Actually you're right and the original poster is wrong. I think the process works by scanning your "My shared folder" directory and basically putting out all of the files you have that aren't.dat files (although i've never done a search on a.dat file, so they might turn up). The.dat files are your uncompleted downloads.
I'm pretty sure the software just searches for names, so unless you force a different name on one of the.dat files then you won't be sharing the file. You can only share after you've got the whole shebang or fake it.
The only problems there is you'd "lose" some picture quality if the "speakers" were "cranked," as the surface the movie was being shown on would be vibrating to some degree.
It's a well known fact that the Star Wars condoms are strictly collector's items, as no true Star Wars geek will have any practical use for then anyhow.
Aliens, Terminator 2, Star Trek 2, The Empire Strikes Back, are a few I can think of off the top of my head... I don't know if those qualify in your book as a long delated sequel though.
They're worth it for the guy who wants to start making high quality media he can watch on his DVD player, though.
I'm more interested in the DVD-video aspect and transferring my DVDs onto backup DVDs instead of DIVXd CDs. I also have a digital camera that is begging to be paired with tech like this.
As soon as the prices reach the point where I can spend less than 400 USD on a burner and less than 5 dollars per disc, then I will definitely pick one up. Until then, though...
From what I've seen, ID gets some hassle for putting the emphasis on the tech behind a game, not the actual game content. Q1 wasn't really like Q2. Q2 made an attempt at a storyline and actually had a feel to it. Q3 was basically just a multiplayer game. The single player game was practice with bots. I played through MGS2, and it does kind of feel like the original, but since the original was also a masterpiece IMO and they added nifty perks and enhanced graphics, I was satisfied.
Well our economy is based almost purely based on profit. If there was no profit to be made, there wouldn't be any businesses supplying us.
Democratic socialism is an interesting structure to look at it. In this system the economy is also controlled by the people- a few countries with this setup are Norway, Sweden, and Finland. If you want to see just how much more effective they are at providing education and healthcare to EVERYONE (amongst other things, such as lower drug use, lower infant mortality rates), check out some stats on them.
The appeal of Diablo doesn't really lay in the graphics, not even really the storyline. It's all about building up your character and outfitting him or her with the best armors and weapons you can. That's why this game is so addicting; even after you finish the game the first time around you might only be, say, a level 25. Are you just going to stop playing after you worked so hard building up your character? Probably not.
After you continue to play the game for a week or so, you find that you're not really "playing the game" as much as you're building up your character. Almost all of the Diablo players I know went through the game again at least in Nighmare mode. Obviously they didn't do it to go through the story again.
The expansion pack would indeed have not been worth it if they weren't including two new different types of players to fool around with, but that's like telling a drug addict you've got two new exotics for him to try out;)
Is this safe? Tying in something like nerves to controlling an airplane? What happens if you do something involuntary like cought? What if you sneeze? What if you have the hiccups? Hell, what if you fart?
Could you possibly whine anymore and take this out of context? This article isn't a piece of journalism, it's a post by a geek asking other geeks what they thought about the commercials on a superbowl. It's not an attack on the democratic world as we know it, for Christ's sakes, chill out.
It's kind of ironic that there are those in the/. community that constantly attack the people behind it for mispelling or doing something as "harmful" as asking for an opinion, yet the only thing these people can seemingly do is whine about how Slashdot is killing the free world and wasn't what it was, etc. OK. Taco can't spell. Maybe Hemos should have considered the time zones. But if all you can do is whine about it then I'm much more worried about the community that makes up Slashdot than those who actually run it.

The "speakers" aren't really speakers.
You're not really "cranking" the speakers because they're not actually speakers. Get it?

The trailer comes on at 9:55PM Eastern, so you won't be missing any of the WTC special.
100 american dollars for guitars?
I mean come on... Epiphone? NEVER say the E word, Epiphone bows before Gibson!

Probably because most college students don't pay for most of the software they have anyhow.

There's no way in hell your Fender can top my '59 reissue.

So if it's not broken, don't fix it!
Not likely going to happen, seeing as Bungie is Microsoft's bitch...
This is a thread on a google messageboard about Nostradamus... read it while it's still up.
... then again not every 16 year old or poor college kid can afford 600 dollars worth of gaming platform without any games...

Was there a Wolfenstein 2 that I missed out on somewhere?
"All your base are belong to us" You've gotta have it in there. Somewhere.
I'm sure this title is MOST DEFINITELY NOT part of RIAA as well ;)

At the time of posting it was at a score of 5, being insightful. I didn't see any humor in it anyhow, show me where it is exactly.
