UT2004, Far Cry, upcoming titles such as STALKER, and a 64bit Half-Life 2 is being thrown around as well. Sounds good enough for me.
That's too bad... that you don't have an AMD64.
Still there is no way that the Xbox sold 50 million units in 18 months; I would be surprised if it went past 20 million (total) in 18 months. Sony has probably sold a bit more because of the slimmer version of the PS2.
What, you don't smell it? It's the smell of one of Blizzard's bullshit expansions. They're going to pull the game off the shelf, fix this problem, and resell the game at for around $35 for the so called expansion pack with weapons that look the same with different names and a attributes. Yep. Blizzard for ya.
That's because they know our market is stupid enough to buy a MMORPG for $50 even after it costs $15 a month to play. You have to love the idiots in the American population; screwing it over for the rest of us!
Because Blizzard delivered something so crappy as Battle.net for Diablo 2; that's why we're all skeptical. If you remember Battle.net in it's prime you can remember sometimes waiting long periods of time to connect to a realm. The only problem now is that you're paying $50 and $15 per month on top of that; they should be maintaining these servers better than Diablo 2.
With all that money that everyone is shelling out ($15 a month is a wee bit more than the rest of the [older] MMORPGs) they should be buying more servers + more bandwidth. They should have enough server capacity to run at 80-90% load; at all times. I don't have the numbers, but with 88 servers that's probably around ~8,000 - 9,000 people per server at all times.
We better start now, before this law is passed, and begin to move Silicon Valley to somewhere outside of the Terminator's jurisdiction. I'm thinking maybe Hawaii; water on all four sides, great waves, great weather, and we have the women.
Of course; there's always New Jersey. As long as you stay away from Camden, you'll be alright. Jersey sounds better; I wouldn't need to move very far.
HTML takes a wee bit of time to learn; they were probably so much consumed in their programming of Google that they didn't care about the interface. This often happens; which is why most programmers are not artists. I can not draw because I simply do not think in an artistic way like that. That's me though.
Bram worked at Valve for a bit to refine the protocol that was used to distribut everything. It seems they didn't want to go the BitTorrent approach embedded within Steam (which would have been a brilliant idea).
More like God took a shit; and we're what's on the toilet paper. We're slowly getting flushed into his septic tank while he's going back to get some more tequila and mexican food.
As is most religion; which is less of a fact than evolution. Because at least some points of evolution can be proven; religion on the other hand is all but a bunch of speculation.
But it can't be proven either; therefore it is not a fact. What is left for it to be then? Either a theory or a simple lie; I'll let you choose, I'm choosing the latter. A lie created by man, to control other men. Sounds a lot like a medieval form of government.
Because The South traditionally has a problem with adhering to the rules of seperation of church and state. This is a blatent knock at this; you may just be too religious to see that.
If this sticker was allowed to stay on books, I would want to see one similar (right next to it) on all textbooks that said: The Bible is only a book, written by man. That's exactly what it is; and it's talking about nothing religious either. But it's making you think it; just like subliminal messages which are illegal.
Google: The most important program that runs on a computer: the operatign system ("OS") performs basic tasks such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers.
Sure seems like an OS to me; a basic one at that, but still an OS.
Yeah; because everything on that website is wrong. It seems that even if his information is negative that it still turned out to be true. Doesn't that mean something? Oh; that's right; Apple Zealots - my bad.
Seriously though; if someone is going to feed you information you have the right to do what you wish to it. If Microsoft was in this position this website would be all over it; screaming about how a they are going after the little guy. But when Apple comes into the picture, they get some kind of negative force-field aura that dispells all the bad (and true) information about them.
Cool and Hip? You mean they attempted to be a Microsoft and failed? Now they are attempting once again and they are pissed off that someone leaked information about their upcoming products. The iPod is a over-priced cash-cow; anyone could have seen ahead of time that they are going to milk it for as much as they can get out of it. It's basically their only product that competes at the top of the food chain.
Definately mod this parent up; I would if I had the points. He brings a great point to the table that is aways swept under the carpet because of the bullshit explained above. If we really want a true community; shit needs to change not be kept away.
How about you fix the configuration instead of blabbing on about how you're too much of an idiot to do so? Seriously; most of the problems with Windows harbor from people not knowing how to properly maintence their computers.
This machine hasn't been; nor has it needed to be rebooted in a few weeks. I've only sustained one BSoD and it was becuase of a the wrong printer driver.
How many times have you seen the Dreamcast crash? How many times has your Playstation crashed? How many times has your Xbox crashed? I've *never* seen my Xbox crash, my Playstation has done it several times.
On these embedded Linux devices are we going to need to recompile the kernel each time there is an update to the device?
Who knows? It probably dumps a lot of data; could be dumping classes directly to disk. All Xboxes have hard-drives maybe they're just taking advantage of that fact? I guess the only games that wouldn't would be the cross-platform ones that have all the same (hopefully) saving formats. They must manage their savefiles better.
I've never actually tried this; but I know that the Xbox controllers are USB - does this mean that the memory cards are USB flash drives? If that's so; someone should have came up with a nice little plug in port for my 1GB USB flash drive. In fact... I'm going to go look right now:p.

I believe he meant the story sucks; game looks great. Classic id/FPS game (Classic; not all).
I also like how you doubt that you even play for an hour.
For more than an hour at a time. Anywhere where I'm going to be playing it for more than an hour at a time will have somewhere I can charge it. If I can spend $35 more to get another battery just in case it runs out while I'm playing it on the road; then it would be worth it.
Bandwidth is also not expensive; not *that* expensive. They are making hoards of cash off the iPods and money off the music itself. Are you sure that part of that 99-cents isn't going towards bandwidth? I would bet that's 5 cents after everything is said and done.
That still doesn't stray from the fact that if they allowed support for other digital music players that they would make *more* money. They are purposely not allowing support for either the players (via a alternative method/format of downloading a song) or allowing their codec/format to be licensed.

Microsoft Windows XP.
It creates its own bugs and reports them back via that nice little "Send Bug Report" form. Innovation. Just wait until Longhorn.
Yeah; I get that whiff.
