A shitty document display mark up language and a horrid scripting language are what we have to work with. It's really a shame that Java dropped the ball.
HTML isn't shit. But it is designed to display documents, not applications.
JavaScript is awesome, actually. It's a very misunderstood language. Maybe you just suck at it?
PSPs are down around 120-130 new, less used or refurbed, and Nintendo handhelds are less than that.
Over here DSis are still at least â130 and DSi XLs at least â150. The PSP Street is just â100 (but it's crap compared to the PSP 3004 which is no longer sold).
I don't see a problem with getting out more, but as good as giving up your hobby for the women is a step too far for me. Shouldn't your significant other accept everything about you, including your nerdy hobbies? I certainly am never going to make that sacrifice. It would be like losing a part of me and/or pretending to be someone I am not.
PAL is higher resolution. NTSC has a higher framerate. They each have some other minor differences. Which one is better depends on your personal preferences.
Not really. PAL generally makes for a better image thanks to better colour information. 50 frames per second versus 60 frames per second is a non-issue.
PAL has better better colours and resolution. The tradeoff is 50 frames instead of 60 frames per second, but is that really an issue. NTSC's 60 frames per second isn't even true because otherwise there's a sound issue.
It seems to me that if you took a linux distro, stripped out all the 3d support and other power-consuming enhancements, and ran xfce or some other extremely light weight window manager, that you'd have a system that's just as fast but one that you could actually run the programs you wanted on.
As a result of those delays, Haiku is still in no position to be adopted as an operating system for regular day-to-day use any time in the forseeable future. Among other things, it has no provision at all for file ownership, user accounts, or (meaningful) permissions.
So what? I don't need DRM on my home computer, thank you very much.
Nonetheless, for the other 95.75%, connecting to the internet without being in a limited-permission user account is just a really bad idea.
If your system has been owned, it's already too late. A limited user account isn't going to change this.
The security issue is just one of many. The short version is, it's not 1996 any more. I think it's important for OS and GUI designers to be familiar with BeOS and learn from it. Beyond that, however, I do not think BeOS or Haiku is a useful system today, and its development would need to accelerate significantly for that to ever change.
You mentioned one field where wouldn't be useful, and from that you extrapolate it to it not being useful in general.
I happen to think that it would make a great home desktop OS.
-The smaller size and crisper screen of the Gameboy Pocket made it a worth-while upgrade to the original Gray Brick.
Don't forget that you only needed two batteries for this model instead of four.
The back-lit screen of the revised GBA SP made it a worth-while upgrade to the original GBA SP / original GBA.
I hear it's not that much of a difference. Not like I can see for myself as the revision was only distributed sparsely in a couple European countries.
-The clearer (back-lit?) screen of the DS Lite made it a worth-while upgrade to the DS Phat.
I find the better battery life to be much more worthwhile. It even has a couple more backlight strength settings to play with, one of them strong enough to play with while under the sun. Of course, it drains the battery faster.
I was disappointed that they released the XL, out of jealousy, since it seems to fix the battery life issues and the small screen for not crazy amounts of money.
But you knew this would happen, didn't you? You could have delayed your purchase.
You can't really put the Game Boy Color in the same line as the original Game Boy. While the hardware was mostly the same, it had its own game library. Early Game Boy Color games were compatible with the Game Boy, but if I remember correctly that introduced a limitation on the amount of colours you could use in the Game Boy Color version.
The DSi was a straight upgrade from the DS line in the same way Apple went from the iPhone 1 to the iPhone 2. Specs were better, screen was better, more services, had specific games (but remained backward compatible), etc.
The specific games were mostly games you could buy on the online store and a couple retail games. The DS game library was still the primary medium of the device.

They're awesome technologies that are often bashed by people who don't make an effort to work with them. Not everything is easy.

The 3DS is selling very well over in Japan. So no, they won't die in the portable arena any time soon.

Allowing any codec has consequences, many of them being bad. No thanks.
Also, you're missing the point when it comes to "better codecs". The web doesn't need the best codec. It needs a codec that is good enough.
What world do you live in? Quotation marks barely help any more. :(
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You're funny.
No, the joke is file permissions on a home desktop operating system. It's a cancer that has come from the business world.
The correct name is Haiku.

That doesn't change the fact that BeOS was its own paradigm that still stands apart today. It's worth preserving and using.
You can't really say that the SNES was pushed that hard when it used chips contained in the cartridges for the really impressive stuff.
What about Amazon altering your music files without your permission?

No, I'm not. The iDevices are a different case.

"should have"? They were still DS consoles that primarily played DS games.
The DS models are not all functionally identical. Things changed with the release of the DSi:
Wrong. It's called Super Mario 3D Land (not Land 3D) because it makes use of the 3D effect.
Your statements about gun crime are true if you append "in America" to each of them.
