The cut scenes are good for a bit of relaxation and setting up the mindframe for your next objective. Now if the scenes don't drive a good story, and don't prepare you for what is going to happen next, yes, they do suck. But that isn't because it is a cutscene, it's because it's a shitty game. I don't mind cut scenes. I mind cut scenese that you can't skip. Especially the 10 minutes-long ones they put right before an ultra-hard boss battle that you'll have to go through 6 times in a row before you figure out how to beat it. Those make my urge to kill rise, and rise, and rise...
I don't think there was some group of top-geeks that decided as a group that Piracy is an incorrect term. Your need to appeal to authority is pathetic.
heh... yeah, 'cause everyone knows that a term can only have one use.
If you use it to mean someone taking over someone else's ware, then you use software piracy the right way.
If you use it to make file sharing sound badder than it is, then you're just repeating the *AA's FUD, and that makes you a tool, not a cool badass pirate.
The sex.com saga, that was piracy. Napster, not so much.
It's been called piracy for as long as I've owned a computer, and that's goin' on 30 years... Folks should be proud of their heritage, instead of trying to edit historical use of a term like you do. You still say Pluto is a planet, don't you?
Very interesting. I can say as a doctor I've never seen this used before though, but it reminded me of a few things: [...] Lidocaine (and capsaicin to some degree) would prevent the nerves from ever signaling -- they block the sodium channel that is necessary for nerves to fire. No firing -- no pain, *and* no no neuronal changes, and hopefully no long term pain. Lidocaine wears off after 2 hours or so, while it seems that capsaicin has much longer densitization effects.
Of note, capsaicin is also used in "pepper spray" self-defense products advertised to women in particular. I wonder if one could become numb to this after repeated sprayings. Hmmm, anybody on slashdot may be able to answer this from experience?:) Have you ever talked food with Mexicans? Some of them need very spicy foods, because their sense of taste has been so numbed by spicy foods that everything is bland now.
I wonder if a capsaicin-numbed wound would leave a permanently numb region after it healed.
Hell, I think modern piracy would've taken longer to come to their attention if the dumbshits at Napster Please stop calling "filesharing" piracy. Real piracy gets people killed.
"Nice trading we got going there... it'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it..." Works every time.
Still need to grow a pair.
The USA has more to lose than Canada does. Ones that would put up trade barriers, whether they're called tariffs or embargoes generally lose out more than the one being blocked. google "softwood lumber"
The question is, who can hold out the longest? The answer is: The one who's 10 times the size of the other. And if that isn't true, then good ol' bribery will get you what you want.
"In the past, Canada has always welcomed peace activists with open arms. This new policy, obviously a creature of the Bush administration, is shocking and we in the US and Canada must insist that it be overturned. Four members of the Canadian Parliament--Peggy Nash, Libby Davies, Paul Dewar and Peter Julian-- expressed outrage that the peace activists were barred from Canada and vow to change this policy.
Huh? What? When did we annex Canada? I'm sure there's some Canadians that this statement would piss off - they're quite capable of running their own country, they don't need Bush's help. Besides, why would Bush be working to make it more difficult for US Citizens to enter Canada? Your ignorance of the true nature of the relationship between Canada and the U.S.A. is appalling. The States routinely dictate how things will be done. Canada is setting their clocks back a week later this year, who do you think made a unilateral decision to do that? Canada just followed.
A few years ago, Canada wanted to change its cannabis laws to something less ignominious, but the Canadian justice minister went to Washington to ask permission from the drug czar, and was denied. So the laws stayed the same.
Canada used to sell steel to the U.S. for one CENT for a ton. A ton of steel, for one little disk of copper.
Canadians are not pissed off by the statement of truth these guys uttered. Canadians would be pissed off at the ignorance you display, though.
I can't listen to my Deftones - Adrenaline CD, because it has a few minor scratches that mess up each and every track on the CD rendering it completely and utterly useless Turtlewax.
... is NBC trying to create a "Youtube Killer" ? Indeed, I thought this was to be NBC trying to create an iTunes Video killer. They want them both dead.
for a lot of viewers this will prevent the service from becoming with online video Shangri-La they'd imagined. No viewer that actually exists ever imagined this would be an online video Shangri-La.
Same reason I walk to work every day... because all damn car companies are controlled by the damn greedy stockholders.
It's 20 miles but I make it work because I'm so self-righteous. GM bought tramway companies just to shut them so so you'd HAVE to drive to work. The big three had a major influence in the development of sprawl suburbs, so you'd HAVE to drive to work.

While the race teams strive to get the cars as fast as possible, NASCAR's engineering (at the circuit level) appears to be dedicated to "making the race more competitive." That means SLOWER cars (see "restrictor plate," "aero package,") and rigid specifications on how the cars can be engineered and set-up.

Come on versus how the French look down at me at my poor attempts while they visit MY country? I call bullshit. Maybe you just suck at it so much you call them names and don't know it?
Canadians etc look down on the rest of the world because they don't speak English as a first language? Some Canadians look down on Canadians that don't speak English as a first language.
Where is the website which counts the deaths under Saddam's regime? Would that count the number of Iranians he killed with chemical weapons supplied by the U.S.? 'cause that would be a LOT.
I doubt I'll ever be rich but should I happen to make the right choices in life and wind up rich and/or powerful I won't be leaving millions of dollars to my kids. They should find success on their own. Bill Gates is "only" giving his kids 10 million when they become adults, for those very reasons. Although I could have sworn that he once said $640,000 ought to be enough for anybody...
Killed by gas paid for and provided by the Reagan administration.
No, I'm talking about the good old fashioned line-'em-up and shoot 'em in front of the ditch while the bulldozer is still idling nearby. That stuff happened, and continued to, YEARS after the slaughters farther north. And in fact, it's still going on right now.
