Comment: Hands down, Madden Football! (Score 0) 254

I know folks will argue with my choice based on tech advances, etc. But by far the game that blew the console market up again (after Atari, Intellivision & Colecovision folded) was John Madden Football for the Sega Genesis. This game not only revolutionized gaming but also blasted the door open on the lucrative sports gaming, sub-market. But innovations, you ask? How about utilizing celebrity to be a part of the game & in its marketing/naming

. Besides, its the only game to date to have a full season worth of shows, for several season now, dedicated to it: ESPNs Madden Nation.

Quote: "Are Brits more open-minded than the rest of the world when it comes to choosing an OS?" - No, it's just that Microsoft hasn't brainwashed the British populace into thinking there's only 1 main OS for so many years like MS has.

They'll NEVER mention Linux- it's leap years ahead of Windows AND free?! Not to mention that the entire EU has sued the pants off of MS for monopolistic practices (& earlier this year, MS lost the appeal & was fined 1.4 BILLION!).

Sure, ignorance on our part is a factor but a more important factor, I'd argue, is that MS is an American company. You could poll any European country & I'd bet the results similar to the UK's choice of OS.

New sort, quicker than QuickSort

ThomasCR writes "AI goes unexpected directions. Here, in a collaboration of humans and a program, a new sorting algorithm has been developed. Considerably faster than the well known QuickSort, for which it has been long thought, that it is the fastest way to order an array of integers or floating point numbers. Apparently not, according to this site: http://critticall.com/underconstruction.html Is something like that possible at all?"

Do something unusual today. Pay a bill.
