You are taking issue with our (USA) freak out fest regarding the hidden minigame simly because America has a far larger number of killings than sex crimes? Does that mean you are giving the people who do not like this game a green light because it's obvious glorification of violence, especially against police and women is a bad thing? Let me stand in THAT line because I think the industry as a whole is greatly unbalanced in the amount of emphasis the put on violence against what we should expect are the 'good guys' which I know is not P.C. now days to say authorities are the good guys and they, for he majority, are doing their best to do the right thing. Oops.
It's like the makers of this game said "Let's see how far we can take it... Let them eat cake!"
When I first read this headline I thought this was yet another discussion on alternative energy sources! I was anxious to hear about someones conversion of a hamster wheel power generator for their beowolf cluster!
Seriously though. I've thought about it but rarely would I have an opportunity to disconnect myself that to that level. Unless I go to my wife's native country where you're lucky to have power let alone a technogadget.
Yeah, my machine isn't very quiet now that you mention it. Either my case or what but I can't keep the thing under 48c, which annoyes me to no end. So I decided to leave it at that and ignore it.;)
okay be nice. I have an XP 2400+ w/512M and a FX5200 w/128M and it runs just fine in 8x6, even though it's not set to max gfx, it still is smooth and I was able to complete it in a couple days.
I agree with what you said, but considering the MOD's post I was mainly thinking of the modifications people do to become who they aren't. No matter how much a vamp tries, he/she will never be what the mythical person is. As canines are replaced, hearts changed to a lack of pulse, there is so much more than needs to happen that is beyond todays science.
But with that being said, I can completely agree that what a person becomes out of work, fun, or living their life sometimes don't mirror who they feel they are in the inside.
I was thinking more of the "Why can't people love themselves for themselves" without taking into consideration your views on that they are, and shaping their outward appearance can mirror their inward appearance.
Parent is on topic, especially the validity of so many elective surgeries now days and the fact that the world is obsessed with making themselves different than who they truly are.
If we can flag comments funny because they make a point of the uses of these devices, we can mod this guy insightful for thinking of potentially valid uses of the product in discussion here.
Great Jookie way to go, you just got your uncle sacked!
Seriously... any way you think about it-emulating the x86 chip on a different processor is nothing but trouble. They (M$) made their bed and now they need to lay in it. Go with the friggin' Transmeta or something!
How insightful. Blame the customer for being poorly informed. Your statement would make sense if this was the first time Apple did this sort of thing. I used to have to monitor the spy sites who would watch the plastic production facilities for discontinuing work on current products to know there was a new one on the way from Apple.
Another example is their Operating System releases. No direct upgrade path from Jaguar to Panther, and the same looks to be true from Panther to Tiger. Oh sure, every year or two let's sink another $120+ USD into a new OS that isn't more then a glorified SP with a few goodies thrown in to make me giggle.
See the problem is this article made no mention of Linux or how evil Microsoft is. This is/. after all. If you want to get more posts, make a comment about how Microsoft's new OS is going to natively support solar sell power management and that Linux needs to create another Sourceforge project to provide it for free.
I think the majority of the people not lurking and posting are people who actually feel passionate about free energy. I am just waiting for a Linux geek touting that he is running a Beowolf Cluster on 100% solar power.
I never knew this! After buying Falcon 4.0 (the special edition with the 3-ring binder manual) and getting so frustrated with the bugs, destroyed all evidence and moved on (Thank goodness for NovaLogic) it's good to know that things happened the way they were, but I still won't give up my copy of BF1942 w/the Desert Combat mod!
It may be old, but it still has teeth-at least the manufacturing companies still believe it to be true, as it's obvious by the products they produce and is far from being false.
Are you saying that the only CREATIVE beast is Apple? if so we are all doomed.
The problem with any hardware manufacturers taking lessons from Apple is their particular innovation is hampered by Apple's legal team. Unfortunately anything that looks like is attacked with the legal wolf's Mr. Jobs has under his fingertips.
As for your comparison, the thing is Apple did do it right with the iPod but when I had one I was always afraid of scratching the unit, dropping the unit, or harming it as it was so 'pretty'-I ended up buying the iSkin for it to protect it shortly before I returned it to the store (if someone wants the iSkin let me know I'll post it off to you) but there are other players out there that come very close, the thing is... Once you start going into that similar area you fear legal action, again restricting creativity. Just because Apple did it doesn't mean no one else can do it.
