Sheesh, I mean it's been known that any population boom in prey will boost the predator population, which will reduce the number of prey animals, thus reducing the preditor numbers for years.
That's the big thing. Does the company have a decent cash reserve to deal with any possible problems, as well as a stable cash flow? I'm sure that in the end, they'd prefer having a job for the long term than the cash now.
Anything in the range of one pay period should be considered a rather reasonable bonus IMO.
Just proves that the Aussies are the slow ones... at least my ancestors had the sense to high tail it out of town when the local lord took offence to his deer ending up in thier stomaches.
It's efficent. But, as stated, the problem is where is the power to do it come from?
many places are still using non renewable resources to generate electricity... Hydroelectricity, Tidal power, Wind turbines and solar power (either PE cells, or using sunlight to heat water to move a turbine) all rely on being in an are where conditions are right.
Nuclear power is an option, but nobody knows quite what to do with the waste from it, or fear a catastrophic falure of the containment system (perhaps not a valid fear). However, one has to realise that it's fueled by yet another non renewable resource.
There actually is/was a number of online games that sold prepad time cards... usally 90 day installments (earth and beyond,the sims online, I beleive I've seen EQ ones as well).
The problem is, actually finding places that sell them. Walmart sold the ones for Sims online and E&B... but I only seen them on the shelves for a moth before they quit carrying them.
While FPS tend to lean toward giving unrealistic impressions of things, it can also do something important.
They can put a thought into someone's mind that the setting could be worth learning a bit more, thus increasing the awareness of the true horrors of it.
If you want to bitch and moan, how about bitching about the FPS set in Veitnam, or the most reent ar in Iraq? Or are those alright?
Actually, the additional feats and skills are probably the most desired part of the NWN additions. Prestige classes, sorta, but not really. Everything else can be made/found.
Actually, the Repiblic becoming the Empire through osmosis isn't the surprise.
It was the clones, fighting for the Republic, at the sides of Jedi.
The only other referances in the movies about the clone wars seems to lead one to beleive that clones are a bad thing, which is reenforced by the expanded universes novels...
(Of course, Ep1 & Ep2 pretty much shot holes into Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy... between the implications of clones, and the existance of a Republic war fleet that predates the clone wars...)
And if they do that, there reaches a point where the public won't take it anymore, and turn off the TV, causing mass panic in the ranks of the advertisers who arn't reaching thier market, and the people that they pay to show the ads.
CD checks don't stop anything but the most casual of game copying.
Some games have -removed- copy protections from them in patches simply becuase they cause more problems than then CD piracy.
Hell, why do you think that Mircrosoft doesn't copy protect their CD's? Because it'll cause even more problems between the hardware and software if they do.
I will admit that CD keys, checked via an internet connetion is a good thing. For a multiplayer game. Playing it locally, not a good thing...
Maybe that'll be the next advance. Play the single player for free/cheap, but pay to unlock multiplayer Keycodes.
Myself, I only like some of the works Asimov and Clark. Much of it I couldn't stomach to read. Give me James P. Hogan if I want something to think over.
While much of Baen catalog are about ways to get bigger explosions, many of such authors do weave in interesting human elements.
Actually, Wheel of Time hints that the story is set in a far future time (at lest on that world), given that the previous age was one of technological wonders.
Actually, I recomend most of the stuff that's published by Baen as good sci-fi. Though, I am biased, due to the love I have for military sci-fi, as well as the fact Baen treats customers as valued assets (IE, their bonus CD's)
9FYI, Spider Robinson has had some stuff published by Baen)

ATI drivers do have a habbit of brakeing in certain instances. They normally fix it for the next release.
This is news?

So it applies to lemmings too. Big surprise.
And the shuttles arn't? They have to refit them after each launch... they're not as reusable as one thinks.

uuuh. Actually that's the message ID, not the User ID.
I think you're looking at it wrong.

I think he would... wasn't he at one time in the government, and his only recorded statement was a motion to open the window?

There's another reason that I'll wait for the next run of GC bundles to come out before buying...
While their statement was somewhat missleading, it never stated he would receave anything for relocation, particuarly not from the headhunters.
He managed to deal with some very responsible headhunters, who are willing to make things right.
I think that TCP over avian carriers has better bandwidth... but the ping times suck.
Uh... it looks like it -does- see it as one single drive, going by the screen shot.
It's not. It looks like the Senate Appropriations Committee blames them, when they don't have the influence that they should.

Intereting, but, the thread in the forum kinda explains it... or possibly does so.
