You're right, you two are the first and only people to have said that :rolleyes:

Nice. Go Wikipedia!

No, Sega Mega Drive = Sega Genesis. They used the name Genesis in the U.S. and Mega Drive in (most of) the rest of the world.

The OP's problem (other than a nasty attitude: "pissheads party games machine") is that he's on the wrong side of the Atlantic. In the U.S., the NES (and Nintendo) was something of a cultural phenomenon through the last half of the 80s. That carried over to the SNES, but declined for the N64...

In 2000, the very mainstream media (notably USA Today and Time) played a big role in hyping the PS2. Six years later, they're not nearly as excited about its successor. Obviously, the [H] Console forum isn't their target audience for this article. The article is for Joe 20something, who...

If it sells systems and improves gameplay, they (as well as Sony and everybody else) certainly will copy the Wiimote. The whole home console industry has followed whenever anybody (usually Nintendo) proves out a good controller idea, like: D-pad (Nintendo) Shoulder Buttons (Nintendo)...

Computation (aka Computing Science or Computer Science) differs greatly from Information Technology. Look into both closely (curriculum and career opportunities) and you may find that only one appeals to you. I've never heard of Neumont University before (not surprising, as I don't get out...

Try Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels. That's the nearest I can think of.

As of May 2006, the total number of DTV (EDTV + HDTV) units sold was around 35 million. About 85% of these, or ~30 million were HDTV units (720p, 1080i, and/or 1080p capable). cite If you assume that every unit ever sold is still working (0% breakage), that no household owns 2 or more HDTVs...

I'm thankful that you can't do it. Consider: document.navbar.write("https://citibank.com/login/");

I think part of the OP's problem is that he's in Europe. Regarding home consoles, Nintendo typically hasn't sold well in Europe (and hasn't supported Europe particularly well either). With the Wii, they've cut down the release delay down to 3-4 weeks (compared to 6 months for N64 and...

In the C++ standard, string literals have a special exemption from the ordinary const-preserving rules. The type of a string literal (i.e. "xyz") is "“array of n const char” and static storage duration" (C++ 1998 standard, 2.13.4/1). String literals get a special case conversion which...

Why do you have to code it in C++?

First, clarify your problem statement. It sounds like you have a pile of image files in some format and you want to convert them to another format (JPEG). If that's the case, it's a 2-step process. 1. Get a program that converts one file to JPEG 2. Write a script to wrap that up...

If we're lucky, we'll get a new-user-who-totally-doesn't-work-for-them-but-just-happened-to-have-a-very-good-experience-with-their-completely-not-fake-products who will vouch for their great products, service, etc... I seem to recall that a few popped up here a couple of years ago, but I...
