Leader and teacher of Team 7, consisting of the series' primary characters, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki. He is initially portrayed as a detached and apathetic figure, but as the series progresses, his loyalty to his friends and students becomes increasingly apparent. Kakashi's past has been extensively explored in the series, resulting in a gaiden being devoted to his past experiences. ]]> Posting Games ahihihi... http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread215446.html News Story Is Sony a Linux killer? http://www.daniweb.com/news/story220780.html Sun, 30 Aug 2009 11:07:28 GMT Most people welcomed the news (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry4642.html) that the Sony PlayStation 3 was slimming down, both in physical size and in terms of off the shelf pricing.

Most people welcomed the news that the Sony PlayStation 3 was slimming down, both in physical size and in terms of off the shelf pricing. The Linux crowd are not so impressed however.

According to SCE president and CEO Kazuo Hirai, the PS3 slim is some 36 percent lighter and 32 percent smaller than the original PS3 but retains the Blu-ray player along with a 120GB hard drive. What it has got rid of, according to reports, is the option to run Linux under an Install Other OS option that is available on the fat PS3.

Who cares, you might be thinking. After all, it's just a games console and the number of users who will be fiddling with the thing to install any kind of Linux on to it has to be fairly small in the scheme of things. Well, yes, maybe. But the small number of researchers who have been using the PS3 Cell processor by running Linux and creating PS3 clusters to further their research on a budget will see it as a big loss.

A (since deleted) forum post on an official Sony PlayStation website stated:

"In order to offer the OtherOS install, SCE would need to continue to maintain the OtherOS hypervisor drivers for any significant hardware changes - this costs SCE. One of our key objectives with the new model is to pass on cost savings to the consumer with a lower retail price. Unfortunately in this case the cost of OtherOS install did not fit with the wider objective to offer a lower cost PS3."

Oh well, maybe those researchers had better start saving up for a $35 million, 1.6 petaflops, Cell processor powered IBM RoadRunner supercomputer instead. ]]> Posting Games happygeek http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread220780.html News Story Is the average gamer really depressed, fat and chasing forty? http://www.daniweb.com/news/story220759.html Mon, 24 Aug 2009 21:18:27 GMT I am, it appears, a lot more average than I hoped.

I am, it appears, a lot more average than I hoped. Well, at least when it comes to the world of computer gaming. A new study reveals, amongst other things, that the profile of the average gamer looks a lot less like the hyperactive, cola drinking teen obsessed with kicking alien ass. In fact, it reckons, your average gamer looks a lot more like me: 35 and fed up.

Not that I am a perfect match, I will admit, as I don't consider myself to be overly aggressive (your average gamer is) nor introverted (I'm more of an Andrew WK 'Party Hard' type of guy) or even particularly overweight, so there is hope for me yet to escape the bondage of being average after all.

But then again it turns out that not only is the study based on data from 2006, but the original survey carried out in 2006 was restricted to just 552 people who lived in the Seattle, Washington. Which leaves me wondering just how representative of your average gamer the report really is. Mind you, it also concludes that playing video games is bad for your health and that many gamers show multiple signs of addiction. Nothing new in that opinion, of course, people have been telling us that gaming is bad for you for years. But there is also nothing new in this report that makes me take that particular opinion any the more seriously either, so I'll continue playing and getting older I think. ]]> Posting Games newsguy http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread220759.html
