100% totally agree. It feels like Burnout got "EA'd". They made the game easier and removed challenges? Why? I hope it wasnt for EA's oft-mistaken idea to make the product more accessible.
I have a theory as to why Apple aren't coming out with them until sometime next year - I believe they actually want to come out with new machines at the same time as Vista is released. Why?:
(convoluted Apple supremacy, "Teh M$ Windoze KILLA" conspiracy theory deleted)
Or, it could be that Apple has a roadmap for how long it is going to take to transition their manufacturing capability, finalize OSX on Intel, and give their ISV time to get their code running on the new OS/hardware. Occam's Razor is funny like that.
In some places the shoulder is non existant. I've tried plotting a secondary road route but the roads aren't really conducive to that. The higway is mostly sided by communities and business parks. There aren't any roads that cut through those and go all the way to my destination. I'm guessing the communities lobbied against such roads to prevent the highway traffic from spilling into their neighborhoods.
I would love to bike to work. I live nine miles from where I work and the commute is essentially a straight shot down a state highway.
I'll never do it.
The highway, while straight, level, and well paved, is heavily travelled (to the point of congestion) by annoying suburbanites driving their SUVs and talking on their cell phones instead of paying attention to the road.
At speed lane changes with no turn signals used, no checks in the mirrors, no looking out the side windows. Stopping short at lights, making right (or left) turns from the wrong lane because they forgot to get into the turn lane, etc... I've seen it all on my daily commute.
It's dangerous enough in a car. I'd be nuts to try it on a bicycle.
Panama and Grenada both fell under the Monroe Doctrine and the War Powers Act. The War Powers Act was adhered to much more strictly than it was for Iraq. Both Grenada and Panama were over and done with in less than sixty days, which is the time frame granted to the President under the WPA.
Press releases have no bearing whatsoever on the level of business relationships. Press releases happen if someone (or some-company) has enough money (~$300US) to do a wire release and has something to say. They're just an advertising medium. Nothing more, nothing less.
I could do a press release about how I just bought a tube of toothpaste at the local Kroger. The wire service(s) would happily take my money and put the story on their distribution network(s). Big whoop.
The Audigy 2 hasn't been Creative's "top end" card for a while now. The Audigy 4 was introduced quite some time ago.
The Audigy 4 has recently been surpased by the X-Fi. It's an entirely new architecture, both hardware and software.
Creative's EAX has been doing positional 3D audio with occlusion and reverberation for quite a while now. The Aureal was nice, sure, but Creative has had, and has, tech that accomplishes the same thing.
What do you mean "either of these formats"? The mandate is for PDF or for open formats, not specifically the OpenOffice format.
There are plenty of choices inside of Microsoft Office that fit the bill: TXT, RTF, HTML, or even install PDF creator from Sourceforge.net and print to PDF files.
IZarc is free and supports pretty much every compression format. But, for me at least, it constantly barfs a hairball when I try to drag-n-drop a file out of an archive that is in a nested folder. The only way to get at the file in that instance is to unpack the entire archive and then navigate to the file in Explorer. Neither WinZip, WinRar, nor 7-Zip have this problem.
Co-signing is such a bad idea. If the original certificate can't fulfil its loan obligations you'll be held liable to repay the outstanding principal + interest, or else your credit rating will suffer.
Flying in the DC area defense zone without a filed flight plan specific to the ADIZ will result in you being escorted down to the nearest airport by some Blackhawk helicopters.
Even if you are filing a flight plan to fly to a destination airport you have to file a second ADIZ specific flight plan to get you out of the ADIZ.
Geebus!
Never, *ever* during my solo x-country flights did I not know where I was.
Drop the GPS, learn to use your charts, the VORs, and your eyes. The gadgets are cool and all, but they're disrupting your training.
What an incredibly short-sighted comment. Turbine makes online game technology and online games. They have two (soon to be one) products running and two more in development. There is no way Turbine wrote a new server system for each of those games. All four of those games have servers that share a codebase to a certain degree. If Turbine open sourced the AC2 server code base they would be, in one fell swoop, giving away a huge part of the value of their company and giving nefarious players the roadmap to cause havoc on their running and future games.
dates to 1/1/94, I always will remeber that one because I thought shit these guys are working on NEW YEARS ????
Um, in a word, "no". Microsoft (and other ISVs) tend to time/date stamp all files of a given version of a piece of software with the exact same time & date. It's an added way to be able to identify if the file came from a paticular release or not.
95 is about 6-7 years after the first graphic multiplayer game was released for all major platforms (at the time).
Air Warrior was a world war II air combat simulator that ran on Macs, EGA/VGA PCs, Atari STs, and Commodore Amigas starting around 1988. At the time it ran on the GEnie network and all of the platforms played together in one virtual world.
Air Warrior ran in various incarnations, slowly losing support for STs, then EGA PCs, then Amigas, then DOS machines, and finally Macs. The last version (Win9X, Direct3D based) was finally laid to rest at the inept hands of EA on Dec 7, 2001.
"Design Rules - The secrets to a really long-lived, goal-oriented, online game of wide appeal : have multiple paths of advancement (individual features are nice, but making them ladders is better), make it easy to switch between paths of advancement (ideally, without having to start over), make sure the milestones in the path of advancement are clear and visible and significant (having 600 meaningless milestones doesn't help)...
Rule #2: Ignore all of those useful insights when designing the Jedi class in SWG.

Crimson Editor is an excellent freeware text editor for Windows. http://www.crimsoneditor.com/
B4 is a good game. B3 was better, though.

For that matter graph paper, a ruler, and a pen would work equally well.

The Autobots are the good guys. The MPAA would employ Decepticons.

Amazingly enough, ten minutes is the average time it takes Uwe Boll to script, cast, direct, edit, and release one of his films.
