Is it just me, or is playing a FPS on a console just lame compared to keyboard/mouse? Does Halo 2 address this, or is it better than keyboard/mouse? The only FPS I can remember playing on a console was Goldeneye on N64, and I couldn't stand it. Have things changed since then?
I always thought this was a good overview, and directly addressed some misconceptions about Gentoo. Regardless, people that don't care won't get it, but that's fine; Gentoo isn't for everyone, that's why there are lots of distros out there.
Personally I've learned more by using Gentoo than from any other Linux. YMMV.

I find it funny that our country is so out of it as far as freedoms, but think about what sells; the glitz and glamor of the 24 hrs news channels. It's why no one hears 90% of the news out there. Luckily we have the internet, however with most of the electorate more concerned about Paris Hilton than the election, most of the news is wasted in place of commercials for 'erectile disfunction' medications.
That's a great speed, but how much data can be processed on the recieving end? Would it just shove it into RAM or ? I'm just trying to think how a network card would handle/distribute that much data at once.
However it's incompatable with gpl. Yes, while not code, it's still IP, and thus should be more open. I guess one license isn't enough for everyone though.
but with all the viruii, and fake viruii announcements from fedora-redhat.com, can you really trust a box left out in the open? I'd think it'd be a ripe offer for tampering. I can just image the 2600 articles now...
it would have to improve service over megas like Best Buy, in turn one would hope that this would spur megas like BB to offer better service (and not just stick you with the, "What you need is the extended warrentee!).
Agreed, I can't keep up with the 2 shows my wife tapes for us each week. With work, playing with the kids and watching the daily show (natch), we never get around to watching the tapes (yeah, we're still using a VCR, get over it).
Yes, you. You sick fucker. On Wednesday morning I emerged from my girlfriend's building by U.N. Plaza to find that you had sawed the tops off both the sparkplugs on my motorcycle. At the time, I had no idea why anyone would do that. Other than the sparkplugs, the bike was untouched. Some kind of bizarre vandalism? A fraternity prank gone awry? I had no idea. All I knew is that I looked like a huge douchebag riding the Muni to work in a padded motorcycle jacket and helmet.
Because the bike was immobilized I got a $35 street sweeping ticket that night. Thursday I had it towed to the shop ($45) where they replaced the sparkplugs and the boots ($50 including labor). They explained to me that "people" - I use the term loosely here - like you break off the tops of spark plugs and use the porcelain tubes to smoke crack. As an engineer and former MacGyver fan, in a way I think this is kind of cool. But then I remember that I just paid $100 for YOUR crackpipes, and I get angry again.
Crackhead, it was really good to have my bike back though. I rode home from the shop with a couple of spare sparkplugs and a smile on my face. I figured the next time I parked at my girlfriend's place overnight I would have to buy some crackpipes and tape them to my bike as a peace offering. Overall, I wasn't that upset. Despite having to ride the bus for three days and dropping a hundred bones at the shop, I had gained some fascinating knowledge, a new set of sparkplugs, and a pretty funny anecdote about how fucked up you are, and how our paths once crossed briefly in the night.
But you couldn't just let sleeping dogs lie, could you Crackhead. You couldn't just stay in on Friday, watch Letterman through the window of a home electronics store and then call it a night. You couldn't rest on your laurels. Two porcelain sparkplug crackpipes just wasn't enough for you, was it Crackhead? You just had to come back for more.
This morning, a scant fifteen hours after I rode it out of the shop, I found my motorcycle violated once again. This time you only took the right one - maybe you were having an off night. At least this time I had a spare sparkplug and the tools to fix it - or so I thought - having ordered a 73-piece toolset from SEARS.com last week. But no, the sparkplug socket in my new toolset was for American sparkplugs. So I had to go down to the neighborhood Ace hardware. They had an 18mm socket that would fit over my sparkplug, but it was for a 1/2" drive ratchet. My toolkit only has 1/4" and 3/8" ratchets. So I had to buy a 1/2" ratchet along with the socket. Even though the clerk took pity on me and gave me the senior citizen discount (I'm 25) it still cost me $22 all told. Now, you might say that I should have just gotten a 3/8"-to-1/2" drive adaptor instead of springing for the whole ratchet. And to that I say "Shut the hell up, Crackhead, I'm not finished. And besides, I was eventually going to buy a 1/2" ratchet anyway so it's probably not worth it to take it back now."
OK, now I'm rambling. But the point is, Crackhead, that you have done me wrong. Now, I get that you love crack. That is totally understandable. I've heard it is really fun, at first, and quite addictive. What I don't understand is,
YOU ARE A CRACKHEAD. WHY DON'T YOU OWN A CRACKPIPE?
I am an engineer. Do you ever see me shaking down bums in the Loin for a calculator and sliderule? No, you don't. Because engineering is the main thing I do, I went and bought myself a calculator. The main thing you do is crack. How do you get by without a crackpipe? The other crackheads must clown on you non-stop. I mean, the fucking saw you used to saw off my sparkplugs is probably worth five or ten bucks. Why not sell or trade it for a crackpipe? You really haven't put much thought into this, have you?
Please, Crackhead, please don't tell me you sold your crackpipe to buy crack. Even a stupid crackhead such as yourself couldn't possibly be that stupid.
I've decided that taping crackpipes to my motorcycle would be tantamount
Sad to say, but there are simply too many people out there that believe everything they read on the internet. Once the older generation passes on, I suspect this problem will go away, but until then scams like this and the old telephone ones will be a ripe place for ripoffs.
Never give personal information to anyone requesting in online.
when push comes to shove, will it turn out this way here too? This really changes things if ISPs are going to have to police their users. This should cause ISP rates to go up as well, which is bad for everyone.
anything would be better than now, currently everyone just clicks 'agree' w/o knowing what the hell they're agreeing to. leaves the door open for users to get the shaft for sure, plus, you should never agree to anything w/o knowing what you're agreeing to.
