Does that wireless print server support USB and Parallel? I'm looking for something similar, I hate fishing the damn cables through the back of my entertainment case just to change printers (which happens more often than not, I need to invest in a good laser printer).
Yeah, not if BTX is backed by the industry. As of right now it seems it's not being backed, but who knows. It could be two years before ATX is fully phased out. I myself was waiting to buy a new computer this year, I waited to see if BTX will phase in at the end of the summer. It seems not to be - yet atleast.
I am writing a mud engine right now; it's a base being built for an eventual MMORPG that my team plans on developing. My URL will send you to the engine page.
One of the biggest ripoffs I've ever heard; give me $10,000 and I'll write you a multi-platform MUD engine. I don't see anything different about this engine than SMAUG or DIKU, I wouldn't doubt if this thing was just a DIKU hybrid.
I have been programming MUDs for a good few years, and this is nothing new. There have been MUDs around that have "diseases", "sicknesses", hell, even some had "stds." Nothing new; although most of them didn't advertise it like it was a special gametype or something.
As stated somewhere else in these comments, Full sail has many problems with teaching staff, and other issues that current and previous students have spoken about. If you want some more information on this, then maybe you should go have a look here. Full sail sued the original website site owner (surprise!) because they were losing business when all of the testimonials were nothing but the truth. The fact is, the only good testimonials that were on that website are from Full sail upper staff themselves. I was planning on going to look at Full sail before I saw UAT. I'm not going to be attending this school as soon as I complete some classes at community.
This field of work takes a lot of dedication, perseverance, and determination to get anywhere. Just like any career, it takes work, but with Game design/development you need to be on the top of your class to even be looked at. The best thing these colleges give is the mandatory to leave with at least two created, working, games. Actual work you leave with, this is what development firms look for.
No matter where you go to college, ITT, Full Sail, UAT, GuildHall (which looks interesting, I might attend there after UAT) you need some form of work experience to show to your future employer. I am majoring in Game development at UAT; my degree will be in software engineering - which is where most future programmers might want to look at. If you're serious about game design, you need to be able to do something more than just have an idea you need the want it, breathe it, and have the will to go after it with all of your heart.
For $200 that damn thing is getting bought and hacked up to run as a normal PC. Embedded Windows XP Operating system? One less license for me to buy.
Cheap computer, here I come.
Ah if you consider golf a sport, then this could easily be considered a sport. People practice (in some instances, more than golf) have leagues and matches, and have players. Even some instances, get paid on a regular basis (besides tournament earnings).
You think that's bad? I'm the man you both hired to click on your ads, and I stole thousands of dollars from both of you and opened up my own ad-banner click service.
Dear Comcast,
This in fact, was a home movie created by myself as a spoof on the real movie. One of my children turned on this so called bittorrent and shared the file by accident.
By downloading this file, you are now in infringement of my DMCA copyright on my work. Please remove the file, and all instances of this file off your servers and the "authorized agent" that is claiming it's their work.
I expect a apology from both Comcast, and the "authorized agent" in my mailbox by the end of the week.
A time will come when you can be sued by the RIAA just for speaking about being sued by the RIAA. I love polotics. Until then, download your music for free.
This is why everyone should use software such as piolet (the ads suck, but hey, anon!). Or you could go the whole iTunes route, but I refuse to pay anything to an RIAA organization, much less Apple.
When a iPod becomes affordable; I may consider buying one.
Wouldn't work; remember a thing callex xbox-live.
The only way they could do that is to only allow it on LAN hookup. I'm sure they wouldn't bother doing that anyway either. There are two games that I know of that have been "cross-platform" multiplayer - Quake 3 for the Dreamcast, and Final Fantasy XI on the PS2.
That's why you get everyone in the uni dorms to chip in and start purchasing fat bandwidth pipes. Or maybe Slashdot could start up a Frat around the US:
Slashdot Frat; serving your unmetered, unmonitered, internet bandwidth needs when your college shuts it down.
You see, every college that installs this will just piss off the students in the college. It will eventually prompt someone to write an application (if one isn't already written) to bypass this.
It would really be nice if BFMC takes advantage of the current craze of the BF community and allows for a complete moddable game on the Playstation 2 (of course only if the player's computer has the built in hard-drive).
This would bring a first to the consoles: modification development for a console game. That hard-drive should be used for something, so how about making your mark known and actually allow us to do this?
Desert Combat was such a craze on the BF1942 engine, BFV is great on the PC, why not allow us to make our own modifications? What's the worse that could happen, the modification couldn't work and it crashes the system back to boot up? (well I guess something worse could happen; such as erasing the whole hard-drive or something of the such...).
As long as the stores enforce it and it doesn't fall back on the developers for creating the game - any rating system that follows those guidelines is good for me.
It's not the developer/publisher's job to censor the game for people are cannot see that the game is obviously not for their ten year old kid.
Did you ever notice that you absolutely cannot quit to the title screen once you're in a game? I've tired several ways, the damn exit thing on the menu just exits the menus.

I believe that he said average consumer. The average consumer won't go near a Mac for obvious reasons that don't need to be stated once again.

Just wait until they sue someone with cash and the will to just take this shit to trial.

Or just use a program like Nullsoft's Waste. Encrypted file sharing, gotta love it.
Now all we need is Piolet to encrypt communications and we're golden.
Heh, that's actually a pretty damn good idea ;).

Look how Napster started... at college.
http://www.garagegames.com/ Think Tanks is already a game on the Torque engine.

Japan: Nintendo, Good. Microsoft, bad. USA: Nintendo, bad. Microsoft, evil. Europe: Nintendo, bad. Microsoft, satan. Anyone see a trend here?
