What I want to know is how did they not notice their water supply was salty to begin with? If they're drinking water from local sources while in the canyon, surely they have filtering and sanitation equipment, even if it's just a still or some chlorine tablets?
You can't find it because this article covers a situation Slashdot's target market aren't familiar with: Walking, outside, with other people.
If this was an article about an emergency call for a flat battery during a Segway ride through the Computer History Museum, you wouldn't be having this issue.
I'm not sure how "anyone's satisfaction" isn't already satiated. Charges are dropped means there's not enough evidence to convict him. That's analogous to him not doing it. Hence, it's been resolved.
Let's see if the BBC and News Corp cover that latter part of the story, though.
I don't care how great you think you are at CoD:MW2 on the XBox360; I will destroy you with a keyboard and mouse.
The only way I can equate the experience between going from K&M input in a PC to gamepad on a console is to unplug the mouse and use the arrow keys for X and Y axis control. It's just painful.
I tried playing that once. It reminded me too much of Ring (The original, Ringu). That movie gave me the worst fright of my entire life so far. I had to unplug the TV set in my room, and turn it away from my bed, and it would still take me over an hour to get to sleep. For 2 months.
Just reading about it on Wikipedia has made me turn on every monitor in my room, lest it turn itself on and I see a picture of a well. Petrifying.
If I remember, doom wasn't wave and wave of enemies. It was all built around enemies you couldn't see... Cloaked soldiers / Pinkie daemons, areas of pitch blackness with an intermittent flashing light, blind corners which you knew would have a baddy behind it, but still got startled when that aggro sound played and it was right up in your face.I don't recall any more than maybe 10 enemies on screen at any one time
Serious Sam, however, was open plains with an entrance which shut behind you, no way out, with wave after wave, as you say, of maniacally screaming dudes with heads made of bombs charging at you, for which you had an abundance of ammunition (but not a lot of time) to dispatch.
Doom was "Get scared crapless, run back a little, kill the bad guys." SS is "This area it pretty open... Best break out the XPML30..." *Serious grin*
I'll let you have it with a little lemon, if you wish, but if you dare put milk into Earl Grey tea I'll personally come and pump the entire contents of the closest septic tank into your mattress.
Next you'll be telling me that you have ketchup with baked beans! They fucking come in ketchup!
I find that the correct response in this situation is "Ad hominem; Your arguments are rejected. Come back when you have something salient to say regarding the discussion, not the people engaged in it."
Or s/he meant something else, which conclusion I came to by this person certainly not confirming or denying the presence of any FBI gag order on him or herself.
Those lines you're reading... Try the space in between once in a while.
Over here in the UK, we have the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract regulations. I'm pretty sure that "You have to call us and pay us so you can resell this game you bought" would fall foul of it. It's a question of whether Blizzard would turn up to small claims court when you sue for the "processing fee" to be waived.
You picked up on a typo. The OP knew the article was about the A8, as he stated as much later on in the post.
That doesn't stop you being correct, though. The R8 is a sports car, the A8 is a luxury saloon. For a mix of the two, look for the S8. All of the sedan, with a little more <JeremyClarkson>POWAAAAAAAAAAAAR!</JeremyClarkson>
I watched Babylon 5 for the first time in almost a decade over the last week.
Fuck the physics of the lightsaber; I was happy to finally see space ships moving as though they were in a vacuum, not god damn aircraft flying through an atmosphere.

Slashdot Mirror
Seconded.

Was the guy leading them a complete idiot?

Maybe they'll buy the IP for DN:F and port it?
We have WINE 1.2 now. So, miracles can happen...
What about a jelly doughnaught?
And you're more than welcome to take them to court when they tell you to wait for a patch. Which they will, even if one isn't planned.
They deny you the right to return the game because they know that you won't spend £500 in legal fees to play a £30 game.
1. Charges are made.
2. Charges are dropped.

What's a real mystery to me is why there's a picture of Garry McKinnon half way down the page.
Is he even involved?

My morning coffee. $Deity help you if I don't get my morning coffee...

Indeed. Someone tell this guy about Good Old Games
Oh!

I used HotBot.
Then again, I used HotDog Stand as a windows colour scheme. I now only see in greyscale.

I liked the bit where he had to take on the powers of the Titans themselves in order to defeat them, then finally returns to Brittania.
I would argue that x is important until there is an abundant supply of it, at which point x becomes a commodity.
There. Now no more "X is unimportant until you're not getting any" analogies.
It's kind of like a chamois, but instead of absorbing liquid it absorbs
DIGNITY.
