Agreed, one of the things I miss from the SNES times is good cooperative same-screen multiplayer games.
That is one of the reasons I loved "Army of Two". Although I would love to see non-FPS coop-multiplayer.
A good example would be the Top-Gear series in the SNES, which allowed you to play a career mode in multiplayer. Whereas current race games (e.g. Mario Kart Wii do not have that option)
Once you (and your co-players) learn to use the features of the game, the multiplayer is actually an advantage.
For example, in the haunted houses, watching at both sides to stop the ghosts.
Or jumping on your partner to reach stuff at higher places.
Or "going bubble" when someone cannot pass certain section. Or "oing bubble" after grabbing a star-coin to avoid dying
I have whined about the lack of good games for Wii, but NSMB is one of the few good ones. Unfortunately it is *very* short. We have already finished and got all the star coins... and that's it.

Geez, I would conform if the PS3 could play PAL DVDs!
There I was, visiting my brother. At his home he has the PS3 with a big LCD screen and whatnot. Unfortunately for me, when I try playing a PAL DVD which I bought in Europe (nope, no NTSC version available at all), the damn thing won't play it. LOL even my Wii can play NTSC/PAL DVDs...
I hope that this crack leads to, as you say, a port of HBMC or any other media player that fixes PS3 broken software.
In case you were unaware, you don't have to upload 3000 copies of a file for 3000 people to be able to download the file.
That means you have not distributed a complete file but just a small amount (10 seconds? 20 seconds?). The distribution of small sections of copyrighted material may fall as fair use no?
OTOH, because you are helping (with the help of other people sharing the same file) someone to illegaly get copyrighted material, you could be prosecuted for *conspiracy* to defraud:P
This is true. The new personas features are butt ugly. Use Stylish (I recommend Gradient iCool for the nice dark black and blue) and the custom/. black with green text mod. It looks like an old CRT.
This made me smile a little. It shows the reason why we (geeks) are *different* from the majority of "normal users".
Normal users find myspace like pages OK, the more sparks and blinks and effects the better. Whereas we find green text in black background great.
I love Green on Black (DarkRoom is a godsend for me). But everytime anyone else has seen my color schemes (I tend to work [program] in Linux using Compiz META+M inverted colors) they think I am crazy or antiquated (green and black has not been in vogue in computers for about 50 years!... even my father used VGA!)
I have a sitting job similar to yours (sitting form 9 to 2 and then from 3 to 6).
My job also requires me to fly a bit. Almost every year I make 12 hour flights. Last year I bought one of those "compression socks" at Charles de Gaulle Airport (15 Euro IIRC) before my long flight.
The compression socks did provide a nice relief during the flight, and according to a bit I have been reading they are good for circulation.
After my flight I thought that they may be useful for my everyday office work. I have been using them since the beginning of the year and they seem nice.
buy windows 7 and save all the pain of using WINE or ReactOS, or ReactOS on WINE. the amount of time you save in trying to get things work (wow! my apps just work without any hacks!) will very quickly pay for the cost of the windows license
It amazes my how low has the Slashdot crowd been dissolved with people thinking among these lines. I mean, although my/. ID is not that low and I do not consider myself a "complete geek" (after all, I have a wife and I cope fine with the majority of my coworkers which are women), but I still find the ReactOS software an exciting and interesting challenge.
I would be interested to know what is the reason for people with an ID higher than 1000000 to join Slashdot. I mean, if you read Slashdot's slogan is "news for nerds, stuff that matters".
THIS is news for nerds, it is related to computers and in the "free, open source software world" having a Libre version of Windows is indeed a good thing.
However, looking at most comments from this thread in particular and other similar Slashdot threads in general, the discussion just centers in arguing whether it is something right or wrong... Compare that to previous (2003) stories. When did the AOL crowd invaded Slashdot?
And, does anyone knows of a Slashdot-like newsfeed/forum which is not invaded by this way of thinking?
I have Exciter Truck and Mario Kart. They are OK but I am starving a bit for realism or driving real car models. NFS Nitro just does not cut it.
Talkign about NFS Nitro, can someone tell me if changing the car configuraiton improves the car? The car personalization interface is horrible and I haven't realized how to know if the new thing I put to my car makes it better or worst (I do not know a lot about cars:(
Looking around I have yet to see a single friend of mine with a paid app... Just saying.
Where I am from, nobody pays for Microsoft/Adobe/EA/Sony and others' software. Being it games or applications. Geez, the *first* time I saw a registered version of WinRar (not registered through a crack that is) was at my new job where I am now at (out of Mexico that is).
Agreed, I have played quite a lot of game sso far*, and no game has blown me as much as Army Of Two (the first one) for the PS3.
Wii games are just *meh*. The ones that are part of a multiplatform release are always terrible. For example take Need4Speed Nitro, they had to do a different version from NFS Shift...
* Games I've played (I might miss one or two now): Wii Sports Red Steel, Zelda Twilight Princess, Excite Bike, Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, Yourself Fitness, Wii Play, Rayman Rabing Rabbids TV, Super Monkey Ball Banana, HeatSeeker, Resident Evil 4 - Wii Edition -, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, Worms A space Oddity, Call of Duty: World at War, Wii Sports Resort, Grand Slam Tennis, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, World of Goo , Super Smash Bros Brawl, New Super Mario Bros, Super Paper Mario, Swords and Soldiers, Mario Kart Wii, Deadly Creatures, Need for Speed Nitro,
A boy goes to his dad and tells him "Dad, when I grow up I want to be a fucking loser".
The father surprised and a bit angry asks his son "Why would you want to be that?"
To what the kid answers: "Well, every time we are on the street, if you see a guy with a great car you say 'what a fucking loser'. When we see a guy with to girls you say 'look at that fucking loser' and last time we went to the supermarket and you fought with the manager you said 'I hope that fucking loser rots in hell' after they kicked you out of the place".
It turns out that doing business in a country without the rule of law entails some serious business risks.
I am pretty sure there *are* laws in China. The thing is, your company should have read carefully such laws *before* starting doing business in such a country.
It is like some American starting a business in Venezuela right now... you must know what are the current rules in that country.

