The PS3/4 games aren't particularly challenging either -- the difficulty, if any, mostly stems from wrestling with the floaty controls. They don't have infinite lives, but you get a set number of lives per checkpoint, and there are enough checkpoints that you'll rarely, if ever, fail a level. There's also multi-player sections of levels, and special challenge levels.

Also, there's the level building features of the games that many people probably spend the majority of their time. Oh, and user-created levels can be more challenging, of course.

I like the games for their whimsy, the art style, and their heart-warming presentation.

It does happen from time to time. I had an on-site interview that went well. My last interview was with the CEO and founder of the medium-sized company, and he said, "If you've made it this far, you basically have the job." One week later I got rejected via email from a woman in HR I had never met or talked to. Sadly, I'll never know the full story.

This is actually an excellent explanation. Thanks!

Does anyone know if SkyOS ever had a "release" on a professionally printed CD/DVD? I can't seem to find actual evidence of this -- only the ability to download/burn a SkyOS Live CD.

Mod parent up. This is my biggest concern too -- setting/continuing the premise that it's totally ok and expected that products have arbitrary artificial lifetimes.

Thank you good sir. I don't understand why people keep thinking GCN/PS2/etc used OpenGL.

Cafe Macs is great, but yes, ridiculously crowded at noon -- better get there by 11:30 if you want a table.

And that BJ's has got to go -- bland food and below average beer for exorbitant prices in a dull setting

Mod AC parent up. Steve certainly was at Apple and worked on Quicktime, but I wouldn't call him the "creator" of Quicktime.

I completely agree. The touch-screen panel reminds me of the BMW iDrive system -- it's technically neat, but flawed in practice. I'd rather not be touching buttons on a touch screen or dialing around to navigate menus while driving for my own (and others') safety.
