Huh? No they didn't? Your supposed to post anonymously when you make shit up. They've said again and again that they want to be friendly with the developers, and are working hard on getting more than they had with the gamecube. Iwata or Miyamoto or someone made a big deal about how much games cost to develop, and how theyre working to combat that. Did you know alot of companies prototype their games using the gamecube dev kits, and multiplatform titles are usually always developed on the GCN first, because the development tools supposedly are the best of the three? (I would've assumed xbox+visual studio+directx would be the easiest, but I guess not, only for pc->xb ports)
And what about silence? Everything is under wraps right now, Nintendo is controlling how much is said and when, for example at E3 they listed off a lot of developers that were already working on Revolution games, and surprise! Square already has an online FF in development for it.
Wow, you must have aced highschool math buddy. If 11 people go up, theres a possibility of none getting cancer, or all getting cancer, and everywhere inbetween. I really hope you were joking.
Yeah, the amount of radiation in a nuclear plant is ooooh about on par with the sun.
Those suits don't even completly protect from the small nuclear sources on the earth, let alone a whole fucking sun+stars+everything else in the universe. If it was such an easy solution, why do you think people are worried about it?
Incase you weren't joking: No it won't. Anyways the marathon mouse support is shit. Use AlephOne, it works much better, and mouse works great (its the modernized marathon engine, runs on OSX, still plays the old marathon data files)
Dude, calm down. He was joking. I admit I can be an apple fanboy sometimes, but my god enough with the "macs have had right click for the last decade!!11" comments. Yes, everyone knows. No, no one cares and trolls will still troll. The machines still come with one button mice. Honestly, the poster was being a troll, don't feed him.
Their other mice have bluetooth, and I don't want to replace my bluetooth mouse with a wired one, which is 50$, when theres a possibility of a bluetooth one coming out soon . (I want one sooooooooooo bad...)
Notice the line about Opera in the code. Also note the article from a few days (yesterday?) ago about how Opera has stopped using msie as their default UA. As for other things, like users going into about:config in firefox and setting it to display as msie, thats too bad for them. They are >1% of the audience, and serves them right. This doesn't harm them at all, just displays a message at the top of the screen.
More sites should put up warnings when the user agent is msie. It's easy to do on php. Page still loads for IE users, but they get nagged (yay.) It would be cool if Slashdot did it, I assume most of the/. crowd uses FF anyways though. Put this PHP code at the beginning of your , and put the rest of your code after it:
<? if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== false && strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Opera') === false) { ?> <br><br><b>Warning:</b> You are using the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. IE sucks, and therefore you suck.<br> If you want to stop sucking, which is understandable, install <a href="http://www.getfirefox.com/" target="_blank" >Firefox</a>, or get the fuck out.<br><br><br><br><br><br> <? } ?>
Except closed source OSes tend to cost money, I'm guessing the main factor that let this be (and its a real good thing(tm)) is the fact that its running free software, which can be customized to the situation, and is obviously much cheaper than buying the WindowsCE licenses...
I believe thats what the speakers are for, to make a distinct click for each button. I'll be turning that off. I'm not trying to justify every of apple's moves, but do you know what your talking about? I have one of their standard one button wireless mice here, right now, and prettending that im right clicking it feels just right. (even if it doesnt work)
If Nintendo is the new Sega, what are MS and Sony? Nintendo is the only one making profit (Although the other companies have other divisions which are profitable.) From what I remember Sega was having some big loses. Microsoft and Sony and third party developers are dropping support for the other current gen consoles right now too, its not exclusive to the GCN. If you look at the numbers, you'll see that if you compare the drop in Nintendo's profits with their drop in revenue, theres a discrepency. You can see Nintendo is spending MUCH more. However, they don't sell their consoles at a lose, (the gamecube was a few dollars at one point, but mass production should've fixed that by now) therefore it must be R&D on their new console which is eating into their profits.
If you look at Nintendo's lineup for fall-winter, the only really super exciting game for the gcn is zelda, but that alone will sell a hefty amount of gamecubes. Now, with the DS, they have lots of lots of games coming out, alot of which are online enabled. MarioKartDS (online) Metroid Hunters, Animal Crossings (online), nintendogs, a new super mario bros, a new zelda, and a bunch more I'm too bored to list. This is just a seasonal drop, more than usual because of R&D costs. Nintendo is no where near the situation that Sega got themselves into.
You misunderstood the article. The division which handles the Playstation has been constantly in the red, while the profits from Sony's other division give them the money to operate at a loss and still turn a profit overall. The article is saying Sonys overall profits are down, which is worrying because their playstation division is going to go even further in the hole when the ps3 comes out, because of insane manufacturing costs and selling at a loss. What's to keep them afloat?
Haha, more brand recognition than NINTENDO? Where do you live? Do you realize what you just said? When I'm playing my xbox, my mom tells me to get off the nintendo. Not to get off the microsoft, or to get off the sony. 'Nintendo' is another way for saying video games for the non-gamers. 'Microsoft' is a way for them to refer to that damn computer that's always breaking, and 'Sony' is the company that makes the dvd player and tv or something.
Let's compare franchises. Ratchet & Clank, vs... oh lets say Mario. Which is more well known? I can't remember where I saw it, but when little kids (around grade 2) were given images, and asked to name the people in the images, more recognized Mario then George Bush and Jesus. Scary eh? You can say the same for their other franchises: zelda, metroid, pokemon (barf)
Brand recognition is one of the last things Nintendo has over MS and Sony.
The PSP is only 50$ more than the DS in the US. I have NO idea where you got half price. I hate to break it to you, but I think, although price may be a factor, that there might be a little more to it.
http and webbrowsers is not the internet buddy. Notice how the article is called The Future of the Net, not The Future of the Web, or The Future of Neat Little Apps That Run in my Browser Which Runs in my OS. The guy is predicting that the internet will be able to predict routing troubles and work around them, etc etc etc.
This is not possible with the internets current architecture. The Internet hasn't changed at all since it first took off. It's not going to. Either it will be replaced or it will stay the same, and it would be too hard to replace.
Just like we're about due for flying cars and moon bases by now, right?
The internet isn't going to drastically change, it's too much of a (working) mess to just roll out v2.0.9-r11. I happen to like having my OS the way it is, and I'm assuming everyone here on slashdot would rather waste the raw materials it takes to make the cpu's that power our computers than run our OS in Internet Explorer and a Java VM. Heh. I want my 10GHz geforce card, 500THz cpu and 5TB of RAM, my stage 1 installed gentoo, my OSX, and everything else. Crazy predictions of the "future" by some random guy with a keyboard can bite my ass.
You reversed your anology, thats like saying is every unix OSX? The proper question is "is every iPod an mp3 player", to which the answer is "yes". It doesn't matter what the Open Group thinks, they don't get to decide what is unix and what isn't unix.
Slashdot Mirror
Just wait until the xbox 720 comes out

That's why Apple invented the battery meter, and spare rechargable batteries. *Innovation!*
Hehe, and gaming, on a mac? (Although I guess the mouse is Windows compatible, it would just look out of place with a Dell keyboard..)

Just like that damn 1984 macintosh commercial. God knows that didn't sell a single mac.
Windows has a MUCH better TCP/IP stack than BSD, THATS for sure, are you guys retarded or something? :)

Sorry, their overall profits aren't in the hole yet, they've just dropped *alot*

It sounds better as "In Soviet Russia, fuck up shuts YOU", heh I'm kind of liking that. Thanks man.

Miyamoto said the decision was made because your stylus or thumb has to cover part of one screen.

You could say the same thing about windows 9x vs Mac OS.
