One would think that the Xbox 360 port should come right over...I'm just not sure where all the extra bugs would arise. The actual game logic and assets should be identical.
It's just a half-arsed port. It didn't take them a year because it was a year's worth of work, it took them that long because they didn't give a shit. And why should they? PC gamers only want to play World of Warcraft anyway.
Let me break it down for them and you: - Kids in the 1950s did not study what we study today - Kids today did not study what kids studied back in the 1950s
Yes, because stuff that used to be in the syllabus in the 1950s has been removed to improve pass rates. Give it five years, and the government will be declaring that 99% of kids have straight As, then universities will be wondering why their applicants can't spell their own names.
Also private schools are allowed to employ people with no teaching qualifications - this opens the field to essentially anyone with a degree (or even A-level in some cases), thus increasing competition for jobs and lowering salaries.
I don't see the problem with that, someone who knows the subject is better than someone who only knows 'teaching' rather than anything in particular. Do university professors need teaching qualifications?
What's the point in being proud of a capital city when it was only made successful at the expense of the rest of the country? I doubt the French would be to happy if the French version of Thatcher destroyed Lille's economy to boost Paris. Thatcher deliberately destroyed the North's economy whilst simultaneously pumping up the City, is it any wonder London is so rich, and why everyone else is so bitter about it?
Sometimes it would be nice for people to have some national pride rather than going "me me me!" all the time.
Why should a northern factory worker be proud about losing his job whilst a City trader makes millions gambling with people's pension funds?
On the other hand, London controls the government, the media, and the financial system, allowing them to keep the North poor and reliant on handouts. Note how northern manufacturing and mining were deliberately destroyed by the government, yet banks get bailout after bailout. Note the strong-pound policy, to boost the City and wreck northern factories which depend on exports. The same factories crippled by regulation whilst the City does whatever they like while Gordon Brown kisses their feet. And all this decided by 646 Londoners in Westminster.
On the contrary, British schools, as well as other public services have been showered with cash over the last decade. The problem is, the increased funding hasn't actually led to any increase in standards, quite the reverse in fact.
You don't paralyse the Olympics by removing all sorts of expensive crap that will be thrown in the skip two weeks later. And how are the government 'wankers' for trying to save tax-payers' money?
Except if you double the frame rate, then you half the data available for each frame so the quality will be lower.
Of course all this neglects the fact that the main issue with HDTV is the quality of the source. If they take a 576 picture, blow it up to 720, then compress it to fuck, it's not worth paying the £10 a month extra.
I do crossfit-like training, and there's a guy at the training house I go to who has a distinct pot belly and will regularly outperform about 80% of the people who go there at just about any kind of exercise, whether it's heavy lifting or the brutal anaerobic endurance workouts we do.
That doesn't mean he's healthy, his heart could be about to pack in for all we know. Many NFL players die in their 30s or 40s.
I wouldn't. A friend of mine worked for the Red Cross, and was required to keep an emergency phone on her at all times when she was on-call-- and those on-call periods could last upwards of a week. Or how about a doctor who needs to be accessible immediately, but also has social obligations?
Perhaps they'd cope the same way they did before phones were ubiquitous. Or perhaps there could be a special screen in each cinema for phone users that isn't blocked.
Say we have a vastly more effective police force: That could account for it. Say we have stricter (draconian?) drug laws: That could account for it. Say we have slower due-process and the majority are merely pass-throughs
Or, you just have more crime due to vast inequality caused by unfettered capitalism. But don't suggest that to Republican voters.
Gmail was obscure and unadvertised but still become incredibly popular and successful. But then gmail was actually good, and this lively thing is pointless shit.
With a recession coming and advertising spending going down, maybe Google need to stop throwing money and irrelevant, unprofitable shit just to keep their PHDs in a job.
The last firefox 'security update' I installed completely wrecked it, making it crash on startup. Now it only runs in safe mode. I hope they never realise any more of these 'improvements'.
If everyone put in 10,000 hours training, then everyone would be 10,000 hours more educated, more knowledgeable and more skilful. And as a result, the whole world would be more successful.
Everything is down to being in the right place at the right time. Even ourselves on this messageboard were born in the West in the late 21st century, and we owe our comfortable living to not being born in Africa during the slave trade. We can't complain about the fortune of Gates without realising that there are people living in mud huts with malaria and AIDS who are harder working and more talented than we are.

You could finish that sentence with any single absurd situation you can think of and it would be believable.
I'm actually a spelling Nazi, and dictionaries include all sorts of incromulent words because they don't want to offend people.
"Fuck" is also in the dictionary, but you wouldn't use that in polite conversation would you?
I don't think that's actually physically possible.
Btw, it's 'more stupid'. I think Slashdot posters are becoming illiterater these days.

If it's so liberal, why do ISPs only give you one IP address?
Either that, or it would drive inflation and launch a crippling debt torpedo.

The difference is, the energy's already in the fossil fuels, we'd have to put it into the hydrogen ourselves.

Yes, I also get my opinions from a children's cartoon written by libertarian nut jobs.

Five different FPSes doesn't strike me as a very exciting diverse line-up.

Why have you sullied this site with the worst, unfunniest web comic of all time?

Yes, the lives of people all over the world have been ruined by mass-market home computing.
