XII's battle system was essentially just XI's MMO system turned single-player, but as a person who had never played an MMO, I found it very fresh and interesting.
That game actually supported the PS mouse, but it worked OK with a controller.
The biggest problem was slowdown, unlike newer C&C console games there was no unit cap so Skirmish games often turned into a slow morass.
Buggy unit pathfinding on harvesters often led them to get stuck on walls or buildings and that caused massive slowdown... using the nuke cheat to blow them up was a quick fix.:)
Our 4770Ks will still have much better performance per dollar than these E-chips.
I'm not happy to find that we got gimped out of VT-d by buying the current top chip, however. Being able to (possibly) run Windows only in a VM for gaming while using Linux as the host would be awesome.
I don't see a problem with this system at public schools (where the college cops actually count as state employees I think), but I don't really agree with it if used at a private school.
So basically if you pirate Win 7 you have to turn off Windows update.
There is one specific update you have to not download from Windows Update to avoid having your install become non-genuine, and that is made trivial by using the "hide update" feature. You can otherwise update as normal.
Our laser technology is nowhere near being able to deliver that kind of power from geostationary orbit to ground level, having to penetrate nearly the entire atmosphere in the process.
Two types of pigment give hair its color: eumelanin and pheomelanin. Pheomelanin colors hair orange and yellow. All humans have some pheomelanin in their hair. Eumelanin, which has two subtypes of black or brown, determines the darkness of the hair color. A low concentration of brown eumelanin results in blond hair, whereas a higher concentration of brown eumelanin will color the hair brown. High amounts of black eumelanin result in black hair, while low concentrations give gray hair.
Pheomelanin is more chemically stable than black eumelanin, but less chemically stable than brown eumelanin, so it breaks down more slowly when oxidized. This is why bleach gives darker hair a reddish tinge during the artificial coloring process. As the pheomelanin continues to break down, the hair will gradually become orange, then yellow, and finally white.
I once dated a lady who would scoop up and carry out of the house any such critter and set them free in the corner of the yard. She said it was her Buddhist belief to not intentionally harm any living creature.
All of the most vital functions of the human body (breathing, digestion, the immune system) kill countless microorganisms in the course of their activities.
How is this information rectified with a commitment to non-violence? Just curious.
Does EA's CEO have any response to the fact that SimCity's "simulation" is so trivial that optimal play involves have 100% residential zones, no taxes, and no services of any kind?
A 5th grader with a pencil and a piece of paper could come up with a more realistic simulation that this.
It's rare to find a company that can truly create a market that doesn't exist.
Nike did this with athletic footware. They effectively said all previous vigorous human activity had be done un-ergonomically and then proposed their own solution.
Today's ROT13 gag generated lots of butthurt, especially from Anonymous Cowards. Even some of the copypasta ninjas steered clear of the stories for a whole day.
Maybe it wasn't funny, but it was satisfying. Kudos.:)
China's nuclear warhead stockpile (~240 warheads) is similar in size to that of the UK and France. The US and Russia, meanwhile, have ~8000 warheads apiece.
On this measure, China is clearly not in the same category.

That's a good description of XII, actually.
XII's battle system was essentially just XI's MMO system turned single-player, but as a person who had never played an MMO, I found it very fresh and interesting.
XII's AI scripting was entirely optional. Any boredom from using it would have been self-inflicted.
Playing through the whole game with no gambits and no "pause while in menus" makes combat much more difficult. Give it a try!

Of course it would be, you don't ever hear of a metal band with some pansy ass name like Jupiter.
Heh... in fact...

The KDE bouncy icon upon program launch can be changed in the cursor settings, no need to switch to Gnome over that.
Dear god, Adobe Flash ran remotely in the cloud... terrifying!

Any sources for this? I don't see any mention of MTs to MWs in the various articles about the bankruptcy or any mention of the Russians as creditors.

I think you are correct... from Wikipedia:

Anyone with real breaking news in the tech field already knows better than to announce it today.
The infamous Linux disabling PS3 update was released on April 1st... perhaps to get mileage out of the "nothing really happens today" attitude.

Since Duke3D has been open sourced running it natively seems a better idea, especially on something without excess CPU power like the Pi.
They are actually a bargaining chip for China. If China reels in North Korea, then these missile interceptors near their borders will be removed.
The summary clearly states the interceptors are going to the US Pacific coast.
