That's true about the US, but it's certainly not true about Japan where arcades enjoy a huge popularity. Maybe that's going to change now that Nintendo DS and Sony PSP make high-quality multi-user gaming evreywhere possible. Another country I've seen where arcades still are very popular is Spain. I don't know why, might be because there are so many tourists or because many people don't have a video game console or a PC at home.
IMHO, the rating "M" doesn't equal "mature" games, e.g., I don't consider Postal 2 or GTA "mature".
(But yes, I like them. I'm just a particularly immature 30-year-old nerd).
IANAP (I am not a physicist) but this sounds really strange. I mean, it's a sticker.
Can anybody with more knowledge on this topic estimate if this could possibly/likely improve battery life (or reduce memory effects)?
Why aren't you complaining about the lack of Genetic Algorithms as well?
At this point I have to add that evolution is just a theory. Obviously, the lack of success of "Genetic Algorithms" proves that creationist intelligence is superior and that Darwin was wrong.
File closed.
What *I* don't get is why they're illegalizing games that are "pirated". What does that mean? They saw a guy selling pirated copies of FIFA on the street, so then they're blocking imports of that game entirely?
This is China. On every corner someone approaches you an tries to sell pirated DVDs, games, etc. Police seems to ignore that.
Now if they see a guy selling copies of an illegal game I'm afraid, this guy might soon stand on a corner in Inner Mongolia (with other problems than selling illegal DVDs)
Copyright violation is no big issue in China. Selling potentially government-critical stuff is.
I think the original Wolfenstein 3D as well as Quake and Quake II were developed on NeXT hardware running NextStep, OS X's direct predecessor.
ID said, PCs simply crashed too often to be used for game development. At that time, at least.
Is it "beleaguered" already? I am really glad that I invested in the shares of a certain "beleaguered" company a few years ago, when their shares were around 18$ (now around 70).
Maybe I should buy Nintendo stock now.
More conclusive evidence, and still Bush refuses to sign up to Kyoto. Now it's just a matter of which will destroy the planet first... American wars of conquest or American pollution.
Haven't you read on FOXnews that there's nothing to worry about? Apparently, the whole global warming-thing is just hyped by the U.N. Because they want to destroy the American economy. Bad guys. We can be glad that GWB doesn't give a shXXX uh, isn't so easily confused by science.

Unfortunately the arcade died years ago.

How about Matrox? Are they still in business?
Haven't heard anything from them for ages....

Stick a sticker on a battery to extend its life ? Someone needs to get a life.
Hmmm... If enough people belive this, someone will make a living.

Dude, you may be a gamer, but you aren't a true gamer.

Satisfied?
Police would never arrest someone just because of the browser he was using.
I hope you're right. The link provided in the article doesn't provide much information about the nature of the attack.
Searching on BBC for "lynx" shows that this browser is very popular in Britain, they even named a real animal after it.
I didn't even know the Lynx was able to go online.
I have a similiar device. I've never used it for web browsing, though. Am I safe?

I sold my account 4 years ago for $700!!! I laughed at the sucker who bought it.
Why, thank you. I bought your account and sold it 3 1/2 years ago for $3000. Hehehe.
(Unfortunately, that's not true)
Why would you hate them, I thought they represented the American co
See? He expressed only the slightest doubt, and they pulled the plug.
Rest in peace, my friend.
Aren't we supposed to, like, hate that, or something?
I'm sure it's one of those nice and friendly multinational corporations, like umbrella corporation.
Seriously, if you have ever watched a film or played a video game, you know multinational corporations are always evil! Hate them!

Java IS NOT slow
If anything, the interface gives it a feeling of slow.
"Has wrote?"
Should be: "Has writed"
Whoa, calm down, I don't give uhh, I don't care about names either.
I'm happily running BSD, Linux and Mac OS X.
I didn't make a remark on any OS.
In case you wondered, why BG is so nice: The vaccine he donated is a vaccine against the open-source virus that threatens the western world.
GNU's not UNIX. Solaris is.
From your sig: The line between "Funny" and "Flamebait" is too thin for some to see.
So is it "funny" that someone modded you "flamebait"?

There goes my karma...
why would I plunk down $90 US (with the NES cartridge adapter) to play games on the road?
I'm running BSD on my Zaurus, you insensitive clod!

I love my Zaurus C 760, but it's hardly a bargain... yet it's worth every cent I paid.
