what about the bf2 engine? It has a ranking system (although it's for vanilla maps, not mods), it has a commander, squads etc... I'd really like to see if the GC guys migrated to the BF2 engine... Besides, isn't there already a BF like starwars game out (Battleground or something)?
they should ban cell phones usage in vehicules because it's too dangerous. I don't know about most people but I can't drive with one hand and hold a cell phone with the other, besides my other hand is already busy holding my beer....
Thank god! I thought I was the only one that thought of Ghostbusters when I saw the name!
Dr. Peter Venkman: [discussing the creature Dana saw in her fridge] Zuul was the minion of Gozer. Dana Barrett: What's Gozer? Dr. Peter Venkman: Gozer was very big in Sumeria Dana Barrett: Well, what's he doing in my ice box? Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm working on that.
Actually, I would categorise them in Linux. The thing is that custom/classic cars CAN have A/C and alike, it's just a bit more work. However, with the newer Linuxes (lunices?) like Ubuntu, you can have bells and whistles for less work.
Linux/Unix is like a classic muscle car, loud, crude with raw power, often customized, sometimes not too pretty, but kicks ass; the essence of what a car should be. However, not everyone likes it because there's no A/C or power windows or GPS navigation or some other crap.
Windows is like a SUV, bloated, gaz guziliing, thinks its safe and secure but is a danger to the public. Most people don't need it but everyone wants one.
Mac OS (before Intel chips) is like nice luxury car. Looks good, well made, just works, lotsa bling bling, but damn too pricey. For 'professionals' with money to spend.
Anyone remember keycad? All keyboard controlled, ultimate precision, one pixel at a time. It ran on IBM XTs: boot MS-DOS 3 on one floppy, load keycad on another. HDD, pffft, floppy disk all the way!.... ah, those where the days....
I don't know if it's related, but I've noticed a couple of times that when I get the search result page, I get asked to set a cookie from one of the sites in the results, without clicking on them. (my Firefox is configured to ask me to set cookies.). This is somewhat disturbing, I mean if my FF was set to accept cookies automatically, I would have cookies for sites I have never visited...
composite is a single cable (usually yellow colored to identify it)
component is several cables (usually red, green and blue colored cables to identify them)

Didn't they already try this in Gremlins 2.

*nix is much longer and able to go much deeper in the path.
I know there's a joke in there somewhere...
Idiot! It's not working because it's: Omlette au fromage, not 'omlet du fromage'.

Here's my take on that 'analogy':
Linux/Unix is like a classic muscle car, loud, crude with raw power, often customized, sometimes not too pretty, but kicks ass; the essence of what a car should be. However, not everyone likes it because there's no A/C or power windows or GPS navigation or some other crap.

Intel confirms it: Pentium is dead! AMD rejoices!
Thanks for the info, sounds interesting. It looks like I'll have to look into this, I'm gonna put a sniffer on this...
I know it's not the ads because the cookies' domain matches the result links. I don't think is Javascript either.

Did anyone else notice this?

No, I just can't spell surrounded properly.

You shave?!
Everyone knows *nix gods never shave and keep a beard all of their lives.
Close, just switch component and composite.
composite is a single cable (usually yellow colored to identify it)
component is several cables (usually red, green and blue colored cables to identify them)
and yes, slashdot seems obsessed with Xbox...
Yeah, but I can't wait to get enough points for my next upgrade: the m95. DuD35, 1'm g0nN4 b3 s0 l33t!
The PIC acronym was used for "Peripheral Interrupt Controller...
I think it's PROGRAMMABLE Interrupt Controller (PIC). Maybe you're thinking of PCI: Peripheral Component Interconnect
