  1. Re:May I be the first to say... on Giant Rabbits To Feed North Korea · · Score: 1

    Likening the United States to Soviet Russia is such a laughable comparison

    Well, you are right if you mean places like NY. But, Guantanamo is also part of USA just like secret CIA prisons for torturing "terrorists" around the globe. Those places are not much different to North Korea or Soviet Union when it comes to human rights, IMO.

  11. Who needs photo-realistic Games? on Digital Replicas May Change Games and Film · · Score: 1

    As seen in the case of film, improving technology of film camera and sound systems means nothing to quality of film (it doesn't improve films, it doesn't degrade films). After a few months/years of photo-realistic-games-shock-therapy we will all get back to unrealistic Mario worlds. I don't think that graphic performance is limiting factor (any more) for todays games quality

    Except that Google could see for very long time this coming and had enough cash to prepare response. Lets see it unrolled (Linux distro?/media+game downloading channel?/web office?/all of these?). One thing is certain: Google will wait with response as long as they own web-advertizing, no metter what yahoo's/MS _plans_ are.

  23. Re:Why? on Intel Unveils PC for Developing Nations · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sending food and medicine doesn't work. Why? Because we are able/want to send much _less_ food/medicine/water then it is needed. Reason: Sending 10% of your money (that would be enough) for food in Africa will not win you any elections anywhere. In case this is true (it is) we should keep with plan B (building education there so that they can feed themselves). If you are growing apples Africa, it is _big_ difference if you can use cell phone and sell your products without going 20 miles away or simply negotiate activities with your family elsewhere. Cell phones will have huge impact on productivity of people in Africa just like it had anywhere else. I am not sure about _computers_ however. Anyway, "bring them food instead of cell phones/computers" attitude equals to "do nothing" in practice. Nobody will bring food to Africa even if we could. Fact proved by history.

  24. Re:For all you retro farts on Gaming Now and 20 Years Ago · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Main difference: Today's gaming _industry_ is based on marketing and technical qualities (graphics, music). In old days, it was gameplay. If Elite is released today, noone would notice, because it had crapy graphics and no music (On my ZX). Yet quite few peole spent _years_ playing it. My take is that industry killed gameplay. 2 programmers + 3 Artists good, 20 programmers + 30 artists + whole lot of other people involved, bad.

  25. Re:Apple? on MS Announces Open XML Formats Developer Group · · Score: 1

    Apple is involved because of applications like Pages and Keynote that use an XML-based format and provide interoperability with many other 3rd party formats, including Microsoft Word.

    There are organizations, like OOo, that provide interoperability with MS Offices formats, without kissing MS asses in "Open" group.
