"Anachronox is an American made JRPG that's hilarious"
Without a doubt -- one of the best games I've ever played. I remember waiting for the release (I pre-ordered the game). Had an absolute blast playing it!! Some fantastic one-liners come from that game.
I remember laughing (especially in the stranded space scene after Sunder is blown to bits), and the horrid heartbreak and feeling of sheer betrayal when Grumpos is revealed to be an agent of the Shatagra (sp?).
Glad to see I'm not the only one that remembers this masterpiece.
Y'know? They cut something like SIX hours of dialog from the game to make it fit on two CDs?
My signature has stayed the same over the years as well (here, and on other message boards). Nobody ever gets the reference.
For the longest time, I've searched for a decent left-handed ergonomic mouse. Well, I settled on the Logitech MX-610. It has a little proprietary 2.4GHz dongle. I found the mouse to be horribly jerky in movement, the pointer jumps, button clicks sometimes just don't respond. I found to solve this I had to use an USB extension cord and keep the receiver TAPED to the side of the mouse (losing the 'ergonomics' of the mouse itself). I called Logitech and they said I had a faulty dongle.
They shipped me an entirely new package -- mouse, dongle, manual, the whole retail package (FANTASTIC customer support!!) however, I had the same problem. I found it was my wireless router in the other room. I've got four computers that are wireless and a Playstation 3 using WiFi. When there is NO network traffic, the mouse works perfectly!
So, keep that in mind. If you're using all 5GHz stuff, you should be fine. In my case, I have a couple of PDAs that I use that are 802.11b only. But be mindful of your router!!
In the early to mid 1900's, the global population started soaring. I believe this was due to the discovery and implementation of immunizations. We started treating all the nasties that have been doing us in for centuries, if not millennia.
I'm all for the curing of cancer -- lets all assume this really works, and it really eradicates cancer once and for all.
At a minimum, I don't see why sending this information is so "alarming", even if it's inappropriate. Are your $_SERVER env variables such a sensitive bit of information?
"If you have nothing to hide, then you wouldn't mind if we searched you."
What about someone like me? I've got somewhere between 475 and 500 original games on their ROM chips. But not the rest of the hardware. I know the chips all work (I've tested them all). With just the software code in the ROMs be enough to stay within copyright?
The RIAA has burned all bridges of me ever giving them hope or my $$$ EVER again. I will download everything from now on. I don't give a flying damn what the RIAA has to say anymore. It's all extortion and bullshit. Period.
I alternate between contacts (disposable torics) and glasses. I have MUCH less eye strain with contacts, but the drying out becomes a problem. I've come to the point to where I have started carrying a small bottle of ReNu with me. That seems to work just fine -- for me.

Have they tried reversing the polarity of the main deflector array?
You're supposed to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

I bet their eyes light up!
What?! Are you crazy?! Sex in a video game?! My god man! Think of the children!
Using the Wiimote as a bludgeoning tool to put a proper smack-down on some prostitutes, now that's what wii all need!!
That link didn't seem to work -- Just search "dramatel" on youtube and the first one. One of the funniest damn commercials I've seen in a while.
I thought this was a joke when I first saw it on television. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD64vy-205Q/ -- "This ain't T-Money!" -- HAH!
... a "vig"?
Pay your vig, you get protection. Don't pay your vig, we break your kneecaps and destroy your place of business.
I just find it absolutely absurd that things have gone so far as to even require a law like this.
Your connection will be as fast as the slowest link.

Just imagine the next population explosion.
Here's a little philosophical question...
Would it also be fair use if Universal used her baby video for the music video to a new song?
If not, why not?
(I have no opinion here, I'm just interested)
No, it would not be fair use. Universal is in the business of making money. Mom at home posting videos of her child -- she's not. (usually)

Excellent point.

Thanks a ton for this info!!! I'd mod you if I had points. ("interesting"?! more like, "informative")
Again, thank you 'AncientPC'!
You are indeed correct. Earth's SURFACE.
Metroid Prime Pinball includes a 'rumble pack'.
But then, I can't use my M3/Perfect.

640 GIGS won't be enough...
Please reconsider older hardware with 600+ MEGS!
... but one change I'd LOVE to see would be the ability to view all profiles with the default one and strip out all of the user's goofball code.
I can do science me!
When I spent a few months over in England, I totally fell in love with that show!! (Brainiac)

And to think, we still have another 94 to 95 years left in this century. Look what all we had in the last one.
Imagine the 22nd.
Angband/Moria/NetHack has had me coming back for decades now. --Xan
When is he NOT suing someone/some company?!?
