Btw, it's nice to see that MS *is* scared of Linux and considers it a serious competition, because they now know they have to improve and adapt Windows or fall behind.
The blood was black, not green. And the whole story line got changed. The soldiers were supposed to be cyborgs and the black blood their motor oil (sounds weird, I know). Also, roughly 25% of the cut scenes were missing (all violent scenes cut out), which made some of my German friends think Kane was the good guy. *G*
By the way, I think Westwood censored the game voluntarily to get an ages 16+ rating (18+ games can't be sold publicly in Germany, so almost no one buys them plus most stores won't sell something they can't put on display).
Similar things happened to C&C: Red Alert (C&C 2 in Germany), C&C 2: Tiberium Sun (C&C 3 in Germany) and other games (Soldier of Fortune, Tomb Raider). It did *not* happen to Starcraft, Diablo and Diablo 2, which is strange, considering the amount of violence these games contain (they got a 16+ rating).
Btw, you *can* legally import the US version (or buy it if you find a store that has it) if you live in Germany, but it's expensive and most Germans prefer the translated (and censored) versions anyway.
The DivX codec, which allows compression of DVD movies down to CD-ROM size with almost no quality loss (depends on the length of the movie, anything over 90 minutes and the quality loss will be noticeable, but not annoying), has been around for months, if not a year. It's actually a cracked/modified version of the MPEG-4 codec, I think.

I hear you, Dave.
Okay, then please open the word processor, will you?
I'm afraid I cannot do that, Dave.
Where's the problem?
I think you know that as well as I do.
What do you mean by that?
Your license has expired, Dave. It is no use to talk to you any longer. Good bye.

So I guess a closed OS has no advantages, then?

walk.stop makes no sense. It should be walk.stop(), since it is a function.
Hah. I actually found an error in someone else's code. Am I good or what?
