2/100ths of a second? That's much faster than those common-as-muck 1/50ths ones.
Actually as far as the measurement of time is concerned, it is usually measured in divisions of 10, so 2/100ths of a second actually sounds more comprehendable than 1/50th of a second.
Video games are just a medium and the only reason they are being targeted at all is because it's an interactive medium. Every medium out there from print to music has sex and violence as one of their facets. The only reason video games are being targeted at all is because of the widely held perception that video games are primarily owned and used by children which is completley false.
(For those of you not there yet, do not play this section late at night, and the gravity gun+sawblade is your new best friend. Save your ammo for emergencies, and you will have those aplenty.)
I love any game that allows me to kill someone with a plastic milk crate!
Gizmodo pointed out that they didn't mention any depth information in their press release, so it probably isn't designed for diving.
That's too bad... it would make a great audio alert for when your air is running low.. or as a receiver for the surface people to use to contact you verbally..
Communism gets identified with totalitarianism much in the same way that capitalism is identified with democracy.
They have been and always will be separate things.
Communism does not equal totalitarianism. Capitalism does not equal democracy.
Both systems will work when people apply themselves to maintaining the system's integrity. Both systems will fail when corruption is added to the system.
Actually it kind of makes sense... If they sit on it until it's closer to "christmas season" then there will be a higher percentage of people "in stores" picking up HL2 for little Jimmy.
I'm guessing middle/late November just as the Xmas season kicks off... that way the buzz will be fresh and more people will be in the stores rather than in front of their computers downloading.
ok.. open wide because here comes a nice easy spoonful of information:
The statement "In the land of the blind, the one eyed man will be king" simply means that closed source developers (one eye man) want to discredit OSS (millions of open eyes) because it keeps them in wealth and keeps them in control (king)......there ya go, oops.. you got a little on your chin, let me wipe that up for you.

Just being pendantic...sorry.

..and does this give you a reaction of sympathy for those people or a kind of "you deserve it" reaction?
Are you a true humanitarian or just another person who would gladly assume the position of the great oppressor.

But a suitcase bomb is not a city-killer. ...yet
Sentence the spammers to be human spam filters for the mail servers of large corporations... at minimum wage !

Isn't that the standard EULA?
One would think that with the "security focus" that Microsoft is currently using, that removing IE's ties to the OS would be beneficial.
After all how many security holes have been IE related.
IE seems more like a liability in the "security age" than a tool for forcing people to adopt MS standards.

Whereas under Communism it is a single party or small group of people who rule.
Communism is an *economic system* not a political system.
Bizarre political beliefs? What do you think my political beliefs are, and why do you think they are bizarre?
Decided to go AC, huh? LOL!
oh good god man.. grow a brain. If you can only see denotative definitions than you are a lost cause.
As for Dutchmaan, he just doesn't make sense.
I guess that's why you ran away from the thread where I had to spoon feed you the painfully obvious definition..

The statement "In the land of the blind, the one eyed man will be king" simply means that closed source developers (one eye man) want to discredit OSS (millions of open eyes) because it keeps them in wealth and keeps them in control (king)...
You're absolutely right.. thanks for the example.
Irrelevant cliche?
Where is your white cane!?
If you can't get what that statement meant then you are in fact blind or stupid, because it's just too painfully obvious.
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
