"new in-depth gameplay features such as close quarters combat (CQC)"
Isn't that what MGS2 boasted when it came out? How it had added clode combat options such as the Katana and more detailed hand to hand stuff. It's hard to wade through the random hype and the junk with game releases these days..
I'd love to pick up a PCI Express based motherboard, but still nothing out for my 64 yet.
By the time they get a PCI-E board for the A64, AMD will be using a newer pin number IIRC, therefore making us poor sods to go out and buy a new CPU.:(
However, console game developers have the massive advantage of knowing exactly what specs their target box will come out on, therefore knowing any possible hardware incompatibilities, and not having to worry about minimun specs etc.
with the newer generations becoming more computer smart, the market will swell steadily.
Hehe. Have you seen the new generation? They're becoming much less smart. Besides, they're not intrested in using computers for games. In the general majority of young people computers are used for MSN/Hotmail/Browsing/Whatever. Games are what you buy an XBOX/PS2/Gamecube for..
That's rediculous. How can you plan a computer purchase 6 months in advance? Besides, from what I've seen/heard there will be plenty of new Intel CPUs coming out that will wipe the floor with the current A64s. Computers just don't work like that, things change just so rapidly you have to make your purchase choices about a week before you go out and buy it.
It will never be as good as Debian or Gentoo. For one reason: portage/apt. The ability to pick a package (let's say for example, GNOME) and have it download and compile it and all it's dependancies from one command (apt-get install gnome, not sure how portage works) makes these two distros easily the best of the bunch. The fact that while Debian is something I don't classify as a newbie os can be so easy to use shows that it's far ahead of the rest. Fedora's just a joke. Shiny, but ultimately a joke.
Get your kid a computer, but tell him he can only use it if he can install Linux from scratch on it and can't get any help. That'll shut 'em up for hours.:)

MSN Search Roundup
·
· Score: 1, Interesting
Everyone knows about the old put: "answer to life the universe and everything" into Google and get 42 in Google calculator, as seen here.
Well the new MSN search has the _exact_ same thing shown here.
In my opinion, that's a pathetic rip off of a good Google joke. Micrsoft doesn't have a true sense of humor (or at least I've never seen evidence of it), but Google definitely does, A la the famous Google Moon Base april fools joke etc. All MSN search can hope to be is a glossed over clone of Google, they've been their first, they've found all the cool stuff.
The mozillaZine article has left out which timezone they are reffering to by Tuesday (although I'd assume Pacific time or whatever Americans use). They also left out an aproximate time it will begin also, So, I'm here in Australia wondering when it's going to actually start.
Does anyone have details or have a way to figure out the time for people outside of the US?
It appears Microsoft are intent on owning the rights to just about everything. Could it occur that in the future, one day M$oft could own the rights to anything you do in their programs? It's quite scary when you think about it. One day, a computer company could own everything, have the legal rights to everything without any liabilites, and maybe even pull us into a seudo-orwell society. Scary, but is it possible?

they'll tell you exactly where to go!
Isn't that Microsoft's job? No... wait they ask you. My bad.
Oh no. We've slashdotted MilitaryPhtos.net!

Come on guys! Play nice with the other kids for once. (mainly because I didn't get to see the cool Russian space station.

But Bonzi buddy talked to me! He was my only friend. :(

And the internet was a place where people got along in harmony and respected people's opinions. Yeah... those were the days..

But, that's my two cents (including GST)

Whoops. Sorry about that. I typed that thing in a rush to get the story on /. I'll proofread next time. =)
I use my P166 cpu as a back scratcher, and it's fan as one on the side of my monitor to cool me down.
Karma be damned. I got first post. w00t.
Repent! For I have been once again smited by ye powerfull Karma god! Why people so unkind?
1. In Soviet Russia, a beowulf cluster of insensative clods welcomes YOU as their overlord! IN JAPAN!

But, does it run on linux?
In completely unrelated news, I was told by a friend of mine to say: LINUX RULES! MICROSOFT SUCKS! So that I'd get good moderation *hint*
Does anyone have details or have a way to figure out the time for people outside of the US?
Flame bait indeed. I don't even know how to respond to that o.0
Where are the 1950's style hovercrafts? THEY PROMISED US HOVERCRAFTS! *whimper*
Err. those are default WIndows ones.
I'm not sure if it was there yesterday, but the news was on Wikipedia's main page [wikipedia.org]. I noticed a few hours ago.
Where do you suppose "we" are?
