Who cares, if the OOP is fast?

I ordered early 2009. I'm happy to report no negative side effects from the wait. :lol:

Amen! :)

Hey now, show some respect! Firefox got all the vendors to get their butts in gear! :P I don't think Firefox sucks. It has a lot of capabilities that slow it down. It's rather like linux. I wouldn't say linux sucked because [other streamlined OS] is faster. ;) It just might not suit your exact...

Was this one of those auto-generated complaint posts? I remember someone linking to a website that would generate complaints strikingly similar sounding to this one... Edit: Oh, nevermind. Watched the vid. :P

I really don't care, to be honest. Bring on the dozens of duplicate static libs! Hey, it works for Windows, so why not? Virtually every game stuffs dozens of dll files into its directory. :lol: As long as you have an 8GB-32GB card, it should be a non issue. :)

You Keylog between the keyboard and the motherboard. :P I'm not 100% certain, but if I recall correctly, AVR security works like this: The secure regions act as fully functioning core inside the chip, with a limited amount of flash storage also inside the chip. The difference is, it has no...

I've never had an issue with the cables, though. I've got a lot of 100FT CAT5e monster cables going all around my home. But since I get OEM pricing on that stuff (cheaper than the cheapest generic cable on eBay), price has never bugged me. Ahh, so they're a trademark troll? ;)

Atmel AVR CPUs can take it one step further. Some have irretrievable regions, where you can dump passwords and executable code. You need an electron microscope to breaking into those. ;) You could try to brute-force the password(which is laughable - the secure region would notice the attempt...

This is correct, and yet not for the reason expected. Most uninstalled programs leave stuff in the registry. This is bad, but doesn't affect performance on Windows. (Okay, it does, but 16MB vs 32MB is something like a 2% performance drop) What hits performance the worst is programs that don't...

What's wrong with monster cables? :huh:

Yeah, I remember having ludicrous framerates too. On my Athlon XP, it was in the hundreds, with 8xAA enabled. :lol: Lots of games are CPU-bound. Two examples: Warcraft III, Left4Dead That doesn't make them "software rendering". ;)

I have quite large hands. I wonder if that's why I love the N64 controller so much? :lol: The PS1's controller was pretty small, but it worked fine for me too.

Are you sure about that? I know many games from that era used Software rendering as a fallback, but almost all of them had some form of acceleration available. The ones that didn't had a reason - such as being voxel-based games.

I just went for a P3200. Since I'm not a controller nut, all I can say is... it works fine? :huh: Honestly, my favourite controller was the N64 one. All these new controllers with dual analog sticks are strange. ^_^ But since PC P3200's are available for about $8 each, I can't complain.

Very well put! The DS actually has less processing power than just about every phone I know of. Certainly doesn't stop it!

Yeah, some card reader controllers use signed ints. They get messed up pretty bad.

Go Atmel if you want touchscreen crud. :lol: Source: Some marketing video I watched.

Classes don't really make any sense. If you were to assign a Class to the Pandora's RAM, it'd be Class 64, because the Pandora has over 64MB of RAM, right? ;) Really doesn't give the whole picture. I went with A-DATA 16GB Class6, and got > 10.5MB/sec read/write speeds. If you want ultimate...

As long as it's a virus. If your program is stand-alone, though - like most games - then you can package all the required libs in the pnd, and it's just drag'n'drop "installation".