I do agree the prototype device is ugly and bulky, but most people would agree if you plan on allowing video to display there are limitations on how 'portable' this device can be.
Even though you *can* do multiple projects at one time, you have to run seperate applications (if I'm correct) so this would be a good integration into one application that handles multiple projects and allows your machine to be used more efficiently.
Sounds like a great way for Microsoft to force people to switch to an alternate filesystem.
This just doesn't make too much sense to me, although not a lot does when it comes to companies choosing to use litigation as a business practice.
What I can now imagine if this goes through is that there will be class-action lawsuits to force driver support in all Microsoft products for the filesystems the manufacturers switched to because they didn't want to pay royalty fee's to Microsoft.
Way to go Microsoft! At this rate everyone will hate you not just the Linux Zealots!
You're defending this particular blog as the focus of my rants, when actually I was pulling a rather large blanket and covering most of them with it. The fact that this particular blog discusses things like the administration's tax cuts, etc. is an admirable thing but are they being fair regarding those things, delivering the reader issues and topics from both sides or just his? I tell you what I won't go to them for information regarding tax cuts, i'll go to the source. Just like someone shouldn't ask Bob the mechanic how to repair a water heater in your house, you go to a plumber specialist that is experienced in the matters.
The whole matter of applying any more credit beyond an individuals opinion is what my focus is. To give that person the ability to sway and control an individual solely in their perspective is giving that blogger much more power then they deserve. Choose your sources of information wisely, don't narrow your focus, always get both sides, and remember to always buckle up.
What I meant Anonymous Coward was that blogs are seem to be worshiped beyond what I would have ever imagined them to be. Sure Bob has an interesting life, and his point of view is a good way to round out life of the reader-but should someone hang on his every word? Give him status that his words may potentially effect anothers lifestyle, etc.?
Perhaps it's the way I wrote it, but I was more focusing on the strange nature of blogging as the defacto way for someone to get a soapbox to air their dirty laundry of life. If blogs were indeed as insightful as you give them credit for I think we would all be for the better but most often it is just a vehicle to push an individuals agenda and giving it power beyond that is wrong.
Yeah but the thing is here is a forum where people come to discuss things... Loads of different minds and different opinions get thrown out in masses... you pick through the mindless dribble (80%?) and assimilate what you desire. Blogging on the other hand is focused from one particular individual's mind and more than likely from a complete idiot who thinks he is cool for posting stuff on his own personal website.
Since the articles on/. are hand picked by staff then we are nothing more than a pack of dogs waiting for the alpha to throw us a bone...
fascinating that people others want to know their daily rants and raves, what even fascinates me more is the people who read them. Are most bloggers some famed person who has achieved greatness and is willing to give insight into how they do what they do? No, it's bob the mechanic down the hill that repaired a faulty transmission on a '62 Buick the other day who just so happens to have a really cool website with his own personal blog section.

Okay so let me get this right...
You are taking issue with our (USA) freak out fest regarding the hidden minigame simly because America has a far larger number of killings than sex crimes? Does that mean you are giving the people who do not like this game a green light because it's obvious glorification of violence, especially against police and women is a bad thing? Let me stand in THAT line because I think the industry as a whole is greatly unbalanced in the amount of emphasis the put on violence against what we should expect are the 'good guys' which I know is not P.C. now days to say authorities are the good guys and they, for he majority, are doing their best to do the right thing.

WEDGE: That's impossible, even for a computer.
LUKE: It's not impossible. I used to bull's-eye womp rats in my
T-sixteen back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.
Hey stupid is more like it... Anything else and the fear of being sacked overwhelmes me :(

Parent is on topic, especially the validity of so many elective surgeries now days and the fact that the world is obsessed with making themselves different than who they truly are.

didn't bring in the guy who needed my help to wire transfer funds, I am anxious and still waiting to get my money!
everyones comments have been well stated and I admit that I was wrong.
;)
Btw, thx mod for making my parent post flamebait-I guess any opposing point of view is flamebait to someone with the likes of you!

fyi, I don't see the point of them. Hate is not something I would apply to this particular topic.
