I, for one, like PC games over console games due to the ability to customize the keyboard/mouse. Not to mention the fact that you have far more control over a character with a mouse/keyboard setup than that dual joystick/D-pad nonsense.
While TF2 does have item upgrades, and "drops," there are mods out there, and even server commands to disable them. To that effect, there is an extremely active mod community, and it all depends on the servers' administrators.
To add to that, TF2 is a class based game. Any FPS with as much diversity as TF2 deserves upgrades and the like.
So let me get this straight... If someone hits me in the back of the head with a bat, when I an not expecting it, it should not hurt. I did not expect any pain to be delivered, and so it should not be there? Or is it skewed because I know a bat to the head should hurt, in which case does it hurt after i find out it is a bat with which I was struck?
If I recall, wasn't a story about FaceBook retaining information after an account was deleted recently on/.? From what I remember, if you posted all your real info to FB, delete your account, and want all of that information shredded... Try this.
Still no Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc.
Am I the only person like this still? I don't find it difficult to make plans, find friends, and *gasp* use my phone to actually speak to people!
Maybe it's just me...
As some know, cars are well equipped with something that is called a crumple zone. Airbags keep your seatbelt from breaking your neck, but the crumple zone is what absorbs most of the force of the crash. See this video for why your crumple zones make a big difference over the air bags.
A UFO, or unidentified flying object, can originate anywhere. It just must conform to the following:
Unidentified: unknown origin
Flying: not in/on the water/land
Object: another word for noun
To recap, it could be something that is in the air, and you have no idea wtf it is. It may have come from the Earth, Mars, or the Russians.
I still find it difficult to believe that they could find someone on a college campus. 1/2 the posters in (male) dorm rooms are of some pornographic nature. While it may be unintentional, it is still exposure.
I say goodluckwiththat.
It is bad enough that we pay astronomical amounts just for internet access. This will be a great opportunity for competition, and an overall better product.
The government has say in certain things like trash collection for efficiency. Internet access has become such a commodity in the modern world that allowing competition can only broaden our capabilities. Oh, and knock some off my bill every month!
One question: who do the new warrants go to for interceptions? The provider or the infrastructure provider?
What about those of us who do not, and will not, have facebook, myspace, twitter, or anything else of the sort? When did society become so reliant on knowing everything about everyone they have ever seen on the street? If I don't see you at least twice a week, do not consider us "friends," perhaps acquaintances at most.
As mentioned above, if you need to get ahold of me, call me. If you don't have my number, you probably don't need to get ahold of me THAT badly.
Which is why my payscale is between executive and manager. If they don't understand it, want it to keep running, and don't want to learn it themselves... they'll pay for it.

I may have misunderstood the post, but commercial airliners go 400-600mph.
The main selling point will be fuel... especially as prices rise. TFA, however, is about a sitting duck. Since we are all terrorists to our government, expect to see these in domestic cities as well.
Having the charges dropped is ludicrous. Because they played his gaming system does NOT invalidate the paraphernalia they were searching for and seized. This is an after-the-fact issue, that should be dealt with by internal affairs.
Bring a friend to the bar, you put all his drinks on your tab. Have a sip here/there to not blow.00. At the end of the night, he can go compete for the super drunk winnings, you get the tab wiped clean, and drive home.
I wouldn't call it a "failed" industry, but an industry which has lived out its life and is reaching the end.
Failed would be an industry like using nuclear weapons to act as steamshovels.
Nor was I... I spent all my time messing with the computer networks, then being called out of class to "fix" them. It was never me though, some other "bad kids" did it.
For anyone not wanting BoA to have your thumbprint on file every time they are hacked, or inevitably go under... just put a layer of glue on your thumbs. Make it thin enough so heat transmits through, and thick enough so your thumbprint is a blob.
It makes me happy to see parents using this to violate privacy. No sarcasm.
Kids these days don't realize how precious privacy is. Hell, most adults don't realize it. They look at being screened three times to get back into their own country as a safety screening. I see it as a violation. I am not an advocate of Twitter, or anything that helps track the whereabouts of individuals. The rest of the world can broadcast what they're doing when and where... I will just laugh when their house is ransacked because their tweets all say how fun their vacation is.
I brought in a company MBP (2007 ed.) with the same circular scratches on my OSX disk. The laptop was not moved in any way during the OS install, and this was clearly an Apple defunct drive.
When I took the disk and the MBP into the genius bar, they told me that that could not be the case. Lucky for them, I am not their grandparents, and had a previously burned music disk (worthless to me) to put in and show them. Come to find out later, it was an acknowledged issue, and they deny it as long as possible to get it out of warranty.
In Apple's defense, they replaced the superdrive, AND my OS disk. It just took undeniable proof.
The only problem with that plan is that a warning is supposed to come before something bad happens.
Assuming your wind farm is not in a city, what good is a warning going to do to a wind farm?
It isn't exactly like they are going to hide in the storm cellar. Consider them going down your sign to mash your "Tornado Warning" button.

If you consider crashing every 20 minutes, losing any save data you had, and having some video sequences prevent any further progress due to crashing.
...and that was on a console!

And it isn't even a film. Fail.
I didn't RTFA, but from /. alone, I am unsure if this article is about porn or the film itself. My attention span stopped at...
