First you have to telotype it in.
Then press on the virtualcontrol labled "submit".
From there you comutational appliance sends an HTTP post request all the way to Holand or where ever the hell they host slashdot.
Finaly it hase to be parsed and committed to the online database.
This has been one of the areas where I know we are going to get some negative feedback. Doom III will only have minimal multiplayer facilities when released, because we are concentrating all of our efforts on making it an outstanding single-player experience.
Remmber when ID announced that Quake 3 would be only multiplayer.
Sinlgle player is dead etc.
The only problem with that was the over sateration that happened just after. Single player is back. I can't wait.
The problem with multi player is that most of us are tired of compeeting all the time.
It's also worth noting that the biggest selling (IIRC) game on the PS2 (GTA3) has no multiplayer mode.
I bought it just last weekend.
So I'm a little worried.
What exactly is the use of pro?
I just bought it becaus I'm tired of not being able to watch the larger size videos.
I think this represents a big change in MS's aproach to security.
Now if only theyd fix the winnuke bug.
I remember one guy in the office wanted me try and break his
über secure win2k box with software firewall.
I winnuked his ass and he cloudn't even move his mouse.
There was no way he could filter it out as the bug is in the TCP/IP stack i think.
Yes I understand this is lame but he asked for it:)
Apple does this more often. Also some hi-res trailers are only downloadable with the Pro version.
I know like the trailers on the the starwars site for example.
I'm just wondering if I buy QT5 Pro.
What happens when they launch QT6 (Already announced).
As a Lynx owner myself, I can reccomend The GOAT (Games Of All Types) Store [goatstore.com]. Decent prices and an OK selection, and customer service is great; they sent me a second free game because I screwed up my address on the order form the first time. And, they ship internationally
Thanks I'll check them out.
But stay away from Hydra and Batman Returns; big stinkers there
Too late. But thanks anyhow.
You might also try GameDude [gamedude.com]; you can buy & sell cartridges from old systems through them, and they're in California, so shipping to BC should be fairly quick. Haven't done business with them in a while, but they were easy to deal with.
I used to go there it's like an hours drive from where I live and I don't drive.
Well actualy Atari is now owned by a larger game company (Midway I think).
So the company putting this out is in no way trying to support it's self on just this product.
They have even released a few new arcade titles under the Atari brand to try and resurrect it.
Yes but it's not the same water and oxygen now is it?
The oxygen is likely being released into the atmosphere at point A
and the water/water vapor at point B.
So unless I'm missing something once we all have fuel cell cars we'll be in trouble.
We all know that when we use hydrogen power the waste is water vapor.
Won't all this vapor make the climate much wetter causing it to rain more and so on?
Plus since from what I've been told the vapor comes from the hydrogen mixing with oxygen in the air. Won't this also lower the oxygen content of the air?
Please tell me I'm completely off my rocker.
Or better yet explain why:)
My favroit EULA have alwase been the ones used in online forms. Where they put the EULA in a .
I remove all the text and replace it with "I AGREE TO NOTHING".
Is this still legaly binding?
We played Wolfenstein on 2400 baud modems back in the day
Dude your thinking doom not wolfenstein.
Wolfenstein didn't have a multiplayer mode. /me fondly remembers long nights and short mornings back in the days of doom.
Did you even read the message you just quoted from? It even says the person's grade has been held, and that their name has been submitted for investigation. How are they supposed to investigate if they don't know the person's name?
Yes I did read the letter.
It said the persons grade has been changed to 'I'.
Not put on hold, changed.
A grade of 'I' means they did not complete the assignment.
I == F.
It was not until AFTER he made a stink about it that they changed his grade to a C.
I learn a lot from borrowed code.
Plus if the student plans to get a real job he better learn to integrate code from others.
If you read the email from the article.
"Please be advised that your transcript will be reflecting a grade of 'I' [for Incomplete] in CS [Computer Studies] 1321 for Fall Semester 2001," the message said. "Your name has been turned into the Associate Dean of Students, Karen Boyd, for suspicion of academic misconduct on one or more programs."
Thats right suspicion, not proof, suspicion.
Imagine how safe our streets would be if could just lock people up on suspicion.
To hell with this whole innocent till proven guilty crap.
Tech may not be the top CS school, but I think our program is pretty good, and their strictness when it comes to cheating only adds credence to the degree you get when you graduate from the Computer Science department. The strictness is not a reason to avoid this school, but a reason to come here.
I will never go there.
The fact that they have you brain washed into thinking that this is a good thing shows just what type of "Education" they provide.

Lets see.

Yah your right still not as cool.
1 million and 1 comments about how "the more thing change the more things stay the same. There are no good shows on yada, yada, yada."
There are good shows on tv you just have to be more selective.
Uhhm as one of the "wuper snappers" (19). I'll have you know that I knew that already.

Is that an ATARI in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Now if only I could get games for my lynx :)

Okay if the G4 uses less power and makes less heat. :)
Then can you please explain why I can cook eggs on the bottom of my TiBook?
Are you trolling or just not real observant? The translation of the phrase Dura lex, sed lex is given in the text: The law is hard, but it is the law.
He's doing neither, lex is also a unix command. He's asking if it was named in latin and if so how many other unix commands are also named in latin.
Remember we alternate the sundays.
NEXT sunday we hate them.
however i wonder how cool the webserver of NOAA is ...... after posting to slashdot. tsk tsk
:)
It's all part of there briliant sceme to get free heating of the researchers
You'd think they'd do that. But they don't.
None of the scripts I have hit did. Even sun's java download sites don't.
