Oh, I forgot the booktype/story telling kind of games, of which the lawyer games seems the most liked but there are others released/in the works aswell.
(Phoenix Wright: Ace attorny and the follow up, Another Code and the follow up, Hotel Dusk,...)
Also I guess the "non-game titles" should be mentioned, such as the brain training, cooking game, and such, which I don't care about;D
So did you got nothing at all or the DS? If you like: * Old school 2D scrollers (New super mario bros, Yoshis island ds, 2 castlevania titles, megaman zx, princess peach, star-fi,..) * Puzzle games (Kirby, yoshi touch&go, maybe even zookeeper and meteos thought I don't like them that much.) * RPGs (One final fantasy released, two in the works, Children of mana, Zelda) Also various platform games and so on, I doubt it will disappoint you.
The DS is probably NOT the perfect console for people who want to play car games, games which requires analogue input to be good and various fighting games. Also it's not the best choice for people who want flashy 3D graphics with massive lighting effects instead of "hand made pixel bitmaps";)
Sure the Sempron is a budget CPU from AMD, but it's not close to a Celeron from Intel. Also he probably got the 64 bit Sempron, not the 32 bit version which is the budget version of Athlon-XP, I would guess a Sempron64 beats and Athlon-XP.
Fanboy/joke/whatever: The Sempron is more like a Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, but with lower power consumtion of course;/
Didn't even thought about the possibility that during wars people might become even more affraid of them, anyway even the idea of "remote controlling" sharks, cockroaches or whatever is so fucked up. Let them live their lifes and do whatever they want to do with it.
Some idiot moderated me -1 aswell, sure the begining was filled with useless crap but I didn't liked the fact that ALL the comments I read had those retarded laser jokes in them and nothing was on topic.
Uhm, yeah, I'm sure a Vista Aero 3D compatible laptop with vista ultimate + similair software which cames with iLife will be much cheaper than the Apple branded one...
And I don't think it's over-priced, just compare the performance/money amount ofter a new update of any of their hardware and you'll find the price to be very reasonable. The only thing I have against them is crappy system configuration (all MHz and cores but shitty GFX and in some cases TFTs.)

