I'm still working on my first playthrough on my 360, but I just wanted to comment on how buggy the game has been. Just now I was playing and I attempted to use VATS with insufficient APs, and then was stuck in VATS mode (unable to cancel out, unable to fire due to insufficient APs) and was forced to bail out to the dashboard. I've also seen where characters will glitch, and just stand in place completely nonfunctional.
I'm loving the game, but its definitely got some glitches.
As a current CVS employee, I can tell you that these camcorders and their digital camera like brethren are going on sale the week of July 4th. They are going to be 19.99 but you get $10 in "ExtraBucks" back. As the ad flyer says, "Its like paying $9.99".
The ExtraBucks print from the register 2 days after the qualifiying purchase and although you do need your own ExtraCare card, the information you provide can be as false as possible. ExtraBucks are good on anything in the store excluding tobacco, alcohol and prescriptions.
Its on sale for $548 and has the following improvements:
1.1 GHz Mobile Athlon 4 Proc.
802.11b networking
40 Gig HD (+10 gig improvement)
DVD-ROM drive
And, they even threw Windows (XP Home) on it. Better bang for your buck in my opinion (If they had a sans MS version for $25 or so less that'd be even better). I'd be interested in a review of these things.
Just because you send something to 10k or 10 million people at random does not give each one of those people full rights over your work. It is still your work, therefore you still have full rights to it. If you choose to spam tons of people with your works, that is your right. If you then decide to restrict who else gets to view your works and in what medium, that is your right.
On another note, this guy has clearly never heard of the philosophy: "No publicity is bad publicity."
I think by no longer hosting the file, he is saying that he no longer supports it and doesn't want a thousand emails from people who can't figure out why it doesn't work. Assuming that it was made released under the GPL, it could be picked up by another person or group. In all likely-hood, its not going to be picked up, as its a small apache module; which already has an established alternative.
I think anyone willing to work on this project, would better spend their resources on mod_python instead.
Agreed, the movie was quite good and very well done (as one might expect from Sam Rami).
However, one part was really just a blatent oversight. Right after MJ gets off work, they stand and talk in the street for a while. We see the camera facing MJ and a car passes her. A moment later, the camera changes to face Parker and *PRESTO* car is gone. This happens with every single car that passes (about 8 or so, I'd say). Thats my only real nit-pick with the flick.
Overall, very solid stuff. Should become a good franchise. Hopefully, this will wave on a era of *good* comic based movies. We'll see how the Hulk fares next summer...
As for opening days, first weeks, overalls, etc. it would really be interesting to see how this stacks up against opening of Gone With the Wind, ET or Return of the Jedi with dollars adjusted for inflation. What you never hear is an estimate of how many bodies they got into theater seats, also, track it next weekend, as the word-of-mouth gets around and we see whether it has lasting power.
This is fabulous. This will prove Sam Rami as a real director capable of handling the big flicks and making them profitable. Maybe now someone will fund Evil Dead 4... maybe...
While we are at it, Hamlet should really have expected both the sword and the drink to be poisoned, Bilbo should have know the ring was cursed, and of course Luke should have known that Vader was his father from the moment they saw each other on the Death Star!
It's worth noteing that the local CompUSA barely even acnowledges their Apple section
Agreed, 9 times out of 10 its in the back corner. Small, cramped little area with one demo machine.
The Apple store on the other hand was quite an experience. I am a PC person, and it wasn't enough to convice me to switch; but I was quite impressed with it. Lots of working, uncrippled (I was able to look at some control panel settings and had full access to the hd) demo machines that were actually connected to the internet! And the store was very clean and sanitized; which I guess is a desirable attribute:P. And, the laptops had full keyboards and weren't bolted down either. IIRC, they also had some additional software installed on the machines for more testing.
I truely felt that I was able to use the computers and get a handle on them. Compare this to the typical experience you get at a Best Buy or CompUSA; which usually consists of some generic store demo that you have to noodle your way out of, restricted control panels, and internet features which bring up the blasted dial-up internet access screen.

Yes, that is a little more exciting than deleting a file..
Almost as exciting as copy \ paste.
You, sir, made my day.

General Electric, perhaps you've heard of it?

Votergate - a 30 minute video about the evils of electronic voting. The gist of it was bad computer, bad.
For women to get offended at that comment, some women would have to be reading it.
*looks around*
No real worries here.

Pretty much speaks for himself....
Two things about upgrading to WMP 9.0
:P
1st - Don't
2nd - Media Player Classic has the look and feel of MP 6.4 but with more features, check it out.

When somebody went out to the store to get some lube, why didn't they just pickup a friggin 3rd condom?

Easy solution: move :P
*cough* betamax *cough*
Good idea, but like any novel idea, its implentation will show how effective it is. They need have large fines for mass spam.
fp anyway...

:p
You just ruined 3 fine stories, bastard
with the crap that Ask Slash has been putting out lately, this could have been posted on any day
April fools is a national thing not just a /. thing
I'm starting to question the whole Teoma thing a little also...
The 7 MB was with the document (which happened to be the review) open.
Kinda puts the whole Chevy Nova thing in perspective doesn't it? :P
