The contention here is that connecting four USB joypads (whether PC native or through an adapter) to a PC is as useful (or as useless) as connecting a USB keyboard and mouse to a PS2's USB ports because few top-class commercial games are designed to read and respond to them.
Actually the contention was that racing games sucked on the PC because you had to use the keyboard and mouse. He said:
Go and try to play some racing game with keyboard/mouse. It sucks and it doesn't hold a candle to playing with a control pad.
Most PC racing games work fine with Playstation 2 controllers. Every subsequent post has been belaboring additional points that may be true, but have nothing to do with the post I was responding to. Again, I don't care if you (or Captain Stupid before you) like playing games on the PC or consoles. I was just providing a link to an easy and cheap way to use your console controllers on the PC.
Another thing that just sort of had me asking "why?! why?!" was if that one kid at the end could make stuff he drew real how come he didn't fix Roland's hand?
The answer is that Stephen King is a boring washed up hack that ran out of ideas and motivation 20 years ago.
I have some seriously old pillows, and they are probably more spore than fluff, but I have not been able to find ones as good as the ones my Mom bought us shortly after we were married.
Year Cable Started: 1949 Year Discovery Channel Started: 1985
Wow, thanks for being so informative.
I'm sure that cable in 1949 is completely relevant to what people in modern times think of as "cable television" while they roam about glistening glass cities in horseless carriages under the glaring bloom of electric lights, imagining the moving pictures carried into their living rooms like magical bits of heaven (in all of it's post-war industrial might and glory)!
The original post that spurred this on said:
Or were you not around when cable was commercial free and was the major selling point?
That poster didn't say "when cable first started." In fact, it was you who said that. I responded to your moronic post to clarify the obvious. The Discovery Channel, when it first started, was commercial free. Strangely, this was a major selling point.
When was this? When cable originally started, all they did was transmit what came to them over the air from the networks. Comercials and all. There were no other stations at that point.
Just as an example, the Discovery Channel was originally commercial free...
"If Ardour doesn't have a feature I need, I can code it myself." Most people can't program themselves and would rather buy something that already has the feature they want...
The best time to start a large coding project is in the middle of a recording project.
Creative's marketing is stupid. However, it is not as stupid as this:
How can make an mp3 sound BETTER than the CD? Unless they can restore the lost information in the sampling & compressing, it will sound... DIFFERENT from my cd, at the best.
If it sounded "better," it would obviously have to be "different," at the best. Unless you know of some magical way to make something better by making it exactly the same?
Slashdot Mirror
Couple hours at a kiosk. I call this game a 'magical Zelda' - same type of action/adventure/rpg with more based on magic.
Geez, why don't you let someone else have a turn?
Madden is better now than it was back on SNES.
Madden 94 on the Genesis is still the best Madden of all time. Sorry!
Yeah? And does that include an adapter to play Burnout 3 on your PC?
Sadly, it doesn't include an adapter to shake the sand out of your vagina, either.

I want a house made of gold bricks and pony to ride.
Hey look, that has nothing to do with the original post either!
I don't care if you can't satisfy yourself with PC gaming. I was merely responding to your erroneous claim.
Go and try to play some racing game with keyboard/mouse. It sucks and it doesn't hold a candle to playing with a control pad.
Yes, it's a known fact that there is no way to attach a PS2/Xbox controller to a PC with a $12 adapter from Radio Shack. Especially not this one.
Change weapons using your stylus? I just use my thumb.
Cheater.
Of actual games in development, or just the quick and dirty tech demos that Nintendo put together for magazines?
Me thinks you sound pompous and ridiculous.
The cost of stuff like fans, heaters, lights that comunicate with the computer is probably not gonna be cheap.
Yes, it's well known that fans, lightbulbs, and USB cables are priced out of reach of the average consumer.
...Zonk wouldn't exist on "teh intarweb."
nah just jealous.
Of what? His books are a small fart in the wide world of literature.

Thier what is full of shit?
What is a "thier?"
Yes, that is really annoying.
Next time you get an injection, tell the nurse not to swab - citing the fact that you're definitely not a baby.
Yes, because getting an injection is almost exactly the same as sleeping on a pillow.
Sheesh.
Not sure I actually like the idea, but then I don't like the idea of all those microorganisms seething around my head for 6+hours every day, either.
I don't particularly like carpets for similar reasons.
Maybe a simple solution would be to create a sheath that acts as a barrier between the pillow and pillow-case.
An even simpler solution would be for you to stop being such a baby. Eat your vegetables and bathe regularly, you'll be fine.

You married your mom???

Your point, on the other hand, remains a mystery.

Sort of like a 'greatest hits' CD.. just a scam to suck more cash out of you for what you ALREADY PAID FOR.
If you buy a compilation CD that only contains tracks you already own...it's not like the track listing isn't on the CD case.
I don't do business with iTunes, because I don't think songs are worth $1 to download.
I've been really happy with Rhapsody. As long as you don't upgrade to the v3, Total Recorder will happily record your streams at 4x.
Then outsource it.
Yes, to Digidesign, Cakewalk, or Steinberg who have probably already implemented whatever feature you are looking for.
