Actually, the Video Game Console Crash of 84 had alot more to do with the fact that the market for consoles was still in it's infancy and simply became overrun in a glut of titles.
It would be incrediblly hard for the same thing to happen today, as there are magnitudes of order of difference between the demand for games today and the demand for games back then. Nintendo's tactics were most definately needed back then; however, like many things in life, they have out-lived their usefullness or relevancy.
Have you found a way to get content in the new Real 10 codec to work? I've been looking all over for a way to do it in MPC, however Real Alternative doesn't seem to handle it yet.
I would prefer an app that allows me to access the multple, fragmented, and previously incompatable, networks used for P2P access today.
Perhaps you only go for the files that have 2000 sources avalaible to connect to, I don't. Having the ability to use all four networks to grab the same file, and not having to worry that if the file drops off the radar on one of the networks that the entire time spent downloading it is wasted is much more important than worrying about whether the developer 'plays well with others'. I could care less if scared cows are being challenged, frankly each and everyone of the 'core' Gnutella developers have tried to hijack the protcol at least once themselved. I could care less if the current implementation of Bittorrent is less than spetacular. It'll get better. What I care about is interopability. Something Limewire has never had.
Except of course, Limewire only handles one of the many protocols that Sharezilla does. Thus reducing the argument to "don't even bother, you can do 10% of what Sharezilla does with this other bloated Java app."
I think the solution is pretty obvious, give the little runts their own car, locked to follow you. Tada!
Your own convoy. Plus, no more having to smell the barf.
I call double BS, since they later retracted the statement and will NOT be allowing priated copies of the OS to install SP2.
According to ZDNet, Microsoft has reversed its earlier statement somewhat.
People who complain about MS bashing should understand one thing, regardless of what MS does today, they built their empire and maintained their empire on the foundation that getting caught breaking the law is just a cost of doing business. After a history like that, it's hard to beleive that we could be expected to trust them at all.
Please forgive my ignorance, however isn't telling a store it must sell your products at X price or not at all, price fixing? Isn't that illegal?
I can see them demanding more in royalties, and Apple raising the prices to compensate, but out and out saying "you must raise your prices by X or you won't be allowed to sell" seem.... not kosher.
Wasn't one of the big video game console makers caught and spanked for doing that sort of thing?
And just as there is nothing so unfashionable as the last, discarded fashion, there is nothing so wrong as the principles of the most recently defeated opponent. Representational art is only now recovering from the approval of both Hitler and Stalin. [8]
and
[8] A few years ago I worked for a startup whose logo was a solid red circle with a white V in the middle. I really liked this logo. After we'd been using it for a while, I remember thinking, you know, this is a really powerful symbol, a red circle. Red is arguably the most basic color, and the circle the most basic shape. Together they had such visual punch. Why didn't more American companies have a red circle as their logo? Ahh, yes...
Could someone explain to me the reference here? I tried googling for some history on it, but just got a bunch of nude studies....

Given the nature of the internet, it'd more likely be used to allow all the genocidial manics out there dupe people into following their cause.

On the other hand, I currently use eMule. ^_^
You've obviously never searched for P2P on Sourceforge, have you? HINT: Sharezilla won't be lonely.

Is this the one where he runs around on a Segway?

You have to give the installer a flag to force it to install, even though it thinks you shouldn't. Read here to find out how.
