The rendering in the higher res is handled by hardware on the next gen systems (360 + PS3). There is a performance hit on the xbox currently, but the 360 won't have that problem. There should be NO excuse to not support HD on a system like the 360.
I can see where they're coming from: selfish greed. Scientists that fudge results give a bad name to science and do damage to society, a terrible crime IMO, all in the sake of notoriety, success, or even money.
This 'branch' of Jews make up most of Europe and North America. Bascially, they're the 'white' Jews, which is probably how you think of us in most cases.
While there are Sephardic Jews in North America, they are much smaller in numbers compared to Ashkenazi. If you look at the Holocaust, 99% of those Jews persecuted were Ashkenazi.
If the SNES emulator can get to full speed, do not expect the GBA. Just from experience on the PC, the GBA emulators required at least a P2 500 Mhz (if I remember correctly) and the SNES emualtors required a P100.
Although, this may be because the SNES emulators were highly optimized and were partly done in assembly.
the desktop needs to support the hardware the user chooses to use
I would also say that the hardware manufacturer should support the desktop OS that their users choose as well. It is NOT the responsibility of the OS developers to make 3d drivers when it is in fact IMPOSSIBLE to make them. They have made a pretty decent 2D driver, but that's because they have the specs for that part of the video card. ATI is the only company that can make 3d drivers for any OS for their cards, until they release more specs. (Tinfoil hat theory:) I wonder how much money MS pays ATI to not make good drivers for Linux?
It IS possible to make high quality and easy to install (relatively speaking) binary 3d drivers for linux. The Nvidia drivers kick ass, and they install by running a script (the drivers are IN the script, neat). Although, you need to close X, and then change one line in your xorg.conf file.
In SUSE Linux, you just need to run the online update, it gives you the option to fetch the nvidia driver (no ati driver), now when you choose your video card in the SUSE configuration program (YaST) it will choose the 3d driver. It can't get easier, it's easier than Windows!
I wish more distros would give you the option to download binary drivers for both ATI and Nvidia. I believe Ubuntu and Gentoo also make it REALLY easy to install the nvidia and ati drivers.
Having multiple cores isn't a problem. Even one of those cores is much faster than the xbox's processor. The objective isn't to make the old xbox games run faster. The problem remains the instruction sets. The GPU instructions are probably harder to emulate properly than the CPU instructions.
A recompile would almost certainly resolve issues with the CPU instruction sets, but I bet most games use special NVIDIA instructions that do not exist on ATI hardware. That could cause lots of graphical anomolies.
Don't forget H20, hundreds die from overdosing (or 'drowning') on this abundant but dangerous substance. You might even have some in your home! You children may be drinking it RIGHT NOW!
How will any recipient know that they receive a pad packet if that bad packet was designed to have the same hash as the originating packet? That's the whole idea of this news I believe.
Hey, we're (here on slashdot) all an 'expert' friend to someone. I'm pretty sure most of us would recommend an AMD chip. I had to practically beg my girlfriend's dad to save money by recommending an AMD. His reasoning that he uses his computer for business, so he needed the reliability of Intel. I give UP!

Do people still play EQ? I thought EQ players would have moved onto EQ II at least.
I personally stopped going to EB because they started to remove the discs from their cases, and put them in a drawer behind the cash.
When I put down $70+tax for a new game, I don't expect it to be opened already.
Dude, he lives in Canada! We just steal the ice from the penguins when they're not looking!
(Note, I live in Ottawa and it hit 35 C over the weekend, and no, there are no penguins here)

What's so dangerous about lead jewelry?
It's just jewelry!
4GB too big? Tell that to all the xbox and DVDR pirates out there.

If it was only made opensource recently, how was it released for the Xbox Media Center a couple months back?
My LCD watch lasts longer than a month.
Maybe rechargeable batteries don't hold charges for long, but lithium or alkaline batteries can hold there charge for a very long time.
Who needs a rechargable battery when your computer can run for months at a time?
Let me know when the apache.org website is cracked. That would be the FOSS equivalent to this incident IMO

That sig is also dumb because the quote is an absolute. So does that mean Obi-wan is a Sith?

For contra at least.

Wow, so we'll finally have a use for TFTP afterall!
What you are trying to say is that passing the Turing test provides sufficient, but not necessary, proof of intelligence.

KDE fans might prefer Quanta. It's usually included in your distro's kdewebdev package. Might as well try both!
