Manuals are great if you know the API you want to call and need to know the details. They aren't good if you don't know the API, or even if one exists. Or if the problem you're debugging is more complex than just "passed the wrong parameter to this function".

Trade Wars was a daily staple for me. I eventually got a GUI that could automate tasks like firing probes to map the universe, exploiting profitable trading pairs, and... I don't remember what else it could do, lol.

That game was definitely an inspiration for many that came after. It wouldn't surprise me if EVE devs played TW back in the day.

where's the pr0n

But if relatives came forth with authentic requests for petition, etc would homeland security stand down

These are TDK as advertised in vintage Bladerunner laserdisc

They're brilliant at making games. They have their suite of exclusives that people love and will buy the console for. And they keep a consistently high quality bar for those games. Even the worst Mario game was still good. Same for Zelda. Same for Metroid. As long as they keep that the case, and their consoles are reasonably priced they'll sell. Which, combined with cheaper parts, is why they generally made a profit per console rather than a loss.

Xbox and PS don't have that. They used to each have some exclusives- but they've gone away from that road due to the high cost of creating them (Nintendo's focus on gameplay over high end graphics also reduced the cost of making a game). Even the exclusives they do have don't have the reputation for quality- they tend to run hot and cold. And MS in particular has waffled between wanting to push xbox vs PC gaming, reducing the number of exclusives as they launch on PC. It leaves them in a place where there's no driver for their new product other than better graphics quality. And with the economy tightening, that's something that will be dropped first.

Add a holodeck feature soI can visualize the man cave remodel for the zombie apocalypse

Would you prefer Doctor liqu1d or just liqu1d?

what's WE?
Whatever.

the bike shed he was thinking of is underground with no windows. I think it's a fallout shelter, or safehouse, or mom's basement. Snap out of it , you're reading Slashdot

my wristwatch (a personal preference), and the dash clock. Those aren't hooked up to Big Brother, although the dash has the OnStar logo, there was no commitment from either party, and it's far from being the last Saab

I'm a little fuzzy on the good-bad thing.
Define 'bad'.

They didn't call it Snapdragon, for nothing. with random messages like You think you're better than me?

That would require him considering women as human beings rather than objects to fuck. He isn't capable of that.