Is it so hard to install it separately then? Or is it the fact that you have to update it manually? Can't you just make you own packages and put up your own server for it? Ever considered running Solaris instead of debian?
Yeah, because as we all know it only depends on the Window manager, not the OS, X, the toolkits or the applications, I'm sure firefox will be so like totally awesome 100% percent kick ass omg speed faster in fluxbox on damn small linux than in kde on fedora.
Imho KDE is the nicest desktop environment for unix, fvwm might be a good alternativ window manager if I ever put in all the effort necesarry to configure it, but I guess I never will.
But of course OS X probably leaves you with a better desktop.
They could do something as easy as USE SOME FUCKING SIMPLE CODE WHICH WORKS. I use Opera 9 and most pages work if not all, and it's the best browser out there being small download and memory footprint, fastest, least security issues (well, lynx and whatnot might have less, but fewer than IE, firefox and Safari.), very portable and the most innovative one.
Shouldn't the two most important things with a webpage be that it's:
1) Informative and contain anything useful at all (That leaves out most of the blogs and myspace.)
2) Actually usable (No browser specific stuff, flash and similair shit and easy to navigate.)
???
Ok, I've read them all so far and it's just BS comments about lasers.
Anyway all I wanted was some serious post to attach my opinion to but since there are none a new post will have to do. And what I wanted to say is that I think this is both wrong and cruel against the animals, they aren't supposed to be drones for humans. Get real robots or put humans into it, but not animals, or even better yet just stop dumping oil, start wars or whatever.
Well, here in Sweden you have to pay some sort of copyright taxes of media bought in Sweden and Taiyo Yuden (and many other brands) are much cheaper from example SVP in england. I can get Taiyo Yuden media there for no more or very little than whatever DVD-R in other webshops.
Another dye I've been told was good was the Ritek G04 and G05 since that worked in the Gamecube, I don't know if Taiyo Yuden does, the reason should be that the discs are more "perfect" than others I suppose, but I read later that they age very fast and the amount of errors can get high even after a few months so it might be a sad choice now or a year later. Anyone tried the Taiyo Yuden discs in Gamecube? I only own a LG gma-4020b 2x DVD-R burner so I'll get a Pioneer DVR-111d or something aswell so if +R discs are better I will get them, but do they work in my Gamecube?
The same store also had TDK discs which was much more scratchproof than others according to the advertisment, I think the price was around twice as much as for the other discs but on the other hand they could handle much more uncare handling with the same amount of errors.
Good for people like me who stores some of their discs on the floor and such;D
I think his point was something like that if the american people have to fear people with AK-47s shooting at them no amount of advanced air crafts or whatever will help them since the people will still be at risk. Sure the air craft is nice vs other air crafts and maybe some ground vehicles and so on but it doesn't help a lot when the enemy hides and... whatever, you figure the rest out:)
I remember an old ad which said that the P4 would give you this and that faster Internet among other things... I thought that was the official version but I googled it and all I can find is stuff such as "The chip is designed for broadband Internet technologies. Compared with a PIII 1GHz chip, Intel claims that the Pentium 4 runs Windows Media 59% faster, Macromedia Flash 22% faster, Java 30% faster, XML 25% faster and 3D visualisation 38% faster." from http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0WVI/is _2000_Nov_20/ai_67337593 so I think the faster Internet ad was from a nation wide store chain called SIBA. In any case, magic!:D
Is rayman really funny? Looks a little simple? Wii sports must become boring after a while, I think I rather play smash football or whatever the name of the gamecube tennis title is and so on because you can make more stuff in them, those with the new controller will be even better thought of course.
On the DS I'm not intrested in the real gimmick games either such as Wario ware DS or whatever it's called and some other titles like that, Yoshi Touch&Go is ok and Kirby rocks thought.
On the Wii I would much rather play Zelda, COD3 and Metroid Prime 3, and Mario Galaxy of course.
But I bought my Gamecube like 13 months ago and still haven't played more than say 50 hours on it and my DS lite 3-4 months ago or so so I have plenty of games I can play anyway, the Wii is expensive and you can't chip it yet so I'll wait.
Anyway I just post because I wanted to say that there are way better and more intresting games than Wii sports and Rayman coming or released for the Wii.
That is what they use internally but then they replace all occurancys of those names with senseless ones to match the spec and therefor make it harder for anyone else to implement;)
Yes he must be since there probably aren't even 99 games for the Mac and if that is true there are waaaaaaaaaaay more than 1 game running in Windows which doesn't run on a Mac.
But the most popular titles such as Quake, Warcraft, WOW, Unreal and C&C runs on Macs, but that is more or less it I think. I don't think for example HF2 does so all CS gamers are lost on Macs.
Thought to me those games are enough I think, HF2 would be fun to.
The reason I haven't switched to Mac yet is that Apple always tend to make shitty hardware and always cheap out on the low end model to force it's buyer to opt for a much more expensive middle or top end model. I wanted to get a Macbook Pro but I'm affraid the 128MB vram will be to little for me using dual screen, leopard with core image + core animation, occasional gaming and if I want to install Vista and run Aero 3D, so I think I'll wait for yet another revision and hope that they will have 256MB vram in all models then, but who knows. The middle model do have 256MB vram but I would be paying around $300 for 7% faster CPU aswell which I have no intrest in at all. Imho pretty retarded to put in the worst/best CPU available and then mediocre GPU, and also to cheap out on the GPU in the low end model when the 256MB version can cost what? Max $40 more?
I think the TPM key in Macs are only used to validate that it's a Mac which you try to install the OS to and not to check that you have actually bought the OS or whatever. That and also the TPM key of Macs are known and the whole stuff have been cracked.
But FAT is shit and can't handle large files such as DVD images, but you can install Macdrive and then Windows will be able to use HFS+ (Mac OS X filesystem), and this filesystem is conveniently enough supported by Linux aswell so there you have it. Filesharing between Windows and Linux (And OS X if you want to) without using FAT.
Another good alternative is to use a fileserver using NFS or whatever, preferably running Solaris and ZFS.
I've heard this for long but all I can say is that Warcraft III: TFT run like shit using ATIs drivers and Radeon 9200 under cedega compared to XP, this was expected thought. It was much faster using my GeForce 2 GTS which is an older and simplier card, but it was still crappier performance and ugglier look than in XP.
So I'll trust this when someone gives me some proofs, and screenshots.

Modern graphics card? Or doesn't they?
Yeah because we all know it's so much easier to read text on the screen than on dead trees? No?
But he might be partly correct anyway since we have probably made very much of the damage in the last 60 years. But say 100 to be sure.

It also passes Acid2 test, something firefox doesn't do so well and IE 6 totally messes up. Don't expect IE 7 to do any better either.
