That's a bit of an exaggeration. When the Swiss militia was armed with battlerifles they might have been able to shoot through two guys coming up a pass and wound a third. But the modern assault rifle packs a smaller punch; You'd be lucky to get two.
I'd pick the UN, USA, Russia, and China. probably in that order. Call it Operation Blueredyellow Dawn. Everybody or just one big country attacks the neutral fortress nation. Anyways it sounds like a good story.
The idea of "nature" was given that name to describe the portion of the world which is outside of the works of man. Using the term Nature presupposes a separation between what man controls and influences and what we do not. The idea that man is an outsider to nature is very old and entwined with many other ideas and ideals. At it's core is the idea that our sentience allows us a measure of control over the universe to shape as we will.
It's probably more relative joystick vs a mouse's absolute position. I don't have a problem playing a game designed with the autoaim inherent to a joystick's lackadaisical movement. But it can be annoying for the game to get around to the target I want to hit.
Back in the day I used to prefer KB/M/joystick, all three. Buddy of mine used KB/M/Trackball/and a Spaceball all at the same time. It's a PC so you don't really have to choose. Maybe. We'll see.
I agree. Though I think the small controller size was more because they felt that the controllers were sized for western children (target audience and all) rather than Japanese adults. I thought the big xbox controller was fine for me but I thought it odd that they weren't targeting children's handsize.
You need a better couch. OK I'm kinda kidding insofar as what you need, But I bought both my last and current couch with it's suitability as a mousepad in mind. They've both worked fine.
I never noticed lag issues with (non BT) wireless KB/M setups. for me it was always range when voltage dropped with rechargeable batteries. With a fresh set of batteries that (range) was fine. but youd get missed keypresses within a couple of days. A USB KB/M setup gets flakey beyond 6ft w/o a powered hub in the middle. Meanwhile medieval PS/2 with a pair of long ass extension cables always worked fine.
But my modern BT keyboard and mouse work fine. They're rechargeable from across the room.
I always considered trackballs better for fine movement when I used a 2-3 button PS2 mouse, back then I used both. But a modern gaming mouse is incredibly precise and all the buttons stay under your fingers during that movement. With a decent mouse you can even hotkey the speed of your cursor movement. I don't see the advantage of trackballs anymore.
She should still have her own account. I believe you are restricted to the same degree she is with the single licence. If you want to share access to the account, have her sit on your lap working the keyboard while you handle the "mouse."
Valve already stated that SteamOS is a Linux Distro. GNU? Not sure. Is SteamOS going to run on proprietary driver blobs from NV and AMD by default? Then I'd think not. But it's intended to run on a variety of hardware including a HTPC that could be sitting in your living room right now. At least from what I read on the Valve FAQ. I really have a difficult time wrapping my head around a Linux system with a variety of hardware that won't require some access to a command line and something to edit configs. but if they can pull that off, kudos to them.
My take is that a Steambox will be a Linux PC in a console like enclosure with a gameconsole like interface, sold by third parties, and likely including some level of remote support with the price of admission.
Nah, they said it would not be HL3. We all figured it would be the controller they kept referring to. A living room game system needs a livingroom game controller.
I suspect strongly that HL3 will require a MS Windows based OS at launch and quite surprised and pleased if it even runs locally on any version of a steambox or a computer running SteamOS..Valve has stated that the Steambox will stream more hardware intensive games from your beefier Windows system.
The goat kinda replaces the pig and the cow for much of the people that would be the target of cricket flour. And the goat is a source of milk and cheese for protein, not just meat.
Speaking of taboos, cultures with religions that keep Halal might have a problem with eating bugs if they are improperly killed. So smashing them to death would make them haraam (as bad as eating pork). Just roasting insects alive would not make the food halal but it wouldn't be expressly forbidden to eat if you had no other choice. And to make insects halal I think you'd need to have muslim slicing off cricket heads with an exacto knife while praising Allah.
Of course bugs are also strictly non-kosher (as is lobster, etc...)
I'm not sure about the weakness of next gen consoles. They may look like a low spec-ed PC but the code will be for the hardware. Remember the original Xbox was also just a very very weak PC. It had a 733MHz CPU and its GPU was in the GF2MX range. I think it even only had 64MB of memory. PC ports of Xbox games required quite a bit more than that.
Still I'd expect 1080P gaming to be the target of this next generation of consoles and you can build a pretty damn cheap machine that games well at 1080P.
Yes I takes more than a day. It always has. Unless you use one of the build a PC guides that, these days, only get updated about every six months. They pretty much tell you what to buy for the money but go obsolete pretty quick. Even so, guides usually have a comments section that often list better builds for the money or cheaper builds with better performance.
Today there's a model number for each pricepoint from 100 to 1000 bucks for CPUs and Video cards. Manufacturers use the numbers to obscure the value of the component so a 760 might mean faster slower or the same as 660 of the previous generation. You have to research it.
It's certainly more complicated than it was 13 years ago when Athlons and P3 were sold by their frequency and were almost identical in performance. Though even then it was easy to buy the wrong component.
Forums are still probably the best place to quickly catch up on the art of building a capable sub$1000 box.
I plan on giving SteamOS a go on my HTPC, which is basically just an old workstation laptop in a dock. However it has an old crusty ATi X1600 256MB on the mobo, and that has kept it stuck as a WinXP-Pro machine all these years. I don't expect SteamOS to support the card's legacy Linux drivers anybetter than the other distros do...
Heh, I was at recess in third grade when they rolled the YF16 out of the General Dynamics hanger in red white and blue livery. That school was on the Carswell runway so we got to see it put through nice aerobatic displays for a couple of days. I think it was on day 2 the plane's landing gear got stuck and the pilot had to land the plane on its belly on the grass median between the two runways. But that was on the news and I didn't get to see it.
Well for me the boring part is the grind. I'm not interested in beating a boss for a +1 sword of twinkie spearing. For me it's not a "YESSSS!" moment to get the reward on try 5 when it can drop on try 1. I'm not a slot machine player either.
Yeah I've got no problem with auction houses. I'd hate to be grinding the same quest over and over trying to get the perfect item. Grinding isn't an achievement, it's pathetic.. Just take what you get and sell it to somebody that needs it. Take that gold and buy what you need. Done and the game doesn't become a full time job.

Not only that, but you'd probably choke to death trying to swallow a huntsman.
Bitcoin mining with your own GPU is almost over.
What if you aren't paying for the hardware or the electricity bill on a thousand machines?.
But he's still on Youtube.

Right and if you upgraded the C2D to a ~3GHz C2Q you'd be right back in the game.
