Its the potential of the MODs from it that I find hope in. With streaming maps, there is just so much more that can be done. Mind you, that also means being done wrong.
Fingers crossed it works and works well.
Hmm, wonder if I could start writing a NWN replacement...
Alas, poor website! I knew it, Horatio: a site of infinite uptime, of most excellent fancy: it hath borne me on its pages a thousand times; and now, how absent in my browser it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those graphics that I have watched I know not how oft. Where be your scripts now? your applets? your stylesheets? your flashes of gif animation, that were wont to set my bandwidth on a groan?
All I can talk about is my *actual* experiences, rather than your opinions.
Not all zinc products do this. I dont remember the exact details, but apparently it's in the cooling process when applying the zinc. A quick cooling cycle allows for higher levels of production - but also cause the metal to produce the zinc whiskers in time. A slower cooling process does not do this.
Oh, and remember, get in enough consultants, and you'll always find the answer you're looking for..
Where I used to work, we had this issue - in our case they grew from the cheap computer floor panels in the room. The case was so bad, you could see them in direct sunlight, and the flowed in the breeze like grass.
We had no choice but to go through cleaning, as the underfloor was about to be used for blowing air to new systems, without it, the zinc whiskers would blow free and cause hell on all our systems. As it was, three systems failed in the week after the clean. We don't want to think what would have happened if we didn't clean it.
It's not bullshit. Get over it. Interestingly, there are very few people who know of this issue, but knowledge is spreading.
I'm going to be gerenal here as my SPLUTTERING RAGE is making it hard to type.
The Catholic Church has done these things, and they were the major force in doing these things not because they're wonderful, all-singing, all-dancing modern thinkers. They did it because they wiped out their competition.
We would have vastly more and wider knowledge within collective civilisation if the Church (and not just the Church, true enough, but this is a response) did destroy modes of thinking that clashed with their own. From the crusaides to the witch-hunts.
Oh, one last point.. Arab doctors were busy doing medicine when Christian doctors were busing being butchers. Take your blinkers off. Look around you. And when you've recovered from that, look behind you to see the damage that was done to others in the Churches history.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom. On reading that previous comment, I have a bad taste in my mouth.
Yeah, but Hera would have grabbed them both by the ear, tell Yahweh to play nice and go home.. and NOBODY would want to be in Zeus' shoes for the next 24 hours.
Seriously, I think it's time we use slashdotting for the power of Good this time. Everyone who would buy this game (or even think about buying this game), open up your email client and shoot something INTELLIGENT over to them.
If you don't email them - nothing will change. If they get a few hundred thousand emails, we begin to open the possibility that something may change.
So what's it going to be... ZERO chance or MORE than zero...
Slashdot Mirror
We used to code in a showbox in the middle of the road.
Shame its for US only
The movie is SO bad .. but it does have the cooolest monster I've seen in movie.

I will.
Indeed, what I'll do is forward this story URL to the person that I know that has the facts. I'll see if I can drag him into slashdot (muuhahahaha).
Feel free to bet away.

Yup.
And the metal that the whiskers come from, have been used for computer room floor tiles, racks, and even (shudder) PSU cases.
Now that's scarey.
Not sure .. NASA has used an inch of the strongest apoxy that we know of .. and the whiskers just grew right through it.
(rolls eyes)

I think I just found a great tool for my role playing game ...

"a strong precedent"
I like the sounds of them words!
Maybe, but Cthulhu Collects
Australians have the best aim (well, considering the counter-effect due to the amount of beer I drink when playing)
+1 to this .. quick, call Peter!
Yup! First thing I thought of when I saw it ..
I just wish it a) had 6 legs, b) I could hop into it and drive to work, and c) would mount weapons on it.
Send your emails direct to LucasArts people.
Fight the good fight, else we may not see a decent AND funny adventure for a very very long time.
Okay, I emailed them.

So what's it going to be
EMail them. All of them.
