more we'd be screwing you if you bought a BR standalone player (and yes this would be the standard they're trying to get into as many homes as possible).
The more you think about it, the more warped it seems. It can't actually cost them more to make a BR player than a PS3 - so either:
a) they're ripping off all the BR player buyers and shooting themselves in the foor with the 3rd parties by undercutting them.
b) they're taking a massive hit on each PS3 they sell with a subsidy - which means the games will be horrendously expensive as they try to claw back the hundres of dollars you 'owe them' - and all the people who just want it for films, buy a PS3, don't buy games, so Sony'll have to claw back the money on BR films (which will in turn give HD-DVD the advantage) and and oh ffs.....
Sharp made a lot of minidisc players - and prices definitely did fall. The problem was they refused to advance the format in ways that made sense. My the time they introduced something that allowed you to drag music from your PC to minidisc - MP3 had taken over and flash memory was cheap.
Memory sticks were also not 'all bad' I like being able to pull my duo out of my phone or camera, stick it in my PSP and it to recognize and display the pictures. The bad thing is that there is no reason this couldn't be done with an SD card - and they keep on changing the format. Memory stick was fine. Duo was smaller. Micro of whatever it is seems to serve no real purpose other than to make use all buy new cards again.
for $600 you get an hi-def video player AND a console.
As you point out, it costs $500 for a Toshiba HD-DVD player. What you neglected to mention was that if you want a BR player you have to pay more. If you look across the range of BR and HD-DVD players announced, the BR simply cost more.
Now for BR to beat HD-DVD they need to get more players out there, and more people buying movies in that format. Sony are currently undercutting all their BR licensees with the PS3 - they really really can't be happy about this (possibly why they've deliberately hobbled the cheaper PS3 to at least allow the low-end BR makers to produce an HDMI player for less than Sony's more expensive PS3?)
Overall Sony are pretty much going it alone. They're betting the number of BR players put out there solely with the PS3, will crush the number of HD-DVD players put out there by all the different manufacturers and Microsoft.
It's a brave bet - if it fails though, it's just going to land them making expensive PS3s for a very long time.
Just to have a look at Sony - Betamax, minidisc, memory stick/duo/micro, SACD, UMD blah blah. The have a long history of creating media formats to line their own pockets, that never take off outside of their own product line (and then usually curl up and die). Quite often they're technically better - but they never manage to get other companies to use them. I hoestly can't see why BR will be any different.
was the lack of HDMI on the cheap model. Now this hasn't saved Sony any money - they've deliberately done this so if you want to guarantee HDTV playback, you have to stump up the extra money.
Now there may be a couple of reasons - they don't want to stop 3rd party BR players producing systems (you're not going to sell many if the PS3 has all the same features as your product for less), or it may just be they're taking such a bit on the low cost (?!?) machine they have to produce they're inventing reasons for those with the cash to upgrade.
I mean FFS, how much does a socket cost? A memory card reader? The difference in HD prices?
It just seems the 360 core system was OK, but the premium pack was worth the extra as you saved a load by buying stuff you'd probably get anyway upfront.
The PS3 basic pack just seems to be the full priced one, just deliberately hobbled to make you regret buying it. The bundled extras just don't justify the cost - you could go out and buy all the USB peripherals/upgrades yourself for less than the difference.
Increased storage capability? I don't need more storage. I felt myself running a bit short a while back and picked myself up a 500Gig external drive - problem sorted.
Now I can't be bothered wandering off and doing sums, but it's going to be quite a while before it works out cheaper for me to buy a BR drive and a pile of media than an external hard drive (which is much more convenient).
In fact the more I think about it, the more is seems the only reason I'd need a huge amount of storage space is to store rips of the new hi-def disks...
I've put up with the new standards up until now, but enough is enough - I just WISH everybody would stop banging on about BR/HD-DVD and which console will support which. I just want a good game, or a good movie. I mean the same game/movie might be a teensy bit better, but really.... I don't care enough to even carry one posting this post.............
I'm quite happy with DVD for now - and I'll be damned if I'm going to buy either standard for the foreseeable future.
I mean I'd like Hi-def, but the amount it's going to cost me to upgrade and all the hassles with the competing standards, the retarded prices they'll be charging, the 'oh this can't play on your PC as we don't like the connector you're using' blah blah
I just can't be bothered. DVD'll do me fine for a few more years - and after that I'll be sticking to media-less content.
but google seems to rank the X1 as 0-60 in 'under 4 seconds' - the Ariel Atom 2 chasis that the car's based on does it 2.9-3.5 depending upon who tested it.
Basically what I'm trying to say is that the X1 makers took a very very fast car with a 2 litre Honda petrol engine - and have made a slightly slower electric version for a significant multiplier more.
Whoopeee-skip.
Now if you want an electric car, this is all wonderful - but don't plug it as electric being better than petrol.

[Arron Perry was a Master corporal of the Canadian Armed Forces that set the record for the longest sniper kill in wartime. In Afghanistan during combat in 2002, using a.50-caliber MacMillan TAC-50 rifle, Perry shot and killed an Afghan soldier from a distance of 2,430 metres.
