Jethro Tull?! Now that would be an interesting stand-on-one-leg kind of game.
How would they do the flute controller? It would not be quite right if you didn't have to blow into it; but it would not be too hygienic if you have to share the controller with others...
"Reverse Rodney King" would be: NOT speeding while drunk, NOT resisting arrest, NOT STRIKING A POLICEMAN IN THE CHEST, thus NOT putting the other policemen in a situation where they had to use force; and of course, the sensationalist media NOT airing just a tiny excerpt of a video, making the cops look bad, rather than show the whole situation.
Spyglass licensed the technology and trademarks from NCSA for producing their own web browser but never used any of the NCSA Mosaic source code. Microsoft licensed Spyglass Mosaic in 1995 for US$2 million, modified it, and renamed it Internet Explorer. After a later auditing dispute, Microsoft paid Spyglass $8 million. The 1995 user guide The HTML Sourcebook: The Complete Guide to HTML, specifically states in a section called Coming Attractions, that Explorer "will be based on the Mosaic program" (p. 331). Versions of Internet Explorer before version 7 stated "Based on NCSA Mosaic" in the About box. Internet Explorer 7 was audited by Microsoft to ensure that it contained no Mosaic code, and thus no longer credits Spyglass or Mosaic.
Because they have again and again been shown as either awfully incompetent or terribly malicious in manufacturing a device that is very relevant to the democratic process.
tl;dr - 'cause those fuckers can't make a voting machine that is any good!
I know what you mean, but I bought a white MacBook a little while ago, before they went nVidia, and was pleasantly surprised when I could play HL 2 with CrossOver Games about as well as I could on my old Athlon 64.
Oh wow, your new machine runs a game as well as your OLD machine did. What a feat!
OK, so HL 2 is probably considered "old" now, too, but you don't need all the sliders to the right to enjoy a game.
Seriously, play HL2 with a good video card and you will find it is a world of difference. And it's not just the eye candy; with Intel video, you get terrible framerates in some parts - for example, most of 'Highway 17' and 'Dark Energy'. This harms gameplay a lot.
Oh, and memo to the music industry: Please start backing and producing music that doesn't suck, k? We're sick to death of the crap you've been turning out lately.
Also: stop with the loudness war. It makes even the best artists sound like shit. Seriously, it makes a CD muffled and flat like an old cassete tape.
Starfox on the SNES. Didn't that have the first in-cartridge hardware for improving performance?
Actually, no.
- Many later games for the Atari 2600 included bank switching hardware. - Perhaps all but the simplest games for the NES used MMCs. - Several early SNES games used DSPs.
Operation Wolf, arguably the first FPS game! All be it a side scroller!
No, a first person shooter would give you full control of the character's movement in a 3D environment. Games that let you control a target reticle, but give you little or no control over your character's moves and the game's scrolling -- such as Operation Wolf, Dynamite Duke, Virtua Cop, Cabal, NAM-1975 -- are shooting gallery games.
because the few resources that government has are being used to fight other more important issues (e.g. drugs, for which the USA has the solution [i.e., decrease the demand you junks]).
Straying from the topic, but actually the solution is LEGALIZE LIGHT DRUGS (such as cannabis), so they can be produced and traded by honest, non-violent entrepreneurs, and certified for quality.
It's not about their crappy products. It's the fact that this "covenant not to sue" is extortion on top of defamation.
"Nice userbase you get there. You know, it seems Linux violates some patents of ours... what patents? Oh, let's not discuss details. Still, wouldn't it be a pity if we had to sue you out of existence?"
If it were up to me, I'd sic all my lawyers on them. That filthy, repulsive, immoral, giant bag of lard, ape-like, chair-throwing, semiliterate SON OF A BITCH Steve Ballmer should be in jail for this bullshit, because this kind of behaviour is criminal.
Because, if it is arcane, it feels archaic. And as an early Mac ad put it: rather than you having to learn how to talk to computers, they taught Mac how to talk to people.

It could be far worse... you could have learned SNKglish.
Not really, at least not directly. Check this:

At last! I don't suppose the mini is anything high-end, but the Intel GMA is pretty much WORTHLESS for gaming.
Too bad it was made by Commodore. How's that joke again... if Commodore ran KFC, they'd advertise it as 'dead warm poultry'.
Ouch. That sounds like a moral contradiction.
Yo dawg I herd you like PCs so we put a PC in yo PC so you can play a PC while u play a PC.
(seriously... virtualization software?)

It looks like a Dualshock ripoff. And why they imitate the WORST controller out there, hell knows why...
Actually, no.

It's really terrible. Not even one shooter!

Bad taste is no crime, lucky you.
I like how the Japanese do it: year/month/day.
That is UK-English, it seems TechRadar is a British site. I agree, it sounds really strange and illogical if you are used to US-English.

Xandros and Novell signed those sick "covenant not to sue" deals with Microsoft.
So I'll sign a covenant not to touch their crap with a barge pole.
Why? In case one goes boom, there are backups.
Taking in account their old games, the Simpsons had a TERRIBLE reputation among video game players.
But what can you do with a command line that you can't do with a Mac + A Better Finder Rename?
