The Sega 32X could do that too in theory; it didn't have direct access to the 16-bit VDP so in normal operation it used a loopback RGB cable and chroma-keying to add its own output to the screen, but it'd still operate if both outputs were connected directly to screens (the result wouldn't make much sense though).
I've had ext4 truncate files after a crash more than once, something that wasn't fixable with fsck. Ext3 never caused me data loss after a crash, nor have reiserfs or reiser4. If a journalling filesystem can't recover from a crash any better than FAT16 then what is it good for?
I wonder if Valve is just saying this to get Larabel to stop spamming their inbox every 2 hours asking when it's being released. Phoronix is nothing but a troll with a website looking for new ways to incite people into exposing themselves to banner ads.
It won't be "silent" if it keeps that obnoxious behaviour it does now, where it interrupts you with a new version splash page. It's no less rude than a popup ad.
EA _has_ changed. 15-20 years ago, they were one of the biggest game developers. People would put down $50 a piece all the time because they made games worth that much.
Today they're just a games industry MPAA imitation. And they deserve to go under just as much.
Moving more chips to the game cartridge won't change a thing.
10NES didn't work, SuperFX didn't work, Sega's passthrough slot add-ons pretty much put them out of business for trying.
The most effective hardware lock-out I've seen is done by Apple. Their official (obscenely overpriced) RAM offers no real benefits over normal RAM, but both the chips and the motherboard are insidiously designed to use slightly different voltages, so that any other RAM appears to work but gets permanently damaged over time. Maybe Nintendo should move to "SD" cards...
In a world where Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera now on a regular basis beat the tar out of Microsoft... well... who really cares if IE9 won't support anything but this boobytrapped codec?
And yet you seem to have no problem with Safari only supporting this same codec.
No, they're right. In this age of the internet, we in the rest of the world have to live with their idea of "property" in which a multinational PR shell with enough lawyers can literally own your thoughts.

Battery capacity has improved considerably since the Game Gear.

The difference with Google's response is that they had the honesty to respond. They could've just quietly brushed this under the mat.

UT2004 runs fine with no 32-bit whatsoever.
Chrome's way of handling this is pretty clever. After the second alert box from a site, it gives you a "STFU" checkbox on the next ones.
Are people running their web browsers as Administrator or root?!
Are you one of those asshole admins who mounts /home noexec so nobody can run their own software instead of the FF2.0.0.0 you ram in their face?
Give me a cool central control panel and have each browser be able to be hooked into it and it would be amazing.
It's called Landscape.
Firefox 3.7 already has tabs on top. Thankfully it's optional, and off by default.

Maybe it was because you ate the company by yourself?

* Cartridges would be practically impossible to pirate cost-effectively.
Or produce at all.
This is Slashdot. Some people would make a serious complaint if that was left out.
Would accomplish this better in every way imaginable, sans invoking all the gratuitous web 2.0 buzzwords.
They get offended because... well, they don't get anything else. Jealousy.
Print to file, open in PDF viewer. There's your print preview.
The third letter in "HDD" is only there because it has a motor. SSDs should really be called Solid State Storage, or SSS for short.

Nothing at all.
Someone else has already written a library for the hard part of what you're doing, and their code *works*. Use it.
No, they're right. In this age of the internet, we in the rest of the world have to live with their idea of "property" in which a multinational PR shell with enough lawyers can literally own your thoughts.
Why on earth are these attractive for modern servers?
Because you would be able to run a server room without 20 tons of cooling equipment and the associated costs.
Does what they say actually matter, in light of the recent news of what's been done by them?
