Yeah.. and what about the license? Will you be allowed to make any changes to the game without breaching your contract with the company? What if you're just installing a simple mod for counterstrike? Personally I'd rather buy the games; I know that no headhunter is gonna take me to court over my +9 trainer...
Amen to that.. I LOVE this movie. It was one of those movies I knew I'd love in the first 10 minutes. The only thing I didn't really care for was the gay guy scene...
Well at least you guys had enough sense to buy foreign cars. If not for any other reason, they're just put together better, and hold up nicer./flames abound I'm sure.
Come on now... seriously though where the hell are you gonna go in 20 miles? Sure you can still pedal the bike manually, but then you got the extra weight of a damn motor to lug with you. I'm sorry but bicycles are fine the way they are. Unless the thing can go like 80 miles without refilling I wouldn't touch it. I'd just get a damn huffy or something.
Well it's against their network policy to say anything bad about their network services, but I don't think they're going to catch me this time... Dakota State University;) steer clear of this one... can't wait to get outta here...
My school currently prohibits all major p2p traffic. They have a traffic shaper installed that scrutinizes each packet to make sure it hasn't come from kazaa, or limewire or whatever... if it has then total bandwidth for those packets is a maximum of 3 k/s.
We also pay for our internet service, but our school sent out a notice at the beginning of the year stating that they are NOT an isp, therefore rules that would otherwise apply, don't. Such as the right to privacy, the right to choose your own operating system, and the rights to decent access.
My school is so completely dominated by Microsoft that they REQUIRE you have either 98,xp,or 2000 installed on your machine. Linux, MacOS, or anything else is strictly prohibited, and you can lose your internet connection for the whole year if caught. It's terrible... just terrible...
Those books were the bizomb back in the day! When I was in third grade I picked one out of the random sea of shitty little books that we had to read everyday. I actually liked it. I think I read them all within a couple months. In retrospect I shoulda paced myself, because I bombed reading for the rest of the year due to shitty books.
StrokeIt is awesome. I've been using it since the last time I read a story about mouse gesturing on/. It works great! It saves me lots of time searching for the X or the -, and I can open my favorite webpages or programs with the flick of a wrist. Not to mention girls dig drawing all over the screen with it.;)
How about a bill that keeps schools from giving out your info. I've had to hang up on 3 of the bastard telemarketers today alone. Every single day I get at least one call. It's pretty annoying.
Yeah, I'd have to say I'm pretty sick and tired of the whole idea that games affect reality. I think I'll start a game where the whole point is to terrorize the USA. Of course I'll have to publish it anonymously so no one can point any fingers except for at the people playing the game, which is done easily enough by uploading to a few warez servers. Just let the game community run with it. Sounds like a good idea. Thanks.
I'm not sure how exactly they went about hijacking a plane, but I'm pretty darn sure you can't crash it into buildings unless you're shot down, in which case it crashes in the direction it was heading.
Of course the game is buggy enough that perhaps you can do it with some kind of trick. That begs the question of whether they were searching for a way to crash planes into buildings for some reason unknown to the rest of us.
I for one play it single-player - ONLY. I don't invest very much time in RTS games, but when I do I expect to be able to duel it out with the computer, not just throw everything I have straight at their base and win. Nor do I expect that if I take more than 10 seconds to gather forces up, they automatically have a giant army that comes and beats my base down with ease. This game is very unbalanced for single-player, which is a shame because I have a TERRIBLE connection for multiplayer games, and thus do not play them.
I was never a fan of C&C. But this one caught my eye. I have played a few hours into it with China, and it has been entertaining. Albeit I have to play with the cheats because it's just too damn hard even on normal. I'm not a real big strategy game player either so that's part of the problem. What I've noticed though is no matter how many goddamn units I make, they always pop 20 more out in the blink of an eye. So basically what every level comes down to is just rushing the living hell out of everything. Time is definately of the essence.
I have played it, and the explosions are very very nice. Of course I have a gf4 so that helps. The game runs a bit sluggish even on my athlon xp 1800+ & gf4 4200, but I only have 256 mb ram so that may be a reason. If I turn down some detail like shadows then it runs just fine.
Would it BECOME standard? You're way behind buddy. I got a professor who was an intelligence officer for the army about 20 years ago, and he said they were working on new satellites that could peer through buildings. I'm sure they've got even more sophisticated technology now...

By far my favorite movie. Terribly under-appreciated.
Amen to that! Those are good points, mod this up!
By democracy you mean a government that would ally with us and give us cheap easy access to the oil fields, right?

It was nice to read this article after so much of the Iraq news. I'm not looking forward to being bombarded with propaganda for the next few months...
Amen to dell.

You do realize the definition of moot is 'arguable' don't you? Thought so.. just a little wisdom spread throughout by the grammar nazi.
I think you might need a little bit more than coffee after that post...

Yeah I don't know what you've been smoking but the last 2 missions I've done have required some carpet bombing...

Speaking of a bad link... the one above doesn't work even after I tried to fix it by taking out the 2 other unneccessary duplicates.
