K&L is not a 'stealth' shooter. It is a shooter alright, but with more gameplay in common with IO Interactive's Freedom Fighters than the Hitman series.
Exactly - the developer of Tetris made a game concept that was good enough to get a proper publishing deal... That he got screwed with a fixed sum deal is only his problem.
There is a reason for most indies not being picked up by publishers - they suck...
Looking at the market, you see that the publishers and, in turn, developers in general make their money on consoles.
That said, Xbox360 and PS3 being multi-cpu you will see gamecode optimized for multiple threads and I suspect that this will spill over to secondary platforms like the PC (and maybe even Macs).
Surely depends on where you are in the world. Here the law states that if you cannot work within your field due to a non-compete clause the company laying you off has to pay you until it expires or you get another job outside the scope of the clause.
This has effectively made it so companies thinks twice before asking people to sign these.
Yeah yeah, I know unions are evil and bureaucratic, but this law is something they got through here......
I have friends who are using their bluetooth headsets to connect to their computers and use skype.
It is a bit irregular what works and what doesn't. My Sony Ericsson headset does neither work on my debian nor friends powerbooks, whereas his Sony Ericsson headset works on both machines. ?!?
Bet its most fun on Revoloution where you can stab back at the evil undead/freak/evil/whatever hordes!
Probably not. Developers are going to choose a 1. priority platform and either port or codevelop for the others.
My money is NOT on it being the Revolution seeing how botched the GC was.
But hey, then there is at least going to be one game for it.
Huzzah! I am not the only one hating the horrible soundtrack. If EA does not want to spend the dough on real bands (with licensing fees, and pr. copy fees and whatnot), then hire a composer to do a soundtrack instead of this horrible cacophony of crap.
They seem a bit shorter this time around. The main irritant is the incessant saving of progress which takes forever after each race. I haven't tried to install it to the hdd tho, that might speed things up a bit, although the save/load progress is still hampered by the memory card.
It seems that phones that can do what is wanted already exist - the Sony Ericsson W800 is a better iTunes phone than the iTunes phone. Just observing that model's sales would have saved Apple a lot of money.
I would like to play with the ROKR tho, if just to see if Apple has been able to rip out the horrible Motorola OS and replace it with something that feels like its from this century.
I think one of the main issues with LED lights is the incompatibility with existing lamps.
Sure you buy new lamps every once in a while, but a real breakthrough will come when you can get LED 'bulbs' that fit in a normal 220/110V socket on a normal lamp.
The same thing happened with those energy-saving bulbs, it seems they only really took off (at least here in Denmark where electricity is expensive) when they became available in versions that looked like normal bulbs and fit most lamps.
Another example is the wire spot halogen lights, once they became available in 220/110V versions they took off. Nobody seemed to want those bulky 220->12V transformers around.
Very interesting to see other views. From the experience at my job, shared contacts is not necessary for us at all. Hell half the people don't even use the existing LDAP services.
For us integrating thunderbird and sunbird (while improving the shared calendar via ftp/webDav to be less buggy) would be THE thing.
Being able to add outlook-meeting invites received by email into the calendar would be very nice too.

Most people did stop buying PC games, and went on to consoles.
And BTW most often it is not the developer, but the publisher who has the final decision on what copyprotection scheme to use.

My experience with HP, like the parent poster is the same.
I bought an used highend HP SCSI 300dpi scanner that works perfectly with both windows and sane.
The only problem with it is that is big as a bus and weighs about the same.
So looking for an older used highend scanner might be an option?
I am glad to hear that the strong winds hasn't knocked off your tinfoil hat.
Try listening to a 10 year old mildly scratched LP.
Then try listening to a 10 year old mildly scratched CD.
The first will be tolerable, the second will drive you to murder.
Interesting. I have never been to a game store where the games were locked in.
Neither here in DK nor in other places (incl. US).
Could someone please fill me in to which parts of the world games are locked away in shops?
Most of my spam originates from the US and promotes US products or services only of interest to Americans.
:-)
Cutting off the US from the internet is the solution....
Well, maybe THAT solution isn't thought through.
Well, in the country where I live there are at least 2 unions for IT professionals.
http://prosa.dk/om_prosa/engelsk/ one, Prosa, has a page in english.
http://www.samdata.dk/start/default.asp the other Samdata does not.
Threatening to withhold pay?
Does he think you are living in some sort of feudal society, where he can abuse his peons as he please?
You should ofcourse immediately contact your union and let them and their lawyers handle it.
If you are not in a union - well, then you should have thought about that earlier.
Most of those use wires with clear insulation. When you add a spot the screw point cuts through the insulation.

A lot of the games shown will play on computer running operating systems 'based on NT Technology'.
And if you have a PS2 and Xbox, get the Xbox version. Much nicer graphics :)
Yeah, but the PS2 runs at 60 frames, the Xbox only at 30.
The speedfeel is MUCH better on the PS2
"..and that consumers will win once the US dollar rises over Euro."
Oh, you mean when flying pigs take skitrips to hell?
Ditto here.
Became very tired of browser crashing and taking the mailclient down with it.
Now it's only Firefox hanging 3-4 times a day (guess it doesn't like multiple CPU systems when opening many tabs)..

ATI should spend more time writing functional drivers than thinking up new paperlaunches..
That said nvidias drivers for their quadro cards sucks just as bad.
