Actually it DOES have voice activation. You just have to edit the.ini fgile to activate it and set the volume level. They dont give you a way to set this up in the main game.
This is the same counter given to every law that triesd to combat spam. They are always unenforcable.
I dont think there is ANYTHING that can be done by governments that will reduce spam levels. The spammers know its wrong, but they dont care.
If anything they will AVOID using these tags, a they know their emails will be filtered out if they include them. A spammer is after eyeballs on emails.
The real problem, as ever, are the people who BUY services from spammers. Cut off their income.
One thing to consider is whether the radio client dewvices are going to be sttic (like laptops left setup on a desk) or mobile (like handheld PDA's for example)
If you are having static devices that get setup, connected then left in place for the duration then you can get away with using cheaper network switches. However, if youa re using mainly mobile devices then you can get disconnections as the user roams between access points on different cheaper switches.
This has happened to some of our customers using handheld barcode scanners as they network equuipment could not perform the handoff between access pints quick enough, logging the radio user off.
Not really directly answering your question but its something to consider.
That might be true, but since most haves have dreadfully long developemnt cycles, by concentrating on DX9 they can be reasonably sure that when the game is released there will be lots of DX9 supporting hardware available out there.
By concentrating on the newest and best upon release day only , say, 5% of peple will have the hardware that utilises the DX10 only features.
(If I remember correctly you had to kick yourself over backwards on the chair, hitting your head on the floor, which made you angry, which turned you into the Hulk. That might be totally wrong though)
I played lots of the older RTS games like the original Command And Conquer , but got frustrated with them after a while and so haven't played any for ages.
I too picked up Homeworld 2 on a friends recommendation, and managed to get severely whipped on level 2 or 3.
My main grip with these games is that there seems to only ever be one specific way to complete a level. Specifically the maps where you are given a set number of troops, have no way of receiving re-enforcements, and yet are expected to take out an entire enemy base or get all the way across a large map. That's probably more true of the older ones, like C&C, which is certainly why I stopped playing them.
One RTS that I did get on quite well with was Warcraft 3. That has a pretty good learning curve, but does still have a couple of the 1-unit-against-the-world style levels.

Oh trust me... I am... :)
Any intelligent person would have a quick hunt around the official game forum to see if a feature is available.
Chances are if you think it would be a good idea then someone has already asked (and asnwered) the question on the forums.

It works pretty well too.
If the physics implementation is anything like the one in Bridge Construction Set then it should be superb.
BCS was pure class.
I'll certainly be trying the demo of this one.

I've just bought a brand new case.

I'm willing to bet that by the time HL2 is actually released my case will look just as rusty as his

Same arguments for an unsolvable problem.

Its far too early to save it.
I reckon I'll be 'saving' it to a couple of CD-Roms in about a years time....

Hehehe,

My spelling goes right out the window when I'm typing fast
Cue the obligatory "Only on MS machines" comments....
I'd like to see a pirate based AAAaarrrr-PG.

Parent got modded funny....?
I think the post is about right, and judging from some later posters Sisandra rated it around 3900+

... have to release this and their next film "Cars" with Disney. After that, they no longer have to have their films distributed by Disney.
Also Disney gets the rights to any sequels for these films, if Pixar refuses to make sequels for them. (Like Toy Story 3)

If you are going to psot the same comment as a previous poster, then so shall I.
CURSES!
That was supposed to say "most games"
Curve my aversion to post preview.

In the Parallel universe where George Bush is in Mensa, Slashdot is actually a site where gorgeous IT chicks post personal ads trying to get dates.
some new Thief game
!!!!
This is one of the most anticipated games out there. I for one an salivating at the prospect of there being Review code available next month.
Ahha, but the meteor could have been 2Bn years old, but only crashed into our humble planet 250Mil ytears ago.
This is a topic that is open to mass debate.
The FAQ also says that animated images are not allowed.
Insane logic would be to coat the switch with peanut butter then hold out a ferral squirrel with tongs so the rabid rodent flips the switch.
Anyone remember Gobliins 2? That had insane puzzles just like this.
Gobliiins 1 and Goblins3 were a bit better though.
All three were great games regardless.

Did you try:- "Turn into hulk"

I think I'm in the same boat as you.
