The cap on the amount of data downloaded was removed ages ago and replaced with traffic throttling, see here Virgin Media
And yes this could be argued as the same as data limit caps however with Virgin you're not going to be either billed or disconnected for going over it which your post seems to suggest.
To an extent i agree, however once again this "grinding for points" isn't really vital to finish the game. Yes i agree that the sunspear points are useful because they allow you to gain an extra 30 attrib points but they are easy to get and getting them can be combined with most quests on the beginners island
Lightbringer points, although handy with the extras you gain with them are not vital to fight the final areas or bosses if you have a group which knows what it's doing:)
Most people don't like Alien 3, for many different reasons. I agree on some points but i have to say that David Fincher did a decent job with the stuff he was given.
Watching the extras DVD on the quadrilogy (and reading on the net) about the corporate interference, the many re-writes, the chopping and changing of script writers (there were 11 different re-writes) im suprised the film actually got made.
I agree that the Gibson script was cool, but at the end of the day it was just Aliens with bigger guns. The Alien 3 that was released wasn't what fans wanted, but it did have it's moments. Watch the directors edition from the quadrilogy, it's closer to what Fincher actually wanted the film to be.
Reading through the replys on this thread i am disgusted with the majority of them.
For the trolls that posted to this story i just have this to say... how about i come over to your house (ignoring time/distance/not knowing you personally etc) beat you about the head with a baseball bat (im a Brit but to fit in i'll use Baseball instead of Cricket).. until you have level 10 mental disability. How would you feel then having a bunch of ignorant idiots post crap about you.
Disability is NOT a joke, it is NOT funny and is sure as hell is a SERIOUS issue... i will probably get modded down for this comment, but what the hell... shame on you all, your a bunch of c**ts.

One of my friends works for a well known publisher coding for both the DS and the PSP. He's got hold of a DS here in England months before the public starts hearing about it
He's also coding one of the release titles for the PSP
The verdict is that the PSP will definatly be the better of the two, not only in hardware but also in games released. He's not writing the DS off totally, but the PSP will probably be the most popular. And this is just his opinion, he could be completley wrong.
Try explaining all that to a "little old lady" who's just be beaten up for 2 and the perps won't be caught because it happened in an area with no CCTV cameras. Most cameras are located in city centres, not on council estates where they are really needed!!
And before i get the reply "because they'd be vandalised/torn down etc" they can be disguised
True, however it takes a matter of minutes to get changed and get rid of the clothes they were wearing....and without any evidence there's little or nothing the police can do.
Like most things in life, CCTV works sometimes...for example, many of the little thugs that walk around the streets where i live (Leeds) wear hooded tops with the hoods up and scarfs round their faces to avoid being identified, no matter how good the CCTV footage is it's highly unlikely that the police would catch someone dressed so (and yes they do walk around the city centre like that). Also most of the cameras are in the city centre itself...instead of where its really needed.
However what other alternatives are there? I suppose the only real answer to that is more police on the beat, but with most police officers spending most of their work hours tied up with red tape and paper work its gonna be a long time before that happens.
Yeah great idea....only one problem, the segeway requires balance, since most people with disabilities have trouble balancing I doubt the segeway would make a very good i-bot wheelchair.
The term "able-bodied" applies to a person with no physical or mental disability that affects movement of the body. So therefore no its not the correct term for people with "working legs"
Book: "Fire in the Valley: The Making Of The Personal Computer" Author: Paul Freiberger
An excellent book that tracks the invention and development of computers. Starts in the 1800's through to the Altair and beyond focusing mainly on the storys of Apple and Microsoft. There was a film made of this book called "Pirates in the Valley" starring Noah Wyle as Steve Jobs. I would recommend this book to anyone.

indeed :) just like i can joke about them if its in good humour.
However the majority of trolls on here are just cheap popping at people with disabilities, thats just sad at best
Actually i usually am, but when idiots post crap like they have been doing about disabilities, i tend to go a bit.... "bender"
If i had mod points i would mod you insightful.

hmmmm...
well i have to see their point of view....on one hand they have to fit alot of hardware into a "portable" space.
However mis-aligning the square button...that definatly going to annoy alot of gamers...
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
However saying to the PS1/2 generation to just "adapt" thats not going to go down well
hehe :)
Nahh, not biased, im not a hand-held person so im not bothered which one is the better
Nothing much i admit, just giving another viewpoint to people attempting to answer the questions :)
