It is in the article and post but lots of people were assuming it WAS a typo so thats why I pointed it out. I even made sure it had not been pointed out before I posted. Bleh, there is nothing more for me to say on this subject.
Will you two stop being such jerks..... I was trying to point something out and be helpful. I was the first one to point out what "spim" stands for and I get labeled "redundant"? How is that redundant? Geeze........ All I ask is that when you moderate please use a LITTLE thought.......=/
Its going to be hard avoiding all the sprite flicker and slowdown that plagues the NES in a game like GTA 3 which has so many moving sprites......=/ It can be done though (as is demonstrated in Smash TV on the NES).
Blegh, Yahoo needs to focus on making their search engine on par with Googles before trying to compete with them in the mobile arena. I see no reason why anyone would use Yahoo to search....=/
I am going to be trick or treating on Halloween not playing games. I am uh, a little old for it but I am planning on selling all the candy on eBay to make huge profits. Yeeeeeeep.
I wonder if something like the seti project results in a super computer even faster then this? Millions of desktops linked together could be. Something like that is probably not counted though (although I still consider it a supercomputer myself).
The thing is, the ink cartridges did not really use "copy protection", except at a very basic level. I doubt it was very hard to "hack" it. The main problem I have with these chips is they can make the cartridges "expire". But this can be gotten around by editing an INI file before printing using the cartridge (so the date can't be written to the cartridges chip).
The main thing that has been holding online distribution back is lack of broadband. But now since over 50 percent of the population (at least in the USA) has broadband its starting to catch on. I think that in 10 years you will probably not even buy software in stores.
I think the bandwidth requirments would have been to high (having to send the positions of all the enemies and everything to the other Xbox). The way to fix this is to have both Xbox's run the full game simulation and only send controller input data to each other. They must not have time to implement that though.
The official stats are that IE has 95 percent of the browser market currently. I don't really see that changing much. Firefox is a great browser, but I don't think its going to catch on with the average guy. The average joe just wants something that works, and Firefox is not as compatible with as many websites as IE. Firefox is still more secure but the security of IE has improved greatly since SP2, so thats not as much of an issue anymore. I also disagree that Firefox is faster, I have seen tests and IE is slightly faster overall (not enough to matter really). Anyway, I just don't see Firefox taking over as long as IE is included with Windows.
I would say the Xbox or PS2 but those cost 150. The Gamecube, however, only costs 100 and I read some guys were trying to get Linux running on it a year ago. So I have proved Ballmer wrong, MWHAHAHA.
Interesting idea, although I don't think the mainstream average joe will bother with sifting through clues on a website for hours. Of course it could work like video cards. The main purpose of high end ATI video cards for example, is to get high end computer users to buy them, then brag about the company to average joe's so they to will want an ATI card. The average joe will not buy a high end card though. This tie in with the show works the same way. The geeks will spend hours looking for clues and via word of mouth, will help make the show more popular.
