Back in the 8-bit days, Nintendo was *nasty* to third-party developers. Basically, if you made Famicom (NES) games, you could not make Sega Mark III (Master System) games. I think Namco was the first company to publically rebel against them - and that hurt them a lot. Also, third-parties were allowed to release a very small number of games per year; to work around such limitations, they created divisions, like Ultra Games (Konami) and LJN (Acclaim).
But it's been so long, they're nice now, and everybody forgave them. Especially because Sony is worse.
I once saw a demo for the (then) latest version of CorelDRAW; it crashed in the end. Come to think about it, that's good enough: usually I can't run CorelDraw for ten minutes without a crash. And no, that's not one single troubled machine, it was like that with any machine in my university's computer labs.
We decided to cut back on our fatty missionary intake and went vegetarian altogether - although there certainly was a time I would have eaten you. Young guy like you, not too much muscle... I'd probably marinate you in white wine for forty-five minutes... dip you in a light corn batter... wrap you in banana leaves and bury you in a pit with a hundred hot coals... let you roast overnight. Then I'd serve you on a bed of basmati rice... with a garnish of shitake mushrooms and shallots. Mmmmmmm...
*chuckles* True that. Makes one wonder what's the point of percentages on reviews. I think a star rating, one to five, is more reliable - ironically, for being less exact.
Propeller Arena: Aviation Battle Championship. Sega's last great game for the Dreamcast, cancelled because a certain level somewhat resembled the 9/11 attacks. It was later leaked - and let me tell you, it kicks ass!

A staff that actually knows games, you say? And possibly one that likes games? And is possibly, heaven forbid, honest about it? I know a certain publisher (you all know the one) that will not like this idea...
"No, ma'am, this football game is not very good. It's the same dumb game from last year, only with updated player names. If you want a really good game for your child, try something original! We have [[obscure japanese shmup name here]], it's excellent."
In the late 1980s, Xenix was, according to Samuel J. Leffler et al. in The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating System (1989), "probably the most widespread version of the UNIX operating system, according to the number of machines on which it runs" (p. 7).
Ironically, most Windows' rivals now are Unix-like. Brings a "what if?" to mind...
I'm not sure if that Rea guy is troll, flamebait, or just an idiot. Ikaruga, "nothing special"? It is just the best shooter ever! If you don't believe me, believe Maddox!
Displaying a null and valueless digit with nothing preceeding it seems redundant. If a previous version was 2.39, this version would still be titled 2.4 not 2.40.
N64 still has the best selection of 4-player games hands-down.
I'm not very familiar with the N64, but I suppose Dreamcast may have a better 4-player lineup:
AeroWings ~ Armada ~ Boku No Tennis Jinsei (JP) ~ Bomberman Online ~ Caesars Palace 2000 ~ Championship Surfer ~ Chu Chu Rocket ~ Cool Herders ~ Dead or Alive 2 ~ ECW Anarchy Rulz ~ ECW Revolution ~ ESPN International Track and Field ~ ESPN NBA 2Night ~ Fur Fighters ~ Gauntlet Legends ~ Giga Wing 2 ~ Golf Shiyouyo (JP) ~ Golf Shiyouyo 2 (JP) ~ Inhabitants ~ Le Mans 24h ~ Looney Tunes Space Race ~ Magforce Racing ~ Marvel Vs Capcom ~ Maximum Pool ~ NBA 2k, 2k1, 2k2 ~ NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC ~ Net De Tennis (JP) ~ NFL 2k, 2k1, 2k2 ~ NFL Blitz (2000) ~ NFL Quarterback Club 2000 ~ NFL Quarterback Club 2001 ~ NHL 2k, 2k1, 2k2 ~ Ooga Booga ~ Outtrigger ~ Pen Pen Tricelon ~ Power Stone 2 ~ Project Justice 2000 ~ Propeller Arena: Aviation Battle Championship ~ Quake III Arena ~ Red Dog ~ Re-Volt ~ San Francisco Rush 2049 ~ Sega Worldwide Soccer 2000 ~ Slave Zero ~ Sonic Shuffle ~ South Park Rally ~ South Park: Chef's Luv Shack ~ Spawn: In The Demons Hand ~ Star Wars: Demolition ~ SWWS Euro 2000 Edition ~ Sydney 2000 ~ Tee Off 2000 ~ Toy Commander ~ Toy Racer ~ Treasure Strike (JP) ~ UEFA Dream Soccer ~ UEFA Striker ~ Unreal Tournament ~ Vigilante 8: Second Offense ~ Virtua Athlete 2K ~ Virtua Tennis ~ Virtua Tennis 2 ~ V-Rally 2 ~ Wacky Races ~ Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour ~ Worms Armageddon ~ Worms World Party ~ WWF Attitude ~ WWF Royal Rumble
- Mom, what's that big thing inside Superman's pants? - What? Oh... *blushes*...that... that's nothing, dear. Just keep watching the movie, ok?
He finds her reaction strange, but asks nothing else and keeps watching the movie. The other day, however, he asks dad to take him to watch that same movie...
- Dad, what's that big thing inside Superman's pants? - That? Oh, that's just his pee-pee. - I asked mom, and she said it's nothing. Why's that? - Damn... *grins with pride*...I must have spoiled that woman.

OS X is sturdy, but that was on Mac OS 9 - which did not crash a lot, but when it did, crashed hard.

2001, I think. Later he got another camera and tried again - and iDVD crashed on him.
That's not exclusive to Microsoft: Steve Jobs also faced a crash while demonstrating iDVD during a keynote. That was in 2001, I believe.

...happened on the Dreamcast, probably because it was easy and cheap to develop for. I guess it'll happen again with the Nintendo Revolution.
Keep in mind that, unlike SCO, Rambus may actually have a case.
They deserve one of those "lifetime achievement" awards for the Myst series.
Look at Iran... and try to say that again with a straight face.

This leap ahead thing doesn't sound good...
