Irony - A year later I saw her on campus and she wanted to know why I stopped calling.
She claimed I had hurt her. As if rejecting me four times didn't hurt.
(rolls eyes). A typical, socially-inept, clueless female nerd.
That's not irony, that's an attention whore. Once you stop doting on them they'll come to you and try to get your hopes back up.
I ran a clan in Diablo II: LOD called Light & Night with a good friend of mine for a year. Diablo II didn't have clan support (although it was noted in some fan site that it may have been planned for LOD but was scrapped). Are we going to get clan support for Diablo III?
I've heard people (on the BNET forums) make vehement arguments against this for some reason. They assume clanning means that I'm asking fort big 40 person Diablo raids or something - that's definitely not the case. I want to be able to roll in-game with some of my close buddies under a clan tag - simple as that. Have a simple officer/leader system and clan chat, that's all I'd care about.
I'm going to be making a clan in D3 with two buddies as co-leaders either way, so really it's just a matter of whether or not Blizzard is going to make it easy on me or whether we're going to have to go with names like CLAN_Charname. Please don't make us resort to that.
Iunno. Considering how cheap PS2s are, it'd be nice to be able to grab one if you feel like getting backwards compatability. It's not as huge of a deal to me anymore.
Adding to the parent's list: infrared port (for wirelessly swapping contact data - the Japanese did it years before "bumping" and it came pre-installed), barcode scanner, QR code support (although this can be supplemented with an app).
It doesn't matter. With shit on TV like CSI and Law & Order that wraps up a case in 47 minutes and treats DNA evidence/fingerprints like the holy grail, the average American is trained to think that DNA/fingerprints = 100% guilty.
It's no different than the people who were screwed running Windows ME. I bought a copy at the start of high school because I had 98 (not 98SE) and I needed an OS that supported a hard drive larger than 20-something gigs. I thought 95 was bad - I've never seen an OS crash so much in my life.
A proper new secure OS from Microsoft would have to pull the same trick Apple did. Throw the old OS in a box, allow it to run in the new OS, and kick all old APIs to the curb. A good start would be the Singularity OS Microsoft has in it's research labs.
QFT. That's what Microsoft really needs to do. I remember reading somewhere that MSFT coding a new OS would take "100 programmers 10 years". So? They don't have the money?
If they do something right from the ground up, it will sell of its own accord. Leave the older versions to compatibility mode/emulation and create something absolutely from scratch. And for the sake of Moses on a rocket-powered pogo stick, work with manufacturers to make sure you have working drivers before the beta is even out.
It's an organization going for a power grab way outside of the scope of what they're allowed to do. That should be treated as seriously as any other mass violation of rights because yes, this is how it really starts.
It's a lesson we seem to forget time and time again. They don't just rip up the Bill of Rights; they change it little by little over a very long time.
(Clarification: I'm not saying tweeting from a basketball game is a fundamental right per se, but the general principle stands nevertheless.
The Rock Band DLC has never bothered me, because it has always been at a relatively fair price and worth it. Unlike a lot of DLC options you can actually cherry pick (download only songs you want), and they've been decent enough to arrange promotions and free songs (like "Still Alive").
I guess I should have explained myself a bit better, then:
Danse De Rue Savate, the Dance of the Street, is named after the question often asked to start a fight â" do you what to dance? It is aristocratic in style with back alley brutality.
http://www.americanroughandtumble.com/Savate.html
When I first heard about Savate, it was described to me as "a combination of fighting and dancing... moves that look like ballet but can be very violent."
Watch this video of a Savate fight from 1934 and tell me honestly that some of those kicks don't look like ballet moves. That's what I've seen in pictures and video. But if you look at this more modern video, you can see that it much more closely resembles kickboxing or Muay Thai nowadays.
I suppose my view of Savate was greatly antiquated.
But what if you buy a domain from a registrar? A lot of them just set it up for you. So if I buy a domain from Company X (and they set up DNS very quickly as usual - normally within 24 hours as I've seen), and I change my mind... I don't think a refund is coming my way anytime soon.
The most evil person in the world would theoretically be someone who was intelligent, rational, calm, and had absolutely no inherent regard for human life and no issues with causing suffering if it met his goals.
So why didn't these researchers just knock back a couple episodes of Death Note? Light/Kira is pretty much pure evil according to your description.

You fool! Merely uttering their names will summon dark, fell creatures from shadows unknown!
If he really meant that, I'd put together a Linux box and play QL on it.
I'm all for more companies actually making games working natively on Linux. Games are the only reason I use Windows at all.
Why didn't you simply get new plates?
A lot of nerds wouldn't be where they are without caffeine, cocaine, and.or nicotine (all stimulants that heighten your awareness).

Sure there is.
Before he started the new code, the programmer drank exactly 2.0 bottles of scotch.

The only thing the mouse tends to fail at is constant movement, i.e. a long turn in a racing game. That's where the keyboard or a joypad comes in.
Take flight sims. Without a good keyboard, joystick, or gamepad, you can't really play them properly.

I only upgraded to XP because Steam said it was dropping 98/ME support and SP2 had been out for a while and was shown to be pretty decent.

XP (compared to ME) is a godsend.

The best theme? Rain, Snow, Hail, Leaf, Meteor, Skylab, etc.
I thought you were going with Pokemon types, or perhaps magic spells from the Final Fantasy series.

The Data Protection Act won't protect you from systems being hacked. "Adequate Security Measures" can be broken.

There is something kinda like that called Savate.
When the forum I moderate stopped showing postcounts publicly, a whole lot of junk posts disappeared.

"Where does the sun go?"
Easy answer: It visits the people on the other side of the world.
Answer for older kids: something about how the earth goes around the sun, maybe using a couple tennis balls or something.
