PS3 is far from released yet, and XBox360 are very hard to get. If you really want to buy one of them now, your only choice is the PSP, isn't it?

In what way is not teaching about religion making religion bad? You're saying that this goes against one's freedom of choice, choice to have religion taught in school. Would you say the same thing if some parents asked that "superiority of the white race" or some other bullshit be taught in school? Should school teach whatever any stupid parent ask? Also, remember that ID would have been taught to all children, not just christian children.

The music publishers couldn't be left out of the fun, could they? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4508158.stm

Thanks a lot And it works even without a proxy!

have you tried using an american proxy? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good idea. I tried, but with very little success. All the proxies I tried were too slow, resulting in heavy frameskipping after a few seconds. If there was an option to download the video that'd be fine, but there doesn't seem to be any. I guess I'll have to wait until Google Video gets out of the beta stage. Or does anyone have a direct link?

%!#@! damnit! crap!

I've just watched the first episode. It seems pretty good so far.

On some neogeo emulators, you can overclock the cpu. It can probably also be done for the PSX, but I don't know if any emulator has that feature. The only suggestion I can give you is to try them all.

From what is said, that's not homebrew, the 360 is just acting like a terminal. Nothing is executed on the 360, only on the remote PC. So don't get your hopes up too soon.

There were ads in newspapers at the time the neogeo AES was sold. Also, any good videogame shop had one on display here. Almost every kid I knew at the time asked his parents to buy him one. And absolutely not one of them was answered "yes". At first it was not as well-known as sega or nintendo, but it was soon known as the graal of gaming systems. So great, so pricey.

What kind of news is that? There are stupid hate preachers all around the world. This sounds a bit like propaganda. Also, that website doesn't seem very objective. Here are a few drawings from this site, make your own judgement: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/image.php?id=107 http://www.israelnationalnews.com/image.php?id=106 http://www.israelnationalnews.com/image.php?id=77 The last one is really disgusting. Life is hard for both israelians and palestinians, and this kind of media only worsens the situation.

IIRC, the X360 launches on the same day (or a few days apart) all over the world. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow! It happens so rarely that it is surprising. The DS and the PSP came almost 6 months late in Europe...

Does anyone know when it will be launched in Europe? I won't get one, it's just out of curiosity.

I forgot to say something: the longest is not writing the programs, it's debugging them. Have a coffee machine ready

You guys are so nostalgic. But there are still inovative games nowadays! Just like agozer said, katamari damacy is a good example. Back in the 8-bit and 16-bit era, granted there were a few innovative concepts and good games, but most were crap just like now! Have you forgotten Pit Fighter? There were A LOT of these crappy games back then, and good and innovative games were not that common. Sure, now we only remember the good games. But when I was a kid and had a SMS, I read lots of game magazines to make sure the next game I'd buy wouldn't be a total crap, because guess what? Most games in shops were really bad. I really don't think it's worse now than back then. Anyway, if you don't like today's games, have a look in your roms collection. Try a few random games (really random, some games you don't know and have never heard about), you could find a jewel, but most likely the biggest part will be pure crap.

Noone forces you to do anything. If you really want to, go ahead. All I can tell you is that I have started to learn assembly, and the best achievement I have done so far, is a program that can output its own name (on the command line). Good luck!

I'm sure cutting through fresh flesh with a scalpel is also much more fun than learning how the heart works. However, I'm not sure I'd like to know the surgeon that would open my chest has skipped theory because "it's more fun to cut". You don't need to learn every detail of how a computer works to code; but jumping straight into coding won't lead you anywhere either. To learn assembly coding though, you'll have to know how the processor you will code for works. At the very least, to code in any language, try to learn the basics of data structures and how an algorithm works (for high level languages; assembly would require more technical knowledge). Coding can be a little fun when you jump straight into it, but it's so much better when you know what you're doing. Also, forget about debugging programs you didn't write yourself. To save on space, they usually remove all labels, making it almost impossible to understand anything about the disassembled code, even for professionnals. You could begin by trying to understand the source code of open-source programs, even that is tough. EDIT: I forgot something. If you want to have fun coding, stay the hell away from assembly. Any sane person would get crazy trying to code something really elaborate in assembly. It's like building a wooden house with matches.

I'm sure the whole thing isn't.

Fool.

Have a look there for gba/ds flashcards. Winsunx

You need power to read a book? Move your lazy ass and learn maths! Not for this, for everything else. Btw it IS coding.

What would be the alternative?

Go paranoia go! ...ok.

Just added myself.
