We appreciate that Sam. Sam Schwitzernipple. Listen, even you Sam, Yes YOU can get the training you need, if you pay CASH. Cold Hard CASH for whatever you want. Anonymous as a drug deal in any major city downtown next to the cop shop. (it's anonymous, trust me)
That was one of the best games I played during it's time. The story was awesome, the Multiplayer was fun. Multiplayer felt like tribes / tf / giants all scrambled together, and the single player had some of the best lines.
Including an old character who says he can't do something cause his balls are saggy!
I rofl'd in RL!
Neet jet pack mechanics, and a decent look for it's time.
were Starship Trooper maps for SC and the intensly complex maps people would make for WC3. I haven't played in years, but it was so much fun! People did really neet things like wagon races, and Peon fights!
Interestingly enough, I was one of those people asking for Camera support when I was asked to do some documentation, I had to work w/ some firmware only machines that I couldn't do a screenshot w/. I found that to create instructions, I could just take pics of the steps, crop them out, and drop them in a doc pretty quick.
We have a similar thing for being ticketed x times for y violation here, but video tickets, at least here and CO don't go on your abstract. If a cop writes you a Red Light ticket though, you are basically SOL.
I have to say, I am all for it. I make it a priority to stop on yellow. I drive a pretty quick care, and I hate when people make me sit at a green light because they are trying to scoot through a recent red.
Now I just make it a game, and see how close I can come to hitting a red light runner so I can get a new paint job.
Though that would have backfired when a MOTORCYCLIST followed a city bus that ran a red light. Yup, the bus ran the light first, then the motorcycle drafted to it's behind. I was on a bicycle and almost hit the guy.
While I don't play w/ Game Music, I am partial to the in game sounds, and the way that full EAX brings about a feeling of how the rocket just hit a wall behind you and to the right, while footsteps are coming from the left telling me that someone is baiting, and hoping to catch me from behind.
I got accustomed to it (I wrap myself in 5.1)
W/o sound, I felt like my performance wasn't there. In TF2, it's just not the same 8'(
I'm just justifying my position. In my case, having the capacity also means that when the the temp in my house (no or little AC use) goes over 80 degrees, I still have the 500W power I need when I am cranking UT3 / crysis as high as I can. w/ FAH running in the background (non graphical client now!) Which might be why my house goes over 80 degrees, but I digress...
Really the purchase decision was because I play a fair amount of games, and wanted a PSU that would grow w/ me so I don't have to replace it every two-4 years. The price was right as well. I originally intended SLI, but found that buying 1 great card was better than two good cards usually (via MPC reviews).
It got it on a new egg deal, it wasn't pricey, and has served well for the last 4 years! It may be a bit much, but I am allways adding things. Two Optical drives, 3 HD's (2 in raid, one for data) a new vid card, an older x2 4400 (I am just about to upgrade)
"I have had enough trouble getting warranty support for DOA mobos, processors, power supplies, etc. that I generally don't bother building machines anymore"
I have had great support from vendors like ASUS and EVGA. Infact I was so thrilled w/ EVGA's support that I will make them my #1 brand for videocards! Though I must say. I haven't had hardware die on me in a long time, and the one time I sent out a video card, it was actually MY fault. (I switched to graphical F@HOME for somereason, and it doesn't play well w/ games I normally turned it off before playing but didn't once and It hit me after I bought a new card!)
Not a chance for me. Reusing my case and pc P&C 750W psu saves me real $ and I am on this funky 2 year upgrade cycle. Every two years I upgrade 1/2 of my PC. either mobo, ram, and CPU, or Power, Case, Video card. HDD's get replaced as I need capacity but usually run raid 0 w/ backups on 2 drives for 3-4 years at a time.
Everyone want's to maximize their economy. If you're flying for experiance, you want 1st class on hawaiian. FAT reclining leather seats and food that was better than some 5 star restaurants I've been too.
However, if you just want to "get there alive" well no worries, because it's federally regulated, If the "hardware" doesn't work, you die. No one legally makes money when people die. For the best value on a plane, all you need is a seat, a place for luggage, and the lowest price available.
Computers are not the same, though bloatware is like the steward(es). If you have an ugly stewardess, you still get your midflight cheapo pretzel and 1/2 can of coke. If you have a cute one, you can watch her smile as she comes down the isle.
For the best value on a computer, you want proper cable routing, the most hardware for your budget, with matching parts i.e. a psu that can power sli if so equiped, also it should be delivered to your house w/ the latest firmware updates on everything, & the most up to date software.
We on/. don't care about anything but hardware because we'll just gut the software anyway. We know how to patch and update or flash firmware, hell we might even write our own if we are bored that day. The General publick want's it to work, right, out of the box, and not ever fail, until it's no longer seen as shiny and new by their peers. We computer geeks will repurpose our computer to an HTPC or a File Server or a Proxybox, or a blotto box (whoops how did that get there?)
Though I agree. People are greedy in general, and as my economy teacher loved to say, what's the best price of product x? The one that the majority in the market will be willing to pay.
Hopefully means that maybe Ma/Pa shops, and independants can start building custom PCs again! I can't compete w/ Dell on a (new)build till I hit the 2K+ mark in parts @ pricewatch "wholesale" prices, then I can take 5% max (not counting time). Has a new Alienware or Voodoo hasn't sprung up yet? Though if there is a good botique dealer out there that I don't know about, I'd be interested in looking @ their stuff (for research of course, I build all my own comps).
Put redundant copies, 2 CDs, 2 DVDs, and 2 Blueray discs. Store the file multiple times on each disk. Guaranted any decent undel app should find the files in it's entirety. The problem is reading them. may have to store them as RAW or BMP. Soon we may have super progressive future scan JPG and the standard.jpg format will be lost!

four legged mamals have difficulty beating anything not directly in front of them.

So what you want is a RL W0W Pet? I'd rather a green helper!
"in this instance"
Wait? we are instanced? I thought I was logged out!
That was perfectly on topic!
I'm rainbow bright you insensitive clod!
is still bs all the same.
I had a dell w/ that feature, and I LOVED it! My computer and my coffee were ready for me every morning!

Don't have the energy or desire to determine all that.
I need a twinkie and some diet squirt.
I drive a pretty quick CAR not care 8')
Also, I am not seriously trying to hit someone, it's my responsibility to go on green "if it is clear."

Advertising is old, but not that old.
I think he is talking about the first time a woman slept w/ a man for a piece of meat he got when he accidentally killed an animal using a rock.
Oh wait, I bet she shook it so he'd know what to trade... nvm... Advertising came first.
born before the interwebs!
it is just a dollar civil fine w/ no possible penalties (it doesn't go on your record)

Unfortunately no one plays UT3 anymore

That is horrible! Are you sure that was the Air conditioning? Because I think it's just a vent that recirculates air.
I agree w/ laptop situation, and for "US" it's no big deal, but the public, not so much. We have Comca$t and McAfee is decent and free w/ it.
