We got Mirror's Edge, Spore, and Dead Space, all from EA.
Thanks to Transgaming creating Cider Windows emulator which EA use to make the games run on macs. It's not real ports, and it's more or less a no brainer for them. Why not release it if someone will buy it even though the resulting product is inferior*?
* From but running on an emulated layer and because OS X graphics performance probably isn't up to Windows speeds to begin with (and third because macs always tend to come with somewhat mediocre graphics even though you pay premium prices.)
lol, you got moderated 5 informative but your math is flawed.
Do it three times to get 97.9% accuracy instead of 99.3? Great!:D
Guess it should be something like: 1 - ((1 - 0.993)^3) = 0.999999657 ? =P Actually I have no idea, too tired to think about it but not 0.993^3 atleast:)
I don't think they do anything wrong either (don't know about the beta access), but asking for donations as appreciation for their work is all ok afaik.
I have no idea what dbIII was talking about though =P
My comment on AdaCore was simply informative for people who didn't knew what they did / why it was ok.
Atleast you don't have to reinstall every driver in Windows each time you've ran Windows update
Good luck figuring out how to get your modem driver or network driver from Windows Update.
My point was that changes in the OS (even if they may be in the kernel I assume) from software update do not break your drivers. But since Linux is a moving target they may very well do.
I know but I assumed Vista was so large it required a DVD.
Regarding the drivers my point was that there are no issues with Windows as long as the hardware was older than the release and had drivers on the CDs/DVDs, and the same is obviously true for the Linux kernel/modules.
But with new drivers both systems may run into issues, I don't know if Windows can load drivers immediately but just restart anyway. My mac seem to restart every now and then after application installation in most cases probably because it was "easier" to start things up that way.. If not I have no fucking idea why one need to restart so often. Linux can load the modules but it has been my impression that so much change around within the kernel all the time that you can't trust that things will actually work. Which may not be the case with Solaris since Sun think before they do something.
For a long time was Debian Potato while unstable but I've used Gentoo for a half year or something such since then and then tried Ubuntu, Yoper and ArchLinux but well, it has been short adventures.
Use OS X now but everything isn't green over there either:D
Why on earth would you buy an iPhone to run Android on it?
(I'm not saying "use OS X it's much better", I wonder why one would consider Apple hardware if Android is the choice. It's like buying a Macbook for Windows or a Mac Pro for Linux (Yeah I know plenty of reta... err.. casual users do that.))
... I can keep on ignoring the iPhone and wait until I can get an Android phone internationally such as the Kogan one.
Sure Android don't look nearly as polished but atleast if offers potential, can be hacked and tweaked with less issues and will likely offer me a better phone than the one I bought two years from now..
Apple seem to do decent user interface guidelines but that's kind of it. I could have said applications but most of them is so very limited I won't.
Mostly because the problem is still there, you just don't notice it. And also because if there was 50.000 drivers available would all of them be available this way? (Ok, maybe they would..)
In the case of AdaCore it sounds like they get hired for doing the changes, do them and whatever company rolls their own private version which isn't distributed so no need to share the code.
It would be another story if AdaCore made their own versions and then sold / distributed them. But in this case it's really Boeing "doing the work" (though hiring skilled professionals in the area.)
With a fresh partition he meant on a single clean 100% disk coverage partition before installation of the OS. As in not one partition for each OS. I know it looked weird but..
Which has also been said over at dapreview or if it was anythingbutipod. But good work as usual from the Slashdot crowd trying to diss Microsoft even if not appropriate. Bla bla co-developed with Toshiba bla bla.
Was it even? I thought they just took Toshibas platform for their first players? I may be wrong there thought.
Anyway not completely Microsofts fault that the supplied SDK/code/whatever for the platform used had bugs.
The "solution" may be a little lame but I wouldn't lame Microsoft for this to actually happen.
And you're still moderated 0 fÃr some weird reason, maybe people is busy moderating "haha" posts +5 funny.
Oh, sorry guys, I forgot that positive on a Microsoft product = flamebait. Who cares that it's true that plenty of 360 titles looks better, my post must have been flamebait anyway...
But the retard which says that 360 cpu is sooo shitty get moderated interesting even though plenty of titles would prove him wrong.
Slashdot Mirror

Little I hope, the girl who wants to mate with me has to be really retarded and I don't want that to affect our kids :D
kill -9?
The Macintosh and the OS as separate parts or something else?
Personally I don't give a shit anything not computers from Apple, and even in the case of mac vs OS I would obviously had prefered a split.
You stick it in, and ... boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!

No shiet you don't understand my point when you don't even read the part you quote. AdaCore != NeoOffice.
And I did look at the NeoOffice page and as I understood everything they wanted donation and nothing else, and sold beta-access to new versions.

Actually I like all the "lacks" of Android except the user interface part, but I'm sure it will improve, it's the first version damnit ..

Is kmod-nvidia an rpm package for Fedora in it's repositories? Because then it's not that valid, sure it's done automatically but whatever.
I don't remember but if I remember correctly this was less of an issue in FreeBSD or Solaris or something =P, probably Solaris.
With a fresh partition he meant on a single clean 100% disk coverage partition before installation of the OS. As in not one partition for each OS. I know it looked weird but ..
No need to if your Windows DVD happen to have all drivers either I guess, or atleast not many times.
Do you still have to rebuild/reinstall modules for Linux for each version of the kernel? That's always awesome ..
Atleast you don't have to reinstall every driver in Windows each time you've ran Windows update ...
And before you moderate me flamebait, be sure to understand that it's NOT needed for all other oses.
You write that as if it was a bad thing.

Great work moderators!
To bad for you that plenty of 360 games look BETTER ..
And tri-core PPC isn't that shitty, atleast no so shitty that 7 SPEs has to be much better.
... and DDR 3 is much faster to, higher cas latency in clock cycles but not in time and much shorter time / bit.
