This isnt for wireless networking, but wireless data transmission, a la RS-232. 250kbps is fast enough to handle anything that's ever going to come out of your serial port.
PS2 linux was discontinued 2 years prior to the slimline.. FFXI is about the only game it cant play, however, it's compatible with about a dozen PSX games the original couldnt play.
Big deal, hardware revisions / cost cuts carry these kinds of casualties. Theres a handful of genesis titles that won't play on the Genesis III "hockey puck" console, or the Nomad - nor can either be hooked up to a sega CD or 32x.
There were the regular zombie guys (ok two flavors of them but they looked th same), the minotaurs, the medusas, the harpies, and... That's all I remember? I played it all the way through..
I stuck with it all the way through, and the story was good, I just found the gameplay a little too easy and brainless for my taste.
I literally fought through levels just hitting the controller against my ass - my test for whether or not a game is a button masher. If I can beat it with my ass, it's not hard enough.
He exposed it at a hackers conference, to the same assholes who think its nifty to write an e-mail worm, or install sniffers to watch for credit card numbers.
He could have told Cisco themselves, or at the least, in security related fora.
You're the type of moral relativist probably wants to give Al Qaeda a medal for exposing the structural flaws in the WTC.
Graphics aside, GoW was really a brainless button masher. The "puzzles" (if you can call them that) seemed to be geared for toddlers, or maybe chimps. You mainly just ran around beating up the same 4 enemies over and over.
Yeah, it was really pretty.. But not what I call a great game. I mean, if you like that kind of stuff, it's great. If you liked Devil may Cry, you'd like it.
Gamecube has its share of eye candy too (RE4 looks amazing, IMO). They all do. IMO the eye candy war ended in a three way tie. They all look about the same to me.
I play games, not hardware. I could give a shit who's logo is on the box if the game is good.
You dont need a modchip to do the IPL injection exploit. A specially crafted file on an SDRAM chip, and a gameshark code to trick the cube into executing it, does the exact same thing.
You will sacrifice stability, no doubt. Imagine a linux box without kflushd in the background. Eventually, unexpected power outage or something of the sort will trash the HDD irretrievably.
Services arent CPU intensive, they sit idle unless in use. No, you don't need the logon service, you can have it always log on as administrator, and never properly log off or shutdown - but again, eventually it'll shit upon itself.
No, like linux, all it needs is a kernel. You don't even need the GUI (Umm, DUHHHH - Recovery Mode anyone?) Thats enough to make your computer do something. The rest of the basic services/daemons do serve a purpose.
Now, out of the box, a lot of (usually) useless services are activated. But significant features of the operating system will not function without them. Want to join a domain? You need the appropriate services. Most commercial Linux distros install a shitload of daemons most people don't need. For instance, I don't need cron or syslog on some of my machines - but they're always there.
The cause of this isn't shitty programmers or conspiracy bullshit, it's because neither Microsoft nor Red Hat have the ability to read your mind and peer into the future to decide what you're going to do with the OS once installed.
This is such non-fucking-news. It's sad how newbie oriented/. has become.
You could predict that for 10 hours a day, i'm sitting right here in this chair.
And that from 6 PM until about 6:30 PM, I'm driving home, and that from then on I'd be at my home, watching TV or fucking around on the intertron.
You'd be right about 85% of the time. No wonder this works better for grad students and professors, adults with responsibilities typically have schedules.
All they do is piss away money there, dont they? Well piss a little my way, will ya?
300 baud? Everyone has 1200 except in the early days, and anyone even remotely elite (we didnt spell it with numbers in those times) had an RS-232C adaptor and was hitting 2400

The HDDs are removable/replacable. The DVD drive probably is too.
It's probably not a case of "buy a whole new xbox", rather "buy a new drive when the price is down under 50 bucks".
BFD, it'll be years before you see console games that need 30 gigs of storage.
Sony has said that the for the first year or two all games will be on DVD, just as the first year or two's worth of PS2 games were on CD.
You can play the hardware specs if you want, real gamers will always play games, which is the real "proof in the pudding".
I never heard of this douchbag outside of slashdot. He's not well respected or well read.
So, whats the scoop?
Also, anyone notice we dont see no more Roland Picopeels stories now that Sims is gone.

Arent there enough whales and shit to save here on earth?
People wanting to declare parks and conservation areas on a dead rock in space, I mean, wtf?
If a planet is geologically dead, which IIRC Mars is supposed to be, can it be terraformed?
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.
There's a whole cage full of you guys at the zoo. I'm sure they aren't losing any sleep.

Sure it will operate, sort of. You can run a linux box with no daemons, either, but eventually shit will happen.

LOL, I cant wait for the first round of (serious) posts that think Macs are better than PCs because they run Windows XP.

Not to be pedantic, but that's not what "works out of the box" means.
And not just because of the snide "it's too small, it sucks" comment about an mp3 player that's slightly larger than the iPod Shuffle?

Ya know the biggest selling point for the amiga was the PC "sidecar" that let it run 8086 stuff.
I was an oldschool Commodore fanboy, but the Amiga did die for reasons outside of the usual conspiracy theories.

Thats correct.
Despite the reputation, most of us dont have time for cartoons and comic books, even if they are in chinese.
