Oh please don't , we don't need another possibly GTA related death for the politicans to go off on another rant . On the other hand... I have already pre-order this game so i can play in the car whilst not driving
Oh yes the codec thing hahah , half way through a move in MG:acid where i had used a rather devistating card which gives time to move out the way , Half way through my move "BEEEP BEEP" I was like ARGH screwed , as the conversation ended my turn ran over and i got basicaly nuked. Simmilar things hapend in MG:S whilst i was about to stealthy pop a cap in some-one "BEEP BEEP", Yes that is rather annoying heh
MG:Ac!d really got an unfair bashing in most of the mainstream online games mags. I've been sitting playing it for the last few weeks on my psp and think its great. I most definantly look forward to picking up a sequal asthere just arn't that many tactical board game/combat cards out (plenty of just combat card style). Its was just a breath of fresh air to have something with a slightly more origional slant than your yug-i-ohs or Magic-the gatherings. thankfully i never picked up metal gear 3 yet as i had an incling they would do something like this and it annoyed me a great deal when it happend with MGS:2 . Its good to know they are not listening to the bad(as in the review was) reviews for MG: acid as most of the reader reviews were good for it(the reason i decided to get it).
Oh, brother. In the olden days, O'Gara would have been given a medal for generating readership. But in today's world of the so easily offended, she's apparently let go instead, and things calm down as the hissy fit subsides.
In the good old days she would of been fired on the spot for unethical behaviour , i think he is confusing the good old days with the 1980s.
So Dvorak has seen another chance to jump in the lime light and play the under-dog and stir up some controversy by calling all of us who called for O'gara to be fired "lunatics" (not just those who issued death threats , who are quite likely a bit mad)
Don't buy into this , he is just trying to kick up his readership .
It shouldnt , the pipin failed for three main reasons
Too exensive
Not enough software/games
It was ahead of its time and poorly marketed
The playstation 3 on the other hand is going to be about the same price as the other major consoles , will have a wide selections of games and is very much of its time
I do agree though the controler is rather simmilar , though the ps3 controler is just an eveloution from the frist playstation controlers
I belive it was released by bandi it just got drowned by the price and the fact it was a bit ahead of its time (look at consoles now , offering simmilar multi media features)
I wouldnt really see those as flops you know , apple may not be the number 1 but they are highly profitable and have a very solid market.
People who avoid apple for silly reasons like that are missing out on a great set of hardware and software, I dont buy hardware because of marketing.
I buy my hardware based on quality and the software it runs. I have an imac from 5 years ago that still runs soundly using ubuntu ppc (its actualy still ok for os x if i had wanted to run os x on it ) The main atractions for me are os x , the power consumption of apple hardware, The ability to run all the software i require and cost compared to quality/realiability and service. Simple as that.
The people avoiding it because of snobbery are guilty of the same thing themselves really.
unfortunatly i agree , C took the crown and C based languages are here to stay. Pascal was slaughterd in the iso standard ( though still a very beutifull language) Its the language i cut my teeth on before moving to C and i have alot of respect for it. I don't think it would be imposible to resurect as pascal tends to be very freindly to new developers as it is very strict so errors are easy to discover. it just needs a buzz application to attract people towards it (note that in germany it is still used as a teaching language , though it tends to be windows specific coding which is unfortunate)
I may just be sufforing from a case of nostaliga , but i do enjoy pascal coding. too many languages now see freeform as an advantage when it can promote alot of bad habbits for the new codder, though it does allow for better structure of codding when your used to your language
debugging , pascal really strongly promotes clean codding . I can generaly pick a piece of pascal code and understand it very quickly as opposed to c or c++ which is more free form ( i enjoy to code more in C but i much preferreading others code in pascal)
I always enjoyed debuggin pascal(enjoyment compared to debugging other code) because it naturaly promotes clean codding which is why to this day in germany it is used as a teaching language. Its good to have freepascal now supporting so many system as most of my personal system are now powerpc based. Pascal often takes alot of slack for being a toy language or a mear teaching language but it is certainly more than that and can be used to achive great results. Personly most of my compiled programing is done in C though i would definantly prefer pascal from a debuging stand point , the support just hasn't been there for the systems i use untill now. Great news though and i wish the freepascal team all the best
Star craft ghost may actualy get released some time this centuary. I may be mistaken but hasn't this been expected since 2001. I understand it switched developers last year , i just hope it dosn't go daikatana on us
I was persuaded blackdowns jvm was gnu , perhaps i picked up the wrong end of the stick somewhere. http://rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/j2se1.4-blackdown-source.html?hl=com&cbn=0:J:0:: there seems to be a source rpm for it. i cant see it on the site itself , perhaps i am confusing two things though I appoligise for any disinformation if i was mistaken .
the problem i belive was that OO.org was origionaly star office (star office still being around and being the comercial version of OO.org basicaly now)and the code base was heavily tied to java already.Sun had decided to open the projects to get some input from the oss world in exchange for an open source office program. So it is only natural that they would be still using alot of java , not that i agree entierly with the decision to continue to build upon the java elements but just a little background as to why it hapens
ask him politly and then ram a flopyy where the sun dont shine.. seriously though.
Its dependant on your distro , if you use an rpm based distro then go to the sun site and download the RPM/use the self extracting installer,Or use Blackdown or simmilar open source VM implementations if you a GNU hardliner
If you have a debian based distro then you could try with the self extracting installer or use blackdown which i belive is in many many repositorys.

It was hyberbole to exagerate the point .
I was simply saying don't buy at first

In other space time continuum tear news.. ,delayed further
Duke nukem forever : Switches to the quake 9 engine

Add to that the fact that IE for mac has been abandond making MSIE a single platform browser now .
I think i will wait till 2007 to get my next gen consoles and probably get all 3 for around 500 with free games.
Its never a good idea to buy them when they are first out as within 6 months normaly the price will half.
Oh please don't , we don't need another possibly GTA related death for the politicans to go off on another rant ... I have already pre-order this game so i can play in the car whilst not driving
.
On the other hand
Oh yes the codec thing hahah , half way through a move in MG:acid where i had used a rather devistating card which gives time to move out the way , Half way through my move "BEEEP BEEP" I was like ARGH screwed , as the conversation ended my turn ran over and i got basicaly nuked . ,
Simmilar things hapend in MG:S whilst i was about to stealthy pop a cap in some-one "BEEP BEEP"
Yes that is rather annoying heh
What about myst .
MG:S always had a great intricate story line , but you could normaly skip the story if you wished and get down to the stealthy action
MG:Ac!d really got an unfair bashing in most of the mainstream online games mags.

Not that i disagree with part of what he said , just how he said it.
The artical is pure flamebait , its written to intice an argument.
