It's got a nice gui which has preview functionality for many standard audio/video data formats. As a programmer using Perforce at the time, I was never a huge fan of it. But it seemed the artists and game designers were able to use it fairly effectively.
For crying out loud, I'm as much of a fan of Apple as anyone. OK, not anyone, but I do like my Powerbook quite a bit. But really, the ratio of Apple to non-Apple news on/. has become extremely high. I mean, where's the news about how Dell tries to sell accessories? It's not news, and neither is this.
How can you say a console you can't buy has been "rushed to market" ? Sorry, sir, but you are in a no-thinking zone. If you continue to think, you may be asked to leave.
GNU/Linux - a printer driver gone horribly wrong Nice sig. Made me lol.
So the terrorists know that they're being spied upon, allowing them to be more surreptitious in their planning? I guess the NY Times is yearning for another 9/11 to fill the pages of their paper for a few weeks.
I know this is ancient discussion, but your response is simply rude. My post pointed out that all measurements are ratios of one unit to another. Tell me why this is incorrect, and then call me ignorant. But you can't do the latter without the former.
Street Fighter was so fun for me because there so many things to learn. Looking back, these are life lessons that I couldn't do without.
Yes, indeed, whenever I'm faced with a difficult decision, perhaps something that could truly change the course of my life, I think of those lessons. Like the other day, when my girlfriend told me she wanted to see other people, my first thought was: "Down, Right, Up, Left, Y, B."
When I worked on a networked EA title a couple years back, we were required to put in a chat profanity filter. We were given some code and a file with the obscenity list that had been developed for a previous title. The obscenity file was pretty funny, containing some words we'd never heard before, and some ordinary words that we couldn't imagine used as obscenities. Combined with the code that tried to detect variations, it was weird, because it would allow some really standard obscenities you'd expect to filter out, and blocked stuff like "assume" and "sucker". Also amusing, the file ended up in plaintext on the disc. So if you dumped the disc contents, it looked like some disgruntled programmer had put all sorts of swears into the game.
Are you implying there's a bias to this article, which appears to be simply a short interview with Peter Graf, SAP executive vice president of solution marketing? I disagree.

I think the post may have been referring, vaguely, to Scott Bilas' talk at GDC a few years back about game object scripting. Indeed, it was not Python, but "Skrit", an in-house language. I found a link to the slides from the talk here...

Sony toted the Emotions Engine as the next greatest thing. Pretty standard marketing stuff.
Talked it up, saying it could do things that I have yet to see. Such as? Before the PS2, I'd never seen anything quite as nice as SSX.
They also said it was so powerful, that they would be releasing graphic workstations to compete with SGI and Sun. Maybe you've been living under a rock, but the specialty graphics workstation market has essentially disappeared, devoured by commodity PCs and graphics cards.
Where are these graphic workstations based on the emotion engine? Oh, that is right, there are none because Sony talked big and couldn't deliever on their claims. My guess is that they saw no business case for manufacturing graphics workstations.

How DARE you attack the beacon of truth, the wellspring of knowledge that is Anne Coulter.
Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
OK, well, in Coulter's case it may be both.
Free to air TV isn't as good as Cable, and you pay for cable.
Good point. I noticed that VH1 comes in much more fuzzy when the cable is unplugged.
Often used in game development for asset management. Commercial.

Trademark violation. Plymouth owns the "intellectual property rights".

So why do the turn indicators on Mercs and BMWs never work?
Based purely on observation, I'd guess it has something to do with radio interference from the drivers' cell phones.

The company ... was formed by a team of Executive MBA students to improve the performance of online video games.

Personally, I would've expected a tech start-up to include at least someone with a degree in, you know, technology of some sort...
Right, like during the dot com boom/bust, when a B.A. in Sociology made you a programmer.

I think they're referring to all things sold that have no wires. Like pomegranates.

If you need to spend extra cash to have fun... Maybe online MMORPGs aren't for you.
The irony of this statement is killing me.
"We're already making bucketloads of cash from an installed user base of 6 million just being a PC title. We don't need no stinkin' Xbox!"
Google says "cour de cassation" = "supreme court of appeal".

Oh no!! Earth is going to be destroyed by VD!! Blame the damn liberals!!
I, for one, welcome our VD-infested liberal overlords from space.

According to the talk, most of the "game" code (i.e. "non-engine" code) was written in Skrit.

Sony is known for talking big and not delievering, Emotion engine anyone?
"Emotion engine" is their name for the core CPU in the PS2. They've delivered about 100 million of them so far.
