You can still install a 3rd party IPX driver though. Compared to everything else, Windows is the most backwards OS ever made.

Why not?

Convenience. You do not need a different machine to run each different piece of software you own. Backwards compatibility is basically what made Microsoft Windows so popular.

Ever since the linux game tome stopped being updated, I switched to indiedb to publish my open source games.

Oh, there were no planes filled to the brim with jet fuel or high buildings used in that attack?

You gun nuts take logic and cast it off at the first possible point during an argument.

So you are saying the logical thing to do would be to ban jet fuel and high buildings too?

"The Katamai core, I owned one... That was one of the best computers I ever owned."

Agreed. I absolutely loved mine. It was a p3 667, Dual Slot 1 OR840, 2gb rambus. I bought two matching machines; 2 motherboards, 4 cpus, 4 gigs of ram, 2 voodoo 5s (later upgrading to GeForce 5s). One for myself and one for my girlfriend. We ran the machines for almost 5 years, and did not upgrade until the dual core 3.0 mhz pentium D was released.

One of the p3 machines is still running today, as a firewall.

On a side note, the pentium D's lasted about a year and a half before they burnt out and were replaced with 32mn core 2 duos.

You are correct. For the longest time I ran a dual 667mhz pentium 3's in an Intel OR840 Dual Slot 1 Workstation Board, with 2 gigs of rambus.

That machine was such a beast - it benchmarked faster then 1.8 ghz pentium 4s. It was not until dual core pentium D's were released that I was willing to give up using it as my desktop. In fact the machine is still running right now as a firewall.

I've always wondered why the guy who made gnome did not just use a damn mac. If you like mac, you like it because it is a mac (and all that entails). I mean what is a mac? The culture, the marketing, the packaging, the case, the hardware, the user experience. You will never be able to reproduce that mac user experience, unless of course you can match the level of engineering and support and design and effort and genius that went into creating the mac user experience. But here is this guy, who is going to make a system that is just like the mac, except better, all by himself.

Is what we are seeing de Icaza succumbing to the Dunning–Kruger effect?

If I had mod points...

The game does not even have to be built - only the engine.

The engine is not any harder to build then say, PHP and Apache, which are requirements to play the HTML5 entries.

I am disappointed my project didn't win...

...but then again there was no prize for technological superiority.

Look at the video trailer. There are in-game screen shots that you can clearly see.

Have you seen the proposed specs on the PS4 and next Xbox?

Yes, I have. Both systems are built using mid range off-the-shelf PC components. The systems are not targeting hardcore gamers, but rather casuals and soccer moms.

It is completely beyond me how those two stories have not garnered more press. Thats bigger than the Dorner case considering it's basically giving rights to the LAPD to open fire on absolutely anybody and get away with it.

They already do open fire on absolutely anybody, and they get away with it. Police are not here to protect the people, they are here to protect the government.
