<0> yea remember back when there was sega genesis?
<0> where youd shoot the little laser guns at the screen?
<1> I'm not talking about that
<0> nintendo superscope?
<0> ringing any bells?
<0> lol
<0> same idea
<1> wow your really not thinking this one through :
<0> lies
<2> oh great
<2> more patches
<1> heh
<1> security update or something?
<3> now he works!
<0> patched.
<0> youre not thinking this one through rukk
<3> aww
<0> the controller isint everything
<0> you need the software, the hardware
<2> actually I got a better one
<0> its all the reasons why consoles arent as good as pcs
<1> obviously
<1> if you had read what I was saying..
<1> you would understand I was talking about full virtual reality gaming
<1> at which point I dont care if its a console or what running it.
<0> mmm they sell stereo 3d gl***es for pc now
<0> theyre ****ing stupid
<0> its the same idea
<0> old technologies recycled
<3> aww
<0> what makes you think it will be any better?
<1> ..
<1> omg :\
<0> with this Wii ****?
<1> ok, forget it,
<0> k
<1> your obviously not intelligent enough to comprehend this conversation :|
<0> lol
<0> suppose not
<2> most people who ask questions in here aren't intelligent enough to put together their own computer
<0> I dont ask questions in here, I usually help people
<0> and i just built a new rig last week
<1> Fidelity_: I'm not necessarily talking about the wii
<1> I'm talking about something probably 10-15 years down the road
<1> that will actually be immersive
<0> i see
<0> well by that time
<0> it will probably be available for pc too :)
<0> i suppose we can do better than keyboard and mouse
<0> but the wii controller isint it
<1> either that, or the entire notion of a "pc" as such will have dissapeared.
<1> which seems more likely to me
<0> dont think thats happening anytime soon
<1> you might be surprised
<0> what will take its place?
<0> consoles?
<0> lol
<2> sigh
<1> look how much hardware cost 10 years ago.
<1> now look how much it costs today
<2> I support rukk, you're obviously not intelligent enough for this conversation
<1> think about 10 years down the road.
<0> ok so something must replace it
<1> it will be cheaper to make specialized hardware for individual tasks and put just the required software on it than to have this great big powerful all-in-one machine
<0> pc's cant just fade out
<0> hmmmm
<1> not to mention the fact that portable **** is going to just keep getting bigger and bigger.
<1> all your communication will probaby take place through something about the size of a "tablet" PC in a few years.
<2> Fidelity_ doesn't understand the concept of electronics
<1> if nt something smaller
<0> shadow shut the hell up
<2> Fidelity_: no seriously, you don't
<0> all your doing is making pointless insults against me
<2> connect a microchip to a battery and you got yourself a computer
<2> a desktop machine is a concept, not a must have
<1> you can get nice little chips now that have everything onboard
<0> i realize this
<2> so is a laptop by the way
<1> ram, flash memory, processor, input/output :)
<0> but in this age, its more of a must have
<1> right now it is
<1> but realisticaly
<0> and I believe that its not going to change down the road
<1> if the price of the tech drops enough, they will be close to obsolete
<2> they are obsolete
<1> you'll still want one for **** like development
<2> unless you're a power user you can get by on an Inspiron 1100
<1> so they will actually probably be worth MORE
<1> ****, if the newer palmtops were a little better designed, 90% of computer users could just use those and be happy :X
<0> well i just dont ever want to see the day where I cant build my own rig, i cant tweak it, play cutting edge games on it
<0> :(
<1> eh
<2> you obviously don't know how to build laptops
<1> realisiticaly
<1> your just getting in on the tail end of computers as such.
<0> ?
<1> I miss the pentium 2 days :(
<1> those were REAL computers :\
<0> heh
<2> rukk: actually REAL was when you bought a box of transistors and started soldering away
<1> well, that too
<1> too bad that was well before I was born :(
<2> computers right now are just complex lego projects
<1> not even that complex
<1> hah
<2> and have been ever since the IBM PC
<2> a monkey could be trained to ***emble pcs
<1> sure
<1> it'll actually improve though
<2> it's just too bad you can't make a multi-layered pcb on your own
<2> well.. ok you can, but it's a pain
<1> real hardware people will be able to build themselfs custom mobile computers
<2> the real problem will be getting a multi-layered pcb
<1> no, you'll buy the pcbs :\
<1> and the chips, and everything else
<1> and solder it all together
<2> hopefully
<0> i just think there are too many people that enjoy pcs, depend on pcs, and work with pcs
<0> for them to just fade out
<2> Fidelity_: it's called progress
<1> that, or it will be all pre***embled. which is more likely :x
<2> you don't see many monastaries pumping out hand written bibles anymore do you?
<2> we eliminated those in the 1500s
<1> Fidelity_: do you know how incredibly quickly the gasoline powered motorcar eclipsed the horse as the primary mode of transportation?
<1> EVERYBODy relied on horses, then a few years later.. not anymore.
<0> yea but youre just replacing something old with something more efficient
<0> it does the same thing
<0> just better...
<1> exactly.
<1> took the words out of my mouth.
<0> but then computers would just be replaced with something out
<0> else*
<1> ..
<0> not just a bunch of specialized devices
<1> thats exactly what we've been saying
<2> personally I think we need 1) A new chip architecture 2) A new hardware standard 3) A new os
<1> yeah
<2> Fidelity_ STILL doesn't get it
<1> nope :)
<0> :)
<2> there's nothing called "specialized" in the electronics field
<1> he's clinging to a ideology that is very rapidly becoming obsolete
<2> it's all a bunch of electrical components
<0> I get it now.
<0> lol
<1> it was a lovely thought, and began propogating itsself in the 70s.
<1> that you could make a machine that would do everything and anything
<1> because it was m***ively complex to do so
