I'm just writing to inform you that you will not receive anymore of my business regarding your position on gaming software algorithms patents. I have canceled my order for the Maximum-power 6.1 sound system and will take my business elsewhere. I have supported Creative since I first got my computer, but I do not approve of this disregard for gamers and I'm quite saddened by your position.
It all seems very pointless to me. Are these cameras really gonna to stop a terrorist from doing anything? I think we all understand that they will do ANYTHING, including taking their own lives for the sake of their cause.
they know there will be cameras, and they'll work their way around them if that have to. If they don't attack at the convention, they'll target something else to get their point accross.
Wasn't it Chomsky that said if we really want to stop the terrorists, we should stop participating in state wide terrorism ourselves?
yeah that's a real bright idea.
"Maybe if we make ourselves look like complete assholes, people will buy our muffins!"
I think (hope) this will hurt them more than help them.
It is my feeling that id software has lost their innovative edge. I mean, their games really aren't that great anymore. The new innovative ideas and risks that they took with wolf3d, doom, and quake made them really shine above the rest. But it seems to me that after Quake, the innovation gasped it's last breath.
Wolf3d: A completely new type of game and cool theme.
Doom: Amazing graphics at the time. Amazing story and theme. Multiplayer over the phone line.
Quake: 3D world. Multiplayer anytime with up to 16 players via internet. Part of the source released. Water:)
Quake 2: Opening cinematic. Quake 3: cd-keys. built-in server browser. A big prayer that the mod community can save this shit game from the depths of BOREDOM.
iD better have some pretty good tricks up their sleeves to save Doom 3 from the train of complete failure. I don't think that backpedalling to single player is gonna do it either. Co-op type game makes more sense to me, or both. Maybe I'll be surprised. But from what I've seen over the last few years, I just don't think it's gonna happen.
Dr Dre's no gangster. He's a pro wrestler. He's a fuckin' T-shirt. A phony for the masses. The same moronic mass that really believes downloading mp3s is immoral and stealing. It's so annoying that this kind of shit is even an issue. Oh well.. who cares.
There's nothing more god aweful than when my kids some how accidentally find themselves in porn land without any way of escape. It happends and I don't think it's because my kids are looking for it. I am able to supervise most of the time, and sometimes they need me to rescue them from the jaws of pop up window porn hell. It's really embarrassing when you just can't kill them! Left and right! windows regenerating like it's nothing! "NOO!!! LEAVE MY DADDY ALONE!!!!" "AHHHH!!!" "THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM!!!" "OH MY GOD, HONEY! ARE YOU OKAY?!" "STAND BACK! I'M GONNA NUKE IT!"
It's my feeling that this is an invaluable weapon against these god aweful pop up windows and banners. Also this would be a great feature when I'm on my laptop equiped with a 14.4. Download webpages is hell. I would use lynx, but you can't get the layout of the page. I beg of you, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE include this feature. Thank you.
Not only is Robin Williams an amazing comedian, but he is also an amazing drama actor. What are the freaking odds? Not even Jim Carey has that much talent. I can't think of anyone as talented as Mr. Williams. Can anyone else?
Also Canada doesn't censor their television. Maybe they don't suck so much after all.:)
I have a voodoo3 3000 and I installed all the drivers. I can get Q3 to run but it's in a small box (not fully screen) and it's runs super slow. I can get the game started so I know the glide drivers are working, it's just small screan (about 600x600) Any help on how to fix this?
I SERIOUSLY think this is a MAJOR asset to the game. I WISH you would seriously think about implementing it. This would take TEAM games to the next level. I've always known id for being very innovative, but if you release Q3 without voice communication, I feel the innovation will stop here. I'll be honest, i'll still buy it without voice communication. However, I really really really really really wish you would put it in. It would be so much fun to trash talk. It makes me think of the movie "White Men Can't Jump."
"It's hard, so hard, to make you look so bad."
And if you're a player that feels you don't want to hear a bunch of people screaming into a mic while you play, you can just goto the option menu and turn voice communication off. There's no reason why the rest of us should do without.
"dude, I only have 5 rockets." "ok, what impulse is it again?" "22"
I have a bad feeling this will inspire kids to go on the internet and try to be hackers. But instead we'll have a rush of script kiddies on our hands. AOL KEYWORD: HAX0R
I am so sick of the bullshit movies hollywood is regurgitating. Their movies are a big money making steaming pile of bullshit. Big explosions, PG-13, love story, gimmicky load of crap. Because that's what keeps them rich. I rarely go to the movies because I find it hard to sit trough the 'previews.' When i'm sitting there watching a preview, the only thing I can see is a group of people trying to create a 3 minute clip that will sell their next movie in the summer time. I fine the whole hollywood movie scene completely insulting to my intelligence. So my girlfriend wanted me to see BlairWitch Project with her, so I did. I watched the damn previews which included the money making actors/actresses. Then, for the first time in a long time, I saw a very creative and original film. It even scared me. I wonder what kind of effects making millions will have on the sequel. That will be interesting to see. They wouldn't dare make another original film when they have a almost a sure shot of making millions off a sequel.
I think this is pretty cool idea. I don't have any geeky friends of my own to discuss things with, so I can just listen to you assholes and hope I agree with one of you. Oh i'm also glad you put it in.mp3 format cause whenever I try to play anything with RV I get a SEG fault. Say.. anyone know why that is? i'm running Debian 2.1 128MB ram, Diamond S3D 4mb.
To think that they would actually ban these "BAD" words in domain names? Why the would anyone be so stupid as to do that. What you don't want your children to see your links to shitfetish.com? assfuck.com? Hey maybe those domain names offend someone. Guess what, it doesn't offend me. If it offends you I suggest not having and children that are weak and can handle real life like you. PLEASE don't have children. I BEG you. We don't need anymore weak people on this planet. If you can't handle words, bloodshed, brutality, and sex, please do not have children just like YOU.
Like TV if it offends some people, they have to take it from the rest of the people. But with TV they don't want children exposed to those words. What about when the kid's dad comes home and says 'Johnny get the fuck out my chair and turn that shit off before I beat you into therapy. and get me another fuckin' beer you cock.' If children can handle the violence at home, they sure as shit can handle the violence on TV. There is no point in creating the illusion that the world is a happy place. Children will grow up soon enough and find out they've been lied to their whole childhood.

if you want to allow a pop-up, you hold ctrl while clicking the link. I've been using this for about a month and it works really well.
