IRL, you can't just duct tape a flashlight to your average gun. The recoil from firing would break the bulb very quickly. To get a light for a real gun, you need to get one specially designed for the task.
In Doom 3, the SHTF when he only had a pistol and a large utility flashlight. I think you should be able to use the light with the pistol, but otherwise it makes sense having to switch back and forth.
Great, now we have yet another form of weapon of mass destruction. Terrorists could cook up a batch of prions and dump it in a water or food supply, thus killing off lots of people a short period of time later. Ahh, the miracles of modern science.
Have you ever seen how the average player flies a Huey in Battlefield:Vietnam?
If I am afraid to be a passenger on a virtual chopper in a computer game, what makes you think I would want to be a passenger in a real flying car? O_o
How about the first 10 things you UNinstall from a fresh WinXP install?
1) Drive Indexing Service 2) System Restore Service 3) MSN Explorer 4) MSN Messenger 5) Games 6) ISP Services (who uses prodigy anymore anyway?) 7) Outlook Express 8) Internet Explorer 9) QoS Packet Scheduler Service (I never figured out what this even does...) 10) Extra services (like WMP auto DRM retrieval, MP3 player auto detector, etc)
Using the same techniques, I could claim that Windows ME is the best operating system, based on the number of mentions it recieved around the web. Then again all of the mentions would be from tech support forums...
anyone think that BONZAI!!! will do any better than futureama? I sure hope not, because that would send a terrible message that playing brainless "WHEN ___ ATTACKS" shows pays off better then original humor.
So this is basically Tivo for your credit card? Yeah that's a great idea, I can see it now. What happenes when it guesses your habits wrong? Will it order you a bunch of gay porno because you got tickets to see some broadway show?
"In the olden days, electricity and magnetism were counted as two separate forces (for a total of five), until it was discovered they were two aspects of the same thing (still charges and moving charges), and could be described mathematically in one theory, namely Maxwell's equations. Particle theorists have since combined the weak force with electromagnetism into a single theory called electroweak, so if you count that way there are three forces. Of course, particle theorists are gung-ho about combining all the forces into one huge Grand Unification Theory, which will give us just one force."
Hmm, integrating all of the fundamental forces of the universe into one neat package? Aren't there supposed to be anti-trust laws to prevent this? Bill Gates must be jealous as hell.
Even though I have my filter set to exclusive, meaning I should only get email from addresses in my address book, I now am getting 5-20 spams per day disguised as msn or hotmail notices. Hopefully this will be the straw of spam that breaks the microsoft camel's back, and will get them to take some serious action.
I have a KDS rad-7 lcd, and it is the only LCD I have ever seen that has a good response time for games. There is no blurring or ghosting whatsoever that I can tell. Unfortunately it's contrast is not very good. Considering it was the cheapest model though, I am very impressed. I wouldn't go out and buy any LCD without first testing it on games.
Hey, on the bright side, now you can drop eggs on cars above Atherton street. Ah, more drunken entertainment brought to you by the good folks in Centre County.
yeah, a bose-einstein condensate of electron pairs. you are probably thinking of the matter-wave scientists recently produced, which is much harder to achieve. I'm not sure exactly what this guy was referring to with the bose-einstein condensate stuff, the article was very vague. Maybe he was talking about something related to cooper-pairs?
I believe the developers would have relased the game back in mid-december, but because of the fiasco with Civ 3: PTW, Infogrames wanted to make sure MOO3 was working well out of the box, so they forced the developers to continue testing until all the big known bugs were fixed.
The earliest things I can remember were around the time when my mom was pregnant with my little brother, so I was about 7 then. I remember my dad bought me the lego space shuttle set and he bought my older brother Space Quest 3. Man, that game kicked ass.
your logic is flawed and your are trying to skew the issue by claiming that US Customs are racist. This bill doesn't make it legal for the government to abuse foreigners that live in the US peacefully. It gives them the right to take down _illegal_ immigrants, which are most likely here to sell drugs or to bomb buildings. We are not preventing immigration. We are preventing criminals from getting away due to technicalities in the law.

Where did you get that? A deleted scene from the Matrix Reloaded, where the Oracle tries to order a pizza to no success?

"It seems that the GeforceFX is the clear leader in pure processing power, but in memory bandwidth the 9700 Pro is still king"
;)
or maybe the geforceFX offers REAL performance, while the ATI just manages to cheat on benchmarks?

If I were a tivo, and my owner kept ordering gory movies and cooking shows, I'd probably contact the FBI!
At least he isn't also being sued by Israeli Military Industries.
hey if you want to donate 1% of your yearly income to nasa go right ahead. I, however, will be spending my 1% (more probably) on beer.
my first first post!
as long as the RIAA and MPAA see money "lost" that could be theirs, they're not gonna stop.
n = 1 - $L / $B
n = max efficiency
$L = music bought
$B = music listened to
Seems like the record companies are trying to break the 2nd law!
thanks for proving the fact that anyone can make up objective conclusions from a bunch of subjective observations.

"a true democratic government assures that 51% of the people can piss in the corn flakes of 49% of the people."
i forgot who said that, but it's a good quote.
I'm sure someone will use this to figure out weird coincidences and conspiracies. Messages written out in paths taken and such.
