Alright I did some testing in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera (all latest versions)
simple link, with a SHY character in the link. Depending on the format of the link (with a http, or without), All 4 browser did the exact thing we expected them to do : The link either showed the hyphen and linked to a hyphened page correctly (when I say "Showed", I mean, that if you mouse-over the link, you see the hyphen in the task bar) or just didn't show it and didn't link to a hyphened page.
So, I don't see the problem in here... i call this FUD.
The summary is completely misleading! The earthquake in "Quebec"? Do you mean Quebec city, 500+ km north-east of Ottawa? Or you mean "Quebec Province"? But that is pretty big (many times the size of France).
And why would you compare the position of a Province to a City??
That is just wrong. The epicenter was in Buckingham, 60km north of Ottawa.
If we take the given fact that demos are there for the users to try the game before they buy it, to know if they like it enough to play a "full length" game, I think this is a good thing. And the only thing we can deduce from the fact that those game, if after the users played the demos, didn't want to buy them, well it meant that either they didn't like the game enough, they didn't feel like it was worth it, or the novelty of the game was over after the Demo.
In all the cases, the only thing the Demo did is to prevent the buyers from buying bad games or games they don't like. So it maybe hurt the game, but it was all for the benefit of the consumer.
On the other hand, if the game company want to try their hand at passing "bad" games for "good" games, so that the buyers buy bad stuff, they should stop the buyers from trying it before. If you want to sell a bottle of water as vodka to someone, don't let him taste it before!
And while we're at it, most thiefs enter houses using doors don't they? We probably should ban doors.
And people who do highway speeding or drug smugling use cars? Probably should ban cars also.
Do you want me to follow that line of thoughts? Because some people use some things illegaly doesn't make it right to ban the thing outright! That's not the same problem!
The Ontario Transport company did the same thing some years ago to stop Allo-Stop to operate in Ontario.
Allo-stop is a wonderful system of carpooling where you call them when you are going from town to town. If you have a car, they will assign you people who don't have them. Money is paid, the guy with the car gets is Gaz paid, the passenger pay a lot less than with Bus Transport, everybody is happy.
I used it sooo much when I was a college student, it saved me hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in transport. Would have gladly used it to go to Ottawa many times, but hey, "unfair competetion" or something...
I'm sorry, do you have any hard fact about what you advance, or you just flame? most humans don't have computer? By that, you say that more than 50% don't? Is that even true? Maybe for Internet (and I'm not even sure of that).
And sorry, but today's cemeteries contain mostly pots of human ashes, or decayed corpses (with 1 set of "cheap" clothing). There are no books, stories, news, tools, history and anything that could hint about the technology, science, or anything interesting at all, for that matter.
The Little Red Spot's winds, now raging up to approximately 400 miles per hour, signal that the storm is growing stronger, according to the NASA-led team that made the Hubble observations. The increased intensity of the storm probably caused it to change color from its original white in late 2005, according to the team
It turned red last year and now its just stronger. Please editors RTFA!!!
I have tested Virtual PC, Virtual Server and VMWare Server and VMWare Workstation for our testing environment, and it seems MS is more flexible in a way: you can easily copy a Virtual Machine from one computer to an other even if they have different hardware. With VMWare workstation, i had strange problems.
I didn't have any of those problems using VMWare Server, but the web interface of MS VServer was really more usefull for our build machines, test environments and portability too.
BUT, MS doesn't support x64 Guest Environment... so even though we have mostly a MS environment (using VirtualServer), we had to use a couple of VMWare Server machines to use WinXP x64...

They buy movies. Everywhere i go, there is a bigger movie shelf for the PSP than the game shelf (Walmart, EBgames, Toy's R us, etc). I suppose PSP owner use them to watch movies.

Ah I re-re-read the summary. It's only to go through the Spam filtering system... forget I said anything.

1/10? In decimal, its 0.5 is it? Thats not that bad...
Wii are tired of hearing about how many bad puns we can do with the name. Wii don't care. Wii want to try the console. Wii want to try the controler.

anyway...
This game is known by the name : Battle of Prince of Persia.
Gamespot rated it not too bad (even though IGN didn't understand the rules).
I bought it, and liked it a lot! Its not a full RPG, closer to a strategy game, but not still a war strategy game (Advance Wars like)
Try it. You may be surprised
So, French isn't European?
thanks! I always thought that France was part of Europe, but now i know better!
Malaria in NORTH america?? ...?!
So he will be a host to a talk show, even though nobody seems to hear him?
Maybe people are tired of sequels?
Anybody want to try something new?
They are still running.
Here's an excellent site where you'll find a lot of speed runs: Speed Demos Archive
A lot of them are pretty impressive (ex: SMB 1 and 3, Diablo, etc)
