I just got MOH:AA, but it seems to me that there are only FOUR team-based missions! (Omaha, Bridge, Rocket and 1 other I forget). I think you can deathmatch a lot of others, but only four counterstrike-like boards. Am I wrong here? I sure would love to be...

I think that this group will be a welcome addition to the clics in HBO's "OZ." Now you have Skinheads, Black Muslims, Italians, and the ever-so-feared Macies.
Why do geeks feel that they can change the name of the Sun? I personally feel that it is incredibly ignorant to call the Moon Luna or the Sun Sol. The Moon and The Sun are it`s names. Period. It happens to also be the proper noun. (Yes, proper nouns can have "the" in it i.e. The Bronx - you don't say I'm from Bronx). It`s like people who insist on calling Israel Jewish-occupied-Palestine or something (NOT flamebait! Not getting into a I-P debate, just making an analogy!).
Does anyone else feel this way, or am I the only one? I understand that "The Moon" and "The Sun" are very Earth-centric terms, and obviously most planets and every solar system has their own "Moon" and "Sun," but I still feel that we have not come to a point where this name change is necessary. Any comments?
If you've never used a Palm before... or at least a Palm V (which is what I have...)
1. You have to hold down the phonebook button for 3 seconds to send the bussiness card [Total: 3 seconds]
2. A note pops up "Looking for receiver" for a 2 seconds, [5 seconds]
3. The note gets beamed, taking a second[6 seconds]
4. Palm has it's "accept message" sign, taking the other user 1-5 seconds to answer [7-12 seconds]
I'm sure you'll find a problem with this, but it's my math. I know the 10 Mbit will change #3 (which is why I made it a second, not 1-2 or 3 seconds as it is with mine), but it won't change the fact that the Palm's internal setup is still lax.
Ok... so you go up to a complete stranger at a convention. Instead of a quick paper card or a beam from a pda, you have to hold the strangers hand, then with the other hand, press SEND, then wait maybe 10 VERY AWKWARD seconds while holding this man/woman's hand. Only if she were sexy would this be anything but really weird...
Slashdot did a story on them before. I know there has been talk of doing this before, so who is actually to stop them if the, er... offer is large enough?
Do you think that if a human player beats this computer it will erase Deep Blue's victory from people's memory? I think not. No one seemed to care that the grandmasters could beat the pc's for years. They only cared when the humans lost to the silicon.
Don't try and make it sound sophisticated. Midori is basically honeydew melon schnapps. Sometimes I have an all girly-drink night too, but I don't try and call my pink ladies "Whiskey Reds" or something like that!
but seriously, an arcade bachelor party sounds sweeeeeeeeeet!
Was there ever a better birthday party than the ones at arcades (when kids used to go to them)? You'd arrive with the He-man action set and the birthday boy's mother would hand you a little plastic bag/cup with like 25 tokens in it? Priceless!
Anyone remember that Sega game "Time Traveler" where there was no game screen but instead a hologram acting out your moves? That was SUCH a cool game. I used to spend HOURS on that thing at the "arcade."
Lik-Sang had the best stuff! You could buy Gameboy Advance Flash card from them. That allows you to put any NES games or GBA games on your Gameboy. SO illegal, but so fun! MOD chips for every system. It was a nice site with nice goodies, but this stuff was VERY not nice to the game companies!
As a medical student, we learned last year in our pharmacology course about the disasters pharmacutical companies face when they don't "overpatent."
In the 1970's, Procter and Gamble created a promising new drug. Say the process of creating this compound ("D") was by the following method:
A -->B -->C -->D
Anyway, so P&G created compounds B,C and D and finally patented only their product D. It turns out that drug D failed FDA testing and was forgotten. Another company found out that compound C was a great drug for a totally unrelated illness. That company took the un-patented compound C, patented it, and made billions.
Because of that, drug companies now spend the extra measly few bucks (to them) to patent everything under the sky that they create. This saves their asses, but unfortunately forbids anyone else from researching their patented side-notes (because say some other company realizes that the now patented intermediate compund from P&G is a miracle cure. It would have cost millions to discover this, and P&G would be totally in-the-right legally to develop this and reap 100% of the profits).

No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.
Flamebait flamebait flamebait. This is simply a stupid stereotype. Oh, and British shows always play to the HIGHEST denominator? ( weakest link)

Oh duh! So obvious! Thanks a lot though! Boy do I feel stupid...
But why exactly is white better than black? (no racist karma-whore answers here please)

Game Over man.

In english, it is precisely "Sun Mercury Venus Earth Moon Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto"
My apologies if you were referring to Sol in another Latin language. I just don't agree with that name as the Sun re-named or simply re-imagined.

If you're close enough to TOUCH the person... why not just give a business card or TALK to the person???
So, you take a pinch of mommy, a dash of daddy, and after 9 months... [dips finger into beakers and licks it]... Mmmm... that's good Billy!"

You mean, just like Dragon's Lair? One of the most innovative and inspirational games of all time?
