Anyway.
Both Firefox and Thunderbird have built-in RSS feed readers.
Trunk versions of the Suite should also have RSS feed readers now after the landing of FF/TB (1.8 was branched before the landing; 1.9 will be the first branch with the new features).

I've been thinking more and more (uh oh) about game reviews and gaming news.

I haven't been satisfied with most reviews I've seen. They don't seem to mention what I deem important.

1. Game installation media/method.
2. Copy Protection methods
3. Save Game method
4. Save game destination
4. Game size/# of media.
5. Problems with games due to distribution method: Has anyone but me wondered why no game review mentioned STEAM in a bad way? (Well we all know why...$$$$) but in EVERY review that I have read it's all been praises....no disparaging remarks at all.
3. Which API? Opengl/DX
4. Game Engine used
5. Sound engine used

I'd like to tie all this up into my Game Compatibility list. Problem is I have my hands full just testing compatibility......which means by the time I focus on the things I listed above it will be 2050.

As for RSS....that would be a cool thing for VOGONS to have....along with a main site (RSS eats up too much bandwidth tho). Once I get a job Id even like to provide some of the $$ depending on if I get a good enough job or not.

Snover: Interesting - I'll have to keep an eye on that site

DosFreak: RSS wouldn't mean much for a forum (i.e. VOGONS), unless someone wants to tag noteworthy threads or something. And I would argue that RSS can actually save bandwidth if implemented correctly because everyone could download just the titles of articles and then load only ones of interest instead of loading a whole page with summaries of all recent articles (like most news sites have for their main HTML page).

And what's with your avatar? Is it a coincidence or did you change it because of my post? 😀

Nah, changed it 'cause I got tired of the ugly Vogon look. Kept on getting questions from people wanting to know if I was the Dosfreak from 3Dfiles. Found that pic in my stash that I'd saved from a thread on 3dfiles that was discussing the possibility of making a 3dfiles OS. heh.

I don't use an RSS reader but I use RSS to incorporate headlines into my group's web site.

Oh baby, these pages are so lean and mean that the XML overhead of a feed is probably the same as the overhead from the XHTML. 😉
(Okay, not. But still. It's possible to do an RSS feed of the last n threads pretty easily, but I don't know how useful it would really be...)
