Wonders why the internet Blames the Victim and not the Criminal

The friends list takes long to load – if you have over 50 friends, your friends list can take a while to load, in addition, it takes some time for their online status to refresh. One way to solve this problem is to cache the list and reload it as needed. Currently, it seems that the list is loaded fresh every time the console is started.

(reason for the load - someone can remove you from their friends list - system calls home first to determine if list is still correct)

KZ had sold 2 million copies by
july 2005 (with a further 350-500k since)

yeah Princess Maker has been around for a long time... and no it is not a hentai title (or even etchi ... unless you try real real hard to make it that)
The idea is to bring the girl up to adulthood and set her on here way as the best possible person you can make her...

Never heard a sound on getting a trophy but a pop up like you get when someone comes online occurs

was up for less then 3 hours before it was pulled

Playstation Edge is not what the fake poster put up but a set of development tools that was released to developers in 2006.
So no the trophy system has no discounts attached
but it does have in home trophies attached and games that utilize home may use entitlements which are items for home that you get because you purchased the game (only 1 per game - serial number - so rentals do not help)

Who the hell cares?

(again I hate the trophy system)
/shrug I guess someone does cares or they would not have spent the time and created such a site

The issue is not really raytracing but that gains are no longer easily accessible to basic single processor development.
The design of chips is now at a point that things like electron tunneling and other quantum effects make it harder to create a denser circuit. Higher Speeds = Higher Temps on small spaces = Thermo break down etc...
The way to get performance improvements with modern computer theory is covered by three real options since the traditional Moore's law style appro...

that would be the correct interpretation ^_-

I hate that argument that Sony is not a software company.

They have way more software developer employees then Microsoft has in it's respective gaming divisions .
They develop software for almost all their hardware (from TVs to Fridges to Blu-ray players - they all have software embedded or not).
They are well know in the Software Engineering Field for having less then 1/4 of the bugs per 1000 lines of code of Microsoft for similar feature sets.

They mean nothing other then bragging rights... and is playing a game worth bragging about?

I really am not sure myself. I tend to be against pointless reward systems so maybe I am overally negative.

Yep... the change from single core and naive multiprocessing to massively parallel is going to kill off a lot of the old guard who were something back in the day but haven't adapted.

Adapt or Die - there is no stopping.

I myself am afraid of quantum computing... I don't understand Qbits enough so if that replaces traditional gates /shudder

"So my point is this- Cell based computers (sans the ps3) will NEVER become mainstream if no OS's are written for the Cell's unique architecture."

yep that is why it is not in current computers - but there is a fairly excellent linux distro (partially) that supports it and AUX does as well (fully) so do not be surprised to see a EEE unix based type palmtop or some such that uses a cell processor in the future (not to distant)

This is so true:
"What people don’t realize, and I really wish they would, is that Sony aren’t a bunch of technological wizards. They can’t just magic up an in-game XMB out of thin air, or pull it out of a hat. I don’t want to sound like some sort of extremist fanboy here leaping to Sony’s defense as if I’m taking a bullet for the President. I’m trying to look at this situation from a relatively neutral viewpoint. I too have felt a teeny-weeny bit aggravated by the slow rate at wh...

Hmmm it looks to me that it should trump prototype fairly well. Haven't yet seen it in person though... maybe next month.

no quite a bit different.

most multicore processors (and massive parallel systems) have turing complete processors as subprocessors - most GPU subcores are not turing complete.

Cell is different from regular PC architecture. That is true. But as with any good processor it can have programs that replicate everything a Traditional processor (multithreaded or not) does.

We have been saying all along that processors would lean toward the Cell design and that schools need to be teaching students how to handle this (of course we have found many PhDs don't understand it) and so we have been aggressively trying to get teachers to learn and to put out a significan...

hold off for a week or two... MGS4 is almost assuredly one that can and will be trophy compliant. (and getting the big boss trophy has to be worth a Gold trophy)

plat only if you get every other trophy....
