IIRC, they boot on NFS, since there is no real HDD on the gamecube. And it's more useful that way, since they don't have to burn a mini-DVD backwards every time they make a modification.
What seems more a problem now is color management.:)
95% of IE bugs come for table management (too much nested table and it comes up with unknown error, padding and margin, css incompliances, etc etc)
And still 87% of population uses IE 5/6. So like my roommate told me, developpers know FX is better, but we still have to be compliant with IE. Hopefully with the ad coming this may change (though with the predictions of 10% of market be end of 2005 we might design for IE for still the next decade?).
Table being disabled here, At least we cannot do it on Slashdot... and have goatse spam of a new nature.
It may be only a matter of time before the corporate culture changes from "Do no evil" to "Do what's profitable and hide it if it's evil."
Well, actually, it might be already the case. Gmail reading infos, statistics held on what you're searching on their engine, most people have already complained about the possibility that google might use such information. But as long as they have not announced (or one insider hasn't publicly uncovered) something that was kept shut, we won't know if they do.
You're talking about the corporate culture, but do you have a clear (and certain) idea on what it is? They uncover a new project almost every week since they gone public, that have probably been kept on the table for a while, so it's not too much to assume they still have a lot of paper work done that's waiting to be announced... How long will it takes before one of them is just too much what we do not want?
Another question in that direction one might ask is what is evil and what is not...
While reading your post, I've come with the following quote at the bottom of the page (from Slashdot database):
Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason. -- Oscar Wilde
Thank you slashdot for making your opinion even clearer to me.
Oh and I'd like to hear some logical arguments on that african children statements. I really imagine you have some proofs for backing you, like most well educated slashdot readers do.
Up to now, Windows XP tried to kill many products with "features" (Zip processing, CD burner program, Theme manager and windows decorator,...) and the programs that was doing it (WinZip/..., Nero/EasyCD/..., Windows Blind) are still having good sells.
So I don't think people trusting ZoneLabs and their software, as well as Norton and other products will stop using them. Fidelity to a company when a user trusts it is strong.
Why do I get the idea of getting closer to the Robot series ("I, Robot", mainly) of Asimov?
I hope we'll have laws, like no kill, obedience, etc etc. But not the same Asimov's ones because otherwise the plot of the book (not the movie) will become true and that's one thing I don't want to see...
Who exactly are FUDing? Microsoft will release some code, it's fine, you are "free" to "open" the source, and they let you do it.
The CPL is not as large as GPL (which imho is too far, I prefer the BSD one but that's personnal taste), but it's at least giving code not wanting it back, and for a lifetime. Remember the masm case?
Now, can we develop for the goodness of everyone and use our free, opened mind to just say thank you? Wouldn't it be too professionnal to accept it and check out if it's worth it? If it's not, then live without it...
You're too afraid of being Microsoft pawns to accept the fact that it won't be a booby trap. Giving is giving, and I think it may be worth checking.
Wait a minute... (Hop in discussion)
When you install Windows XP, when creating the admin account, it tells you it shouldn't be the account you would use your computer with it.
When you create a new account, it asks you weither it should be "normal" or "user with power" account. User with power aren't admin, before you flame. They can install and remove programs, but not install services and such. Services can be installed with privileges only if you are admin, etc etc etc. Funnily, you find some stuff in the security doc of Windows, cut/pasted from *x.
When a software become widespread, all of a sudden many users drop standards. Each user you add to a system, each times your system becomes dumber. I personnaly find that for a software with that many code lines, the bugs and holes are still pretty low.
I admit I respect Unix (BSD at home) for security, but Windows is not THAT far behind. You can't blame a system to be dumb when the ones using it are.
I've updated my computer a month ago for the security hole, and magically I don't have any virus problem right now.

Yes...
but the dimension has more to do than the resolution, sincerely. If you have a screen the same size as a GBA but twice the resolution, it won't give any advantages for the type of games that are best to be played. I can't imagine play vice-city over a 3.5" per 2"... no matter what the resolution is.
Worse is, if they have 3D graphics, I wonder what will be the quality of those graphics in small environment. Sprites are ok because you can draw them so that they are easy to see, but if the PSP doesn't include built-in anti-aliasing, then it will be the worst graphics ever seen on a handheld, at least for the first generation games/software.
If it is "true" that Linux has copyrighted material from SCO, could they remove that material or rewrite it so that 2.6.x wouldn't be affected by the licensing system SCO is imposing?
Of course, that would mean that every infringed linux would need an down/up grade and maybe some payments, but couldn't that be a temporary workaround so companies using linux stop being the battleground and that we start talking about the real topic of this case: copyright?
For now, all I see is that SCO claims something over A, SCO wants money from B C and D, B C and D don't want to pay, A claims that SCO is wrong.
Just remove the B, C and D part and now we can work on the real meat...
Isn't it a good proposition?
Are you kidding ? We love the French accent:-) sometimes they use some words we could find funny, but that's it.
Mind you, a french-speaking country in the love-hated europe's continent...
Hehehe:P (Desole roard, mais je la trouvais bonne)
Sincerely, we personnally think it's important for a person who comes to Quebec to speak french (and it's the majority of french quebecers who thinks that), as much as it is important for a person to speak english if he wants something in USA or spanish in Spain (or Russian in Russia, etc etc etc).
If you don't, then there is a chance that the person will understand and answer in english, but (depending on places) it is unlikely since most people don't learn english (and don't want).
But that's changing in places like Quebec and some places where the population is growing "fast". Montreal is the exception though, being the only parts where you may talk in french in a McDo and get answered in english then talk back in french and the person WILL answer in english. Funny:) But most people there are bilingual.
Unversity minority? Naaah... again, you have to go to montreal to get the view.
But hey!, try to find a spanish university in USA;)
