for another beautifully constructed, all-green-screen movie, try Casshern, the live action anime mentioned here a while back. The trailer alone is worth burning to DVD.
Since MS doesn't mind taking a bath on the X-box hardware, how soon till we see an MS mp3/wma player that is significantly undercutting the IPod? It seems like a sound strategy to make the store more viable.
If an OSS game could be made that is truly competitive with a commercial version, it's lifespan could be remarkably longer than one for a commercial game because it could be part of a distro and I'm sure would have a much more rabid fan base since the Linux game landscape is so relatively barren at those levels.
Must be willing to be the marketing division's bitch and have no ethical qualms with charging $400 for an mp3 player. Previous employment at Real Networks a plus.
Orion's machines are designed like supercomputer clusters, which use many electronic brains to gang-tackle tough problems.
Good ol' WSJ, that hardcore tech rag. Next they'll tell me the brains march off little soldiers to various parts of Computer Land to give orders and bring back messages.
back in the day I had a screen saver I made that would create random colored pixels covering the entire monitor and scroll them across the screen in a wave like a flag. I called it "Look Mom, I'm Blind!" And I swear if you looked at it for more than 3 seconds your eyeballs would explode out of your skull.
thousands of people die every year from automobile accidents, but as soon as one person dies from using one of these, the american public will assume they are deathtraps. And the media will probably ride that train for all the ratings it's worth. Bastards.
It's no surprise to me that this review only contains the top of the line cards and none of the good cards most gamers currently have. No mention of Radeons, Geforce 4's, or any Matrox (okay, j/k on that one). With representatives present from ATI and Nvidia, I'm sure they see D3 as a golden oportunity to justify their new line of $500 cards. Why would they want to confuse you by showing that your own card might actually work with the game?
Well, it's not really a fair treatment because, for example, if I bought an SQL for dummies book back when I first started, I'm not going to throw it away. I'll keep it around just in case. Hell, I still have Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus for Dos!
Max Payne was modeled after the writer of the game Sam Lake. Sam Lake also dressed up and played the part of Max Payne for the graphic novel cut scenes that are shown through out the game.
from IMDB, trivia about the Delorean Time Machine:
# The time machine has been through several variations. In the first draft of the screenplay the time machine was a laser device that was housed in a room. At the end of the first draft the device was attached to a refrigerator and taken to an atomic bomb test. In the third draft of the film the time machine was a DeLorean, but in order to send Marty back to the future the vehicle had to drive the DeLorean into an atomic bomb test.
# The device originally considered for use as the time travel machine was a refrigerator. Director Robert Zemeckis said in an interview that the idea was scrapped because he and Steven Spielberg did not want children to start climbing into refrigerators and getting trapped inside.
# The "Mr. Fusion Home Energy Converter", which is sitting on the DeLorean when Doc returns from the future, is made from (among other things) a Krups coffee grinder.
# The script never called for Marty to repeatedly bang his head on the gull-wing door of the DeLorean; this was improvised during filming as the door mechanism became faulty.
The DeLorean time machine is a licensed, registered vehicle in the state of California. While the vanity license plate used in the film says "OUTATIME", the DeLorean's actual license plate reads 3CZV657
When Marty is trying to re-start the DeLorean in 1955 as he prepares to return to 1985, the car's headlights flash the Morse Code for "SOS".
# The DeLorean used in the trilogy is 1981 model with 6-cylinder PRV engine, and the base for the nuclear reactor was made with hubcap from a Dodge Polaris. It is incorrectly quoted as being a 4 cylinder on the 2002 special edition DVD.

I hope our missions to Mars have a lot more thought put into them than our movies about them are.

does it have a hasp?
when asked about their now 2 year old focus on security, comments "it's more of a 10-year timeline."
I didn't read the article. This was Bush talking about Iraq, right?
Fuck them up their stupid asses.

It's going to be tough moving in with just a ladder. How am I supposed to get my waterbed up there?
It would be cool to park under your house though. Then you can just slide down a pole to your car every morning, batman style.
Now my pet can start earning its keep.

I'm just askin' is all. No reason in particular. None at all.
