I believe that i read on the coax section of aintitcool that the indy jones movies will be out on DVD by xmas 2003. Still a while, but at least they are being worked on.
Have people not played Jedi Knight and Jedi Knight II???? These are easily two of the best games ever made, and they just ooze that great Star Wars feeling.
According to the Tivo Community forum, there was some bad language in the show recorded, but the promo is bypassing the parental filters, meaning that even if you have it set up to only record the most boring pointless dribble for your kids, it will still record something R rated if Tivo gets enough money. I have never even looked at the parental controls on my Tivo, but i really find this completly unaceptable.
What the artical ment,(it was very clear to me when i read the entire thing) was that the V3 was the first "Good" 2D/3D card from 3dfx, Rush and Banshee did both, but didn't even begin to compare to the V2.
I keep reading posts from people who think that EcoStar is trying to get the right to re-broadcast all local TV stations. If that is what they wanted, it wouldn't be a problem, everyone would love that. What they are actualy asking for is the right to broadcast the 10 or 20 largest affiliates to everyone and just ignore the rest of the local stations. This also isn't just something that local stations could just pre-empt, the satalites just don't have enough bandwidth to push local content from every station in the country. This will take viewers away from local stations(i'm not saying thats a bad thing) I also have seen a couple of posts stating that there are not enough dish users for this to really make a dent in any local station. The #1 reason there are so few dish users is because most people would end up having to set up an antenna in order to watch ABC/NBC/FOX/CBS. If that was no longer a problem dishes would be flying off shelves, price woudln't even be a factor, a good DirecTV package is cheeper than my local extended basic cable package.
I think one of the biggest problems you will find is that at most major Universites, CS is part liberal arts department. So you have to take lots of electives in social science, history, humanities etc. It seems kinda dumb, but thats part of having a BS degee, being well rounded etc. That is what the school is selling, and that is what anyone who is requiring a BS degree is looking for. Unfortunetly, all of those electives take time to complete, especialy if you can't go to school full time.
Where I work we don't have any specific rules about this kind of thing so things happen both ways, but on the one project where one other guy and I are working side by side on a piece of code, our productivity jumps thru the roof, and not only do we get MUCH more done, the code we produce comes back from QA with almost none(or in several cases Zero) defects. I think alot of it has to do with us catching each others dumb mistakes, and i don't just mean missing ';' or other things that compilers will check (In fact we had to teach our selves to igonor such problems when the other was typing becuase by the end of the day we woudl want to kill each other) We will catch simple logic errors and flawed assumptions as the come up because each of us already has an idea of what the code will look like, and if the other does something completly strange we can discuss it and figure out if its the right thing to do, all before its ever finished. There is nothing worse than digging thru 5k lines of code looking for weird logic erros.
The fact of the matter is that the parents of bullies are either:
a) Bullies themselves
b) Think what their kids are doing is just playing.
c) Just don't care
So it's not like they dont' know what their kids are doing, they just dont see anything wrong with it.
Acording to the SWG boards that is basicly how it will work, but with a very large element of chance when it comes to who can be a Jedi and is also tied closely to how your char behaves from the moment he/she enters the game. The idea is to not put a hard limit on how many jedi there are in the game and at the same time keep them VERY rare.
It doesn't matter what actualy happened at Columbine, the important thing is the backlash that geeks received all over the country after the masacer. Geeks WERE singled out. And like you said, these kids were not geeks, which makes what happened to all the geeks in the country all the more evil.
I do not know if kids that young can make a discernable difference between the two.
Thats exactly the problem with DARE, guess what, young kids are exposed to drugs, they WILL see at least some of their friends using pot, they will probly use pot themselves, and when they find out its not that big of a deal, guess what, they don't know that crack is much worse. Why don't they know? because DARE lied to them.
I'm waiting for this to turn out to be a Nader ad (: just to show how interchangable they are. I suspect this because the Ad company is taking full responibility, but won't say who actualy payed for the Ad.
Uh, i think the idea is that you put big taxes on people who make lots of money because WE CAN AFFORD IT! I have a new car, a new house, all kinds of gadgets and i still have enough coming in that I can go on trips all the time for fun and i'm still going to retire before i'm 50! All this while i'm I have this "burdensome tax" over my head. Sheesh, pay more so those $20k per year single woman with 3 kids can have a little more moeny to buy food with! Don't even try to tell me you are the one who is being penalized.
IF someone wants to put $50K down on XYZ company and the next day it plunges, fine let'em. e*trade had no reason whatsoever to do this in any way shape or form to screen the investors for this IPO reservation in the manner in which they did. There are credit check regs in place, but this was BS and pure idiocy.
Actualy, i'm pretty sure that some idiots out there are sueing e*trade and some othe day trading firms for letting them lose their life savings. This is also happeneing to a few online casinos. but no matter if they should do that or not, this was a total scam and they were trying to save their ass.
Slashdot Mirror
I was thinking the same thing, then I realized its basicaly a big version of RTE
Also note that the "SPONSORED SITES" part of the page goes away on that search.
Time to Karma Whore!
POTUS = President Of The United States
I learned this from the first episode of "The West Wing." Is this common knowledge outside of that show?
The version in my office also has the following items in the YOU CAN section.
FORM subcommittees
MAKE meaningless recommendations
of course foxnews.com hasn't updated their site since the blackout started, if I payed attenion to them i wouldn't have a clue whats going on.
Aparently all of foxnews.com's updaters are in in the NE. Their site hasn't been updated since a few min before the blackout started.
Good thing we are getting our info from CNN

DVD's are not HD. They may be widescreen(most of the time), but they do not have the high resolution that HD gives you.

I had the same problem, but it seems to be fixed now. Thank god.

The hope with TiVo is that telemarketers, spammers, etc will actuly call with things I want! Now wouldnt' that be great!
Uh, actulay BioWare made the games, Black Isle is just the division of Interplay that published torment, and both BG games.
Wasn't Wagner's (sp?) "Ring Cycle" (I think I have that right) written (and performed) during the Nazi regime?
Uh.....i'm pretty sure that wager died in 1883. So probly not.
