When we first got a Super Nintendo, it was actually for my dad -- he had hinted that it might be a good gift for me, it being the hot new system, and my mother assumed he was trying to be subtle and failing. So he played for a bit. Super Mario World he liked, but I think once we got to Super Metroid, he decided that it was too much of a time drain for him to get good at it.
I've been wondering for years whether this would be feasible, but my idea was to thread each OS to a different processor. That said, I've never known assembly and have no idea whether I'm being painfully naive here.
Microsoft thinks open source will freeze innovation? Since when the hell does Microsoft care about innovation? Name two major Microsoft products that weren't stolen, and I'll be surprised.
One of the big Windows-users things is that Macs must be wimpy because you don't have to wrestle with your computer in order to get it to work. Why shouldn't setting up your computer be made easy to do and appealing to look at?
Armagetron. Get a LAN party going with 10 or 15 friends -- it's crazy! The only thing it lacks is powerups, but it's old-school gaming with new-school looks, so who cares? Be prepared to run out of spare time, though.
Is it just me, or is every one of these 'predictions' easily guessable simply by doing some basic research? There will be a Halo 3? I never could have guessed!

Of course, you can (in the Mac OS) just kill off the Finder and get back most of the processing time that it eats up in window management.
I'd think any Mac user worth their gaming salt would have one. I'm using an 8 button mouse myself.

Why should an algebraic solution necessarily be an exact solution?
I don't think a single one of us who's read the book thought differently when they saw this article.

Very funny. Why don't you go play your XBox, or something?

There is, but it involves buying a Mac. I personally haven't installed a Microsoft product (that I know of) since Word about 7 years ago.
By momentum, you mean inertia, right?
