Next time you're watching a DVD, grab a cheap digicam and take some quick snapshots of the TV screen. The difference between the quality of those snapshots and the quality of the DVD is the difference between what was broadcast and what has been lost.
That's the thing I don't understand. The Photoshopping was done SO BADLY. The faked clouds stick out like a sore thumb. It's as if he was TRYING to draw attention to the clouds.
You have two and a half years to go only if Bush allows elections to take place normally. Looking into my crystal ball I forsee a terrible threat to the USA from, um... evildoers... who seek to um... destroy the American way of life. Elections might have to wait a little bit -- you know, just until the emergency passes.
People have been going up into orbit, going around a few times, and coming back down since BEFORE I WAS BORN (and I'm old by 'net standards). It's not progress, it's nothing more than driving around the block.
The title of the article should really be "How Washington Will Shape The USA's Access To The Internet".
Washington can do whatever it wants to servers, bandwidth, and access within the USA. I don't give a shit, because -- like most of the human race -- I don't live there.
No, because then it would still be ghastly mixture of metaphors. The submitter's comment is a land where the hand of effective writing has never set foot.
... that so many of the comments made thus far are attempts at humour.
The Antikythera Mechanism is either JOYOUSLY UPLIFTING or SOUL-CRUSHINGLY DEPRESSING. It isn't funny.
Uplifting because the human race developed the differential gear and incredibly intricate machinery TWO THOUSAND YEARS earlier than we thought, and used that technology for science.
Depressing because the human race then lobotomized itself and we practically went back to living in caves.
We had something amazing, and we lost it so utterly that we forgot we'd ever had it. Go humanity.
That was one of the shittiest pieces of gaming journalism I've ever read. That's saying quite a bit.
There was NOTHING in there about what has made Blizzard successful. It was a collection of one-line quotes from former Blizzard team members, strung together with some vague industry history that you could get from Wikipedia. And the omissions! No examination of internal structure, no dissection of ownership/development/publishing models, no description of team culture, nada. FFS, 90% of the article was about Condor/Blizzard North -- not Blizzard -- but then the article didn't even mention that Blizzard North GOT SHUT DOWN. And not a SINGLE reference to Starcraft, just the most popular online game in the history of the world.
Jesus, that was shit.

Unless it's a fried digital clock, in which case it would be showing 88:88 and thus NEVER right.

And yet it has the worst interface in the world. Seriously, that whole starfield thing, it's a joke right?

Nobody in their right mind would use ash for a fretboard. It's too soft and porous.
Yeah. Nuclear reactors are few and far between, while you can be arrested and imprisoned for doing anything, at any time, at any place.
Kazaa...? Oh, I remember. It was big back in the nineties, right?
What, it still exists?! No way.
Romero also designed every level in shareware DOOM. After thateverything else is meaningless.

Game industry = Music industry
Developers = Bands
Publishers = Record companies
In each industry, which entity do you think is to blame for the generic corporate schlock that's on the store shelves?
This is bringing back memories of boothill.wad, one of the best Doom deathmatch wads ever.

Sheesh, it's like they'd never read Heinlein's "Space Cadet".
Iran is now an enemy of the United States?
It was produced in-house at Microsoft.
The Cambodians are the victims of indiscriminate laying of landmines.
The KKK aren't the victims of racism.
I replaced my Windows laptop with a Macbook, does that count?
No, because then it would still be ghastly mixture of metaphors. The submitter's comment is a land where the hand of effective writing has never set foot.
Or, to use another example...
Was James Earl Jones an ACTOR in any of the Star Wars movies? Or did he just add some audio?

The word is "unpossible".
You're welcome.
