They said Xbox made it easy to port from PC.
Now comes the interesting point, Xbox 2 may make it easy to port to Mac, maybe it'll help the Mac gaming scene out
Its not like the shaders have to look exactly the same as before, hell they could make them from scratch and have them improved. You dont need Nvidia's proprietary shaders
How many people do you know who have gigabit ethernet?
Oh really? How can you guarantee this? Do you live in Bill Gate's attic and listen in on everything he says? There is no way you can know for sure they wont do this
No need to be so profane, makes you look like a jerk. Yo know damned well some games support the custom soundtracks or else the xbox wouldnt have the capability to rip games. Just because 2 games dont use it doesnt mean they all dont.
That "power switch interlock" was removed cause Nintendo felt ppl weren't stupid enough to try removing games while the thing was on, or that they'd learn their lesson after trying once.
Discs allowed huge space in comparison to carts, most ppl say not moving to CDs was N64's downfall. Miyamoto loves cubes controller and thats who counts in Nintendo's mind
The headphone socket wasnt removed, it was combined with the power plug. You can buy adapters for $5 to use it
The serial port on the PSX was barely ever used so they felt it was a waste
So what you're saying is, another company came out with solitaire for windows first and MS copied it, bundled it for free and drove them out of business?
OCX's are objects insertable into programs, I know this. However, amovie.ocx can be executed if passed to rundll32.exe, and Windows uses it as it's default media player if you tell WinMedia to unassociate itself
Windows media player is stored in msdxm.ocx
I admitted MCI32.ocx was not the file I was looking for, but it still facilitates multimedia functions via mci sendstring handling
If you make your own dll to play a movie format I will be impressed as all Ive done is use MCI sendstring, and other media players like msdxm.ocx and amovie.ocx.
Why force IE to be a worse product? It corrects a lot of mistakes by web programmers. Im sorry but your view on kill anything proprietary just doesnt work

Or lack thereof? JK. We understand cube cant be backwards compatable as easily as PS2 since the medium is differemt. So we cut it some slack

The correct quote is "They will not do this. "

It was more successful than Cube, 2 out of 3 isnt bad

Still funny? No. It wasnt funny 10 years ago, it never was. And if you think a dollar sign is funny, you're just the kind of viewer fox loves.
It's nice seeing someone who isnt the usual /.er with no manner's either
I thought of something like this years ago. If I can come up with it, I'm pretty sure a bunch of other people have.
Im interested in what kind of display they used.
It's nice seeing someone who isnt the usual /.er with blind hatred towards MS
Especially with all the /.ers complaining about windows virus's, you'd theink they'd be happy to see the (potential) end of them all
you can delete msdxm.ocx quite saftely

My XP machines works great and need no maintenance.
maybe you should sponsor a real study, and by that i dont mean your opinion
I say the exact same thing about Windows, but no one listens to me.
Excellent point

ban outlook (a microsoft product) for accessing hotmail (a microsoft product)? why should they stop their software from accessing their products?
Dang, thats not the one I meant, but it is a media player. The one I meant is called Active Movie. I think its amovie.ocx
(Run a search for MCI32.OCX)
There is a Windows Lite There is also Windows 95 And then the hacked up windows that fits into like 14 megabytes
A poor SA3Steve, dont worry, we agree with you
