Its worth it just to use the cheat codes and shoot people during the "story" sections. If they are set to give a speach and you unload into them they'll finish talkign and then expload. Its neat.
Here we find the pirate in his native environment, once a proud ocean going species, the modern pirate makes his home in basements and subsides on a diet of instant Raman. Bereft of social skills, the pirate will often take on a female persona in an attempt to trick other males posing as females into online chat room lesbian sex. The best way to rile up a modern pirate is to introduce a real female into its habitat. Crikey, looks like he wet himself.
Simple idea realy, you should be able to make a simple mounting system to let you use one of these with just about any camera. Its just four mirrors in two sets of two reflecting each other to split the image at two diferent focal angles. Using photoshop, gimp or whatever you can cut the resulting image in two and drop the needed color value to use the color seperation glasses or you can use an old stereoscope viewer or stereoscopic shutter glasses.
Your right! All everyone needs to do is get a degree and a job as a teacher. Then they wont have to pay for the MacOS X service packs, I mean upgrades. I got burned on 10.1 and will not buy another Apple OS because of it.
You seem to be having a one sided rivalry since I have no recollection of who you are, guess I realy should use the freinds/foes function some times. From this thread you seem like a typical zealot, however I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on that since I do like a good argument.;-)
To reiterate however, I'm all for using the right tool for the right job. At current I just don't think that Linux offers a good general-purpose desktop environment compared to Windows, OS X or even SGIs Open Magic. I'm not saying that it can't be used, just that there seems to be better choices out there and to ignore them just because they come from Microsoft is rather self-defeating. In general while I do try to use Linux and BSD because I like the development philosophies behind the projects I keep running into the problem that I have other platforms that can perform the task at hand better. Granted that's just me, he who lives in a rats nest of fiber optic cables and esoteric workstations. A good example of this is a web server I'm trying to build currently. I want to use Linux or BSD because the system has no video card, redirecting the BIOS information to serial instead (Intel ISP1100 system). However I also want to have a firewire card in the box so that I can quickly add more temp storage. Unfortunately non of the PCI cards I have around seem to work with the two operating systems. So I'm left with the choice of using Windows 2003 or buying more hardware.
After all's said and done I could definitely see myself using Linux as a primary desktop (I do like Gnome and KDE over most of the other UNIX GUIs out there, excepting that which comes from SGI) should the applications come along.
Which is fine, I'm not against any government, orginization or person from using any OS they want. So long as the logic behind the choice is vallid. I'm all for using the right tool for the right job. What I dislike is people who claim that [Enter OS here] is the ONE TRUE OS!!!!
Well, right now nothing (freaking economy). However none has introduced the same level of development, image editing and desktop publishing tools to Linux that can be found on other platforms. Kilx is nothing compared to C++ Builder or Visual Studio.NET, GIMP is just compared to Photoshop and I can?t think of anything to compare to Vegas Video. What?s more, for my main system I simply don?t want to mess around with the OS. On Linux and every other UNIX or Unix system I use there is a disproportionate amount of time working with the OS rather then applications. I don?t use an OS, I use apps and need an OS that launches them and does file management, that?s it. The day when I can stick an expansion card into a Linux system and have it simply work is the day I consider using it, not before.
I disagree; people with simple needs are not well suited for Linux as it is. They would end up spending more time dealing with the OS then with the applications. This isn't to say that someone couldn't build a system based on Linux that could work, just that it hasn't been done. For one thing I think that X and most of the server deamons should be dropped. The basic home user has no need for redirect able displays and something simpler that does basic functions such as resolution changing better could be had. OS X is a good example of this, as is SGI OpenMagic (still has X compatibility but is much better integrated into the OS).
By all means, lets all switch to Linux regardless of if its the best tool for the task. Freakin zellots.
Most people use Windows because for the time being its the best all around choice. There is nothing on Linux that can do the things that I need to do on a day to day bassis. When I need UNIX I use it, I have sevearl Sun and SGI systems around my apartment and have Linux and BSD running in VMWare in addition to my MacOS X system (least used of the bunch I fear). However bottom line is that Windows lets me get work done that would be far harder to do on the other platforms.
You may give up productivity for your OS ideals. Thats fine. Just dont expect the rest of us to go along with it.
How many people where asked, what was the demographic, and what messues where taken to ensure that the results are not scewed? Look at it this way, what would you think of a poll taken at a MS dev confrance that had results like 80% of users think MS is doing a great job?
From a purely technical standpoint, no the press does not have a right to keep information from the FBI. Freedom of the press simply means that the government cannot restrict what a journalist writes and publishes. They can still have their notes subpoenaed just like anyone else.
First they came for the Netscape users and I did not speak out because I was not a Netscape user.
Then they came for the Opera users and I did not speak out because I was not an Opera user.
Then they came for the Mozila users and I did not speak out because I was not a Mozila user.
Then they came for me and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
If Pastor Martin Niemoller had been a Slashdot user.
For all you know I could have been talking about the Japanese occupation of China, the US handling of accused terrorists, the US imprisonment of American citizens of Japanese descent or any other instance of mass imprisonment. Nothing said has anything to do with Goodwin?s Law, so bugger off ya Nazi. Oh dang.
Dear God your RIGHT! Lock the doors Martha, there gona be comming for me any second now. Get out my good shotgun and push the couch up against the window. You'll never take me alive Slashdot Bastards! You or your Microsoft Overlords.
It is one of my goals in life to not end up part of a news cast which finishes with the phrase "before turning the shotgun on himself". So far so good.

There are quicker ways to degrade the sound quality then converting it twice. Why not just poke some holes in your speakers?
Apple claims that it only works with the iPod.

I have more then three computers and my portable MP3 players are just that, MP3 players. I and many people like me have no use for iTunes.
These days I'd more concerned about the whole "and liberty and justice for all" bit. How about some truth in advertising here?

Sure, it seems like nothing now. But once all the Opera and Mozilla users have been rounded up, put into camps and executed it'll be too late.

You installed Norton AV on those poor systems? Thats like pounding on the hard disk with a rubber hammer and then bitching when the system crashes.
