Why doesn't Crossover spend more time with other games that are more inovative, and fun. Cedega != Crossover. They develop their own products.
Also, why are they testing cedega with a game that has a linux port. That just seems silly.
This seems like a never ending cycle of catering to attention deficient children. Western culture is so much more media driven, than ever before, that attention spans are dwindling. There is a reason we didn't need jazz up science 100 years ago to get people interested. That is because science is interesting. If we start catering to an inability of focusing and building desires by yourself, we are more hurting the children then helping. They will get to a point where they expect everyone and everything to cater to them, especially if they show a lack of interest about something. It just seems like a bad idea. It almost seems like dropping computers altogether, and getting back to basics in a way that forces them to focus would be of utmost benefit. The only downside is the lack of information sharing that the internet brings, simulation capabilities that computers offer, and disability services that computers give.
These games probably didn't cost that much to make. It's a lot easier to say that without proof. I would agree thy cost less to develop, in certain respects, to their next gen cousins, but that is not to say that Nintendo didn't spend more time marketing, researching, testing, etc. It just means they didn't spend as much time developing hd content, and porting it to multiple systems. This says nothing about the total cost of a project.
In the same way that a Computer Science text book's information is freely strewn about the internet, so who needs them? The book teaches fundamentals, and the building blocks of CSS, where most examples and tutorials are aimed at getting you to be able to create content as quickly as possible. I can copy programming examples from a website, and even read their reasoning behind it, but I would not assume, for the most part, that they have the experience or authority to properly convey the information to me, the same way that someone who has taken the time to write a technically oriented book would. Basically you are getting experience and wisdom from the book as well as information, and not necessarily so with most online tutorials.
I purchased the previous version, and it was truly a clear and concise introduction and mastery of CSS. Mastery in the sense of understanding how CSS works, not in mastery of CSS Cookbook type "fixes". It was much better to learn the fundamentals of CSS before trying to understand why and how the hacks work the way they do. I still keep and use the book as a reference at my desk at work.
No, Tamarin is essentially getting Flash's action script engine, whichis EMCA Script 3.0 (I think), and this meaning that Firefox's javascript engine will be able to be replaced (overhauled) with the onen from Flash. The action script engine in flash is much faster and more robust than the one in Firefox currently.
All I can say is that this is stupid. Nintendo is doing their job, and people are taking things to the extreme. If I were to run my car at 120mph (because it says I can on my speedometer), I should not expect standard behavior of my vehicle. My Corolla isn't made to go that fast, even if things seem to point to otherwise.
Didn't the original NES come with Super Mario Brothers/Duckhunt? Maybe Nintendo realized how much that attracted new comers, and realizes its a good move. It makes someone feel like they are buying something worthwhile. It feels weird to own a console, and have yet to buy a game. You always want something to play, and Nintend knows that.
Maybe people shouldn't be playing video games for several hours? People don't sit and play sports all day long (to an extent), they get tired, fatigue is natural. Playing Halo for 8 hours isn't natural. And I don't know how it will lose precision, as it is akin to the light gun. Point and shoot, you don't have to drag the mouse, you just aim and fire. Its like saying you shouldn't use guns in the real world, because they are less precise than a mouse. Nintendo is taking it back to reality, in an innovative way, and I for one applaud them.
Actually trusted computing is not soley based on user data, but goes all the way down to the bios. Programmable ram, and bios updates prove as sources of issues for Trusted Computing. Trusted computing works on building upon verification of the previous levels. It works through the post, the bootloader, etc, all the way up to the Operating System, as the last level. So it is similar in that if one area is compromised, the other areas are not taken down, they are kept safe.
Isn't this similar, in idea, to the Trusted Computing movement. It doesn't compartamentalize, but it does ensure integrity at all levels, so if one area is compromised, the nothing else is given the ability to run. That might be a better move, than the idea of compartamentalizing the kernel, as too many parts are interconnected. If my memory handler fails, or if my disk can't read, I have a serious problem, that sinks the ship, no matter what you do.
