It's not so much the software that they need to mimic but more so the hardware. They have to emulate the hardware to be able to run the instructions on a different cpu/gpu/audio architecture than what the game was built for. That's why it takes a much more powerful system to emulate a much weaker system.

Because it comes with the emulator, compatibility modules and anything else specifically the game may need to be able to run in the emulator.

they are not porting. microsoft has explicitly said they are emulating.

"We have to do packaging and validation work on each title to make it available through Xbox One backward compatibility," explains a Microsoft spokesperson.

Xbox One Backward Compatibility is an Xbox 360 emulator that runs on Xbox One and is used to play Xbox 360 games," says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge.

this is incorrect. according to microsoft they are running emulation.

Behind the scenes, Microsoft has built a full Xbox 360 emulator for its Xbox One console. "Xbox One Backward Compatibility is an Xbox 360 emulator that runs on Xbox One and is used to play Xbox 360 games," says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge.

the package they are sending when you insert the disc is a container that contains the xbox emulator, any media assets, the game and compatibility stuff that is needed.

that's a good question. in my experience drowning often looks like a person standing straight up and down with their legs straight and still and their arms reached out wide to their sides. head tilted back to try and get their mouth above the surface. they kind of look like they are trying to fly to up to bird mom for a bite of food.

its ridiculous looking and absolutely terrible as a self preservation technique.

i'd be willing to bet if many people trying to save themselves kicked their legs a couple times they'd have a much better chance at survival on their own. but they don't, they forget about their legs and try to fly.

one guy i jumped in after went about a foot or two under water, stretched his arms out and flapped them up and down. his down stroke was never enough to bring his head above the water and his up stroke was enough to undo the little his down stroke did. he looked like a fishing bobber bouncing up and down under the surface as a fish nibbled off the bait. i had been watching that particular guy as he waited in line for a diving board, got to the front of the line, climbed up the couple steps, looked around then got back down. he did that 2 or 3 times before he got the courage to actually jump. when i noticed him doing it i did a quick chirp over to the guard in the boat and gave him a sign that signaled i was watching someone and would likely be going in after them.

My story is much like yours. My mother was a stay-at-home Mom. She made extra income by sitting for a few kids after school and during the summer. During the summers we spent everyday at the pool. Took swim lessons from as early as I can remember. Became a lifeguard at the same pool I grew up at when I turned 16 and came back every year until I was 22.

During my years as a guard, I had roughly 100 "saves." Most were inner-city males, bused in a few times a month.

I'll never forget my first save. Its one of the few I really honestly consider a save and not just proactively going in after someone before it became a real issue. It was around 7:45PM, the pool was about to close and people were starting to leave. She was about 3 years old carrying a beach ball larger than her above her head. A strong gust of wind blew the beach ball from her hands and into the deepend of the pool and she ran right after it and into the water. She went straight down to the bottom. I watched the whole thing happen in what seemed to be maybe 3 or 4 seconds. Soon as she went in, I went in after her. Pulled her out and got her to the side and before her dad even realized what happened. I doubt she even realized what happened. Her dad couldn't stop thanking me for saving his little girl.

My most terrifying save was on St. Rita's Day, which is a school in Cincinnati for the Deaf. It was one of my first days guarding the pool and a deaf guy and his two deaf daughters went up a slide in the shallow end of the pool. When they got to their turn he put one girl in each arm and sat down. I tried and tried to whistle at them to get their attention. When I finally did it was too late and they had started going down the slide. No sooner did they leave the gated area did they fall over the side about 15 feet into 3 foot water. He landed standing and still holding onto the girls. I jumped in and rushed over to them. His arm had broken when he tried to grab the gate to prevent his fall. I didn't know sign language at the time so I couldn't really communicate with him which made the situation even worse. We were lucky though, we did have one girl who was pretty good and was able to talk to him, ask him and the girls if they were ok. The girls were fine but after his adrenaline had calmed a bit and we got him out of the water we noticed he had also broken one of his legs in the fall. As far as I am aware, that was the last St Rita's day we had.

My son is now 3 and I have already started teaching him how to swim. I vow to never have to worry about him in the water.

My wife jokes about how I act near pools and bodies of water. Always scanning, always counting, always watching for signs of a weak swimmer and I always will. Its part of me.

yes and good for them.

that's cool but what are you using to create these on the go?

right and this makes me sad since my neo doesn't include and cant upgrade to include u2f ;\

and why wouldnt they? android is just linux at heart and many usb kernel drivers have been built in for a very long time.

i think many people are missing this key point. this isn't a "i need this right this very millisecond" its more of a "i need this later today if its early enough or tomorrow would be fine" button. which a single press of a button would wake up the device, connect to what ever configured network connection it is assigned to, send some data to an API end point, go back to sleep. that could make the button last many years.

you got the message almost verbatim but you forgot the most important part "... and kick you out."

tyl, the true definition of hacking

the demo looked very holographic

yes

first off, quit calling them hackers. they aren't hackers. they are script kiddies.

and at that point a complete waste of being in the spec to start with.

just feels backwards to me. the <html:* > stuff seems like it should all be under the default html namespace and assumed. where as the other stuff may be better suited to be namespaced.

just seems like a waste adding "html:" to all of the root/core elements.

marketing, the tv commercial has skeletor and he-man. that being said, love it.

the jesus fish is always the one i get a small smirk when i see.

quick google: http://www.albatrus.org/english/religions/pagan/origin_fish_...

Sweet, so now you don't even have to mail your PC for FedEx to destroy it.

what are we supposed to be looking at?

>There's a link being passed around called IsLeaked.com, where you can allegedly check to see if your Gmail was hacked. DO NOT DO THAT!

Why present a hyperlink and then tell people not to use it. Wouldnt it be better to not give it at all?

| "Cooperate with me, I have a gun"

And so do I.

me too, it actually gives me a bit of a headache. almost like when you get used to your work laptop being 60Hz and your home monitor being 120Hz. you can't really see it but you can feel it. nope. don't like it one bit.

i read "in good faith" as "you may use these as you wish but don't turn around and try to sue us for using something you hold a patent for"

i could be totally off the mark though

i get this: http://i.imgur.com/MoeEuZ2.png which is caused by this: http://i.imgur.com/RwZluqB.png

i fix it by right clicking and choosing inspect element and deleting the node.

i believe the issue i have is caused by barracuda blocking the iframe's content.

its not impossible, just appears to be coded by someone who over did it with caching in the beginning before the site needed it.

i always figured it was because they built each page and cached it to html, then that cache was set to expire after 5 minutes. then once the cache expired you couldn't go to the next page or what ever because the cached file was deleted.

IMO the reasons presented for this "Feature" should be changed to "lazy programming". cause that's all it is.
