Speaking of which, does it have to be so hard? I'm at 1-7 or something there the lake are poisoned and you are supposed to jump over to a cave. That's not that hard, but then comes the box pussle and I can't come anywhere in it. I guess I'm just really stupid, help?:D
I must say I'm not impressed with mario party, but then I don't have anyone to play with;). I don't think super smash bros are that great, but then I don't like fighting games due to all the button combinations. I won't get impressed by animal crossing.
I've tried the DS a little and I would really like to get one, althought when I look at the list of titles I don't see that much I would really play. Castlevania is given, mario ds, mario & luigi 2, new super mario bros, princess peach, advanced wars ds are given of course, and probably the rpgs which doesn't suck whatever those are. Can someone give me a complete list of good titles? Kirby ds are probably fun to... and that yoshi game, althought short;/
That "trauma" game doesn't seem fun, is it really? I've tried wario whatever on the ds, it where booooring and crappy.
(ok, so there are quite a few titles I would like, but I also see so much shit when looking for games. Also a little better 3d chip would have helped makeing the snowboard kids and car games not look so bad, I guess they could even upgrade it but still have it compatible (I only need something which "blurs the polygons").)
Raid 5 haven't got anything to do with it, I where wondering about the RAID10 part with more or less disks. But maybe with 6 disks it's a strip of 3 mirrored disks? In that case yes it's more secure. I thought it where just 3 sets of raid 1 arrays.
"Go SATA with RAID10, at least 4 drives, ideally six or more. With six drives, the likelyhood of having two drives fail before you can replace the first one is somewhat higher than if you're using SCSI, but the likelyhood of that second drive causing you data loss due to a failed array is infinitesimally smaller. It's guaranteed with RAID5, and the chance for RAID10 is inversely proportional to the number of disks in the array. So first the first drive has to fail, then the second drive which fails has to be of the same RAID1 set."
The totalt amount of drives doesn't effect the chances that two drives within the same array will die. Sure it's less likely that both drives in the same array has died when only two drives have died in total, but also since you have more drives there will be a higher chance that they do die. If it's 1/2 chance that one drive dies and 1/4 that both dies at the same time that will still be true even if you have 1000 similair arrays.
(You seem to look at it in a what-if-i-wait-so-long-that-two-drives-might-die-p erspective, but why would you wait so long if you can fix it earlier? So it's more likely a situation where you have to look at how large the risk are that one or more drives in a specific amount of time. And sure with 4 disks it's less likely that 2 dead disks means a broken array than with 2 disks, but the chance that any disk dies are 2 times larger.)
http://www.apple.com/se/macbookpro/ says "Wait no more. MacBook Pro starts at just 26,495 kronor.", but the apple store webpage says 21.295,00 for the cheapest one and 26.495,00 for the more expensive modell, so I guess they just made a small misstake and posted the wrong price. Still more expensive in Sweden but not THAT bad.
For the same price as a 1.66ghz dual core, 512MB, 80GB 5400 rpm, x1600 128MB, 15.4" 1440x900/990 MacBook you can get a 1.66ghz dual core, 2GB, 80GB 7200 rpm, 7800 go 256MB, 17" 1920x1200 dell inspiron 9400 thought.
Are the quality of the later ones really that bad? Awesome specs:)
Oh, and btw, don't feel fooled because of this, remember their advertising for these machines will be just as hyped as they where for any other machine.
But no, the whole computer aren't that great and "2 times (or so..) better gaming performance" which their own benchmark images seemed to tell you wheren't true (they compared the imac with a 3ghz or so dell, but they used difference gfx cards...) (i'm not trying to be exact here, i don't say apple lies, yada yada yada.)
Anyway, the PPC970 are a good cpu, better than an overclocked P3. But in performance the new dual core P-Ms are very likely faster.
MacBook pro starts at $1999 in the US, forex converts this to 15 226,58 SEK. 1 US$ = 7.62 SEK
However as we all know Apple have their own exchange rates, so: 1 Apple$ = 13.25 SEK and the price in Sweden wents up to 26.495 SEK.
(no, I'm not calculating the fact we have 25% vat, but anyway, it sucks to buy apple hardware in Sweden, I could pay 11.300 SEK for a travel to the US and buy it there...)
The american prices of Apples are ok, the Swedish ones are just retarded. Of course I want a mac, but not at any price, especially since I haven't got a work;)
So, shall I buy a Dell (with I can get an extra 30% or so of from) and run Linux/FreeBSD instead? I hate how we are always getting screwed by Apple.
The small screen doesn't make it uncomfortable? How readable are the text? How does images look? Care to take a picture for me while reading a computer book with some text, code examples and images or something? If you don't wanna post the image in this thread feel free to e-mail me at aliquis@link-net.org. Thanks in advance.
Care to suggest a quite cheap PDA which are good for ebookreading? I've been thinking of getting one myself but haven't done so. The cheapest palms use to low resolution I suppose? So what alternatives are there if you want text which are quite easy to read?
For an ebookreader I would say around $100 would be ok if the books are sold at a decent price (say $30 for computer books max), if they are just as expensive as paper books I don't see why I should read them electronically. The $100 might be to much for me aslong as I can't copy (yes, pirate!) books thought. $300-400 for a worse way to read books? No way.
With a PDA atleast I get a decent organiser aswell.
Slashdot Mirror
WMV? How convenient.
Shows for some.
They didn't even think of the chance the same could be true with core due machines running Linux!! :D
"Now I'm a technological nobody."
Don't worry, mac users has always been.

I think it's among the future titles.
Yeah, paper mario looks great, and is quite fun to, althought I think it's a little bit to repetive (chapter 3..)

Well, anyway, why don't you contact nintendo and ask if you can get a new one since you have (had) dead pixels (from the start)?
If it can use flash carts you can quite easily fix that. Just don't know if it turns of itself it you close the lid but I hope not. Does anyone know?
GBA micro + flashcart + 1GB sd/cf card works thought. Quite sexy mp3-player to.
lol :D:D:D:D
Your was way more innovative. I have mod points but I can't use them since I've posted a comment myself =P
1) Make game console
2) ???
3) - profit!
From joystiq comments:
New one:
133.0 x 73.9 x 21.5mm, at 218g.
Old one:
148.7 x 84.7 x 28.9mm, at 275g.
It looks 3 times more sexy, I wonder if it still takes flash cartridges =P
:)
In that case I might get one real soon now

But maybe you mean the same data are also stored on all arrays?
"Go SATA with RAID10, at least 4 drives, ideally six or more.

(don't know there to answer)
;)
I would like to say "just copy the hell out of them and let them die", but I guess that's illegal
These stories are boring, and who cares, I wouldn't pay anyway, laws or not. I'll buy products I want, not that THEY want to sell.

Your PPC970 still owns any x86.