Anti trust is one of my favorite movies, but something really cool about the way they did the code in the movie, was that they actually tied real code output to the actor's key presses. So while the actors knew nothing of *nix code or programming, you could look at the output and be impressed that it wasn't the lame commands of "Open door", or "Kill slow white guy". Movies are getting smarter, because the public is getting smarter.
Does anyone find it weird that upon googling Nintendo and Wii, you don't get much at all, and googling wii by itself returns almost nothing? I wonder if Nintendo is keeping it on a low profile for a reason. Adding even more mystery to their 3 letter 'masterpiece'.
People can't be that moronic. Sco isn't even near close to winning, or so atleast the educated folks at slashdot know. I have a feeling it might be M$ pushing anti-linux proganda through 'Liscenses' in which its more publicity than fear of having an almost bankrupt dellusional company 'sue' you for illegally using 'their' product.
Not only the install, but honestly having to compile your own kernel, just makes things work better. Everything about Gentoo is right, you know whats going in, and you know whats coming out. I don't run lsmod and see about 20 modules just floating there, like I did with mandrake, I know whats going on, I pick the modules that will be there. Its not just about access, its about actually using a pc, after years of submitting to MS's craptacular tendecies of hiding everything and sticking you with the bill, its liberating to actually know what module does what, and what program is running what service, etc. That is the true power of linux.
If you can get the console resolution high enough, and utilize extended character encodings, and sit, just back from your computer a little ways, the quality of the aa video vs. an actual video isn't that bad. Which means that if you end up doing games in console, with a hi-res framebuffer, you could actually have some games that may contend with opengl. Who knows, but it looks promising.
Well what Steam allows is, once the game is gold to be released immediately, bypassing the production time, and distribution. And if VU has anything to do with it, they could push it back farther than anyone else would want. This has been drawn out long enough, and gamers are definately getting impatient. Valve wouldn't necessarily be harmed, but IMHO VU would benefit from this, relieving some of the stress off of them (negative publicity, if any were to arise from the extended release dates...).
I know there are already types of compression that take the most common letters of a document, and then builds a binary dictionary off of it, to create the most efficient way of storing the data. Perhaps this database could be used, as a static dictionary, and compressing documents could be even better, though the db queries might slow it down.
Like honestly, I understand keeping with the original, but in retrospect if you really wanted the true triology, you would pull out your VHS tapes, and watch it into oblivion. When you put in a dvd that is low-quality, poor sound, yeah the novelty will be pretty cool, and the story carries it, but it would get old fast. In comparison to everything we have now, the late 1970's were not known for their technological feats. And while I would rather him not add the extra scenes to the movie, the fact that he remastered the audio, and is hidef'ing the video is a plus. Basically its either original and crappy, or hidef sweetness and alterations.
I wonder if it would be possible to somehow route the Fire & Rescue radio channels through voip, because that was a large deterrent in broadband over powerlines, because of the interference. The interference between the powerlines and the Fire/Police radios. I know that opens a good deal of security issues, but it could be a possible alternative, rather than to just shut it all down?
I honestly don't think that the cost will have much of an effect on the success of this project. I mean, IT managers willingly pay $xxx to M$ for so much, anything remotely less than that is always a good deal. And then again, most people are apprehensive to the word free. Normally associating it with lower quality, hidden costs, etc. Honestly they could have charged $50 a licesnse, and it would probably increase its use. People like to pay for things they rely on, its just wierd.
I'm currently taking a course at my school, for essentially doing computations, but only up to a certain accuracy (estimation with precision). We basically build algorithms, that are normally simple enough to follow, and then just repeat the process until the desired precision is reached. There are multiple ways to do estimation. Like for square roots, you can actually used Fixed Point Iteration(x = g(x)), where g(x) = (x+x/n)/2, where n is the integer of the square root. Just continue that process for about 5 times, and the results are amazing.

for Office 2007 to come out. I wonder if MS will let this plugin be compatible with 2007 or if they will let Sun work it out for themselves.
