It's more or less reliving an era than a teaching tool. However, like most things it's all up to you on how you want to use it. Some folks want to no only learn how to make games, but to see how they were made back then. And to be honest, this system is a bit more powerful than something out of 70's. Just vist the home page and snoop around a bit, I can think easily of some old school snes/genesis games that could be remade on that.
I hear you, soldering can be the most fustrating thing to do when trying to assemble electronics... not to mention buring one's self too lol!

All the more reason why I wish that the distro's agree to use apt-get w/ RPM/Deb/build support. It w ould be intresting to see a end all be all software installation tool.

I have no idea how to install this when it's not in a debian package, anyone care to tell me how to do it ?
I'm not concerned. First off, if anything, China pushing hard to become reigonal/world power. To do that they need to compete with the United States on multiple fields.
My concern now is if the United States can compete with China. This is a country that is aiming to put us in our "place". That is, not leting the US get away with it's current phase of overbearance. Hell people that I know are scared we are turning into a stagnat empire, instead of the republic that we are suposed to be.
If "free" market practices are what you believe in, the US must stop diddlying around and start competeing.
Yes I read the RTFA, Yes it allows to play other formats, but will the quality versus space used be the same ? Will it even be simular ? I'm not an expert at compression techniques and/or standards. If you know something I don't (by the way that you put it, sounds like you do) please do inform us.
Think of all the equipment now that uses medium sized ferite mags... replace them with plastic: The best things could mean cheaper HDD, speakers, small motors etc.
This is a good thing.
I can't help to think that this is incredably short sighted by said companies. They go through all that trouble to create a new format, and then dictate that the compression method used is propriatary, and currently non-standard. It's not about Microsoft(!?), this is about clear and common sence: If you use a propiertary format, don't you think that the owner will charge some kind of royality fee for the useage ? This could only make this more costly, and less attractive to future users of this. Clearly this is akin to shooting one's self in the foot, let's not even get started with OSS trying to keep up on this format too...
I agree, but I also want to remedy this, (I am trying to learn C just to create games). I would PAY AN ARTIST, someone good, someone that no one knows, (think deviant art) to do art work for my game. Pay them something like one grand for the whole job. See if it that turns some heads...
What do you mean ?! This is a serious problem! Information technology is the best gift that the state (city) can give to the people... I would love it if say, honolulu had the balls to do something like this.
Rather the best thing that could happen is that turner broadcasting creates a seperrate anime channel all by it's self. There is certainly enough material, it just need to be translated, and signed for.
Well my mother enjoys the comedy/serious type of anime, me on the had like to pick up whatever depending on that day's meal, you know - if I want something light and tasty: there's always Dragonball, Cheasy: Pokemon (esp. Pikachu, the cheasiest of them all), and for the main course, something heavy like evangelion or raxphexion(sp?).
Oh of course one is feeling randy, H tentical porn is great for me and the mrs.

Does it run linux ? BSD ? Plan 9 ? Is it compatiable with the above ?

I'll BUY that G3 Notebook off of you.
Of course one could drive a large truck bomb to m$ and co and do the same thing.

I was under the impression that turner owned the cartoon network, but I could be wrong.
You wanna switch ? I work at dennys' as a cook, I'd rather be tech support.
