Abstract
This paper describes a network storage system, called Venti, intended for archival data. In this system, a unique hash of a block's contents acts as the block identifier for read and write operations. This approach enforces a write-once policy, preventing accidental or malicious destruction of data. In addition, duplicate copies of a block can be coalesced, reducing the consumption of storage and simplifying the implementation of clients. Venti is a building block for constructing a variety of storage applications such as logical backup, physical backup, and snapshot file systems.
The Advertising line is show some crappy venue and add the tag line "here's where I got killed" or "here's where I got my revenge" to show off the multi-player bluetooth aspect.
They feature no actual game footage iirc.
Probably because Tomb Raider on your phone isn't going to make anyone part with their cash.

The most beautiful code for the most beautiful OS.
is definitiely in there?
fyi. there were 5 Marx Brothers :
Chico, Zeppo, Harpo, Groucho and Gummo.
Gummo and Groucho performed on stage together but Gummo became the manager of the other four when their careers took them to Broadway and the movies.

It is hard to find honest reviewing and you are unlikely to find it inside most of the gushing magazines.
If you want some good journalism try Edge magazine from Future Publishing here in the UK. It's a gaming magazine for grown ups.
Sorry that you felt unjustifiably attacked.
Your opening sentence sounded more like personal experience than observation.
"I have to say, from the game reviewer's standpoint, that it's hard to give a game a bad rating."
I sincerely hope that you do have an honest relationship with your readers.
because you aren't doing anyone a favour.
If I buy a $50 game based on your review then I can never trust your opinion again.
Regular readers should notice that you never give bad reviews.
If you can't be honest then you are *just* advertising not "relying on advertising".
that is such a great idea, thanks, I shall start work on it, just as soon as I get a shop & a bluetooth phone 8)
like it is everywhere else
With it's backwards compatibility with Master I & II
new features always come before speed improvements
speed improvements can be relied on in hardware later
If you actually think that an SVG will be *quicker* than a bitmapped one then you will be sorely disappointed.

... like the body or the subject!)
Cat got your tongue? (something important seems to be missing from your comment
Perhaps you mean the Queen of England.

Every FPS that comes out my friend and I get together and say "does it have a decent co-op mode?"
The answer has been almost universally "no".
Only Halo has really come close but they stripped it out of the PC version!
Excuse me for not being interested but I want my 8-way Athlon MB please, that way I can stick a new CPU into it when I can afford one.
Time for the strangler to kick off his shoes and spend the weekend working through the zero day movies he got this week.
Aye well, that's the price you pay for being (or trying to be?) cutting edge I guess... *sigh*
you can make you own knives for free
those itty bitty little trees are *the* most advanced tech on earth
do you now how long it takes to optimize the blitting to get that to display so quickly
it is not for you to question why some of the most important text on the page is obscured when at least 20% of the canvas is devoted to ok/cancel

Yes

That is now
The one thing about RPGs I like is to be able to play as non-humans.
I want to be in another world. I don't want to hang out with the humans in Freeport, I want to skin them and hang their skulls from my belt.
If the game only has humans characters I usually play the one that is furthest away from me.
In fighting games I usually pick the Chun-Li character first, then the vamp.
They just had to get it in somehow
like the 858-page report on the congressional inquiry into intelligence failures regarding the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
and there was a teaser poster campaign.

why does "nazis" need an apostrophe?
No, reverse polish notation yoda talks in.
"Sound like Yoda is something I do not." -- I rest my case.
and you called *me* an idiot
