Only once a week, if that, and we normally finish an FPS in 3 nights or so.
We have given up moaning about how no-one ever considers multiple players beyond deathmatch, we had hoped that after Serious Sam and Halo someone would make an FPS that had interesting multi player, Call of Duty would be a good candidate.
When you die, ask Hitler & Stalin how their treaty of non-agression worked out ?
When I wage war. . . , one day in the middle of peacetime I will have troops in Paris. They will be wearing French uniforms. They will march through the streets. No one will stop them. Everything is prepared down to the smallest detail. They march to the General Staff Headquarters. They occupy the ministries, the parliament. Within a few minutes France, Poland, Austria, Czechoslovakia are robbed of their leading men. An army without a general staff. All political leaders taken care of. The confusion will be unprecedented. But long since I have been in touch with men who will form a new government--a government which suits me. We find such men. We find them in every land. We do not have to buy them. They come on their own. Ambition and delusion, party strife and intrigue drive them. We will have a peace treaty before we have war. I guarantee you, gentlemen, that the impossible will always succeed. The most improbable way is the surest.
yeah I know but the time you spend finding out about starting the console in F.E.A.R or Call of Duty 2 and then writing the script is the time you wasted pressing the keys =)
So many cultures discovered / realised / deduced things that western eurpoeans had to discover / realise / deduce again later .
The early Indian astronomers are largly forgotten but around 500AD a guy called Àryabhata taught that the earth is a sphere and rotates on its axis, and that eclipses resulted from the shadows of the moon and earth.
The Islamic scholar Abu Arrayhan Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Biruni probably read Àryabhata's works 500 years later, he certainly wrote of Indian astronomy in his work "India". This is the same al-Biruni who calculated the radius of the earth to be 6339.6 km using the angular incidence of shadows.
The Indians did more than invent 0, they contributed much of the numerals which we often mistakenly label Arabic in origin, al-Biruni writes : "What we [the Arabs] use for numerals is a selection of the best and most regular figures in India."
Ancient true black African contributions are a little less well documented, the writings struggling to survive the 5000 years necessary, even if someone bothered to patent "I have discovered how to make a rotating disk from three pieces of wood such that they can aid in transporting goods", but it's legacy lives on in your mouse : the wheel. As well as the agricultural revolution, copper, tin, bronze (the ore for which was transported from Asia & Syria), the potters wheel ("the first really mechanical device").
I, for one, thank our black African ancestors, our Islamic discoverers (one of whom even made a pin-hole camera using a whole room, it might have been al-Biruni but I can't find a cite !) and our Indian scholars.
Even today we can't even get the history of science right. The NYT recently published a story with the summary : Robert P. Crease, a member of the philosophy department at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the historian at Brookhaven National Laboratory, recently asked physicists to nominate the most beautiful experiment of all time.
See what's number 2. Pfft, he didn't even do that demonstration, let alone discover the phenomena.
The Belgian-Dutch mathematician, Simon Stevinus, did the demonstration in 1586.
Ironically, the article does have a great lesson : "he [Galileo] had demonstrated the importance of taking nature, not human authority, as the final arbiter in matters of science."
I'm under doctors orders to be in bed by midnight and to get up when I wake up and not use an alarm clock (& I usually ready to get out of bed about 9.30am).
Life gets in the way of this sometimes and if I have a few late nights or early mornings then I get pain in my intestines.
It's not so much of a hardship and I don't complain but I know that whenever I ever have to catch a flight in the wee hours of the morning then I pay with more than feeling sleepy.
NFS:MW (and most other modern driving games I've played) already carry this mesage in the opening credits.
MW even says "wear your seat belt" !!
But you have to hand it to Acclaim, they did it properly back in '02 :
Criterion's PlayStation 2 release of Burnout 2: Point of Impact hits retail on October 11th, and publisher Acclaim said on Wednesday that it would refund the fines of any driver caught by speed cameras on that day, to mark the launch and give them a chance to go and spend their hard-earned on speeding in a painless environment.

I guess no-one's bothered.
seems education is sick of you :
misogamist : noun
1 misogamist
a person who hates marriage
and build a fucking great bullet proof dome
come on US, do it, build a giant bubble and lock yourselves in

8 hours ! lamer ;)
I would do 5000 hours of keyboard work in about a year
Actually that site is Digg'd not /.'d.
I was trying to look earlier today.
I would like to be able to press a button and invert the mouse on FPS games
Taking turns on an FPS and having to switch the mouse in between is a pain.
Scriptable keys that did 'escape, down, down, down, enter, down, down, enter, escape, escape' would be useful for me.
My Microsoft GameVoice can do it, and I guess there is already something else somewhere that does it. I've not even been arsed to look =)
Tell that to the 25% of dead police every year shot with their own gun.
The easiest way to get shot ?
Carry a gun.

Can you post a link to the TOS, I'm interested as to how they word that idiotic clause.
"All portscanning", even, say, the range 80-80 ?

PHP is turd, and I'm a professional PHP programmer !
You should really be running your servers chrooted
OpenBSD runs Apache chrooted by default and has 0 directories it can write to.
plan9 does
but that's because in plan9 there is no way to escalate privileges, because there aren't any privileges to escalate to.
The Office did have an IT guy in one episode, he was *very* well observed

Tim: Look, how long is this going to take ?
IT Guy: As long as it takes
I don't know why they don't just use mod_proxy and Man-in-the-middle everything
(something like)
ProxyPass / http://www.ebay.com/
ProxyPass / https://www.ebay.com/
and then just log all the mitm data they are interested in

I tried but I didn't manage to get one =(
Correct me if I'm wrong but the DOM doesn't map very well on to a file system.
Files don't have children & siblings and, apart from some experiments, files don't act as folders.
Believe me, we've tried in Plan9 to map the DOM into the namespace will little success.
