How tough is this - find an open source clone of SimCity and add your own rules. It's a game - why is it Will's fault that you're planning real life with it and real life doesn't work right? Come on, this is a non-story and those people are idiots.

Ya know, I read this exact plan in an old Hardy Boys novel. That being said, I believe it said there was enough moisture in the sand to do this, and nothing about whizzing in the hole.
Nope... we're the US, the "big bad bully". They'll immediately start sanctions and the like. While asking for us to pony up more money.
I wish I could find the article that said why Russia signed - essentially, they get U.N. money while they get up to speed (because they're not polluting as much as the cap, mostly because they're still trying to get back on their feet after switching from communism), and can drop out before it affects them.

Saw the trailer, and wasn't at all impressed. Considering how cool and amazing the trailers for, well, all of Pixar's movies has been, this one seems dumb.
Tell me how many votes Badnarik got nationwide. Honestly - I went looking (CNN.COM, Foxnews.com, google) and only found contradictory evidence (LP says they got more than 1% in 8 states, Fox says they didn't crack 1% anywhere).
I did find one story with numbers. Nader: 395000 Badnarik: 377000
But I barely heard Badnarik mentioned, especially considering how much coverage Nader got.
Here's the key - find a store offering a rebate. Go to the competition, show them the ad. Since they don't have that offer, they'll sell you the item for the end price due to their same-price guarantee. And you don't have to fill out forms or anything.
Of course, this probably would make me a "devil customer".
I seem to remember that there was one (The Curse of Mordread?), and it was completed alongside DL2. However, the market had changed before it came out, where the Dragon's Lair games had basically become "has-beens", so they couldn't do anything with it. The site that carries the old DL emulator might have more info.
It's interesting, yes. I went looking through my stash for the video. I'm reminded of the "that'd be up the butt, Bob" story on The Newlywed Game. They had a special a year or two ago, and the host of The Newlywed Game said that he had told people for years that it never happened, it was an urban legend, etc... and then his people found the tape. The question was "where's the weirdest place you've had sex". Hispanic couple, the wife said "in the ass". (The husband's was "in the car")
Not that that really proves a damn thing (except that one urban legend is true), but it's a cool story.
During the 2000 election, Irving Schlossberg was found with a voting machine in the trunk of his car. He was not charged, as per Theresa LaPore, the head of elections for Palm Beach County. Oh, and both were Democrats.
I live in a no-way-in-hell-are-we-a-swing-state. We don't even get TV ads. I plan on voting Libertarian. Sure, it won't change things (at least not WRT the President), but IMO if enough people do that, it'll cause the party to look and see that they're losing people due to some of the more extremist positions.
Heck, Nader/Badnarik/etc can still change things. In a swing state, 5% of the vote would send it to the other candidate. That affects opinions and policies, if only because "otherwise we won't win".
Yes. Now go tell me what modules would be good for a party of 3-4 people, levels 4-6. The nwvault search engine came out with 50+, of which we eventually found a half-dozen worth playing. I've seen levels marked "Level 4-6" where the first comment from the developer is "You really should be 9th level". NWVault needs to enforce the basic search stats. Not to mention that voting is scattershot, plus you can't get stats (except via the "beta" method) until it has 25 votes. There are probably thousands of modules with over 1000 downloads that don't have 10 votes...(though that would really be the community's fault)
FWIW, we're playing Hidden(lost?) City of Tamoachan, then probably Wanderer II, then the original D&D Giants modules, then some Spider-woman thing.
Oh, and good luck finding good epic-level adventures. I haven't seen any that are for a party of 30+. (hence my sig)
And for those of you who haven't played the following modules (single-player), go find these:
Of course, I just realized that (1) I have no idea what version this is, and (2) the Ubuntu site has their own Torrent. I'm getting twice the download from my link, but I don't know what I'm getting... and I'm getting 50KBps downloading the Ubuntu ISO. Nevermind...
1) Does the firewall matter for most folks? I don't know about y'all, but if I'm buying a 150$ mobo for a gaming box then odds are that I already have a firewall in place.
2) SLI - the question, for a lot of gamers, will be "if I pay more for this mobo, and then buy another card in 6months/1year/etc, will I be better off than just saving whatever the latest card is?". I like the SLI idea, but since I know my wife isn't going to let me spend all that money at once, should I even bother? Will the card in 6 months or a year be equal to my new SLI setup at that point?
RealVNC: the original. TightVNC: optimized for low-bandwidth Ultra: tons of extras - file transfer, chat, video driver, NT/AD security Tridia: get around firewalls, more management features
I think I paid $70 for it at Target. Plays DivX, MPEG 1/2, Xvid, MP3s... just toss files on a CD or DVD and away you go. The Philips web site has an ISO with an upgrade, so it plays files better.
Only problem I've run into is playing PAL files on a NTSC TV - tried changing its output format, but no luck. Anyone have that working? It could be an old DivX file (it does have some problems with 3.11), I'm not sure. But, overall, this thing's amazing.
1) We use the same machine that hosts NWN for our teamspeak, but all it does is connect everyone - I believe it's a P2P app at heart. It, and NWN, can fit inside a 128kbps upload cap, even with both servers.
2) DM feature - dunno - we don't use a DM. It's very nice - if there's a problem (all the people scattered around the map, or a door where we can't find a key), someone hops in as DM, fixes, then leaves. But for 99% of the time, we don't use the DM function at all - the module and the game handle all the details.

Go look through the old Apple promo CD-ROMs... they had a video of it.
Vote or die, bitch!

Are those ECS 755-A2 mobos any good? $200 sounds good, but then I see that Fry's has a special right now: Sempron 2500 + mobo for $59.

Odd, that. That might explain why our weekly Neverwinter Nights game went off without a hitch. Teamspeak + NWN + Friends = Fun.
Heck, come to think of it, my wife finally installed it last night...
saw your sig. You serious? I gots invites.
Of course, that assumes that the claims aren't just dismissed out of hand, regardless of the law.
