My brothers and friends spent many an hour playing Tunnels of Doom. Once, because of a glitch in the program, my character had a " " that did 30pts of damage (the glitch caused the item to have no name). It was more than the best normal weapon (warball and chain, iirc), and could be used over and over. Ah, great memories!
1) They switched Darrens
Look closely and you'll notice the human member of their party is played by two different actors at different points of the movie (it takes a sharp eye to notice, but one of them has red hair, one black).
You're thinking about Bewitched, not LoTR. Nobody cared then, either.
Of course, it also means an evil, despotic country that is cloning humans for its army can make its soldiers completely fearless, eliminating one source of possible defeat on the battlefield (breaking of morale).
This just in: Scientists in an evil, despotic country have started a crash program to develop a way to "turn off" the gene that causes fear in their existing soldiers, and make them fearless in battle.
It reads like it was translated from the original Japanese into English by a unilingual Cantonese speaker then translated into Norwegian by a drunken Scotsmen, only to be translated back into English by a committee of patent attorneys.
It looks like you've discovered the "technology" behind Babelfish.
The key is to not be on a computer. No computer can match the flexibility and resourcefulness of a real, live, flesh-and-blood person. CRPGs and face-to-face RPGs are 2 very different things.
So, he doesn't like them. He thinks they are for copyright violation. He thinks cable companies should sue the PVR manufacturers. So, why does he own one and why is he pissed that his wife can't operate it.
Hey Gary, can she set the clock on your old VCR?
Of course she can't. She's paid by the hour, and it isn't in her job description.
Niven: Known Space (interesting tech)
Baxter: Xelee stories (interesting timeline, decent science)
Hamilton: Night's Dawn (interesting space opera)
Hamilton(again): Mindstar series (good cyberpunk stories, reminds me of Crichton)
More importantly, are there any banks that don't share (or sell) their customers' private information?
It used to be, the banker was like the grocer or barber: a member of the community. But now, the banks are just trying to squeeze as much money out of the consumer as possible. Not that long ago, we didn't have transaction fees, teller fees, atm fees, etc. The banks have been slowly adding fees over the years in their quest for cash. Of course they'll sell your info, if it'll make them a buck or two.
And even if you do find an ethical bank who wont sell your information, your personal info will get out anyway.
I guess the only safe way to save money nowadays is to stuff it in a mattress.
Ralsky agreed to this interview and the tour of his operation only if I promised not to print the address of his new home, which I found in Oakland County real estate records.
Now, what someone needs to do is send out millions of copies of his new address to his spam lists, and the problem will correct itself.
If you're going to spend a grand to install this in your SUV, and then pay the monthly fee, wouldn't it be easier to not park your truck in the 'hood!?!
I mean, come on, it's got to be easier to keep someone from stealing it in the first place, than to track it after it's been stolen. And how hard do you think it's going to be for the thieves to disconnet this once they've stolen it?
Slashdot Mirror
IMHO, a far better read than smut.
Have you seen some of the smut on the internet nowadays?
Ok, I read the article, but I can't see how it relates to Ponch and Baker?
Why don't the salvagers get their own sonar rigs? Then they could find the wrecks themselves...

My mother is still addicted to Teddy Boy on the Sega Genesis. One of the only card-cartridge games I ever saw...
...on cassette tape, for a TI 994a!

The code-name for this program is Alcohol.
Now that would be cool! Disturbing, but cool.

Here's an idea - Give some reason for the customers to click. Offer prizes.
You mean like "Punch the monkey and win!"? I think it's been proven that doesn't work.
What do you think is the key to a great RPG?
The key is to not be on a computer. No computer can match the flexibility and resourcefulness of a real, live, flesh-and-blood person. CRPGs and face-to-face RPGs are 2 very different things.
Drooling /.'er want to know!
I hope it's not a MS OS. Can you imagine the BSOD on one of these?

Yes. Kevin Kline wasn't too bad, but I agree that the plot needed some work.
"Wild, Wild West"
Wil Smith totally ruined that movie. I hope he doesn't ruin this one (but I'm not holding my breath).

Pr0n on sale, Aisle 2!
...Guide to the Galaxy (original text game). I mean, how else can they claim to have "no-profit" and "profit" at the same time?
Tune in next week, when Spidey battles the Ravenous Bug-Bladder Beast of Thrall!
If those Asians wouldn't eat so much spicy food, then there wouldn't be so much "carbon emissions" from Asia!
...what do you mean "Methane"?
Leave it to a geek to relate everything to sex.
So, how much porn do you need to cary on a business trip anyway?
All of it.
