in Google to introduce new OS Post #269766
They're talking about web applications, which any OS can already run in the first place. I don't know how extreme it will be, but it seems as if Google is trying to remove desktop applications entirely. Which, of course, is problematic, especially since they're targeting netbooks, which might not always have an internet connection.

in Google to introduce new OS Post #269752
Holy misinformation, Batman!

Firstly:
Anyway, cool. I assume they'll make it so every software that's designed for Windows will work under chrome OS.
If you read it you would know that's true :)
It's based on the Linux kernel, meaning that it will NOT run Windows applications, any better than Linux currently does.
Finally, we have a realistic option for operating system.

Maybe we shouldn't even worry about Windows 7.

Chrome may kill Windows once and for all.
Jumping the gun a little? It's basically another distro of Linux, much like Ubuntu. Nothing to see here.
Standard 32bit systems run 4GB just fine, I am right now...
64bit is for when you want 8GB, although I guess the Alienware "ALX X58" can run up to 24GB so... but it is an Alienware.
32-bit XP supports maximum 4GB memory including video memory and any additional memory floating around, like integrated video cards, for example. Most installs of XP max out at around 3.5GB. 64-bit supports much more than 4GB, but Windows puts a limit on to make the user upgrade to a more expensive version to use more RAM. The hardware doesn't change anything, so the fact that a computer setup runs 24GB of RAM ultimately doesn't mean anything.
Man, it looks like Google wants to be another Microsoft!
I think Google is the polar opposite of Microsoft. While MS wants to keep everything on the desktop, Google wants everything in the browser.

Minefield is the codename for any nightly version of Firefox (as in, compiled from the daily source code changes). So, vs49688, you ARE using Firefox.

To whoever likes Opera because of the wand tool, there's about a million Firefox add-ons that do the same thing (and probably better.)
I don't like the idea so I couldn't recommend one, but they're around.

But whatever. People will always have favourite browsers that work best for them.

Why does it have to be different physically? 3.5 has some stability and memory use fixes, faster javascript engine, more HTML5 support, private browsing, etc etc. If every new version had to have a major, noticeable change, then it wouldn't be very user friendly, in terms of consistency.

Oh, Wikipedia says that it's in Australia too. I've never heard of it. Also, lulz:
Despite its theme, Outback Steakhouse serves American cuisine, with Creole influences.
So just another thing pretending to be Australian. Also, it'd be difficult to find a place in Australia with boomerangs and shit on the walls (that isn't a tourist joint.)

Internet is where the people of other countries go to die. When they get so old that nobody wants them anymore, they fall into the Lake of Memes, where their rotting corpses are worshipped by a small group of devout nitwits.

Internet is split into two states: East and West. They are connected by The Information Superhighway, the largest and most violent bridge known to man.

in Rooms (mini co-op project) Post #268347
I tested the intro map - when the map changed, I was stuck and couldn't move. Jumping straight to the second map worked, though. Also, the first map is pointless and silly, as Valve has nothing to do with the mod itself. Either remove the whole map, or remove the humungous "VALVE" billboard and replace it with something more TWHL-y.

Yes, you can block off areas after the player has gone through them if it helps with gameplay. Just make sure that it isn't blocked off to start with.

Nice idea, but I don't like the copy-paste aspect of it. Try to write the code yourself if the explanations are good enough, you'll learn much more.

I know a decent amount of stuff about OpenGL and SDL myself so feel free to ask if you're on IRC or something.

You could also take a look at 2D Boy's Rapid Prototyping Framework, which already has done the engine for you.

Possibly you're right. I probably should have mentioned the installed user-base instead. Natal or Sony's motion thing won't really kick off that much, I think, because Nintendo did it first. And usually the case is that if you get in first, it doesn't matter if somebody does it better.
