Hoax #101 : USA is democratic country; a land of freedom where the government respects it's citizen's privacy. How do the government spell "totalitarian" ? d-e-m-o-c-r-a-c-y ???
This one is not even funny... That's why I don't like 1st april : You can't really trust what you read on the news for a whole day. I mean you can trust the news even less than usual.
Another option is to substitute blood for some green substance (only aliens could have green blood).
Yeah, so if in a game you see a character to hold an "alien" (human shaped) baby by the foot, pierce it with a red hot pin and then smash the convulsing body on a spiked wall it's ok. IF it bleeds green.
Anyway things that bleed green are not like us... so that's ok.
> (yes Iraqi civilians will be killed in this war by the way)
They are still dying because of the last war. (childs mostly) And you are right. The Bush family seems to be the biggest threat for America. I'm curious about how much Americans are supporting Bush and it's 'holy' war ?
Does the people for the war think it's good ? That the war is clean ?
How people can believe only "military installations" were hit ? How can anyone believe "surgical striking" or whatever the name ?
When the power of many Hiroshima is dropped on a country, how can anyone expect this to be "clean" ? Americans soldiers even blindly killed each others.
I've seen the last "dissuasive" weapon. It's supposed to have the power of a small nuclear head. It's also supposed to be "surgical". I don't doubt that somewhere in the destroyed area there was a target. How the civilians around the buildings are labelled ? Collateral damage ?
BTW : I would like to know the "official" explanation of the end of the last Gulf War. Everyone forgot that the war was stopped 24 hours too short ? Why move all those guys to "remove Saddam" and stop ? Instead of crushing the bad guy, the army was stopped by the current moron's daddy and enough power was gived to Saddam to crush the rebels. What was their explanation to the American people ?
How anyone can believe ? Aren't the medias free ?
Great... now I feel sad and angry. And we are all OOC.
I only hope this series is better than the previous one
Better is always good. (Wait, no ! What I'm saying ? 'Better' is the foe of 'good' ! Whatever...)
I liked the mini serie. I've read the whole books a few months ago, then watched Lynch's movie and didn't liked it at all. I think the mini-serie is more accurate (still with some twisted facts, but it didn't hurted me as much as the "LoTR" interpretation.)
It would help ISPs to check how many computers are behind a NAT ? So what ?
I've my Linux NAT (let's call it N) connected to the wire of my ISP (cable), and I've a few computers (let's call them U) networked behind that NAT.
Let says that my ISP says I can't use a NAT. (It does not. They are not THAT stupid.)
A few cases come in mind:
A) What if the U computers ask to the N one to download stuff so they can download the datas from it later ? Is it wrong ?
B) What if the data is fully downloaded (cached) by N before a U download it ? Is it wrong ??
C) What if I do B, but between the request to N and the recovery of the data from N I remove the N-U wire ? Is it wrong ???
D) What if I recover the data using a floppy ? Or a CDRW ? It's a kind of "connection" isn't it ? After all, this can be even faster than a small 10Mbs lan.
E) What if I says N is NOT a "computer", but only a firewall (after all, most firewall are just packaged computers) ? May they prove I'm wrong ? Beside, why would I be wrong ? Because the N box contains a CPU, RAM and an OS ?? How many firewalls would not be firewalls then ???
F) What if I say N and the U are only computer components and that the computer is in fact the whole stuff ?
That "just one computer" connected is just plain wrong.
Anyone with a bit of imagination could get 32000 ideas about a game. No one said those games were supposed to be good, funny, entertaining, state-of-the-art,...
I'm playing game since ~1981. I've tried a lot of games/systems. I don't think there was a hundred of very good games those 21 last years. I'm pretty sure there wasn't 500 good games either. Thinking about it, there were probably less than 5000 programs that deserved the high prized title of "game".
Even if they take stuff from the past, that would be a heap of junk. Need of the most powerful console ever ? yeah sure...
I've said : "You expect that Gandalf will show his powers on the water released by an elf lord... and it's done by a woman."
AFAIK, Frodo is alone on the horse of Glorfindel. Later, Gandalf tells him that Elrond (an elf Lord) commanded the flood, and that he (Gandalf) added the white knight and other effects.
Even if the effect is pure cosmetics (which I doubt) it's exaclty what I've said : "Gandalf showed it's power on the water released by an elf lord"...
Wrong you said ? What did you understood ?
I know my english is far from perfect, but I don't think it's that bad...
To pay every month for an MMOG seems acceptable. To pay real money to improve a virtual life doesn't.
On the other hand...
Many players bought the "Planes of Power" EQ extension just to be able to move quickly in Norrath. (A centralised teleporter system have been added to link cities and is available only to PoP players).
Actually, in "The Dark Night" there is a fight between Batman & Superman.

Or is it ?
What you pay for is the proprietary tools, the configuration, the packaging, the manual and the support
Anyone is free to get Slackware and download & install whatever he wants on it.
Anyone could do it from scratch as well.
service = money
Beside, the "french" fries are Belgian. ;)

Great
Those are from the worst beers available. (The kind used in student parties when everyone is so drunk taste does not count anymore)
:
...
Much better beers are
_ Faro
_ Pecheresse
_ Kriek
_ Kwak
_
Since basically everyone suffered from the worm, that means that
_ The people who buy Symantec's soft
_ The informed select customers
Someone can explain what's the 'smart move' now ?

"Network is the computer", isn't it ?
What's that for a name ? next-generation secure computing base ??? ;)
Why not "XBox Pro" as many expected ?
I didn't played with asm since a lot of time, but I'm pretty sure the register are sorted as "ax cx dx bx sp bp si di".
So it would be
90 xchg ax ax AKA nop
91 xchg ax cx
92 xchg ax dx
93 xchg ax bx

They could have used the Parsec then.

If it's a pyramid system (which I'm not sure), then it will be forbidden in many country (Mine at least).

Well, at least the TP system does not decays
AFAIK ...
It took 10 years to Ulysse to return to Ithaque.
Then the movie is all about the suspense ...
... and it's done by a woman.
... it's not Tolkien's LoTR, it's Frances Walsh's LoTR. /puke
The movie differs in a few points from the book. (Some of them were just unbearable).
You expect that Gandalf will show his powers on the water released by an elf lord
Surprise surprise
