If you make maps for the top ten games listed on the following website's you should have a fairly impressive portfolio: more to that, get those maps in rotation and a couple endorsements by game dev's and your resume should have good boyancy.

If you think that list is representative of the game industry, you probably don't work in or near it.
Newsflash: online PC multiplayer first-person-shooter games represent a tiny fraction of the games industry. For every person currently playing first-person shooters online, there's probably two Starcraft GAMES in progress on Battle.Net. For every copy of Half-Life sold for PC, there were probably TEN of Gran Turismo on Playstation. What count as successful sales numbers for a PC first-person-shooter title would be laughed at as abject failures in the console market.
Considering that the Space Shuttle was designed in the sixties, using sixties technology, and then constructed by the lowest bidders on every component, I'm amazed that those things are even allowed out of the bloody hangar.
A few inches away from the leading edge, just beyond the boundary layer, molecules are torn apart and temperatures can exceed 10,000 degrees. But the boundary layer keeps temperatures on the leading edge RCC panels at around 3,000 degrees.
How kind of the authors to avoid specifying exactly what sort of degrees they're talking about. One wonders, are they writing for certain readers in the United States, Myanmar, and Liberia - the only countries that use British Imperial measurements - or for everyone else in the world?

I remember one episode of the original series where Starbuck and a Cylon are stranded together on some desolate planet after crashing there, and became... well... buddies. Of course the Cylon ended up getting killed in a big battle at the end when each rescue party turned up, but THAT episode actually explored character, both human and Cylon, a bit more.
If a site posts links to other sites and one (or more) of them contains something illegal, but the illegal content was neither the overt or covert reason for the link, then that should be fine. But if the purpose of the link is solely or primarily to help you do something illegal then the person posting the link should be regarded as an accomplice.
You can buy drugs at night on most street corners in the suburb of Redfern in Sydney, Australia.
According to your theory, I am now an accomplice in the Australian drug trade.
I personally think the interface is CRAP. It's in the same vein as Quicktime, recent versions of which are hated univerally by user-interface specialists.
It's akin to saying, that it's laughable for europeans to wonder why everyone thinks they're so into beastiality, based on the rumors of late night tv in amsterdam
Yeah, I'll remember that next time I see the Dutch head of state address the nation with "May bestiality continue to bless the Netherlands".
You know, Mr. Gates would likely get a chill, not a chuckle.
There is nothing more scary than someone bent on your destruction, who truly doesn't give a flying fuck about you
Way to miss the point. Linus is most definitely NOT bent on the destruction of ANYTHING. He has said time and time again that all he wants to do is make Linux better. When will people actually listen to him? He isn't bent on the destruction of Microsoft or of Bill Gates or of the Great Electric Boogaloo. HE DOESN'T CARE.

Anyway, just a reality check.

No, the reason why Winamp 3 failed was that it SUCKED.
Well, the Unicast site says the advertisements are 300k -- and run for FIFTEEN SECONDS.

I'm sure that there must be SOME link between the headline and the article... but I'm buggered if I can see what it is.
Surely email addresses in the form "user@host.domain.tld" have been around since the arrival of DNS? That must be a whole lot of prior art.
I believe printed circuits were first used in the Nazi guided-missile programme in WWII.
And, as a layman knowing nothing about the intricacies of a 100%-mechanical wristwatch, it sounds like a frickin' impressive one.
Mad props to Mr. Anserlian!
It means nothing unless you move to Norway :)
Actually... he was.
Hey Michael, how about you shut the fuck up about what ROTK "clearly" was or was not? I didn't come here to read your whiny little editorials.
Actually... why DID I come here?

The article is obviously transcribed from a printed magazine, either by hand or by OCR. What you're getting all upset about are TRANSCRIPTION errors.
All you guys complaining -- those t-shirts, those shoes you're wearing, they were all manufactured in the continental USA... right?
Didn't think so.
If you don't like the law, stop going to the movies. Why is this so hard to grasp?
From the article:
the final battle takes place on a lava planet, and at one point the two are hoping back and forth on hovercrafts floating over the lava.

WMA is wholly owned by Microsoft and doesn't seem to offer appreciable sound benefits over mp3s
It does, however, offer significant SIZE benefits. For low-bitrate recordings -- spoken word, for example -- WMA is far superior to mp3.

A little humility at acknowledging a supreme being is probably something that most people could use.
And Americans wonder why the rest of the world thinks that they're a bunch of religious nutcases.
