Yeah, that was one thing that interested me. The demo they showed of the game is likely not from an act farther in. Perhaps shit hasn't hit the proverbial fan yet. Yes monsters are starting to come in or be summoned, but the land hasn't died yet. Who knows.
Maybe later on in the game it does get a lot more twisted. It did in all the others - so I think that people complaining about what the demo showed and the art style exposed thus far need to chill out and suck on a pacifier a bit longer.
You know, get your leet IRC buddies to create a universal shader for use in D3D apps to make it a goth emo game if you're that worried.
That's specifically why they engineered it with a big focus on light and colors. You can make a scary environment without it being over-dark. If Lord of the Rings looked like Doom 3, it'd be a pretty shitty movie.
So these people doing these fan alterations are idiots. If I were the art director I'd pull a Jay and Silent Bob and go hunt down these little bastards and beat the piss out of them!
You know, any position on any issue is considered "spin" nowadays. If you've got an opinion about anything, or talk about anything regarding your opinion, you're "spinning" it. We get it already. Thank you for obnoxiously pointing out a facet of human communication with a trendy term.
Yes, you are right. Apparently nobody here has gone through the trouble of attempting to unsubscribe from tens or hundreds of spam emails a day to see how successful it is.
I tried it and my spam problem actually got worse. A lot of places use unsubscribe methods that either utilize a fake/false/nonfunctional email address or web page addresses with "typos" in them, or they say they'll unsubscribe you and then let the other 20 spam fuckheads they do business with know that hey, someone actually monitors this address! Spam them more!
So no. Unsubscribing does not really work in 95% of cases. Try it.
Hey, that's a brilliant plan. If anyone knows escrow services it'd be the fine citizens of Nigeria. We could create a job market for them to do legitimate work!
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7403392.html - Hey, check it out! They patented something in 2007/2008 that Cray did with their supercomputers at least in 1985, possibly sooner! As if this isn't proof that patenting as it is in this country, is bullshit.
Here's information on the Cray-2, which used liquid cooling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray-2 but I don't know if it was submerged cooling. I know Cray WAS looking at substances they could submerge boards and whatnot in sometime around then, as well.
As far as recently, Tomshardware did a bit where you can use standard cooking oil as a submersion setup:
You make it sound like that's all they're sitting around doing, is casting blame. I never understood that logic.
Don't you think they have a R&D department working hard to make this next generation happen? Why does this announcement and working on their products have to be exclusive from one another? Lets be a bit more sensible in the course of discussion. Vista is shit, that was their point.
Thank you for giving that perspective. It is always very nice to know what's going on behind the scenes with a department most people don't know a whole lot about. (in this case, the patent examiners)
I'm sorry if I overreacted! there's been a lot of pompous fools on slashdot just trying to say anything they can to.. well, you likely already know. No hard feelings!
Okay, and what's the point of saying that other than being snarky and trying to look intelligent? Neither the summary nor article state anywhere it was a record, nor did any posts before you made yours, so what the fuck?
It's easy to see what you want to see, but I found plenty of criticisms against Linux in nearly all of his posts. Are you sure you're reading the same blog?
When you're so old you can't stay between the proper lines without weaving noticeably, that is where it needs to stop. However I don't know that being drunk off your ass is an adequate comparison to an older person - but I would not know because I'm not there yet. Growing old is going to happen to all of us - so anything that we can do to empower old people to do things they need to do safely is a very good thing for all of us. The younger folk nowadays need to start thinking about others than themselves, frankly. Could you imagine how much it would suck to have to live life completely unable to do things for yourself? When you're drunk you wait until the next day and it's all better. You don't get that luxury when you're aged. Everything you used to do might be impossible.
But that's not the kind of people that this technology would help. It will help older (and even young) people drive safely for longer in their life, but there of course would be a point where it's just not a good idea to continue driving. That is why they're not taking the license exams away.
Besides, who says the technology is just for old people? I think being able to see where the road is at in the fog better (or on a pitch black night with no street lights, even) would be awesome. It'd be one of those things in the future that people will wonder how we ever did without it.
Penny Arcade called this out many years ago, but I'll be damned if I can find the strip. It is kind of amusing to think on it, though. Any PA nuts out there that can find this please?
I think you missed the overall point of my statement. Of course it is obvious if you take it literally. I was pointing out how stupid the argument was in the first place, and the fact that someone always tries to hold a superior point of view to rub it in to others' faces. The entire thing is retarded.
You can't prove if anything exists by belief. That is why I mentioned knowledge, but that's beside the point I was making.
Slashdot Mirror
If it would ever be possible to kill people over the internet, this thread would do it. :D
I for one welcome our shark-toting Fibonacci based Hitler laser fiends, you insensitive clod!

You make step 3 sound like something out of Killer Instinct.

So, can we drop the phrase already?

Yeah, the dark ages were such a shame. It would be very interesting to go back to then and see just how much they actually figured out.
Woah! Wait up a second.
*puts on molten lava resistant tinfoil*
Okay. GO!
So "informative" is the new "funny"?
Damn!
Hey, that's a brilliant plan. If anyone knows escrow services it'd be the fine citizens of Nigeria. We could create a job market for them to do legitimate work!
Microsoft has engineers? And they invented something useful??
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
Hey, I've realized that bosses tend to do that to employees they don't like! I believe the term is, "blowing smoke up his ass".
How managerial of you!
Sorry, it doesn't matter. Patent has it covered!!

... the nintendo 64. Didn't they have a device that measured biorhythms and changed things based on that? Isn't this technology seriously old now?

Isn't bromine a type of soup?

That doesn't make much sense. If the stem cells were in his blood, wouldn't they be in his heart already?
I'm no doctor but that seems like a load of hogwash if I'm interpreting it right.
