I'm wondering how it will end up looking on LCDs whose native resolution is higher than the resolution that Doom suggests. If you don't run an LCD at it's native resolution, it tends to look very block and blurry, which could make the image even worse....
Looks like I'll have to buy a 6800 if I want to play this game
Don't worry, Japan won't be alone. The US is trying to remove all unflattering facts from our history books as well. Most history books seem to make our founding fathers look like gods. They were brilliant men, but they also had flaws. I often thought that if people only knew what a womanizer Benjamin Franklin was, then they would have been much more lenient with Clinton. Instead, people acted like this was the first time any leader of this nation had ever had an affair, and that made him unfit to lead.
Combine that with a general ignorance of history, and it is dangerous.

2 words: Gilded age. Look it up sometime and come back to me. Grover Cleveland's Laissez-faire government was great, for about a few thousand people. For everyone else it sucked. You can scream your ideology as loud as you please, and call anything where the government intervenes socialism, but guess what, we tried your way, and it failed miserably. Calvin Coolidge tried it, and it failed miserably. Yes, I do think that the free market is a good idea, and that often government sometimes needs to keep it in check.
Read about history sometimes, you'll find a common theme: when the government intervenes too much, disaster usually follows. When the government doesn't intervene at all, disaster usually follows.
Why MMORPGs are popular in S. Korea is, traditional stand-alone-game makers (console game makers in Japan and US) are reluctant to release their games in S. Korea because of software piracy. As for software piracy, S. Korea is not at all better than China.
Interestingly, piracy was the only way that South Koreans could experience anything remotely Japanese for a long time. Just this year Japanese cd's were finally allowed to be released legeally in South Korea.
Both are still trying to re-write history. Just this past weekend Koizumi met with Roh to discuss Japanese textbooks. The Japanese try to gloss over their colonization of Korea, and many Koreans try to convince the younger generation that the Japanese never learned their lesson and are still evil and would colonize Korea again if given the chance.
There are some different theories on the name. Notice that the abrreviation for Windows NT, WNT, is one letter "ahead" of VMS(W comes after V, N comes after M, T after S). Something to think about:P
Uh, you are wrong. For the early XBox 2 dev kits, Microsoft has a version of the NT kernel running on a slightly modified G5 system. Not an x86 architecture there.
Heh, my mother got really pissed at me after a poor report card, and literally took the SNES and banged it against the wall repeatedly before throwing it across the room. Still worked perfectly....
Did you actually look at the link(well, I got 2 different varities, one that exploits the IE url bar which I couldn't use and another that didn't)? They ask a LOT of information, not only your account number and whatnot, they got SSN#s, they get your address, your mother's maiden name, I think it even asked me for my employer's info. I filled it in with a lot of bs answers, but it's really scary what you could do with that info. Not just steal the person's money, but steal the person.
Hitler was NOT democratically elected. The nazi's did get a lot seats in the Reichstag, but Hitler used a lot of manipulation and political powerplays to get into power, from the wikipedia article on Hitler's rise to power:
But Hitler did not yet hold the nation in thrall. Hitler's initial election into office and his use of constitutionally enshrined mechanisms to shore up power have led to the myth that his country elected him dictator and that a majority supported his ascent. He was made Chancellor in a legal appointment by President Hindenburg. This was a bit of historical irony, as the mainstream parties had supported Hindenburg as the only viable alternative to Hitler, not realizing that it would be Hindenburg who would bring about the end of the republic.
heh, offtopic but what the hell, I have had to reset my iPod a decent amount due to one track. Dr. Paul Pimseleur's Mandarin Chinese part 1(part 2 plays fine, as do other audiobooks) at a random part in the track and at random intervals after I start playing(you can remember your spot with the iPod) the iPod will skip to the next track, and if you try to go back it will keep skipping. Well, until you try to force it enough and it will lock up my iPod. strange
to the source to Linux, BSD, and Windows(shared source initiative, yay!) They can decide what they want to use, and hell, they even have their own distro of linux.
It's interesting to see this guy say that he knows more about security than the NSA...
For the ones who work on top-secret programs, they pretty much have to. Ever talk to a Lockheed-Martin recruiter? Outside of a few projects you have to have at least a secret clearence to work for them. You always see droves of foriegners getting turned away by them(usually the people who go to every single recruiter without an interest in the company, just an interest in a job)
ebola isn't a very good analogy, maybe HIV is a better one. Even though ebola can spread easier than HIV, the fact that it kills it's host rather quickly means that it doesn't have nearly the number of human nfections that HIV has. A virus that kills it's host off too quickly tends not be able to spread. HIV is a better analogy, it seems to be almost 100% fatal right now, but because it takes so long for symptoms to pop up, people don't realize they have it and spread it to others.
it's worth supporting. However, if you cannot support it, then should you not be able to play it? I don't think so. To the publisher of an out of print game, it is the same whether I download it or pay an inflated price for it to some dude on ebay.
Ow! My battery! Seriously, battery life would royally suck on something like that. The iPod battery is pretty good, but by the time you add in the cell phone, a color screen etc, it's going to drain the battery pretty fast...
This is especially true when you consider that most people who will use Longhorn for DVD playback will be playing back DVDs on a standard pc monitor/laptop. There are some nice high end HD monitors, but for the most part, the monitors today will waste the capability of an HD DVD. It will be hard to tell the difference between a normal DVD and an HD one.
kind of like the difference between animation and live action movies/television. There are certain things you can do in animation by not making the characters concrete. A live action family guy would probably be disturbing, much as the live-action tick is. The charm in those shows was that you were dealing with somewhat abstract beings. The same thing goes for games, for certain games, I just want an abstraction of what is going on, ie 2d, I don't want something that is nitty gritty realism. For others(doom 3!) that works out really well. I think it largely depends on the game itself and what the authors are going for.

But he specifically said not to look at monitors.....oh....you mean the real kind, damn, back to autopr0n then.
about the benefits of speed holes. I put a few in my machine and I am rip roaring ready to go!

Well, both actually. The user owns the hardware, the circuitry etc, but as per the license agreement, Apple owns the firmware.

That I will be able to Duke Nukem Forever with 64 bit processes!
Yay!

So the system does work then?
violence?
Great, this means that Ryan Seacrest will finally be off the air!
That man has probably inspired more rage than any other actor in history.

but my dentist is probably the last person on earth I would want to piss off. Maybe the Canadian music execs are secretly dental masochists....
