Exactly, over here anything lower than 10mbps full duplex have sucked since year 2000 than Bredbandsbolaget showed up, to bad the government messed up and let the market forces with ADSL and cable build over net instead of a state built infrastructure rented by ISPs which provided the actually traffic and end hardware. xDSL is shit and always will be, they should just have invested those 50.000.000.000 SEK to get fiber "to everyone" (as many as have electricity) and be done with it.
Since year 2000 Bredbandsbolaget have raised their prices for 10/10mbps from 200 sek to 320 sek, but lately upgraded the speed to 100/10 mbps.
Anyway, roads, telephony, railroads (well, until some idiot thought it was a good idea to sell SJ) and similair have always been public, why not Internet access? Then we could have skipped this shitty aerial digital broadcast technology and killed of the old telephone network completely.
You mean those sites which can't be easily navigated, doesn't let you open images instantly and in the way you want, download the video clips and show them later, has sound and takes forever to load? Yeah, those are great...
Very good points, however instead of moving the menu to all Windows I prefer the Amiga MagicMenu way.
In AmigaOS the menu was always at the top of the screen and only showed when you right clicked and you selected something by raising the right mouse button, BUT with MagicMenu you also got the whole menu as a right click popup menu where you hade your mouse pointer, so if you are at the wrong screen just right click anywhere in the application window and there you have your menu as a popup menu seen in say afterstep, windowmaker or whatever. Very convenient and it doesn't use any space at all.
Vista not worth using over XP? I doubt everyone see that as a fact.
Maybe Apple didn't had the option to go with BeOS, or could. But it sure sounds like something which could be nice, I'd rather have a new modern multimedia OS than some multimedia layer over "unix".
There are guides for making your own ".mac" webserver with apache in freebsd, just google for it, if you for whatever reason doesn't want to use freebsd it's probably very easy to change os aswell. Just put your mail and jabber server on it aswell and you're good to go:)
I would prefer it in OS X if closing the last window killed the application and then I could just minimize itunes if I wanted to, I know that shows the window in the dock but I guess they would had to redo that somehow.
lol, bubble WRAP plastic memory would be the shit! Just break the bubbles for all zeros, for each memory update just replace the sheet of bubble wrap and break all the appropriate bubbles again:D
Isn't metroid rather good already? I guess from your comment it's not made by Miyamoto thought. How would you say Halo and Metroid compare then? I have only played Metroid.
I _HATE_ split screen multiplayer on PAL, to bad the Wii doesn't have HD, or a good multiplayer-over-Internet-setup, I _HATE_ the friendcodes on my DS, I have no friendcodes added, I just wanna play, with someone, let me!
DS Lite: 285,123, up 29,152 (11.39%) Wii: 101,320, up 1,202 (1.17%) PSP: 35,172, up 1,312 (3.87%) PS2: 14,815, up 2,231 (17.73%) PS3: 12,974, up 183 (1.43%) Xbox 360: 3,205, up 43 (1.36%) Gamecube: 394, up 227 (135.93%) Game Boy Micro: 340, up 290 (46.03%) GBA SP: 302, up 193 (38.99%) DS Phat: 69, up 23 (25.00%) GBA: 11, up 11 (N/A)
So if Wii sports comes with every remote back and 85.000 was bought for 100.000 Wiis, then yes.
285.000 DS vs 35.000 PSP, ownage? Cool that God of War or whatever it's called (the huge titles for PS2) would be released on PSP thought.
Well, the problem when is only that the third parties makes games WHICH SUCK, to bad for them.
If they made better games you would consider buying them instead of super paper mario? Right? But now you think super paper mario is a better title and more worthy of your money? How is that a problem?
I guess that's why the non-Nintendo titles on their charts are so low down, on ALL platforms.
Yoshi and Mario rules, and you know it, but everyone is free to imagine that they are only for kids, their loss, not mine;D, guess they can play Counter strike instead...
Nintendos problem with 3rd parties was that the royalties/licenses/whatever for publishing a game for their platform was high, and with the N64 more expensive due to cartridges instead of CDs.
I have no idea if that have changed, but for the DS it worked good for them since the carts where much faster than UMD (oh, and they doesn't fall out..;D)
Another thing I find interesting between Nintendo vs Sega is how great Mario have aged (Mario world, yoshis island, mario 64, paper mario,..) compared to Segas Sonic (hey, all Sonic games suck!?! How come? Sonic would be more fun in a monkey ball bubble than any modern sonic game.)
