The game I liked, Medievia 3, death killed you roamed about in ghost form for a holy place and then prayed.
Then a god/*itch named Sultress stripped me of all my items, then the whole economy was reset and a wilderness area between zones was created with overpowered NPCs that cheerfully hunted you down to the edges of reality (and it became Medievia 4).
I just have my browser ignore the "popunder bit" transmitted with the ad.
Heck, I went the step further and denied unrequested windows. Getting half a million dollors taken from you under threat of retaliation of the US government urban military forces (the people with guns who write parking tickets for a living) is much harder to simply ignore.
Does anyone remember zip disks? Marvellous little things; decent storage capacity, decent access times, not too big size wise... Yet they failed. Badly. Why?
First of all, it would be safer to carve your data out of jello and throw it onto a freeway.
Secondly, said carving and chucking would be debatably faster.
Thirdly, you don't have to worry about the blue jello being incompatible with red cars.
Fourthly, somewhere along the line Zips got a really bad rap. One that no lifetime of replacement disks would fix. For me at least.
Actually, overcompressing MP3 type formats would be a closer parallel (killing music with the opponents scheme), which is being demonstrated on some CDs.
Its not quite as gruesome as electrocuting various creatures, but I wouldn't put that past the RIAA either. Just tell them your neighbor's kittens are trading music.:-)
Captain Picario, versus the Borg queen (named Bowser). Realizing the truth of his hopelessness he eats mushrooms allowing him to see the monsterous cyborged turtles as helpless slowpokes in a wonderful blue brown world where he can fly on bricks and cough up flames.
It has very fast memory access speed (and a decent amount of RAM anyways). Opengl CPU command extensions to play with, ethernet potential, a nice controller, small size/low power consumption, and a nifty GPU to explore.
Its definitely a game machine, but its cool because of that. The xbox is a pc with known PC parts. Gamecube is the current frontier! And its about as elegant as it will get nowadays.
Why not linux on Gamecube? Wheres your curiousity gone?
All you need to do is simulate enough atoms to have a virtual brain. Afterwards, without wasting its abilities on biological functions, it could prolly keep pace without a lookup table that consumes the observable universe.:-)
Nevermind that every achievable permutation is probaby a lot more than the amount of permutations possible with a lookup table as an opponent.
That was a very naturally occuring "trick". Amiga doesn't have much beyond the Workbench to load on startup. And its not wholly smart to autorun stuff before that.
Its just a simpler system.
It'd be interesting to see if Linux can reach that sort of tightness someday. Right now it seems to be moving the other way though.
The 1.5G mini discs have only been a limit with Resident Evil, and that was worked around in a cool way (and the game sucked anyway, in my oppinion of course).
I'm surprised how noone talks about how Sony keeps shooting themselves in the foot with crap texture filtering. Heck, PS2 barely made it off the ground at the start (those first gen games, yergh!).
Gamecube is quite an improvement over N64. I don't see as much difference between PS1/PS2.

MMDs are digital too.
Say it:
"One million bytes is about one megabyte."
Why do people cling to counting bits and using base 10 measurements on binary data? Its silly!
A two-foot high android with a human's memories and thought processes is exponentially more transportable
"I call him, Mini Me"
"And he fits conveniently in most overhead storage bins."
Artificial gravity isn't hard, make it big and spin it.
Antigravity is nutty. Like trying to nullify a big magnet with an iron filing. Have fun trying!

It was so cool before the upgrade...

I had no problem hitting Evolution, GIMP and OpenOffice. Of course mortals aren't allowed to vote.
Put the serious apps up front and the rest will follow. Gotta put on a good show against the competition too. All IMHO.
AC puts on more of a show.
the killy-chairs used DC last I heard.
Also I don't think DC had much of a transmission range, something AC apparently does have.

Only on UPeNdo!
So, whats behind CERN's lack-lustre implementation?

A formula 1 won't get very far on a plate of pasta.
Of course the human champion might slow down a bit with gasoline in his gut too.
Why did I say this?
At least they're being shaken out and apparently fixed so they aren't a problem 9 years down the line.
Hopefully the ruckus is putting more eyes to the code.
I honestly have not seen really obnoxious examples of product placement
You really gotta check out Return of the Killer Tomatos then!
Amen!
Yahoo won't be burning bridges to any effect on me now.

The Tuvalu .tv TLD registrar appears on f**kedcompany.com shortly thereafter.
Its not that funny, I was suspicious about SSH from day one.
Two incidents later I'm not any less appeased.
Can't telnet be tunneled over SSL?
What ticks me off is that flashram cards are using tiny megabytes to describe capacity...
10-bit color (4096 colors)
10 bit equals 1024 colors
12 bit equals 4096 colors
