Cobras! The Simpsons is such a great show.
I am not very happy with the results for today, but here they are. I haven`t been drawing as much this month as I would like (which is to say, barely enough to get a comic out the door). But with the holiday season, a bit of overtime at work and some other real-life “intrusions”, I simply can`t make drawing a high enough priority right now. Besides, I have it on good authority that I am getting a tablet for Christmas, so I don`t feel motivated to get ahead of myself.
I must say, I do so enjoy the comments on Slashdot. Half the crowd is illiterate (and I don`t mean they misspel the occasional word or have some minor grammatical issues) and half of them think they know far more than they do. The best is when the two groups intersect. Hi-larious. This is not to say I know enough about half of the topics that come up to make a coherent argument, but the flip side of that coin is you don`t see me posting. Slashdot, I don`t read you for the “news”. I read you for the depths of the Internet which you dredge onto your filthy, public fora.
Apparently, the current games only use half of the PS3`s power. I don`t think anyone is surprised that the first games for a console aren`t quite showing the console`s full potential, but here`s a bit of shocking news:
No one will use 100% of the PS3
. Ever.
Was that meant literally? If so, duh — The games would run too slowly in intense parts, and it still wouldn`t use 100% in the slack parts. If it`s figurative, well, sure, it has a lot of potential with firmware updates.
Potentially
, it could be used as
an ignition source.
Potentially.
I didn`t actually try to verify that last one, but we`re just spitballing here. The point is, sure, you`ll probably ALWAYS find another way to make it better. Maybe in a decade it will be able to properly render CSS 3.0. It will probably beat all the PC browsers to that feat, since CSS
turned 10 today
and most browsers still barely get 1.0 right. The point is you can pretty much always update it. Again, even if it`s figurative, it`s still a “duh” statement. Heck, even the Nintendo Entertainment System has a small following, and the old Ataris have even more amateur (and I`m sure, in some cases, professional) engineers tinkering with them.
I am quite underwhelmed.
Though, in Wii news, the
forecast channel
was released today, and we`re getting the Opera browser, for free until March, on Friday. I fear that, with all the excitement, next Monday`s Virtual Console release will be even more underwhelming than usual.
