wrong: "it's where your less common controls go. there're even rarer ones in the big menus. it works on pretty much everything. just try it out a lot; as long as you don't pick any menu items, nothing's gonna change, and you won't hurt anything."
right: "Its asks the computer; 'what can I do to this?'"
I have bought HL 3 times after roomate lost or stole my key and rendered it unplayable. The 3rd time was just so I could play Natural Selection. So you are wrong in not uncretain terms. HL is still viable only becasue of multiplayer. I loved HL single player and played it through again when I bought it again but none the less I bought it again only for NS multiplayer. Your distinction between HL & CS is totally meaningless.
Yes they should release a singleplayer only for X-mas but they wouldn't be able to do it becasue I would want the multiplayer and due to logistics and fraud they would never re-issue to the people who wanted multi later. I NO WAY IN HELL I AM USING STEAM. If I had HL would have cost me $600 so far.
I agree, and anyway I had fun playing Wolfenstien with the screen turned down to the postage stamp size. I even had fun playing Q1 at 320x240. Granted I now play Jedi at 1600x1200 but it makes little difference to gameplay for anything but sniper work.
People in the Army have helmets and body armor so probably hurts less than lycra and a sweat band. I think they would also be good for paratroopers, nice shock absorbers for the landing.
Also if you watch the videos on the site people seem to recover pretty easily from trips etc. on these things. It could just be traing, traing, traing but who knows.
I want to get some of these and bolt mountain goat hoves to the base and go braffing down scree slopes. I might wear a helemt for that. p.s. Anybody got $800 they want to loan me for a piar of these?
I guess the Russians had some gasoline powered things like these back in the day. You could jump 40 feet in the air but landing was a unresolved problem.
I think these would be good for special forces. Run faster than a Seqway 25 mph vs. 12(?) and jump 2 meters in the air. These things seriously kick ass.
My favorite part about this book is that if you get lazy and read the last page it gives you a false impression of how the book ends. I e-mailed VV about this and he very politely replied.
Uthinking depths to Trancendence is also one of my favorite models for Galatic geography esp. that it uses the modern ides of the galactic habitable zone.
This book is on my short list for top 20 sci-fi books. If you like it also check out Iain M. Banks.
In regard to palm's I have a Clie NS 710 I got on Ubid. It was cheap, it has a VERY high-res screen and plays MP3's. It really excels becasue it has a hold button that turns off the LCD while the MP3's play. My only gripe is that I HATE Sony's Memorystick, I wish it took CF instead. I use readers for a lot of Linux tips and documentation. I like to be able to pull it up no matter what I am working on on my PC. Books have been hit or miss for me. Although the CLIE is more readable than my Handspring Deluxe was I still am a paperback fan for fiction.
Well I thought I had a clue, I guess not. Anyway my point was and is that with a BSD kernel they can run any chip they want. Also the PowerPC 970 aka G5 is NOT a Power4. The Power4 is a dual core proc. on a single package.
"apple is not going to transition to the ugliest oldest ISA on the block so they have to move again."
My other point was that the hardware guys at Apple said this was going to be "a challenge." Probably more of a challenge then using a decidedly ugly ISA but one that's 'well tested' (sniker) and widely documented.
Either way nothing you said adresses the fact that OSX could easily be box/proc agnostic.
"G3 same difference low power, eh performance." are you really impling that the G5 is as fast as they claim it is? Once they make it fit in a notebook is it going to be the same chip? Anyway... every time somejackass says "fastest processor" they always seem to forget the Alpha.
Or just use wood. You guys remember our jackass president's plan to stop wild fires. Its really a sham to get back to the bad old days of logging. Instead we should subsidize feller buncher heads on Tiberjacks to pull all the waste wood and fuel out of the understory and burn em in this type o plant.

Or use Turkey guts and pig shit. You know all that waste that runs into our rivers currently? Well this company says they can turn it into c6 carbon chains e.g. propane. They claim they can meet our domestic gasoline needs using current bio waste generated by our farms.
http://www.changingworldtech.com/
Or use Gyromills. These things kick ass.

