Or, you can make this "floor tracking" so difficult and circumventable that people start to question it and decide that new pair of shiny shoes doesn't deserve the added hassle of walking in them. There's that producer o

That's not what GP was saying. They were saying that given two websites, one that doesn't track and one that does, the one that doesn't would have a better user experience as a side effect, which would give it a competitive a

If you like the music from the Sonic the Hedgehog games, and you like to hear arrangements of video game music, I suggest you take a listen to Opus Science Collective's album Zoned[0]. It's basically a concept album based on Sonic

I'd say the "new" technical challenge for those so inclined is 64k demos and such. Also there's still a lot of people who make demos for the old platforms, like the c64, Amiga, Gameboy... Take a look on http://
