1) Film companies stop making movies because there's no way for them to make their investment back, an incredibly large amount of people lose their jobs, and one of the major exports from the US disappears.
Also, how much do you use Java? If I just walked into Java, or the professor of my class just walked into Java, or the graphics guru TA for the course just walked into Java... would any of them have any idea of how to do it?
They'd use google, ffs. Apparently, a graphics is not tied to a resolution, so it just doesn't make sense.
Learning is so hard...
Python 3000 at the time was just a bunch of features that would be nice to have, but would imply major changes and hence weren't just in the the next version. It was only when ideas stabilized that the Python 3.0 project materialized, so there was no 10 years of uncertainty on things are going. You aren't influencing anyone to take a serious look at Perl with that comment.
I was expecting to be unmoved by that story, since I know things like that happen frequently everywhere. But it was hard to be cold about it, and my day got a lot sadder for it.
Yeah, because being forced to buy something twice is the capitalistic way to do it. If it can be profited from, it should. Tell me again how that is supposed to make me not pirate.
Dal, it's slow. Copying files, updating icons (which it does over and over for no discerning reason) and then every other time. I've ran it for a year and a half on a brand new PC because I couldn't figure out what drivers I needed for XP. Now that Vista decided to hard lock every 8 hours and blue screen installing SP1 (hey, maybe it fixed something, though it worked just the same with the beta) and that I had to reinstall Windows, I just upgraded to some pirated remastered version of XP. The speed difference is enormous, even doing something like scrolling a page in Firefox is much much smoother and enjoyable. And I've lost nothing in functionality that I used (superfetch and shadow-something were just a waste of resources for me, UAC just trained me to click ok by having me doing over and over when updating system settings, like ordering the fucking start menu), everything still runs fine, but much faster. I've lost DX10, but I can't tell the difference anyway. And now games shouldn't lose so much time preloading their working set to memory (I haven't had time to try them yet), games would just slowly ground away for a few minutes while it swapped whatever to memory. That's my experience. Dog slow on a 2gb E6300 machine. And uglier than XP. I'm glad to have gotten rid of it, hopefully forever.
I'd say that they are, since they are derivative works of original code. If they were distributed as patch as they were in the days of old, then they would be legal (on countries without DMCA-like laws).
You know what I meant, and yes, E230-ish (can't remember exactly how much it was) was not unreasonable at all: it is much cheaper then a N810 here. I guess it doesn't have a GPS, but if I buy one I want an NDrive anyway.
NeoGeo works, and so do the majority of Super NES games. But whether those platforms are "more than a Genesis" is in the eye of the beholder.
Maybe, my tests weren't conclusive. If they indeed run at 60fps, I stand corrected. It does not run Chrono, but it won't need to in the next month:D
Are you talking about Nintendo DS Browser or DSOrganize Web Browser?
The one that's somewhat usable.
In what way?
From the look I had at tutorials, the libraries weren't very easy to use. You can't take the easy road and use Python or Java either. Having a host of useful linux utilities is impractical.
MoonShell works for me. Sure, you have to convert video to DPG for the DS, but you also have to convert video to the PSP's obscure flavor of MPEG-4.
And because the PSP fails as well I should like the DS capabilities? The GP2X and the Pandora play regular formats natively, without having to connect to a PC at all, just connect a USB device, whilst sending the signal to a tv. It will be possible to read a book and listen to music as well. You will be able to put a podcatcher in it.
You're defending that it's easier and better to hack software into running on closed hardware? Just because you can do it on a DS doesn't mean it's acceptable for everyone.
My problem with the GP2X was the damn controller. Which is still better than what the Eee has, which is nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if the snes or ps1 emus end up being more optimized than for the Eee. I almost forgot, it has a proper 3d chip, not the Intel crap. But, other than the form factor, controls and battery life (and more memory on the Eee) there isn't much difference between the two.
I'm sure the Nintendo DS portable will still be #1 for several more years.
I'm sure it will, it has brilliant games! That wouldn't stop the Pandora from being a success at all, though, they're not competing that much. The DS isn't particularly good with emus thanks to a small screen, can't really emu anything more then a Genesis, has a damn slow browser which also suffers from the screen, is hard to code for, doesn't work as a Portable Media Player, and so on and so forth.
If the Pandora makes the buyers happy, and the coders of the community keep coding and making all kinds of nice things, then it will be successful even with 15000 sales.

"like Tidus whining about getting sucked into a kickass adventure with people like Auron and Wakka, AND getting a girlfriend out of it;"
Nevermind the fact that everyone he ever knew is LONG dead, even Auron as far as he knows.
Except that MS, Sony, Apple and even IBM are known to do the same thing.
So, Nigerians are more intelligent than Americans?
Regardless of whether it would be a good or a bad thing, movies would still be made in Hollywood.
Was I misunderstading or did you really meant that you prefer macs because they do less?
They'd use google, ffs. Apparently, a graphics is not tied to a resolution, so it just doesn't make sense.

You're starting to make me sorry I actually bought a couple of your games. Just shut up.
"GOW" and "good game" in the same paragraph... hmmmm...
What does the law have to do with morals?
They did it for the iPhone, so that can't be the problem.
That's not CYA, that's having no humanity left. I don't think the army needs not to have it, despite killing people.
Except this year, where the joke was that there were no jokes. Or I might just have a bad memory...
So you don't sell it in that country. If someone imports it, it's nor your fault or your problem.

Then stop wasting to much money making it. Simple solution that doesn't make you a special case in the eyes of the law.
Yeah, because being forced to buy something twice is the capitalistic way to do it. If it can be profited from, it should.
Tell me again how that is supposed to make me not pirate.
Then stop throwing your money into gambling.

That's normal, you have to reinstall the damned thing.

Blame the US economy, my numeric friend. It's a reasonable price in Europe.
