  1. Re:Halo, now even more boring than ever on Halo 3 and the Second Wave of 360 Games · · Score: 0

    This isn't flamebait. Someone mod him back. Its true that many people don't like FPS on consoles, and don't see why Halo is so popular. This opinion is valid.

    It means they don't want to release tripe

    No it doesn't. The game could be finished bar final testing for all we know. It means that THEY WON'T GIVE A RELEASE DATE UNTIL SONY DOES FOR THE PS3. Whats the use of releasing it early? They need a big game that people are excited about, so when people go to the store to buy a ps3, they have something to put in peoples faces.

  3. Re:OS X vs. Linux desktop on Will MacIntel Kill Apple Open Source Efforts? · · Score: 0
    I'm not going to use wine for anything serious.

    I don't use Photoshop, but from people I've talked to, Crossover office (if you're willing to pay for it) works perfectly and is well supported.

    I keep trying suspend and software suspend but it never has worked correctly on any machine I've tried it on. Most recently was with OpenSUSE 10.0.

    Only if you're lucky enough to find an adapter that has drivers or works under ndiswrapper.

    I use Gentoo. They update the kernel regularly, and I haven't had any problems that I couldn't solve as far as wireless is concerned (and I've set it up with 3 different wireless adapters). You're right that ACPI isn't well supported, but its getting much better. Not having suspend isn't enough reason to ditch the mac? YMMV

    To state the obvious.

    1- You can always run photoshop though wine
    2-3 - ACPI in the new kernel is fine, and so is Wireless support.

    Wouldn't it be cool to be able to play Ridge Racer (the original), save my fastest time to the emulated memory card, and post my time on a leaderboard? Or maybe time attack mode for Tekken 2 etc etc

  10. Water powered watch! on Interesting Wrist Watches? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Many years ago I remember a guy I knew had a watch that was water powered. Well, you had to hold it under a tap for a minute or so every couple of weeks, and it would charge the battery. It was pretty cool then, and just thinking about it, its pretty cool now.

    If anyone remembers this watch......

  11. Re:My Favorite on Interesting Wrist Watches? · · Score: 0

    Yes! I remember that! I think it was designed by an artist so you could check your watch without looking at it, which would be rude if you were with people.

    My mission is to find that watch!

  12. Re:So.... on PlayStation 3 Delayed, Over $800? · · Score: 0

    So it states the obvious! M$ will make more money if there is a delay! Amazing powers of prediction!

    This article isn't really meant for us, so why is it here? It reads that even if Sony continue to have manufactuing problems, its all still worth waiting for, from an investment point of view.

    Be wary of jobs advertised by recruitment agencies. Their primary goals is to get the right staff at the right price for the company, which is usually very cheap.

    What are you talking about? The ps2 had a linux kit available so anyone (provided you pay for it...don't start!) could mess around with the Emotion Engine, and people did.

    Also, the ps3 will be running, apparently, a version of linux, as server-focused cell applications will be primarily linux based.

    Has everyone forgotten?

  17. Re:Oh, really? on World Series of Videogames Announced · · Score: 0

    You make a good point. doesn't

    More games = more interest = more money for promoters.

    I don't see how an xbox360 game that have been out for 3 months can be considered a better choice than, say, street fighter 2, which many people have played over its *thinks* maybe 15 years and are very familiar with. Why do I suspect m$ is putting money towards this?

  18. Mark me troll! I dare you! on NES Games and Statistical Analysis · · Score: 0

    The movie is very pretty, and its a step in the right direction. This sort of thing should be done much more.

    However, 15 is not significantly significant. In fact, having an average time or counting who took the pickup doesn't really say much. In fact, the whole article doesn't say much because it needs a hypothesis.

    I remember some retail outlets mapping the path people took in their stores in order to optimise product placement. That sort of thing could be done easily to create intuitive environments.

    Or maybe its already being done.

    Cool! Considering Quicken was the program people wanted on Linux, Gnucash always seemed like a one-man-band and was desperate for developers.

    that making a game on the n64 would take TWICE as long as on the PSX, because, you know, there are twice as many bits, or something!!!
