I wont count Gamespy as they are ready to close down shop as well
What is the basis for that? While I have yet to speak with anybody in accounting, I can assure you that we are NOT going anywhere any time soon. 3DActionPlanet, PlanetQuake, PlanetHalfLife, and the rest of your favourites are NOT going anywhere.
Even though I am from a competing site, I am saddened to see this site go. While there is SOME online competition (there has to be, right?) it is always sad when a prominant member of the community like Daily Radar goes down. I'd like to wish the best to the staff of the site -- guys, thanks for running such a fantastic site, and good luck on any endevours that you undertake in the future.
I'm really starting to hate articles like this, which are published with little effort to verify facts. Throughout the whole piece, the author keeps saying that developers won't sign on with the X-Box because of XXX or YYY.
Another reason that the PS2 and GameCube won't be any competition is, well, pure numbers. The system specs of the X-Box, in a handy chart comparing them to the GameCube and PS2.

Online business is the same, from a management standpoint, as.. uh, real life business -- you need to offer something new and exciting in order to stay afloat. What, I can buy clothes online?

It's the same reason why I refuse to buy ANYTHING, other then things like CDs, online -- the return process is awful.
For the people who developed computer microchips, then the advanced math is VERY relevent. However, unless you find yourself under that particular umbrella, things like advanced calculus are surprisingly abstract. I'll even go so far as to say that grade 12 is getting a little.. iffy. I'm not ungrateful. I just speak my mind.
yeah, hate
what you don't understand...
And, for the record, I have always gotten approximately 95% in ALL of my math courses, so I DO understand the material.
"My
experience is that any mathematics I've done is useful eventually," Dr. Seroussi said.
Having been through 12 years of pre-university math, and a year long first year calculus course, I have concluded that math is REALLY only needed for one thing:
Answering the exam questions.
Other then basic arithmatic, I have yet to use, outside of a classroom setting, my knowledge about finding the tangent of a line, the cosine of anything, or how to bisect an angle. Unless you persue a career in architecture, or a similar field, the math that you learn begins to become more and more abstract.
will Gamespy and the other mass information and preview "outlets" start warning us about ad-riddled games before we buy?
I run GameSpy's 3D Action Planet, and, when I am given titles to review, we are supposed to discuss things that jump out at us, be it positive or negative. I can assure you that, if we see any advertising in a game, we will be sure to let you know! =)
Do you owe money? Is it getting troublesome keeping track

I don't know WHAT they are talking about -- I can find ANYTHING that I look for on Google -- even sites that I have just created a day or two ago have been found. These people just aren't using the right search engine, dammit! =)
I'm sure your post won't be the first -- I don't understand why everybody keeps slagging on MS. I'm currently running Windows 2000 Server as my webserver in the corner of my room; it runs Apache, an FTPdaemon, and ActivePerl, and has had an uptime of almost 3 months, completely error free.
I'm getting really tired of people just blindly assuming that Microsoft is going to turn out a poor piece of software. Have you even RUN Windows 2000? It is the most stable operating system I have ever seen, and yes, I've run Linux as well.
This isn't flame bait, or a troll, or anything else -- it is simply my opinion.
For the entry level price of 49 marks ($22.36) per month, users will be able to download 250 megabytes of data -- equivalent to about 2,500 e-mails -- at speeds up to 30 times faster than an ISDN connection, RWE said.
Uerm... 250 megs a month? Are you kidding me? This may be how they keep the initial price so low: the cost is probably like 2 marks per extra 10 megs of data sent. Yuck.
Q: How hard was it to work around the legalities of South Park and Star Wars to create Park Wars?
Park Wars.. well long story, we didn't get any permission.. but comedy central lawyers contacted us, and basically said that since it was done so well and in such good fun, that they wouldn't be carrying out any legal actions, instead, they featured it on the comedy central's main page, and sent Ted and Me a whole bunch of cool Southpark stuff.
Why didn't George Lucas do THAT? It's the same idea as that "Wazzup Superfriends" animation that was floating around a while ago: both BUD -AND- the copyright holders of the Superfriends characters could have sued the pants off the creators.. but they didn't. Why? Because it, like Park Wars, was done in good fun. No money was changing hands here..
Dam you, George Lucas, for foxing a project with a massive amount of potential.
Well, I just watched the film, and it is great -- especially the way they handled the George-Lucas-is-a-Greedy-Butt-Munch stuff: It is normal for the first half or so (following the film, using the sounds)... and then Shelly, Stan's older sister, walks onto the set and launches into this big speech about copyright laws and stuff. =)
Does anybody know if the full film was ever finished?
2) How hard can it possibly be to generate a random number, even for a simple OS installed in a router?
I actually had a rather lengthy argument with my computer sciences teacher about this -- it is impossible to generate a truely random number.
It is kind of like trying to prove something can't be done.

Paper Phones

· Score: 2
If paper phones like this start to become more and more popular, I would think that talking on the phone while smoking would become less and less common. I mean, how much would it suck to have your phone burst into flames whilst you were talking on it? =)
As strange as it may seem, (to myself included) I have realised that I don't have ANY pirated software on my computer. Even my OS (Windows ME, save the flames for later) is legit, and I have my own CD key to prove it. Therefore, if WindowsXP is as good as they claim, then I think that I would be more then willing to pay $100 for it. I don't care if it needs to be activated; if it's legal, who the hell cares? It's not an invasion of privacy, it is a company trying to stop the massive flood of pirated versions of their software.

Look at the X-Box developers list -- these companies are either already making games, or have signed on to DO game exclusively.
Another reason that the PS2 and GameCube won't be any competition is, well, pure numbers. The system specs of the X-Box, in a handy chart comparing them to the GameCube and PS2.
