The Carnival of Gamers is a bi-weekly monthly gathering of video game bloggers at a central location. The premise behind the Carnival of Gamers is similar to those of other "Blog Carnivals" -- it is a showcase of blogs that are about video games. Some of the participating blogs are almost exclusively about video games while others deal with a wide range of topics, from music and movies to politics and punditry to video game design. The Carnival of Gamers has an open format. Anyone wishing to participate in the Carnival is welcome. While the Carnival is hosted by a different blog each time, its entries are currently unedited and unfiltered. We reserve the right to filter entries in the future, but as it stands now, we accept all entries and present them as-is. This did cause a bit of a furor with the first Carnival but that seems to have settled down now.
Okay, I admit that my above joke wasn't exactly a knee-slapper, but it should be noted that the correct way to mod a bad joke is to click on -1 overrated.
I see only one way to solve this: Give me one. I'll run WoW on it, and decide.
I know that was obiously a joke, but I'd just like to point out that a good video card and internet connection are much more important than processor speed these days.
You can no more complain that something is caching, or indexing, your pages you have published with HTTP, then you can complain that someone is accessing them at all.
I can complain about whatever I want, but that's not the point. Google Image Search is different than mere caching. It's like giving away taped television episodes but replacing the commercials with your own ads. I, personally, don't think Google's Image Search should be illegal, but that doesn't mean the issue is as clear-cut as you make it out to be.
Google Images is just a version of the normal Google SE that only brings up images. It doesn't do any more caching than Google does anyway (when caching both text and images), not that whether the content is stored as an image or text is relevant.
But Google Images serves up pictures without the advertisements that support the content creators. This the same argument as PVRs and skipping commercials. Of course, an argument can be made for using a robots.txt file, but it could be argued that this shouldn't be the creators responsibility to implement.
I already own Super Mario 3. Twice (the original cart and the game boy advance version). Therefore, I should be provided with free upgrades for life. If Nintendo feels different -- well, that's what the internets are for.
Just because there is a new verion out doesn't mean that your old carts will stop working. In my opinion, as long as the ROM image is the same, fair use applies; but I disagree in cases like Mario 64 for the DS.
This is good news for the Wayback Machine at archive.org. I think the case against google images, and especially google video is a little stronger, however.
I don't see how sony could ever top the "emotion engine" in the playstation 2. We all know that ps2 games are the graphical equivalent to a realtime Toy Story...

MMOGs Branch Out
·
· Score: 1
Though I see your point, the article was talking about MMOG branching out to people that are reluctant to pay a monthly fee for a game. WoW is popular, no doubt, but there is still a much larger user base to be had.
They will probably get hit by lawsuits in contries that have "free trade" deals. Send these to Mexico and acording to NAFTA companies selling computers there can block this beacause it "robs" them of potential profits.
And those companies would have a pretty strong case too. If anything (in my opinion, of course), Mexico needs more capitalism and a smaller government.
I'd move to Utah in a second, myself. I like how in the US, the individual states have actual power (though less all time). It allows the government to reflect its people.

Seriously people. Metamoderators need to pay a little more attention. Flamebait?
What is this Carnival of Gamers you speak of?

No. Never...
Holy insightful response batman! You do no this is slashdot right? ;)

Why don't you just find out for yourself? link
Chrono Trigger should take up half of the article.

Some people don't mind supporting companies that provide a worthwhile service. I'd rather play Mario on my TV than on my computer.

Yeah, I just played it too. Elasto put gameplay before realism.
Actually, this thing here heats up the river a little bit!
Does anyone else remember playing Motorama years ago when it was called Elastomania, or earlier still, Across(Action Supercross)? It's a great game!

Aibo, the multithousand dollar furby for ubergeeks.
And is it just me or does this look a little iBookish?
Yeah it's white.
