  1. Re:let's just get this out of the way: on Laser Cannons Coming to an F-16 Near You · · Score: 1

    Effective range of modern cannons (Vulcan) is somewhere around 2000 feet. Getting within 2000 feet of a ICBM would not be an easy task.

    Why do you think the engineers for defense contractors are paid much more than your average commercial engineer?

    God, I wish this were true...

    These games are getting more and more realistic every day.

  7. Re:Sony PSX is better... on Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Grand Theft Auto is available for the XBox, and I'm sure the new one will be as well, just a bit later. You are right though, no Grad Turismo, however, it does have some GREAT racing games. Project Gotham Racing 2, Rally Sport, etc.

  8. Re:And here is why.... on Only Xbox Port of Doom 3 Will Have Co-operative Play · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Rainbow Six 3, co-op, live full screen.

    Can you back that up with any facts or quotes?

    No, just insider knowledge I guess. However, you are right they are not currently shipping, I fluffed that a bit to make my point. All I can tell you is what I was told and that is at GDC in March will be when studios (who qualified) receive their kit.

  10. Re:Familiarities on Xbox for $99? Xbox 2 in 2005? · · Score: 1

    Well, Microsoft is shipping the Xenon dev kit already. So I'd say that's a good indication that it's coming out if studios are working with the dev kit for release titles.

    Especially, since he forgot Saturn which was Sega's 3rd generation console.

  12. Re:Uh oh. on Game Feedback Gets More Intense With Electrodes · · Score: 1

    This would just require riot police to casually walk up to protesters, place an electrode on the back of their ear, stroll away, then activate it. Much easier to just gas them.

  13. Re:Very Nice on Microsoft's new CLI · · Score: 1

    Windows is still ass expensive, and requires even more expensive hardware to run. All things being equal, price will determine the winner. I still see no need to think of all af "Linuxdom" under one umbrella of trying to create a desktop operating system as easy to use as Windows.

    I think this is a non-issue for 90% of computer users out there. They are not directly paying for windows, they are buying a new computer with Windows on it. People tend not to pay attention to how much having windows on their new computer cost them.

    Exactly, Jack from Big Brother 4 said it was Lee Harvey Oswald, so, by God, it was Lee Harvey Oswald.

    Well, current US Dollars are also water proof. As the paper is cotton based. They basically get wet like cloth, and dry just fine. Nothing happens to the ink or anything that would ruin the currency.

    Hard to say, just remember that it's a tough economy right now, and getting a paycheck twice a month is hard to turn away from. Sometime getting food in your kids mouth takes priority over making a statement. They should not be punished for this.

  25. Re:One key fact on New Doom III Preview Illuminates · · Score: 1

    I thought Id and Valve were seperate companies. Seperate companies delivering products in the same consumer market. Companies with the goal of selling said product and making as much profit as possible. Which requires many consumers to make a choice, as they probably don't have much disposable income. Sounds like a contest to me.
