"Lego" is already the pluralised form. It's one of those words that doesn't use an 's' suffix, like "sheep". As in, "I dropped some LEGO on the floor."
As a UK citizen who's recently moved to America, I can assure you that it is almost impossible to get anything done without a SSN.
I finally got one last week, which hopefully means I can actually apply for things now. To be quite honest, I think the sheer quantity of forms would put off any would-be criminal...
I remember when you used to be able to develop native Windows C++ applications using Visual Studio.
Now it seems like with every release of VC they take out more and more of the features we were actually using.
It's not just extremely hard to synchronize the various tasks - it's INCREDIBLY hard!
At least the PS3 has the advantage that the separate threads run in separate address spaces, which actually means it's harder to get problems due to threads randomly accessing bits of memory. On PS3 you have to explicitly send data from each processor to another.
On Xbox 360, it's pretty much a free-for-all, which means no end of debugging fun. Oh joy.

You forgot "sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads".
Any format will be obsolete in 20 years. (remember 8-track?)
If I get all my music in MP3, maybe players in 20 years won't play them any more.
So what do you suggest I use?
What exactly is wrong with iTunes?
> Well, it was an "actual" cut-scene from the game. :/
I don't think it was actually. The cut-scenes in the game were all done "in-engine".
The footage from the advert was pre-rendered at much higher quality.
Ah, but he did also do the swordfighting insults in "The Secret Of Monkey Island".
I think that earns him some credit.
This is kinda similar to the technology they use for doing photo-finishes in track & field races.

The best ones are when somebody puts their feet on the finishing line, and it gets stretched out to several "metres" long.
Pff... That's not a audio/video studio... that's just a guy downloading and burning some DivX movies.
I think "tens of thousands in state funds" is possibly a bit of an exaggeration.
Who interlaces an LCD? Uh, Nintendo?
I suggest you look very closely at your GBA next time you use it...
The weird thing is, that link actually works already when I click it.
.com is gone already?
Maybe
Come the revolution, you will be first against the wall.
Aaaargh! It's not "Legos", it's LEGO.

I guess the singular would be "a piece of LEGO".

Aha, it all becomes clear at last!
I actually worked on one of the games that's on this list, and I can confirm that we didn't give them the source code for it.
They're definitely doing a proper emulation - there's no simple recompile going on here.
Surely you mean watching *THREE* Star Wars movies side-by-side.
There's only three. Right...?
Sounds like my job. I don't think there'll be any problems there. :-)

Great, now Slashdot's advertising advertisments.

Um. Seeing as they'll be programming the SPUs in C, how does this matter?
CRTs actually look less blocky than HDTV, due to the extra gaussian blur. True.