I can't understand why they haven't killed Sonic of already, they can't make anything good with him anyway, either the game is new, modern and suck, or it's the same old and therefor suck.
Twilight princess is/was a gamecube game and have only got new controls for the Wii, the graphics is the same as on the Gamecube so it's not the perfect candidate for telling how good graphics the Wii can generate. Thought yes, PAL suck. Anyway a Zelda game made for the Wii would probably look a little bit better.
I'm still upset that Nintendo made Super Paper Mario a Wii-title instead of Gamecube one, since it's "almost 2D" performance doesn't matter at all and it would probably run just as well on the Gamecube, and the Wii can play Gamecube games anyway. Guess they thought that Wii-people wouldn't buy Gamecube games or complain that it was for the Gamecube and therefor switched target, but it still suck.
I will only get the Wii when it's much cheaper and the real big Nintendo titles are out for it. Thought I would prefer if Nintendo got a HD version out now when they know the concept worked and they have got some money for it.
What is wrong with prefering it if the Wii supported higher resolutions aswell? I've been disappointed with the no-HD on it since it was made known by average people.
Playing vertical split screen on PAL sucked 10 years ago, it sucks just as much today.
I still know it exist, and actually use it, but overall here in Sweden it's very dead and almost everyone have switched to MSN, probably because of hotmail, webcams and young girls showing themself...
I hate that it have happened, not because I thought ICQ was great, I always used IRC for my IM usages back in the days anyway, but because ICQ had offline messages and WORK without a lot of bla bla could not send and disconnects and shit. Also of course because they where first and it's not made by Microsoft. Can't see why people had to change.
Anyway in the USA I think AIM is very popular and I play wc3 with a few russians and it seems they all use ICQ, so it's far from dead.
I have mostly msn, then icq and then jabber contacts on my list, thought I often remove lots of msn people since I want to remove the account totally;D
But of course if you DO use those shared libraries it's not as easy as just removing the directory longer since it will break other apps...
This could easily be fixed by doing it the amiga way thought, just let each app live in/opt/vim or similair as you did, and also have their etc, lib and so on, but if you then prefer to use shared libraries just copy them to say/shared/lib and configurations to/shared/etc and so on. And then an application is run just try to link/read from it's own lib/etc/whatever and if there are no files/doesn't work look in/shared instead.
Then you aren't depending on another applications directory, since noone will remove anything from/shared (on the amiga there was no reason to, I copied plenty of shit to libs: and it was like 15MB anyway so who cares, also old library versions actually COULD be replaced with new ones, and it always worked, so if you copied a file over with dopus it would say bla bla version is older, so then choose no to copy it, or newer, and you copied it over. I hate that newer library versions aren't backwards compatible in various open source/unix projects.
Always worked nice in AmigaOS so why not. Copy it to your system partition if you want to or don't, in any case it will work. If you ever had to do anything it was an assing (say assign firefox: dh1:apps/firefox) for applications not hardware drive aware which looked for their device name.
It doesn't require amd64 instructions, but yes, SSE3 is only emulated on SSE2 cpus, not SSE. With the old kernel just a few of the SSE3 instructions was emulated, I don't know about the new one, atleast it can run quicktime and itunes 7.
Ohwell, I had moderated the guy above with +5 insightful for saying it would be sooo hard to switch to AMD as overrated but I have to answer on this one.
OS X is compiled for SSE3 but the reason it "doesn't work" is because Apple doesn't want it to work, what makes it not work is because they uses power saving features only available on the Intel cpus (easily fixed) and that they have encrypted various files with a key in.. uhm.. whatever that drm-shit is called. Anyway you can get a hacked version and install that one, see osx86 wiki or so, so no, there are no problem with running OS X on amd hardware.
Slashdot Mirror
Thought when I played Warcraft III - TFT yesterday it made only up 1.5% of the games on bnet, the day before that it was 3%...
So for some reason Starcraft is much more popular, so something must be better with it.

No ;D
Made his native language isn't english, idiot.
Who knows, maybe he even couldn't care less about how to write things correct in the language of retards.

Fuck flash.
Yeah, $100 DVD+receiver+speaker configurations with $550 worth of projector outfit sure beats the cinema! On mars?
