The comparison between 2D classic graphics and modern 3D graphics could be seen as synonymous with the change to impressionistic art after photography came around.
...which is one of the reasons Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is still one of my favorite games. When all the 32-bit consoles were trying to get the most cutting-edge picture possible, games like SOTN were taking the artistic/gameplay route. Without worrying about things like model animation, the developers were free to work on other aspects, such as the soundtrack, physics, color balance, etc.
With all this lawyer talk, it seems nothing is sacred. I'm still waiting for the lawyers to show up once the toddler manages to find a way bash the square peg into the round hole.
I checked out the videos this morning. Anyone else notice the weird frame advance problem that causes the video to go back one frame every few frames? It gets into sync every once in a while for about a second, then goes back out. That was on Windows Media Player 9, the one most likely to play it back properly.
Space agencies in Russia, Europe, Canada and Japan gave unanimous approval to a NASA plan that means the orbiting platform, now about half completed, will never become the beehive of scientific and commercial research once envisaged...
Of course, we all realize that Japan knew about this for twenty years and forgot to tell anybody. I wonder what they know about Bush's trip to Mars.
Well, being in the military, IED is just one of many acronyms that get thrown around. We always hear about UXOs, ECPs, MOPP levels, NBCCD, GVOs, JS-List suits, MXS, LRS, AMXS, 2PamCl, CMSAF, MCPON, AWACS, LMRs, LRMs, AFIs, MOS, AFSC, AOR, TRS, MTF, CJR, NCOIC, CGO, CWDE, BAH, BAS, CSC...
You ever see that piece Andy Rooney did?
(By the way, it stands for improvised explosive device)
Imagine what a troll could do with this sort of power. Giant stone ASCII art of Trollkor and Goatse man. All they need after that is the power to screw up the layout by widening the stones.

We can all troll that Linux still has trouble supporting sound, decent system-wide hardware MIDI beyond KDE's aRTs MIDI (or a really nice software wavetable synth like WinGroove's), more-than-2 channel support for sound, and difficulties playing DVDs and WMV9 systems (which still seems impossible for the video portion even if the WMA2 stream plays), but I think this could be a push for improvements to all of the above.

You can never have enough reviews, right?
rz1715 review.
I believe the 6315 is pretty well linked on this thread, so I'll leave it out.
well, at least we know now which product we ought to not run our web server on.

Oh, did I just fail it? Damn iPaq and its small screen.

The ultimate modification would be getting the iPod take 20 seconds to power on.
RealMedia on an MP3/AAC player?

A discussion where bashing the soft points of OSS doesn't get modded -1 Troll.
I can see the next article: "Understanding the GNAA"
It's simple, they're anti-Dentites!

Holy Jebus flying a helicopter! At least 11 acronyms in this thread so far!
At least it's still a better acronym than MERDE.
Hi all - the ABM, a proposed solution to spam first posted to /.
A spam solution that attempts first posts on Slashdot? I think it failed it.

There's a joke about 24/7 in there somewhere....I just know it
Yeah, but the problem is that only Canadians would celebrate the proposed holiday.

When AT&T will no longer be competing for residential local and standalone long distance customers...
...that's mLife
(Does this make me a troll?)
A space cowboy and a space priest walk into a bar...
...never mind.
They had better built an extra-big server.
If not, I hope they have a novelty jumbo-size fire extinguisher within the premises.
If only I could attach this one to my cell phone...
Sounds like a new gag for Trigger Happy TV: Really loud SMS messages.
Looks like they wasted a whole bunch of effort for nothing. Did they even bother to call up Rick Moranis before trying to make a keyboard big?
Is this like those gigantic fucking calculators and phones with big buttons that are designed for old people?
Computers designed for old people....hmmmm.
Cool! Maybe soon I'll be able to search for a replacement for my Nintendo Power Glove! Oh, wait...
