> Also, its a fucking silly thing anyway. Does anyone out there really think that of all the things the X-Box can't do,real-time lens flares are one of them? Heh heh. How silly is this shit?
They probably can. Initially this is want hinted to us that there was a problem with this picture. However, the main thing was that the character model was pasted on the real game background.
Look at the new screenshots (real ones) and the old ones and compare, there's a BIG difference in poly count/quality of the models.
Average reader/user needs this type of information, since they've all heard of this Playstation & Playstation 2 machines. At least it's kind of saying "It's like having a PS2, but much less powerful".
Yes, the comparison doesn't make sense to those of us familiar with these technologies, but it might make some sense to most consumers.
Nah, I have Starfighter and I'm having lots of fun with it. Specially the "Eye of the Storm" mission, pretty cool !
Lots of enemies on screen, good graphics, and of course great SW background music. Plus, when you finish the game, you get to fly Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator, the best ship in Episode 1.
I played the Oni PC demo and was completely bored. After going through the obligatory "training" level, the first real game level was just too boring.
Boring level design, uninteresting enemies, and the dreaded endless quest of finding consoles to open doors ( I rather find "keys to open doors" - Gauntlet).
After giving up on this game, I constantly heard a lot of hype on it and decided to give it another chance, this time, by renting it for my PS2. Same crap. It had a couple more flashy effects on the PS2, but still, boring gameplay and empty rooms after empty rooms.
When you get lost on a level because it all looks the same, you know you are playing a real boring game !
Gore losing votes is not Nader's fault, but Gore's fault. Nader also brought in a lot of people who would have not voted at all, but Gore is the one that lost them, not Nader.
As for vote swapping, what a ridiculous idea. I've already heard from a bunch of people who say they traded votes with a couple of "fools", and ended up voting for Bush anyways !
but how much do YOU know about all the legal stuff involved in mixing licenses?
Zero. I'm not a lawyer, just a programmer.
"Go gnomes" , with little petty comments like that, and others, why would I trust his interpretation. It is obvious this jerk has an attitude problem just a bit less gigantic than his ego.
I'm really sick of all this license nitpicking. Yes, the license is important, but I'm sorry, if we wanted to discuss law we would have gone to law school.
But this is totally irrelevent to my point, which is that US courts don't give much of a damn about juridstiction.
I know, you just made it sound like we where upset he was taken, most people were grateful (now the extreme force, that's another argument...).
More on topic, yes the US oversteps it's bound all the time, specially in Latin America. However, the invasion itself is not the best example, there are clauses about safety of the canal, and how the US can step in.
The imprisonment of Noriega, now that is a valid point.
When the US was worried about communism and guaranteed access to the Canal, the plight of the Panamanian people was but an inconvenience.
Oh and the Noriega situation had zero to do with Communism.

... you sound like one of the marketing people in my company who thinks he can program by draggin UI controls in Visual Basic.
Sorry, but it's not happening any time soon. There will always be a need for people with a deep understanding of how to solve problems with computers.
... it must be cool then, eh ? ;)

33Mhz is slow for what ???
Certainly it's fast enough for the Palm OS and it's apps, I have a Palm Vx which has less processing power and it seems "fast enough" for me.

This is a must buy !!!

'Nuff said !
If I was the judge, I'd hit these losers with my hammer !
C'mon, people, get a real life !
Sega of America denied it, not Sega of Japan, their boss, and the source of the original report.
No, SEGA of AMERICA (SOA) denies it, not Sega of Japan, their boss.
BTW - SOA denied in the same way when Saturn died.
> As I said before, the salesguy's gotta make a living. Most people want a PC when they want a computer - why try selling them something else?
The example given here, was somebody who wanted an Apple machine in the first place, why assume "most people want a PC". That's BS !!!!
Sorry if we don't feel "symphaty" for the poor salesguy.
Too true, use headphones for extended periods of time if you think hearing aids are a fashion statement.
Maine's vote is split into 3 and 1 votes. Not sure what area the 1 vote comes from. (I heard this on NPR)

He sounds like one. Specially when he tells the KDE developers to "ask for forgiveness".
This guy is in a serious and disastrous power trip, he need to land and come back to reality.

Looks like some moderator doesn't like you :)
What do you mean "the way things are going ..." ?
Did you already read the script ??? LOL
And thanks, one less person to crowd the line !
Stop spreading misinformation, he's a remote controlled robot !!!
Who really said it was only a CGI character ? And sure, many (if not most) of the Episode I shots had an RC controlled R2 unit.
> Personally I thought that the affinity with communism was basically dead after the Regan years and such but I guess the young never learn easily.
?. Could you point to me the part where he showed "the affinity with communism" ? Or are you replying to another post ?
It has split 3 times over a 3 year period. And the stock is doing extremely well right now (and for the past couple of years). :-)
He was not the recognized leader in Paname, ie, he was just a thug dictator.
Most countries in the world don't have democratically elected leaders, including quite large & prosperous ones.
Panama is supposed to have democratically elected leaders. It's just that when you have power hungry generals, they tend to take over.
Shoulndn't be a problem now that there's no army like in Costa Rica.
ah, there are more categories than just those two, as I'm sure you know!
... Cual ?
Not a clue. Cuban in transit from Panama to somewhere else ? Chinese immigrant ? Foreign business person
> hey, remember the "batallones dignidad" and the "rabiblancos"? Are you Panamenian or Zonian ?
I used to go to all the protests, and the pot-banging was fun.
