The 3DS is within a few mm in dimensions of the DS Lite. What would a "DS Lite-style" 3DS look like?

by agrona 13y ago
I am assuming this is a serious comment. The answer is no, the 3DS is significantly different on the inside (processor, RAM, NAND) than a DS (or DSi). The IPL is also significantly better (and is even OS-like). And there's a store. Nb:

I appreciated that Republia shows up in Papers, Please. Didn't realize they were the same author. OT a bit: I remember reading the code and turning my nose up at some of the implementation specifics. But then I remembered that he'

John Cook has some interesting material on testing PRNGs in his chapter for the book Beautiful Testing. His material is (was?) online free, here: http://www.johndcook.com/blog/2010/12/06/how-to-test-a-ran

IANAL, but as I understand it, in order for the courts to consider this a "true threat", the government must prove (beyond reasonable doubt) that the it was intended to be taken seriously (the subjective test), or a reasonable per

To be clear, my coworker doesn't run thisiswhyimbroke, but a site with a similar layout. It's a little extra money in his pocket, but not something profitable or rewarding enough to do full time. (He also has a few other attempts that don't

I think I've only ever seen this from banks or medical organizations, where the annoyance is a little more acceptable. I'd much rather they send me an (encrypted) e-mail, but I understand why they can't.

This is the first I've heard of the Deccan Traps. Interestingly, they're "almost" on the opposite side of the globe from the Chicxulub impact (21'N 90'W to 17'N 77'E). I wonder if their formation or activity might have been caused by the im

This is all to true in a lot of cases. I regret there aren't more organizations like the Center for Class Action Fairness who object to ridiculous terms where lawyers just "cash out", often leaving the class with very little. http://center

I suspect the author means viable for video games, not software. I don't have any proof of this, just the dearth of large-budget games make their way to Mac.

I'm generally not one to get excited about the concept of gamification. However, I thought the variable reward stuff was novel and interesting (and obvious, in hindsight).

One of the reviews mention android, which is apparently where the prototype is. It's unclear to me, though: is this only for iOS now?

gdb is one of those tools that I regret never learning because I've always had an IDE. I was able to follow the examples here well enough, but the array assignment causes gdb to crash in Cygwin. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to o
