...they point out that most titles are written to be cross-platform, thus erasing a lot of the relative hardware benefits of each platform.
According to Gaving Carter's Slashdot interview three days ago, gaming companies still consider their biggest cross-platform challenge as "taking the big, grandiose things we set out to do and get them to work like they're supposed to".
But that's if we were talking about reduced hardware benefits. What Nintendo is doing is getting rid of the whole hardware capability. It won't be harder to implement a feature, it will be impossible. And not Perl-type impossible, where it just takes a couple of extra seconds to implement, but the real impossible.
And this is coming from a hardcore Nintendo fan. I've been playing Nintendo since I was five years old, and I've actually been inside Nintendo's corporate headquarters in Kyodo, Japan (don't tell the police).
logic is this:
If the apparent order of the universe necessitates a creator, then what created the creator since presumably the creator would be of an even higher level of order? If the creator doesn't need a creator, then why does the universe need a creator?
Well, that's because the universe is of a lower level of order. Your whole world is second-best. Just the fart of some better being. The creator doesn't need a creator, because he exists. We're just figments of imagination.

Absent a constitutional convention, that'll be difficult to do.
Are constitutional conventions absolutely necessary just to make a constitutional amendment? I'm pretty sure congress can just ratify the amendment.
Off-topic, but i'll bite. DVD stands for DVD. Used to stand for Digital Versitile Disk or Digital Video Disk, but now just stands for DVD[referenced from DVD FAQ]
I thought 4D was 'time', too. Until I read this intro to the 4th D. Here's a picture of a 4D cube(hypercube).
Later, while looking at the puzzle, I noticed and gave thought to the fact that you can move upwards to two different places, and still be going up. That, I think, is the more obvious basis for that being a 4D cube, layed out in 2D.
Here's an excerpt from the intro:
An introduction to the fourth dimension
Man has been fascinated about the possibility of there being more than three dimensions ever since he has understood the concept. Henry More (1614-1687) considered that spirits have four dimensions. H.G. Wells suggested that the fourth
dimension is time in The Time Machine. This can be misleading in fact since time is somewhat different from the other three dimensions as we know them. Abbott's Flatland (1) is probably nearer the mark. He considers the life of a 2-dimensional square which suddenly has the chance to travel in three dimensions. This gives the square the ability to see inside objects in its
2-dimensional world, something it previously thought was impossible. Using this analogy from three to four dimensions, we would be able to see inside solid objects if we were able to break out of our own 3-dimensional world into the fourth
dimension. Taking the analogy further, when a 3-dimensional object crosses a 2-dimensional world its inhabitants simply see an object appear from nowhere, grow in size, changing its shape in a rather odd manner if the object is irregular, and then decrease in size until it disappears again. In our world this would be the equivalent of an object suddenly appearing somewhere, growing
in size, shrinking and then disappearing without trace. This may soung very disturbing but this is because we do not fully understand the fourth dimension.
Which really doesn't answer the question you're asking. [sigh]
Here's what does answer the question. Once there are two of them, they still have the same memories and sense of identity, but they are going to become different mentally at the first thought by either one of them. They will be in different enviroments, hence different thoughts, hence different people. They could meet each other, and they might make a good team if the guy doesn't hate himself. In fact, they would make the best team because they know what each wants--they know everything about each other, from before the split, anyway. So, basically, they are different people, but they can become very good friends.
One of my greatest fears used to be that while I was sitting at my computer, another one of me might walk in the door, and say, "Hi," to me. One of my thoughts was that if that did happen, I wouldn't be able to move, I'd be so scared. But I'm over that now, and would welcome the chance to meet myself.
Now, onto the whole computer-brain integration->transfer issue. Obviously, many readers haven't given this much thought at all. They say things dealing with what would happen to the old copies of the people and other stupid stuff. Why stupid? Because there are no copies. This whole process happens in stages if you are to not just clone yourself on a computer, still being stuck in your old flesh and bones. In the beginning, the majority of you will still be in your body, and your brain will be able to control minor computer functions directly. Eventually, in addition to having control over your body, you will have total control over the computer, being capable of consciousness in either one. Generally, you will adopt the computer as the main you, and your body as a "shell" process that you can't close or "kill". You could kill it, but I recommend backing up the data on it, seeing as you can't restore it (heh). You will not be stored in a hard drive but in that memory that doesn't stop refreshing all the time. You can use hard drives for the equivelent of storing books, music, etc. You will no longer be male or female, however there are shells you can run which make you feel like either one as well as many other shells which give other experiences. These shells can be closed and resumed right where left off. Your memory of these shell experiences after closing them will be dream-like, but we're developing a patch for that. You won't need us to develop patches eventually, though--you'll make your own...but that is a whole other topic, going into the evolution of sole intellectualism, the incredibly insane amounts of possibilities that can be conceived when considering self-engineering, and basically total self-domination and control. Very crazy stuff. I could go into more detail, but I'm getting tired of re-typing stuff I've already written down, and I'll just advise you that if I ever do finish writing the book about it, then it will go into a lot more detail, telling a very lovely, crazy story that most of you will piss your pants over with joy.
why is there so much crap posted? all these offtopic things like e-sales are doing good and basically news articles out of nowhere and having nothing to do with the topic...is it just lego stories? this hasn't been this bad for the other stories.
HAHA these AOL script kiddies with all their "slashdot is just a buncha piratez" comments and "I'm not going to the trial..." propaganda crack me up every time.:)

And he DID throw the chair.

wtf
RAM consumes wattage. Bad idea.
'you in the generic' is 'one'.
Perl isn't faster than C, Perl is faster than one writing C.

That's correct. Iraq is the 51st state.
I feel I have to respond to that... there. That's more than enough response.
Paying for it does count.