If you're going to rehash old franchises, this game is the way to do it.
Now I hope they'll give us a high-resolution, all-new, top-down Zelda game in the caliber of Link to the Past and Link's Awakening.
Ahh! those two Zelda games, where the real shit.
Unlike the Twilight Princess... I have *really* started playing it for about 6 times... and I always get bored after the first hour.
It is a fucking game, I am supposed to enjoy my time while playing it.
Haha

Maybe it is possible to disable that via a Grasemonkey script?

Yeah, I'd really miss Netbeans, it's definitely my favourite IDE after Visual Studio on any platform and my first choice for Java development also.
No immediate window, no fatjar, no STL containers debug... still a way to eclipse IBM's offering ;)
Disclaimer, I use netbeans *daily* (~5 hours a day) @ work and think it is a good IDE, but I think Eclipse is more feature complete (and faster!)
I am using Windows XP SP3 right now and the POC code provided does not work.

The Terrorists have won and brought your society to their knees.
Sorry.

Yup, pretty crappy. Could you recommend a decent Wii racing game? (ala Gran Turismo or classic NFS?)

Yeah, similarly as Sony CEO denied the existence of a PS3 Slim before they unveiled it.
That reminds me of the following joke:

Or something like that...
does Alt+PrtSc allow you to manually select any *section* of screen ?
didn't think so..
LOL
just WIN+R pbrush[ENTER] CTRL+V
And use your mouse to select any section of the screen.
TROLL.
We all know that
1. Linux does not freeze.
2. It is not necessary to reboot a Linux system for anything.
Get him boys!
If you want a lot of excitement take a look at Mexican political meetings; specially the chambers of deputies or congress meetings.
There have been several fights (including punches, kicks and some Mexican wrestling haha). It is indeed funny and sad at the same time =o)

Shit, Chinnese population could maybe make massive parallel brute force attacks to any password no mattering its length.
Yeah, NSFW language for me would be akin to the GNAA page that shouted "hey look I am watching gay porn!!" when you opened it.
