Exactly. MS wants you to buy the plain XBOX360 now. I wonder if the XBOX would be upgradable when the HD-DVD is released the week after everyone has bought the plain XBOX.
Extracting an ISO is only step one. How about waiting to publish this news until someone coded an emulator or has a modchip available? This news fits nicely on an emulator site, but isn't much of use to the average/. reader.
So I propose to spend the rest of this comment section on discussing the impact of cute colored toy horses on the mental development of zebras.
Seriously, do you take yourself serious? The nazi ideology is death. It has been death since 1945. Those people who're still calling themselves nazies are just morons. They could be part of a modern day group of mass murderers (plenty of these still availabe in many parts of the world) instead they waste their time with ideology-necrophilia.
Yes, ofcourse we do.
Arm developers are a very important industry. Without it we wouldn't have realistic weapon models in our games. No sir, if it wasn't for the arm companies we would have shitty weapon models that weren't even near realistic. We should thank our deity for those marvelous people of the weapon factories, without them we wouldn't be were we are today.
I've played quite a lot 3D shooters and some time ago, I got the opportunity to try out a simulator the police uses to train on using a handgun. This simulator has a screen on which a situation is played (in real video) and you use a gun fitted with an IR light. Now compared to a standard FPS the "levels" are quite easy. (only 5 bad guys and a hostage) But it's a whole different matter to use a "real" gun instead of a mouse pointer. And this simulator doesn't even have the recoil or the painfull noise that comes with firing a real gun.
Not to mention that it's a real eye opener when the instructor points out you fired 8 rounds while the (real) gun holds only 6...
Games don't train people to be better killers, if it was the army wouldn't waste so much money using real ammo for traing soldiers.
"Think of a thread as a set of instructions for a program's job."
Worst definition of the day.
"Think of a thread as a routine that runs on his own, while the rest of the program continues as normal." would be a little closer. The original definition sounds more like a routine than as a thread.
Or you get a "Cannot connect to ad-server. Exiting."
"Right now, the fact that publishers are putting so much emphasis on multiplayer online play and replay ability is in some ways actually hurting their bottom line."
Honestily this guy should have gone into renting business.
Playing with weather... Won't that annoy the hippies!
Simple: direct a tornado over to where they protest. Or a miniature, very short lasting, local ice age. Half an hour of -90C tends to cool off most protesters.
That's 1.6 million pictures of breasts. Considering that there are 86400 seconds in a day, you have to see 18.5 pictures/second to see them all each day.
The refresh rate on a monitor these days is 90Hz, so it can display 90 images/second or 7,776,000 images per day. With other words you need 5 of such disks to make full use of you computer and that's even without using dual screen, or higher refresh rates. We still have a long way to go.
How about this version of the experiment: 4 cards in 4 differend colors. Both have to pick the same color. Except for the color, all 4 cards are identical and they can be present in any way, so you can't rely on their relative location.
A whole lot of people spend around 4 to 5h in front of a TV every day of the week, mostly without interruption and that's considered normal. TV addiction is much more widespread than computer game addiction. Yet I haven't heard of a TV user anonymous. IMO most TV viewers have serious issues.
We'll all end up with Internet ID cards and webcams to monitor us so they can throw us into detention for Homer knows how long until they crack our drives
a) Use super-encryption.
b) Spend 54 years in jail without trial as they need to crack your HD first.
c) Get sentenced for 6 months for having an illegal file.
d) publish book on your life as a prison sex toy
e) Profit!!!
f) buy new ass.
Wireless radio? Who had ever tought that would be possible. Now we'll be able to listen to radio in our cars! Soon these might even be small enough to be carried around. I expect that to happen in the near future, sometime around 1950 or so.
They'll go a bit deeper. All this will do is forcing criminals to use encryption. And then what? Investigate everyone who uses encrypted connections? Just picture you have taught your parents to use online banking and then the cops drop in to investigate why you're using encryption. After that I don't think you'd ever be able to get them use any internet related services ever again.
That's one of the games I remember best from when I was a kid. My neighbour had a Genesis (He has had pretty much any Sega console) and this game is the one I still remember. A few years ago, when I found some sega emulators, I wanted to get this game, but couldn't remember the right name. Until now! Time to find the rom...
Instead of playing online games after midnight, the gamers could play loud games in the neigbourhood of anyone who was for this law. I suggest paintball. A few weeks of that should solve this stupidity.

hmm, what's worse? A bullet through your stomage and a slow painful death or being assraped every day in the showers?
Weren't European criminals exiled to Australia a few centuries ago? I seem to remember me something about this being mentioned in The Simpsons.

Not stupid, just paranoid sensationalism.

Not really. Is it so hard to decode a headline? There is a whole article explaining it anyway. You did read the article, did you?

How about the antibiotic-resistant germs? So either that's a strong indication of evolution at work or it proves that your god likes to kill people.

Well, it would be the first oppressive regime that makes information easily available to its minions.

hmmmm.
