"However, we can go back to the question of what "honor" means. Does it mean doing everything in your power to preserve the lives of your citizens? If so, then a sneak attack can be honorable if it's the safest way to win. "All's fair"
when u put it that way, trumans decision to spare an estimated 500,000 american lives by dropping the bomb instead of launching a seige of the main japanese islands seems pretty honorable to me
but you do have to admit, other than killing a lobsterman with a vibroblade nothing is more satisfying than detonating the whole bottom floor of a house with 2 or 3 well placed pulsars..
and anyway,, snap shots with the harpoon gun are the way to go:-)
anyone who has played xcom knows just how much better the alien stuff is than that lame human built gauss garbage. Just tides u over till u get some sonic pulsars
I think something most people overlook in counter-strike are the character animations. People always blast the game for its dated textures, but i still havent seen better character animations in any FPS. When a player is crouching and walking, it looks almost real.
Only game that came close was Battlefield 1942, but i would get so much lag when playing a huge game it became more annoying than fun.
I'll stick with cs, until something better and along the same vein comes along.
No grand future will ever arrive so long as large companies control our destinies. The space shuttle program was supposed to have been abandoned a decade ago, but boeing and lockheed(each making 500 million a year off the shuttle) have such a strong lobby that any plans for a replacement are doomed to failure.
What of fuel cells and alternative power sources? As long as the oil companies are in power and have their CEO as president, nothing in the field of alternative energy sources has a chance of coming through for the next 20 years.
As long as people are making millions off current technology, and as long as the holders and controlers of that technology are in power, nothing will get done.
If the government would give Ford and GM some r&d money, you would be surprised how fast a fuel cell (or equivalent) automobile would appear.
Just look how long its taking our military to abandon large pieces of artillery and slow tanks in favor of a more mobile force. Things in place become immovable. Its basic physics.
I was building a computer using an ASUS CUL2C (i think thats the number, im too lazy to check,, its the black pearl limited board, very nice by the way)
I wanted to run it on my desk prior to mounting just to check all the parts,, but the board kept shorting out,, i tried for 20 mins, before i looked under the motherboard and say my screw driver. It had been making contact and shorting the board, so i removed it while there was power running to the board, and the largest spark ive ever seen from a computer came out the top, and it shut down.
20 minutes later, everything worked fine, and the computer still runs today (2 years and counting)
I'm curious, so if anyone can help it would be appreciated.
I read the blurb about RAID 0 and striping, which intrigued me, but those damn graphs gave me a headache, so performace wise, over a wide range of uses, (from development to gaming to serving) would i get better performance with a dual drive IDE RAID 0 or just a single IDE drive hooked to a reg. IDE slot?
Aside from letting all the crap pile up in ur garage, you can donate ur old machine to any number of institutions,, although i know my old school stopped taking crap after people started unloading piles of 486's
there was always a way to get music, and there always will be.
one strange thing is, i dont remember such horrible queing in napster, like there is in kazaa, the wait rivals that of certain extremely busy irc channels.,
i'll just do what i did with the original powerpad,
get my fat ass off it, wait for my heart to slow down, and then mash the pad with my palms to simulate running
(so lazy i am)

dont forget who attacked whom while their diplomats were still in the capital crying war can be avoided,
i call that a sneak attack,, and sneak attacks are inherently dishonorable

Wouldnt this eat batteries?,
mavicas or equivalent with lcd screen eat batteries, whereas turning off the lcd screen is safe for the enviro and the pocketbook

f**ken kewl,
nuff said,
that is the most impressive thing i have ever seen,, and the article lays it out awesomely
my school had a windtunnel/hangar complex for building small scale airplanes,
they all went in their,,
air hangar filled with 486's = free keyboards and ram keychains
Aside from letting all the crap pile up in ur garage, you can donate ur old machine to any number of institutions,, although i know my old school stopped taking crap after people started unloading piles of 486's
participation rate??
i made do before, during and after napster,
there was always a way to get music, and there always will be.
one strange thing is, i dont remember such horrible queing in napster, like there is in kazaa, the wait rivals that of certain extremely busy irc channels.,
