i was thinking about this sort of thing a few days ago - how long till we have genetica(?)lly modified creatures who's sole purpose in life is to eat our waste and run really fast on treadmills to make us electricity?
is biological engineering ever likely to be more productive than machines?
well if not it would be pretty cool [cruel] anyway!
Ok i tried my search - jungle mp3 download - on teoma and google. teoma returned one artists page with downloads, emusic.com (like mp3.com i think), then shoutcast.com.
ahem.
Google returned a pretty cool german site with loads of stuff, and about 10 pages of similarly useful links.
No question about it in my opinion, not to mention the excellent newsgroup and image searching.
Seriously, GTA3 is worth the cost of the ps2 _and_ the game. It is really good.
Having completed it though, i'm going to talk about the bad bits (the good bits would take too long):
1: Targeting - as in shooting people, is hard as hell. Maybe it's my pc-trained fingers, but i find it really difficult to do. Doesn't spoil the game, and you get more used to it eventually. It is annoying though..
2: The Plane - in the third island, you can get a plane, which with a _lot_ of practice, you can sort of fly. If you're going to have a plane at all, why not give it wings and make it flyable?
3: The Stadium - in the second island. I spend about half a day trying everything to jump into the stadium to no avail. Once i got onto the third island, i tried flying in - it's shit. low res, no detail, and it's not solid, so you fall through the floor and pop out just outside. aaahhh!!
4: no motorbike! - someone mentioned this was because of difficulties with modelling the physics, but it would have been cool.
So in conclusion, BUY IT!! you won't be disapointed, especially if you liked the first 2 1/2.. You can do everything you could in htem and a lot more, plus it's in 3d and looks beautteutaeutiful.
On another note, has anyone collected all the hidden packages yet? what happens?
Fair enough, but basically what i'm trying to say is that i find the majority of the american response is "someone is going to pay for this", which might please the american public, but i can't believe it's the best way to go.
yeah, i agree the uk is sucking so hard it hurts. TB was saying pretty much the same as those US guys.
but i still say it's not the right way to go about it. (Maybe i'm speaking too early - they haven't actually done anything yet, but you have to admit, it's been the pattern for most of these kind of things in the past.)
I've certainly never heard of it before, but it's a damn good idea (IF your a terrorist - a terrorist, not me. i'm not a terrorist) as we've seen they have quite an impact, and loaded with passengers, they can't exactly shoot them down. (especially not if they're flying over built up areas). So it seems the only way to prevent this is airport security. which by all accounts sucks on internal flights (and is definitly dubious on external).
Have planes been used as weapons in the past?
although we still don't know quite what they stand for, they definitly have our attention when they finally tell us. Pity it takes this kind of thing to make a statement. Peaceful campaigners never get this kind of publicity..
Having watched this on uk tv all day, one thing i've noticed is that almost every american interviewed firstly makes the point that it was "an attack on civilization and democracy" and "the whole world", whereas everyone else (and me included) is of the opinion that it was an attack on the american authority and all that jiz.
The second point they make is that there will be no delay in american retaliation. I heard one guy say [something like] "thousands have been killed today. America will be sure to retaliate immediatly, and with great force" (ok so i can't exactly remember but you get the idea). Another one said "this is not a case for a single missile strike [about the usa's retalliation], more a sustained attack", presumably meaning the usa plans to use their patented "bomb the f#ck out of everyone" technique to make themselves feel better.

oh yeah!
no i really meant commercial flight planes.
kamakazis were fighter planes right? with bombs too? (i have no idea)
using aeroplanes as weapons?

i think that's a shite idea
Hmm.. sounds unlikely to me that a conspiricy(spelling?) kept secret from the entire world was announced on a nostradamus ng..

Wait 7 days, and then maybe I'll answer this post. You see, I am going away
in seven days, and you will not hear from me again.
actually not enough said. i'm to thick.
i don't understand.
BTW. seems USA has already begun the afore-mentioned super-great-bomb plan.
