Now we know you're definitely a Capricorn, as you said 'my girlfriend'...
C'mon, this is/., you are a geek, if you're gonna lie at least make it believeable
I beat FFI without the Nintendo Power guide, then went through it with one afterwards.
I don't remember needing 99 potions to get into a cave though.
I do remember going to get the tail and getting bumped up to Master level before chapter 3 where you fight Lich (you technically weren't support to do the temple of ordeal and the dragons until Chapter 5, after you killed Kary at the volcano).
It wasn't the final cutscene that I wanted from FFX:Int...
Two Words: Dark Aeons
Even Nemesis was an easy (albeit long) battle. I want a challenge in a fight.
I mean come on, Dark Anima with 12 million hp and does > 9999 damage every hit? Bring it on!!!
What's the fundamental difference between A licensing a world to B and A hiring B to do the programming?
When A licenses to B, B is the customer, A is the supplier. More importantly, however, A's success is dependant on the success of the game.
When A hires B, it's the other way around. A doesn't really care about the sales of the game, because it [the royalty payments] is basically free money to them. B is now dependant on the game's success.
So it all depends on who believes in the game more, as to which way this particular see-saw tilts.
When using the proper numbering system, the product of any two numbers can be any given number.
The reason the 'Earth' computer came up with the question 'What do you get when you multiply 6 times 9' is because the Golgafrinchans (sp?) jumped in and screwed up the works.
Think about what happens when you throw and processor into a board made to support a completely different architecture (say throw an intel chip into an AS/400).
You may get it to look like its working, but you probably wont get the answer (or question) you are looking for.
That could not be further from the truth.
Simpsons started out more as a children for adults.
It wasn't on until after prime time (which 13 years ago most children were forced to bed after prime time).
Homer was always the star of the show, until recently.
The cartoon, however, has grown somewhat pale in its political, economical, and religious satire. That, combines with an increase in the amount of would-be 'offensive' material children nowadays are exposed to*, makes the Simpsons now a childrens show.
It was the same with South park (which still somewhat is for adults, but getting more and more for children every season).
* offensive is reference to what would have been considered 13 years ago on television.
Reference also movie and game ESRB ratings.
No, you are quite right.
I didn't mention the other clubs because usually they are not quite as abundant as the top40 clubs (which I am saying most definitely suck...).
Haven't been to clubs laterly, have you?
She's been back for a while now...
As well, probably close to 50% of the club hits this year have been covers and remakes of the shite produced in the 80s... Corey Hart, Madonna, etc...
It's really sad... the 80's are a time that should be forgotten, not rejoiced... The only good drug-induced eras were those that were induced naturally, not chemically.
The problem with this is data retention.
I dont personally know of any UNSENET servers that have more than 10 days worth of posts.
Some of the groups (like alt.binaries.*) will only have 1-3 days retention.
Nope, this guy needs an archive, not a current snapshot
Like the genetic FPGA which, when asked to build an oscillator, found it was much easier just to build a receiver that picked up nearby radio waves that happened to be at the right frequency?
The other porblem with genetic algorithms and such is that you have to be very careful at what you give it to build on. Otherwise you will not get the results you were looking for.
In testing genetic things, you want it to get exactly the intended results, otherwise how do you know that it worked? If you dont' know that it worked, you can't be sure it will work for anything else.
So until we can figure out what the results should be we can't build something to figure out what other paths could be taken to those results
We, as humans, cannot create anything to do comething better than we can (providing we have the same tools).
This is why AI is not more intellignet than humans, why we haven't found a fast way to factor products of large primes with computers, and why humans can still beat computers at chess.
Computers are good ate one thing. Doing mundane calculations over and over again ad.infinitum. They do this very fast.
They cannot, however, compute something that (with enough time) could not be calculated by a human.
We code (create/invent) based on what we know. We know how to calculate the path of a rocket, factoring in initial acceleration, wind, etc... so we can make a computer do it really fast.
We know how to play chess... so we can make a computer do it really fast.
We know how to calculate interest, so we can make a computer do it very fast.
We do not know how to make cold fusion work, therefore we cannot get a computer to figure it out for us.
Until someone figures out a way to teach any human to beat every other human every time, we cannot develop a computer that is 'smarter' that we are.

C'mon, this is
I was never good at that game as a child... so I quit playing.
:)
My mother, however, could beat it in under 30 mins.
Then came M.I.2, I think her best time on that was just under 13 minutes.
If i'm not mistaken was there not an overall time limit of like an hour on those games? I forget.
It was really cool watching the evil genius jump off the top of his tower when you finally caught him though

Quoting history from the website of a beer company. Nothing like enforcing the Canadian stereotype.
Or you could always go with Molson's slogan; 'I Am [Canadian]'
Nothing like trademarking the statement of a fact in the process of enforcing said Canadian stereotype.
Surely you mean Pr3l. You know, like pr0n, but more fun.
Only if you're a masochist...
I think you're backwards
I think you're right... I swear I meant it to be the other way around (as you pointed out).
Whatever... I'm tired... I'm going to bed...
Thanks tho...

Thats actually merely a coincidence.

Now, whip out your schlong and commence to take a whiz on the innards of that power distribution box

It sounds like you missed out on Kylie

Idoubt it, they probably just o/c'd a 133MHz to a 266MHz
Maybe they used an old Pentium processor...
So that's how they got the extra hydrogen in there...
Add a little hydrofluoric acid and poof!!!
2 HF + 2 H2O + 2 O2 => 2 H3O2 + 2 FOOF
Sorry dude... prior art... you lose...

But then I could bribe your midget
As opposed to what, throwing the midget in a trash can?
Midget basketball anyone?
Ya, but the holes in the license are painfully obvious, and the application software is awful
I STILL remember comparing it to the SCO I had at work, and kept comparing the man pages to the IBM XENIX manuals I had stashed away.
So... You're the reason for the lawsuit... damn you!!!
