Although I am not a PSX2 programmer I remember reading that the API for PS2 has made the individual games programmer more responsible for the transfer of data and control between the various processing units in the PS2 and ensuring that the work done by these units is synchronised. This makes the offloading of the graphics and sound to the relevent chips more difficult, but allows for increased effeciency and custom uses. Sorry can't remember where I read this, so can't provide a link.
From the article:
'Music "hasn't had a new format in 20 years," says DataPlay CEO Steve Volk. "It's time to do something new, something smaller, better and more versatile.'
Of course there was MiniDisc (which I really like) and DCC (which no-one liked at all).
Not on my WinCE handheld. Buy (!) and install caligrapher and you simply tap the box you want to write in and write anywhere on the screen in natural fully joined up handwriting. I can fit about 5-6t words on the screen. As soon as you stop writing (about 1 second) it instantly converts all of the text. Even with really poor handwriting like mine it acheives really good accuracy (>95%). It also includes spell chacking. Pretty good I think.
Here in the UK we have on "mindless" you can't do X whilst driving law. The offence is "Driving Without Due Care And Attention". Basically if the cops see you doing ANYTHING that they feel is effecting your driving you can get done. Recently people have been prosecuted (sucessfully) for offences whilst stationary!
What wireless card are you using on an iBook. I am writing this from an iBook on Airport runing OSX PB. There is a comonally known xml driver file you can put into your system to enable Airport.:)
I'm afraid not. Apple's DVD software makes direct hardware calls and is not supported by clasic. Need to reboot to a real OS9 environment for it to run.:(
No-one seemed to care about this when Apple added these bindings in OS-X. It lets you write non-cross platform apps in more languages. That's OK. Or you can detect if the bindings are available and use them as well as providing work arounds if they aren't giving you cross platform apps which integrate better on some platforms. Not really a problem.
Calligrapher is absolutly fantastic. USe it all the time on my CE2 powered device. Not only is the handwriting recognision spot on but you can write any where on the screen - not just in a little box. Very easy to use.
Costs a hell of a lot more extra here - for EXACTLY the same bandwidth you pay £250 instead of £150 installation and £100 instaed of £40 per month. Not even slightly close to a good deal as for the extra £100 installation you can buy network cards, hub and cabling and using free (as in beer) firewall and proxy software share out to all the computers you have, just like the more expensive ethernet version, but you have an internal LAN as well...
BT are so stupid, but many of the public are even worse so they might just get away with it!
Nice to hear the Dutch are being sensible about the pricing though.
If this is a joke then ha, ha, very funny. On a more serious note if you want to see how to lean into sharp turns then learn to snowboard. All you need to do is ensure that you keep your weight over the wheels. (Bend in the middle). As for scooters, they rock, but this looks sooooo fun.
But over the years that they have been collecting these statistics there were historically many more men driving than women. These stats probably go back to the (19)50's at least, when women more or less did not drive. Perhaps the statistics are biased after all?
Re:What would I do with the other two buttons....

OS X on x86?

How many buttons do you have? OSX uses 2 buttons as standard (try plugging a 2 button mouse in). You can use a keyboard modifier (either shift or apple - I forget) to make the one button on a standard apple mouse work as the second button. Still leaves you with between 1 and 3 useless buttons...
Whilst I would openly welcome OSX on my desktop, running on my x86 hardware with all the funky hardware I've bought I see this as the one major problem for Apple. If OSX were to be released for the x86 market the number of configurations and hardware devices the OS would have to be able to support would grow to the sort of levels which would be problematic. At the moment they only have to support a few graphics chips out of the box - how many would they have to support if they were attempting to sell OSX to the masses. What about soundcard, modems, network cards and so on. I just can't see it happening without a lot of support from manufacturers who are unwilling to provide driver support on the existing mac platform.
OSX supports more than one mouse button - if you plug a two (or more) button mouse in it recognises right clicks for contect menues and so on. I have heard that Apple will be releasing a two button mouse at the same time as OSX.
So what hapens if I have my computer read it to me. I might be blind (I'm not though). Is that illegal. If it is then surly this is some sort of disability discrimination?
I'm actually reading this in a Darwin machine (an iBook running OSX) and it's much more stable than any Win 9x box I've ever had. This is the first Mac that I've ever bought and so far the experience has been nothing but positive. Much better than an x86 box out of the box.
Beyond the awful consequences of not being alowed to run your own code on your own computer this could be a way for MS to make even more money. I don't imagine that they will be signing apps for free. They already do this with VBA in Office 2000 but at least provided a tool for you to sign your own code. This tool does not sign it in the same was as an official payed for signature though, and still causes all those really anoying warnings to come up.
This is not strictly true. Your eyes are (at the sensor level) constructed from an array of light sensitiy organic neurons. The fire off a signal when light falls on them. There is a certain latency time from this point until the chemicals required to send the electric signal are available again. So your eyes can miss things if they appear and disappear really quickly.

And even then they kick you off after a certain amount of time (2 hours I think) and you need to reconect.

It's Mac OS 10 1.0 Then Mac OS 10 1.1 Stupid, but thats what they want to call it.

Perhaps, I downloaded a nightly build sometime last week (build Id is on laptop at home!) which reported itself as 0.8.

I used to Argo on a PII 266 with 64Mb of PC66 Ram - it worked perfectly and reasonably quickly

A PS1 - I prefer the games.

I saw one in PC World just a few weeks ago, they do sell the desktops in the UK.