The sun is the source of almost all of our energy in one form or another. It so f'n simple it hurts but no only seems to really get it. It really makes me sad that we are the only animal that shits in our own nest.
I am willing to pay for well writen software. I'm willing to activate well writen software. I'm willing to use a donlge for well writen software. Hell I'm even willing to provide a blood sample for a company the puts its blood into their work. All M$ is getting from me is a feces sample, becasue that's what they put in theri software.
Yeah, um right. How about... how long have I had halflife 2004-1999=5 5*12=60 60*9.95 a month?
That means Half-Life would have cost me about $600!...and people say the record companies are greedy...
There has to be a price cap for this model or have it be $2 a month I have already bought Half-Life 3 times after roomates stole or "lost" or lent out my key. Fuc#3r5. So I'm already at about $150. Natural Selection was worth buying HL for the third time btw.
Its the Steve Dalles school of Law. (Related to a story about Sean Pean betting up one of the Bloom County folks for sapping a pic.)
NEVER SUE POOR PEOPLE. Sue a corp. with gobs of cash! They should have put warning stickers on the camera saying it would be dangerous to take picutes of drunken celebs...
Death Tounge would have never sued their fans like Metalica did!
Apple should save themselves some money and thereby save us some money by just using a better chip. This kernel should be able to run on a g-d damn Sega Dreamcast so why not Transmeta or an AMD laptop chip, hell why not a strong Arm variant.
Apple's chip selection is terrible. They blew it on the Exponential 704. They blew it by using Motorola. They blew it on the G5 (they should have gone right to the Power4 for the money they charge...) Apple needs to resign themselves to the fact that they make a nice interface for Unix and a pretty box. There is no need to do EVERYTHING from scratch. No Mac Nazi is going to stop shelling out for gorgeous thin 17" Laptops because they come with a non-PowerPC processor.
Schizo refers to the separation of affect (or expressed emotion) and cognition (or thought.) What you meant to say was psycho and in psychotic or the separation of perception from cognition. Also the incidence of a combination of Bi-Polar Disorder and Schizophrenia is rare as they seem to be unrelated disorders, esp. one being inherited and one being the result of viral attack in utero. I only mention this because you advised I may have stopped taking my lithium which is prescribed for Bi-Polar. Thorazine or one of the wide variety of modern anti-psychotics might have been a better recommendation.
Ahhhh the DSM-IVr how I tell my friends from the average people.
I was only pointing out that the Rockefellers owned and used guns. I'm glad to know that whatever you political bias you see murder as "Oh, that shit..." Really says something about you concern for the greater good. Well the next time an Enron gets dirty I supposed you wouldn't mind if they just murdered their opponents. Great.
Not that I really think you are condoning murder, just that you are unwilling to concede a point.
Don't forget that GHWB directly benefited from his father Nazi dealings. When the Bush/Prescott lawyer turned out to be Allen Dulles brother of John Foster Dulles it created a very important link in the history of power in the US. JFD later went on to runt he CIA, which was later run by GHWB. I have been told by 2nd son of a first hand witness that Prescott traded in other Nazi sympathizers to JFD for political cache for his son in the CIA. Also you will not I have not said anything about GHWB or his motives rather that his father and son have serious proclivities towards fascism and profiteering. GHWB seems for all intents and purposes a bit of a jingoist but at least an honest one.
There is a HUGE difference between successfully avoiding the draft (Gore) and pretending to serve and then going AWOL (Bush.)
One is a common practice defended buy the contentious objector law and one is a hanging offense. Also it become far more important in light of the "bring em' on" comment." For a man who dodged the draft and then didn't finish his tour even in the EASIEST NATIONAL GAURD POST IN THE NATION, to INVITE attacks on US troops is TREASON. You can spin it any way you want but Bush was the ONLY U.S. President to invites attacks on U.S. Troops. That isn't a little thing.
Also I do care that the Kennedy's were bootleggers, one son was a pimp who took IV Methamphetamines, one is a murderer, and one was a stand up guy who got murdered. I would object to Kennedy trying to invade Cuba for the same reasons that I object to Bush invading Iraq. GROUPTHINK? The Bush Whitehouse is the same uber industrial military groupthink from the Ford administration till now.
I REALLY care about Bush because he is a fascist from a line of fascists. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." "That trait skips a generation." If you do a semiotic analysis of Bush's "communitarianism" it is the same as fascism. Remember that Mussolini's fascism means "the combination of corporation and government." He meant 1 CEO 1 Dictator, but that was fascism turned up to 11, Bush is fascism turned up to 7. It matters that his grandfather was a Nazi for 3 other reasons. 1. It lead to the Bush Family manufacturing guns for the Rockefellers. 2. It lead to their direct involvement in the Dulles brothers. 3. It lead in no uncertain way to Bush Sr. getting to be the head of the CIA. These people are who WWII vets fought and died to defeat and we hand them the presidency twice.
My grandfather knew John Foster Dulles and said he was the most evil man in America. He was also a fool. He would go and lie to the New Zealand, Australian, U.K., and Canadian ambassadors but was too fucking stupid to realize that they all went to college together, after each meeting with Dulles they would go and have lunch and compare notes. Not hard to figure out. My family had to fight internally as well, my great uncle was one of the most famous Nazi sympathizers in the US, but after Pearl Harbor he changed his tune in an instant. The deciding factor and the reason the Bush Walker clan was convicted was due to the basic fact that they kept going. The Bush family doesn't give a shit about America they care about their wallets. Their policy proves it. Their history proves it. Their friends prove it. Their enemies prove it. The only thing that saves Bush from venomous hate is that he is so embarrassing to watch that people feel sorry for him. That and he bends over for the BIG bucks.
Conservatisim is just as important. It prevents rapid change from undoing the social fabric. Some liberals find the hole in the fabric and just start pulling until there's nothing left. That's not what I'm advocating. Paranoid conservatives are actually no different from paranoid liberals. The difference is paranoid conservatives want to change the world to match a totally imagined past that never existed. But yes you are right they are equally important. You know check as balances? What makes America great? What has been removed from teh media by concentrated ownership.
What I actually advocate is...
1. Disestablishmentarianism. 2. The VAST distrabution of media ownership. 3. Limiting copy right to the founding father's

healthcare system. 8. Incresed personal freedoms. 9. A Tobin Tax or Transaction Surcharge Tax as
the only federal tax system. 10. Forgien policy that prevents us from
supporting people who commit genocide. 11. Legalization and Taxation of Delta 9-THC
products (no reason to have America's
largest cash crop going into the pockets
of criminals. 12. Increased States Rights. 13. A Constituational Amendment to remove human
rights from legal structures that limit
liability. e.g. if you are a corp. who's
officers cannot be subject to criminal or
civil prosecution then that corp. does not
have consitutional protections of free
speech (esp. money as a form of speach.)
etc. etc. (Which was how it worked before
the Supreme Court changed the reading of the
14th Amendemnt to the reading that it gave
human rights to property.
This is how the media worked in the early US. You had know quality news. You would read a paper that was a labor paper, or conseravtive paper or etc. They all told the "truth" but they were all slanted in a known direction. It was assumed the reader was smart enough to not just read the Amerikan Spectator and assume it was "fair and balanced" You want fair and balance you got to roll you own. Read the Nation, The Economist, Foriegn Affairs, The Atlantic, The American Spectator and the Druge Report.
