I was under the impression that most of these guys were lucky to have water or guns that worked.
Just because there is doubt of the outcome is no reason to allow yourself to understimate your enemy. Of course all the credible military consultants knew insurgancy would be the problem before the invasion was even launched, our government (read: CNN and FOX news), just decided the American public didnt need to know this.
Its alot like the DK serise in how you build your base and have minions. And its alot of fun in this way...However the fact that you have to tag every enemy manually is a real pain in the ass...especially when your base gets really fricking huge. Oh also be warry of keeping the HUGE russian henchman at home...since he like to use his rocket launcher to light your whole damn base on fire. Its a good game...but I wouldnt spend the money on it...$5 for dk 2 is a sweet deal...and its more fun anyway.
Its not really rts in the way that C&C or warcraft is at all...thats a totally different genera.
So 1 gram antimatter + 1 gram matter is about 39 kT of TNT. Hiroshima was about 20 kT, Nagasaki was 13 kT, so one gram antimatter would release just a scosh more than both devices.
6kT is just a scosh? Thats an interesting defintion of scosh...
I have a microsoft (yeah I know) sidewinder headset and hub, and I love useing the voice command and chat for gaming. It works especially well for flight simulator types where you have to give commands to your wingmen. The only thing I dont like about it is being 'locked' in to old unsupported microsoft software. So if anyone wants to do an open source project thats compatable with this thing, I would be eternally grateful.
As an accountant, I'd hate to go to jail because I did the taxes for someone who turned out to be a terrorist. I'd hate it so much, that I might turn down business from a lot of people that I thought *might* be terrorists. Certain classes of people might then find it awfully hard to get their taxes done at a reasonable price. *Thats* the problem with this section.
Well, Im pretty damn sure that if I thought somebody was a terrorist then I probably wouldnt want to be doing buisness with them anyway. If these people find it hard to get their taxes done, oh well. I'd rather have that on my consciounce then to have helped them stay in buisness another year (by not getting audited or whatever not doing their taxes would do).
I had some other points to make, but im not sure what they are now. So thats it for now.
I have read some posts saying that 'terroist' organizations may or may not have anything to do with 'terrorism' but I still dont understand why they are calling this a victory for civil liberties. I agree that the patriot act is infringing upon our civil rights, but I do not understand how attacking it in this way will accomplish anything.
It seems to me that if an organization is truely 'terrorist' then experts should not be supporting or advising them, regardless of weather or not their advise has anything to do with violence. It seems safe to assume that any sort of support or advise will in some way help the organization to continue its operations. If these organizations are dedicated to social change by means of violence, and I think most of us agree that that goal is less than exlemplary, then I see no reason why it should'nt be illegal to provide them with advise or support.
I think maybe we need to think more before we applaud this as a 'victory against the patriot act'. I think instead of strikeing down this particular item, we should instead make it more effective by maintaining an accurate and upto date list of truely terrorist organizations in the world.
IMHO if these organizations become 'handsoff' for experts, so much for the better.
Norton Antivirus (which may manifest itself as Microsoft Word being very slow to start).
I noticed this earlier this morning, thanks for the information on the cause. Is there any word on a fix? Other than the obviouse dont use word/norton?
Just a thought I had while reading this article...
Why not have a bluetooth relay, sort of like a chain letter except that it doesnt replicate. In other words the person that starts the relay hands it off to the next person, they hand it to the next person, and so forth...
Just think of all the interesting data you could come up with this way...
Of course that brings up all the horrible Ideas you could use it for too...
Well Im off to think about using this for an orineteering meet.
I just watched underworld, I didn't see anything subtle as all that. I SAW a fucking whole white frame with the dots on it...It happend like 3 times during the movie.
If you have to have a ground based laser(s) to make them work, wouldnt that severly limit the range of any possible craft? How would you fly over the ocean? Or in bad weather? What happens if one laser in a flight path is broken or malfunctioning?
In short Im not reall sure how useful such a technology would be as applied to airplanes. However Im sure there are plenty of other possiblilties that 'remote power sources' could turn into reality.
Max Payne 2 is developed by Finnish Remedy Entertainment, which sold the rights to the Max Payne name to Rockstar Games after the first game in the series a little over two years ago."
This seems rather confusing to me, is it a missprint? If not could someone clarify it please.
Just wondering why all the "cool" popular science articles are always mentioned on slashdot two weeks after I get my copy, have read it, and filed it somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind...
...since the real value is the multiplayer aspect anyways
Um...NO! I just have to say that as a single player game, NWN was very impressive, However on the multiplayer side it sucked big time. However it did get us to restart an old D&D pen and paper group around here...
KEANU Reeves turned his moribund career around by taking the part of Neo. But it could have been a lot different. Ewan McGregor and Will Smith both turned down the part before the Speed star snapped it up.
Hmm...matrix with Ewan McGregor...I can see it, maybe...but not nearly as *cool* as the real one.
Will Smith, UGH! That would have been a disaster...He would have destroyed what is truely a classic movie!
Perhaps I'm missing something here but what is the pupose of putting retna prints on a card? As I understand it retnal prints can be used for identification. To me this means they could be used for security by keeping them in a database. Then whenever someone wants acess to the secured building/materials/whatever they get their retna scanned to verify that they have clearance.
Wouldnt putting the prints on id's just make identity theft one step easier?
I personally wanted to do computer engineering, hawever have been accepted to compsci. As I understand it the diffrence is that engineers work more with Networks, and how hard ware integrates with software. Its the comp sci guys who build the software that the engineers need to make work.
Anyway since theres over 500 comments I doubt anyones going to read this, but if you do. Reply to prove me wrong....
My school implimented bess 2 weeks ago. In less than 10 seconds I had defeted it.
The first and most obvious way to get past bess is to simply tell the broweser not to use a proxy server. Since the school in question uses deepfreeze it was a simple matter of going to tools, internet options, and the connections tab. Click lan settings. Then uncheck use a proxy server.
Through basic reserch I figured out that bess simply has a list of web sites it wont let you go to. There are ALOT of websites this list doesnt include that can be used as gateways to other sites. EX: Use www.MSN.com to get to www.hotmail.com. and it works fine.
On another intresting note it seems that bess appends its information panel to any page containing a pearl script, can anyone confirm this?

Hey Thats pretty much what I got this summer, and it's really cool, just make sure you put it somewhere where you can turn it up. Damn neighbors always complain, butthe sound is awesome.
Ive been doing this for almost 2 years, using the worldcraft 2.1 tool for the halflife engine, Ive designed and built my own garadge using it. Ive also designed maps of my house, a school and the office. So this really isnt that new of an Idea.
