I know there were two overall structures for Jaguar game programming: graphics and game logic on Tom and input processing on 68K, and graphics on Tom and input processing and game logic on 68K. I understand developers with Genesis, Neo Geo, Amiga, or Atari ST experience might prefer the latter. But did an emulator author really go through "most of the games" and find them to use the latter structure?

The big one, if I remember correctly, had something to do with Tom's instruction cache and required small methods and a far smarter linker than most PC programmers are used to.

Could you explain why this continues to be the case? It looks like a good place to start attacking your problem.

If your job depends on you seeing changes to Google services, then get IT to whitelist Google's official blogs and no other Blogspot-hosted blogs.

There's your problem. If you listen in a noisy environment, reencode your collection to 96-128 kbps Vorbis overnight.

That's fine for people who drive, but I can't think of anyone who's willing to switch from public transit to a car just to charge a phone.

Unless "Lime Pie" has been pushed out to the L release.

Say you have a laptop with a 9 to 10" screen, 1024x600 pixels in size. These "netbooks" were popular before the third-generation iPad came out, and I'm typing on one now. You could double the linear pixel density on the same size screen, increasing pixel count to 1920x1080. That'd make text clearer, but that wouldn't buy you any more room for text or graphics because the eye has trouble reading text that's too small. If you increase the specs (specifications), you need to increase the specs (reading glasses) in parallel.

One advantage of a laptop is that it's a lot easier to type on a physical keyboard than on the touch screen of a tablet. Android 4.3 "Jelly Bean 3" broke a lot of external Bluetooth keyboards, including the ZAGGkeys Flex that I own. I haven't had a chance to download 4.4 "KitKat" to my Nexus 7 yet (OS update check said "up to date" two and a half hours ago) to see if it's been fixed.

True, one can use Xbox 360 controllers or USB HID controllers with a PC. But I was under the impression that PCs still tend to be connected to much smaller monitors than game consoles, making it harder to fit two to four people around one screen.

CD mastering applies a low-pass filter with transition band 20-22 kHz before 44.1 kHz sampling. This ensures that the only lost data is data that the human ear has no chance to hear anyway. The advantage of CD is that the loss occurs at one well-defined point.

Analog isn't lossless either. After taking into account vinyl surface noise, there's more usable bit depth on CD than on vinyl.

If each 2 to 1 HDMI switch adds the equivalent of one port, how many such switches can be daisy chained without causing loss of picture?

Yes, games, unless you want to have to carry both an Android phone and a 3DS.

Apple had the lead for the first eight months of 1984, I'll grant. But Hercules already had a 720x352 monochrome card out, and in September 1984, IBM introduced the Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) with 640x350 pixel 16 color graphics.

Do they have "cramming" in countries where Nokia feature phones are popular? Here in the United States, if the carrier detects you putting a voice-only SIM in a phone with a smartphone IMEI, the carrier will automatically subscribe you to a data plan.

So long as there's an X server app that works with HDMI out and a Bluetooth keyboard to turn the touch screen into a trackpad and run desktop apps when plugged into TV out, that should be close enough.
