I'm sure it would have worked like normal if I could have seen the sword glow. The dumb camera kept zooming out to encompass the entire giant, so the prince and sword was too dinky.
I was playing the ps2 version. I can't find the original thread, but I found another on gamefaqs explaining this:
The wackamole combo style of PoP:TT killed me so many times when fighting the giant ogre boss. For the uninformed it works like this: figure out how to initiate the combo. For the ogre boss this meant climbing up a wall and jumping at him. Once initiated you have to watch your sword and listen. At the right time when the sword glows you press [attack] (can't remember which button it is right now). Then wait for the next glow. And the next.
Unlike other combos when fighting ordinary peons (where you only have to press [attack] and then you can release x till the next time your sword glows) you actually have to keep [attack] held down, then when the sword glows you have to release then press. Should you release [attack] the camera zooms out and you can't even see the stupid sword glow, thereby ruining the combo, and the ogre counters.
I had to google several forums before I found a solution
What I'm saying is that some developing countries are significantly better than others. Enough so that a roll out of these new laptops can be done without significant theft and murder over the laptops (no more than any other good) How about India?
Your right its not appropriate for every 3rd world country. But there are other developing countries without corrupt governments, local crime bosses and gangs.
Infinity can also propagate through an expression because you know the sign.
From the example say your auto pilot does divide by 0 when trying to decide to go right or left(As if the ADA code in the air plane wouldn't throw an expression) you could propagate the result through subsequent expressions as + or - inifinity which means maximum possible bank right or left depending on the sign. I'd much rather have the additional sign information than invent a new type without it. (The IEEE floating point spec adds some additional confusion to a novice programmer: 1/x where x=0 equals positive infinity but the floating point hardware does not know how x varies. If x is an iterative variable that approaches from the negative side, it'd be more appropriate to say that 1/x when x gets to 0 = negative infinity)
However inventing higher forms of advanced math to solve safety critical problems is silly. Its up to the programmer to understand the range and possible inputs

Here's one for the list. Constant dialog sequences where the text prints out slowly and I'm pressing buttons to make it go faster. Now I'm playing Okami and you can't speed up the text.
writing documents. With a 21", I can view two entire pages (A4 in my case) side-by-side. On a 19" that's possible in principle, but the zoom factor's not comfortable for long periods. 21" is the minimum size for this to work.
I think aspect ratio is a bigger issue for you than screen size. Is that 21" monitor 16:9 or 4:3
many applications consist of one honkin' big window, instead of several medium-size ones. Outlook comes to mind.
Thats exactly why having multiple monitors is better. I want that big honkin window to be maximized but that covers everything. With two or more monitors each monitor is a unique area where you can maximize without covering the entire real-estate.
Watching a movie is better on a 30" than on two 19".
Well the original point is business productivity. I'm not going to try to convince my Boss with that argument. But its valid for a home office.
There is not a single time on any channel during any day that I can reliably watch music videos
My hdtv recieves many more digital channels than analog. Most of them are junk weather but there is a dedicated music video channel called 'The tube' that shows music videos 24/7. All this is over air-waves. I didn't have to pay a cable company to recieve it.
I wonder what the business model of this channel is cause I've never seen any adds.
All Risc CPUs I can think of (sparc, power-pc, mips) have more registers than any cisc CPUs I can think of (68k and x86) When comparing motorola 68k assembly to power pc assembly you'd actually think that the power-pc is more cisc than the 68k. And it is. However the 68k has a variable length instruction encoding while power-pc instructions are fixed length.

Am I they only one sick of hearing how great Miss ADA is?
>Furthermore, you need the exact numbers anyway whenever you want to solve something.
Many solvers are dependent on the initial guess. Graphing and zooming is one way to find that guess.
My ti89 has been working just fine for 7.5 years now. The slide off cover is hard so it does protect the screen.
GCC is available for the ti89 and hp49g+/50g+. C code written for the arm is going to much faster than assembly written for the 68k.
>There really isn't that much difference between a 9Gig disc and a 50Gig disc besides 41Gigs.
When you account for improved codecs isn't it more like 9 to a theoretical 100 to 150.

$400 xbox with 20 gigs + $99 wireless network adapter + $200 HD-DVD player = $700
a 60 gig PS3 will be $600.
Of course you have to care about these features and even if you do care about high def you're picking a side in blueray/HD-dvd format war.
It ain't x86 but that is the point of the cell cpu
um a 15" diagnol at a 4:3 aspect ratio is 108 inches^2.
and that 30" monitor is probably a 16:9 = 384 inches^2.

How do you change the volume and scroll through the menu system at the same time ?
The next music player I get is going to have dedicated volume buttons.

By taxing the "wealthy" more and taxing the "poor" less lets the "poor" keep more of their own money. So its indirectly giving money to the "poor"
The contrast ratio of that sharp is 1200:1, the samsung model has a 4000:1.
Its sort of subjective but I'd prefer the Samsung model.