The record was set during Operation Anaconda when a Canadian three-man sniper team from the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, set the new record with a shot on a Taliban fighter. Perry, as well as four other Canadian snipers, received Bronze Stars from the U.S. military for their efforts.
Later in 2002, Perry was accused of discreditable conduct by the Canadian armed forces. He had allegedly removed a finger from an Al-Qaeda corpse, defecated on another, and had his picture taken with a third who bore a sign around his neck reading "Fuck Terrorism". No charges were ever laid in the investigation.
In April of 2005, Perry left the Canadian armed forces to pursue his own interests.]
Seems slightly strange you get medals for killing them - but messing with the corpses is a no-no.
NES - Nintendo Entertainment System - Does what it says on the box.
SNES - Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Same as NES, but 'super..er'
N64 - Nintendo 64 - It's made my Nintendo and it's got 64bits.
Gamecube - It plays games and it's an erm Cube shape.
Wii - WTF!!
Nintendo have quite clearly taken leave of their senses with this one. I mean.. look I can't really talk about this any more, it's making me upset, alright?
Should have made my point a bit more clearly. These artists are seemingly 'the big shots' - hence us even bothering to note what they're saying.
They do have weight with their record label - they're the people making the label money. Bleating about how unfair this is to the public is a completely hollow PR move. There is absolutely no reason at all that they can't state "When my contract is up for renewal, I will not sign with a label that will put DRM on my music, or prosecute fans for copying it".
There is no reason they can't do this, there are plenty of small labels all over the place who'd happily sign up Avril and her ilk to them. She's not going to do it though as the small label might not be able to pay her what she wants and plug the album enough to sell the number of copies she expects.
Sooooo what they're doing is simultaneously bleating about how 'uncool' they think the label is - yet not doing a single damn thing that might oooh cost them their own money, to alter the situation.
If they genuinely have no leverage with their label why should be devote a single iota of interest into their views on the matter - they'd be just as valid as my own (although mine would lack quite the level of hypocrisy)
So they've come out against DRM - good for them. Now what's the betting when I pop over to iTunes and try to buy their music it's going to be an m4p, not an m4a?
Any reason they couldn't ask Apple to remove the DRM on their own music?
Now I can't even be bothered checking as I already know the answer to my question. It's a stupid PR puff-piece by a bunch of artists who don't want to be associated to the negative press the music industry collectively receives when they prosecute some non-computer owning deaf 90 year old.
you can buy DVD films at yours news stand packaged up with a cardboard backer to make them 'magazine shaped'. A bit less similar in the UK is the trend for convenience stores to sell DVDs for very little. Now it used to be the case that these were rubbish, straight-to-video titles - but now they all seem to be perfectly good films, that you never quite got around to buying.
I'm currently trying to clear out my flat and looking at a the good few hundred DVDs I have on the shelf, was sorely tempted to just bin all the packaging - I just don't want to as I F'in paid for it through the nose.
As has been pointed out, he did some consulting - signed and NDA and stood by the conditions of it.
The thing that makes my mind boggle a bit, is that RIM doesn't seem to have made a big deal out of this. You'd think if you were trying to defend agaisnt a patent, you might try to invalidate that patent by point out prior art. Yes?
The impression I came away from this with is there's a guy who invented a great concept, walked away when the instance went belly-up and happily got on with his life. There's NTP who made a fortune by lawyering up and leveraging their patents to shake down a market gorilla.
Finally there's RIM who built a great business out of other people's ideas - and seemingly were completely clueless as to the origins of the technology they've built their entire business model around. Personally I have little sorrow for the amount they had to pay NTP off with.
My exceptionally boring (yet I love it to bits) Ford Focus (3 years old) has loads of tiny heating elements built into the front windscreen. I press a button on the dashboard an in about 15 seconds it's melted whatever happened to be stuck to the windscreen. Well actually it's more like what described here, it melts the layer between the ice/snow and the glass, so as you drive or use the wipers it all just comes off in chunks.
The only advantage I can see with this method is that it's a bit faster and I assume cheaper to make (I got the windscreen bundled in my package, the cost of replacing it is astronomical seemingly).
I've just thought, you could actually inject this stuff into a foetus and wind it all the way back to like before conception or summat.
You could actually destroy a soul - Take that God!!!
with every leak of photos I now realise that not only are they abusing prisoners (in my name), but I've seemingly armed a complete bunch of retards.
At least if they kept the abuse quiet, whilst it would be equally bad, I'd know we only had abusive non-redneck-retards.
You worked 80 hours and when you got home, probably didn't want to see another video game.
Now you're down to a nice normal 40 hours, you've got your life back and probably have a bit of free time - you also have a great big pile of game producing skills in your head. Should you wish to make something interesting as a hobby, you're now in a much better position to do so, then when you were working for Atari (and in a much better position that somebody like myself who doesn't have a clue how to make a game).
