Well, no. Did you read the whole thread? GGP was suggesting reducing speed to increase fuel efficiency. This would mean delivering less in a certain period of time (or, as a load is a discrete measurement, more time for each load). Fuel efficiency != time efficiency.
No, please, we need more FPS with 30 MPH soldiers on cocaine that absorb bullets like paintballs and can hit a mellon with a revolver at two football field lengths.
Yes, please!
Based on your logic, UT would be an "intelligent" game while MAG or L4D are "dumbed down" because the gameplay doesn't revolve entirely around how fast you can aim?
No, both of those are good action games. L4D has some slower moments, but then I guess you amateurs need a moment to collect yourselves:p
I'm sorry, what is the reason that all FPS should move at unrealistically high speed & accuracy or make use of a bazillion keys?
Because it's more fun than watching a movie and occasionally pressing X.
Do you know what it's like to fire a rifle at a moving target?
Nope. Don't care. I've played games that try and simulate that and I don't like them. I prefer the simple responsiveness of an old school shooter (e.g. Quake) than the sluggish wobbly mess of Modern Warfare. Give me a fixed cross hair and no view bob and I'll be happy.
Go play paintball for Christ's sake.
You go play paintball if you love it so much. I want to play computer games.
What's intelligent about two people with mice in a knife fight?
I now have an image of two men holding (live) mice trying to get them to bite the other guy. But seriously, maybe a late night DoD session when everyone decides to put the guns away and have a knife v spade battle isn't intelligent but it is fun!
Is all the frustrating high speed turning supposed to simulate sophisticated ninja like parry skills?
Frustration, you say? Maybe you're just not very good.
X-Wing/TIE-Fighter represent a sufficiently detailed universe that it would take a lot of screwing around to create a remake that would disagree with players' previous experience.
Because it's in the Milky Way. Extra- in this instance means "another" i.e. from another galaxy, not "in another galaxy". Similar to "extraterrestrial" - they don't stop being extraterrestrials when they arrive on Earth.
I think Exogalactic would be the term if it was still in another galaxy but I might be wrong.
However, as for your business, if - like Cooks' Source - your business relied on using others work and passing it off as your own then good, I'm glad it failed.
You're saying it's a tragedy that her business of stealing others work and profiting from it didn't work out for her because she got caught red handed and acted like a dick when called out about it?
...or there are two different arguments. As a musician, I don't mind if you download my music, however I would take exception to you claiming it as your own and publishing it for profit.
If the subject were copyright infringement of music, we'd all be in support (or at least sympathize with) the infringing party.
It's not black and white. If she had saved some copyrighted text from a website to her computer and read it on her iPod then that would be analogous. Or if she downloaded some music rearranged it, called it her own and then published it for money, then that would be analogous. What she did was steal others work for profit.
And the saddest thing of all is an editor who can't spell "it's" correctly in the very first sentence of their lame explanation for having stolen something.
Why do you think she wasn't writing her own material in the first place?
Be that that as it may, and maybe I'm A Loser, I just don't Dig It. I Don't Want To Spoil The Party but I Want To Tell You, From Me To You, how I feel. You'd have to be a Madman to deny their impact and they certainly caused something of a Revolution but I've listened to them, Not A Second Time, but a hundredth time, and I'm So Tired of their sound I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry. Maybe When I Get Home I'll have another listen and I'll Get Back to liking them. From A Beginning to The End they certainly wrote a lot of songs but that was a Long, Long, Long time ago. But We Can Work It Out. Everyone has their own tastes. You just have to Think For Yourself and Let It Be. The Things We Said Today may not be true in a few years. I could be wrong but, hey, That'll Be The Day!

It never groped my balls, if that's what you mean.
Well, no. Did you read the whole thread? GGP was suggesting reducing speed to increase fuel efficiency. This would mean delivering less in a certain period of time (or, as a load is a discrete measurement, more time for each load). Fuel efficiency != time efficiency.
In most companies, it is expected that equipment bought and paid for by the company is to be used only for business purposes.
Except for computers, which can be used for browsing Slashdot...right?
... so why should he pay you?
So that I turn up tomorrow.
What about latency on these things?
Negligible.
Is USB really up to it?
Yep.
This is why you always, always turn your speakers/amp on last.
Maybe they should prevent the TVs from broadcasting that, seeing as they're helping the terrorists win...
^this!
What happened to dungeons and castles and monsters in FPSs?
No, please, we need more FPS with 30 MPH soldiers on cocaine that absorb bullets like paintballs and can hit a mellon with a revolver at two football field lengths.
Yes, please!

That sounds like a challenge!

You can export Sketchup models to Valve's Hammer editor and then play them in Half Life, Portal, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead etc. Aparently.

When can you start?
What, from a Microsoft employee? Surely not!
Sorry to hear about your family.

Just in case the previous ten comments weren't enough, I thought I'd mention that phones work when the power is out.
That'll be why a friend of mine has just uninstalled Windows 7 from his netbook, installed Ubuntu and saw an improvement in performance. Mm-hmm.
You'll find numerous buildings scattered across the US that once belonged to IBM[...]
There was one around the corner from where I work (in the UK) until a month or two ago. It is now a pile of rubble.

Anyway, I'll Be On My Way.
There is a massive variety of beetles but I'd still rather stroke a cat.
Is this using the American or British definitions of "geek" and "nerd"? As I understand it the definitions are swapped between cultures.
Well you might want to take that up with Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann, and Paul Dillenberger
