Well the Game Gear had color who knows how long before the Game Boy Color was released (and only just fairly recently with a backlight making it actually visible with the GBA SP)
My Atari Lynx had backlit colour even before the Game Gear, I still have it somwhere. It was a great system, and had it had better marketing, could have done for the handheld market what the NES did for the console market. Unfortunatly, it didn't, and the next hand held I ended up buying was the GBA SP. This weekend I finally bought a DS, it's screen is now about the right size to be able to port Lynx games over. I hope somone does.
I've always defined slashdot as "fun", as it's definately not work, and a good way of wasting time whilst being genuinly educated. I'd classify looking up the weather as work(well I would if I didn't have forecast fox installed), and looking up the actors name, or indeed most other leasure activities would come under "fun".
With Apple having such dominance of the market, will they be able to compete? Afterall, even now every commonplace mp3 player is oten referred to as an iPod, so won't people just think of this as an "Amazon iPod"? Unless they have a few tricks up their sleeve, some people will take this as a cheap copy and want "the real thing (tm)"
Meh, it's my birthday tommorw, so I have a reason to buy one; I don't think I can wait untill May. I'll buy my brother one when it comes out. Honest, it's not for me...
Who'd do that job, you've seen how much flack the/. editors get, if Wikipedia had editors they'd get even more, and aswell as being critisised for typos, dupes & not fact checking they would get accused of pushing various political agendas etc. which would kill Wikipedias NPOV guidelines.
I have a dual boot machine, the only reason for the Windows install games and dreamweaver. I'm happy with Gimp, and almost everything else, I just like the dreamweaver IDE; I never use the wsiwyg aspect of dreamweaver, but I still can't find a FOSS program that competes with it. Maybe it's just a case of sticking with what I'm used to, but I really would like to see Macromedia do a dreamweaver port to Linux.
i sincerly doubt it, everytime I see him make any argument he seems to really believe it. I think that if he convinced himself that black was white, he'd carry on believing it to the grave. Even if we don't get ID cards he'll remain convinced for the need for them. The fanatical force with which he puts his arguments, and the way he seems so exasperated with anyone who disagrees scares me at times.
I just copied and pasted from the site; don't shoot the messenger. Of course I realise that it's an inside lane, middle lane and outside lane, but when many people in this country don't realise it why tell Americans? They'll try and show off this new found knoledge, and promptly be (wrongly) derided as ignorant forigners. =)
Unfortunately yes they do. For people looking at your app (not developers) it's all about style not substance. So if your cometitor has a flashy AJAX interface, and claims that his system is designed in\by He'll do better tthan you, even if your product is just as good.
It's only meant to fit a motorway, as far as I can tell, the site is aimed at americans coming here to Britain. A motorway is the closest thing we have to a freeway, so when an American hears us talking about motorways, the best way to explain is "that it's like a freewy but..".
As I've said in two sibling posts a dual carrageway = a divided highway, hope that helps. Any othe time you don't understan us Brits go here: http://www.effingpot.com/ "The American's guide to speaking British."
Dual carriageway - Divided highway. All have a 70mph speed limit unless indicated (posted) otherwise.
Motorway - Freeway. Very strict rules apply to motorways, only drive faster than 100mph if you are happy to lose your licence (or are very good at haggling!). Always drive in the slow lane, unless overtaking (or risk being arrested). Always enter and exit via slip roads on the left hand side.

Indeed, I'm suprised that the figure who use it for porn^h^h^h^h fun isn't higher.

I was going to buy Myself a DS this weekend, but if this is going to be out in the UK soon, I'll wait, anyone know how long untill we get it here?
I'm still sticking to the common culture reference
Intrestingly, here in the UK, I've never heard people pluralise Lego to Legos, so every time I read the word 'legos' I have to do a double take.
Shouldn't that be intelligent space flight? ;)
Will you introduce a system of editors...
/. editors get, if Wikipedia had editors they'd get even more, and aswell as being critisised for typos, dupes & not fact checking they would get accused of pushing various political agendas etc. which would kill Wikipedias NPOV guidelines.

The Article dosn't explain it clearly either, as far as i can tell, Gizmondo is a company that sells hardware, and Tiger is the parent company.
