This does not seem like that big of a deal to me. Scan the papers. Once you know what you're doing it shouldn't take more than a few seconds to scan a page. I've done this on cheap ($100) consumer hardware, it's not bad.
No matter the format, a 100+ page PDF file of pictures of text is going to be bigger than a text document. Get over it.
What kind of University of Hick doesn't have a scanner anyway.
When playing EverQuest, I can no longer go into windowed mode and then back to full-screen mode. I get to windowed mode fine, but if I try to go back to full screen all I get is a black screen.
I have 12 or so boxes that I maintian (friends PC's), mostly ATI cards inside, and have never seen or heard of your problem.
To assemble a thoughtful, introspective article? Come on, this is just flame bait on a larger scale. Granted it's not NYT calibur flame bait, but a real flamer it is.
All Kasavin has is an insipid remark about Samus. Apparently it's not possible to look good and save the universe at the same time. The only other real complaint is an admision that he sucks at ICO which is twisted into blaming Yorda. The rest of the article is a list of exceptions and apologies. It's a subject worth exploring, but this article is doing more harm than good.
Mario and Luigi eventually developed more personality.
I think the only hope for this movie is an extreme abstraction of the "plot".
I also hoped the Final Fantasy movie would be good. I was very forgiving of it but eventually I had to wise up and realize that it sucked ass. If you're going to drop over a hundred million on a movie, perhaps you should get the appropriate tallent to back it instead of stroking your own ego and using million dollar bills for a jizz mop.
I know someone who has a lot of breathing related issues and got one of those "Rainbow" vacumes. The kind with the water filter instead of a bag. They run it for a while every day or so, even if they aren't cleaning with it. As time has gone on, the waste water has become less filthy after each use. He's extatic with it, and claims he hardly ever has respitory problems anymore. Seems to me for their purpose, and yours, you could build something that does much the same thing for a few bucks.
Something like an oversized bong and an old Kerby.
I understand the need to hsve integrity in what is reported. Any person trying to stifle a collection of facts (which is what HardOCP had/has), should be strung up like a traitor.
That's a lot of politicians we're going to have to hang.
You could apply *exactly* the same argument about the US and USSR.
Don't forget when you pass that homeless guy on the street that it was US that were playing the "me too" game 40 years ago. Fact is putting something in space isn't that expensive in the grand scheme of things and it's good for nationalism.
I think a lot of people are turned off by the ridiculous job requirements and the blatant posting of non-existant posititions.
This is a fine summation of my personal iritation. It would be better if there were an easy way to determine if the job actually existed. On another note... Companies/HR staff may whine about the quality of applicants, but they're doing it to themselves. So many jobs are listed with "requirements" that aren't. I know of a few of these "inadequate" applicants who eventually got the job because the actual job didn't really require those things. One in particular found that they(the company that hired them) were shocked that someone with that skill set wanted real *cash money*. So even though he was not in their desired list, he got the job because the company ultimately decided that for the money they really didn't *need* someone with 5 years experience with C(++), Java, and SQL on Mac/Windows AND Unix.
Networking is definately the way to go. I've seen time and time again people having the exact same experience as you. If you do good work and keep in touch with your co-workers you'll have a much easier time of it.
That many pixels in that little space is going to be difficult to use "native" when gaming. Add to that even a mobile 9700 will have trouble driving it at a reasonable frame rate with many modern games.
Scaling will be all kinds of ugly if you run at a lower resolution, not considering the oddball dimentional ratio.
It's a nice machine, but for myself (and I think a lot of others), I'll wait for a version with a smaller screen, and a smaller price.
Just not the way you might think. The American variety that are sucessful just provide a network and internet access integrated with other products/services (often a coffee shop). Consider the integration of the grocery store with the gas station, department stores, and for that matter the modern "mall". What was once a single shop has become a conglomeration of businesses banding together to give you more reason to come to their location than make several stops elsewhere. Not just to make more money, but to survive. Considering that the average American can surf/game from home, paying to sit elsewhere for internet/web access is questionable. Unless you can attract people with another product, you're going to have a very difficult time. Coffee shops are not really internet cafe's they're coffee shops that provide internet access and put up with you lounging around in order to make money selling burnt bean juice.
Usually it begins as dismay when the installer crashes.
Followed by confusion when the developers message boards are bursting at the seams with people complaining, the front, and support pages mention nothing. Eventually I find some obscure board that the workaround usually involves using virtual drive software to get around the copy protection.
The graphics pipline has matured as much as it will for a long while. There's very little in the way of eye candy that you cannot do on modern day hardware. Speed will improve, but graphics has become a money problem instead of a technical one. In essence, the revolution is over. The real progress is going to be in the redistribution of technical effort into levening of entertainment value.
Uh oh. Off topic stuff below....
Some have said lately that the ease of developing a modern engine is a terrible thing. I disagree. It's been about 20 years since a single individual could develop something that was both decent visually and fun. Consider the Independan Games Festival's entrants page for 2003 http://www.igf.com/2003entrants.shtml
games produced by hobbists that still still need teams, run up tens of thousands in costs, and take years of time to get to their (not always) finished state.
Richard Garriot had a very limited number of pixels to work with when developing the early Ultima's which eased his burden enormously. Since then it's all been about the number of people in your art department, and the engine you liscense. The power and flexability of modern hardware is making development, code and art, less costly. For the casual developer, what has been just too much work to bother is becoming more trivial. I think we will be seeing activity in the hobiest gaming arena that has been absent for a very long time.

An engineer working at Boeing once told me that with enough thrust even an F-16 could fly...
er enterprise I mean.
SCO was a fairly linux friendly operation until a few years ago. All it takes is one man to redirect an organization.

You imply that /. editors can read. I am not sure this is the case.
http://www.asktheheadhunter.com/index.htm has information on just about anything a job hunter would want to know.
The bulk of it boils down to getting to know people that work where you want to work, and keep your dignity intact.
That's a pretty fine nit to pick considering that "Star Wars" was released without any kind of flight at all.

You can't buy redundancy like this.
Usually you have to submit stories Taco for it.
You can see some photographs of the real site here... http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/ With some comentary contrary to the premise of the game.

Put a turd in a gold box and call it Zelda and you'll be a rich bastard by the weekend.

Hi, I'm the internet's Jay Stile.
I'd like to setup my media server on your network.
Don't fret, there are people sitting around doing nothing other than inviting people.
Odd that your "Friends" list doesn't seed your network automagically. I would have thought this a no-brainer.

Pfft. You can do that at a 4 year school and spend twice that.

Who says I'm not serious? :-D
If your penis doesn't enlarge when you rub cream on it, maybe you're buying the wrong product.
I'd go as far to say most games evoke emotions...

Followed by anger when what game there is, sucks.
