Yeah, but i want something thats not just ships. I guess i want it all, charcter, ships, planets, stations. Much like what the article described. Something like KotOR, but with more ships and ship combat too. I had an idea for an awsome Cowboy Bebop themed MMORPG, but no studio is ever gonna make a good anime game, so its not worth wishing.
Agreed, paint is actually pretty powerful. Just a few features, like smart select, and layers and a few more that dont immediatly come to mind, and i wouldnt need to use photoshop much.
Luke is the last character we wanna see as an adolescent. C'mon, he was a farmer on a desert planet, snore. Even leia would be more interesting. Her dad was a senetor in the imperial senate. And anyone whos read the illustrated starwars universe knows how kickass alderran is.
The character that me, and im sure everyone else would like to see grow up between epIII and IV... Boba Fett. C'mon, his father gets killed in front of him, thats gonna make for an extra angsty teen. From kid to the biggest badass in the universe. Now that would be a cool show. Not Dawsons Creek with landspeeders and Jawas like this is gonna be.
Drug free workplace is fine, thats the employers time, you come in intoxicated (on anything), they should fire your ass. But drug testing doesnt differentiate. Im in university now, i get my work done durring the week, and party a bit on the weekends, usually booze, sometimes weed. This does not impact my day to day life. When im working again this summer, i would never dream of coming into work drunk or stoned, but if i want to do those things on the weekend, why is it my employers business?
Actually I've always thought the ultimate geek dwelling would just be a single floor of some old industrial buidling; someplace where you could hang cable trays directly from exposed cieling beams. (Not to mention 3-ph 480V power, for when you pick up that surplus Cray on eBay.)
Wow, you just described exactly what i would do if i won the lottery. Buy some old 5 story warehouse, the kind with a ton of little windows (GIS warehouse windows, idk if theres a proper name for them). I'd just gut it, live on the top floor and do i dont know what with the rest of it. Personal parking garage and skate park maybe...
This sorta thing just came up on nationstates for me. Inmates are now compulsory organ donars. Im not sure if that means theyre harvested as needed, or if everything goes if they get shanked or something.
They went ahead and got a SATA hard drive, but chose not to include a floppy drive, and gave their reasons for doing so? The only thing i've used a floppy for in the past 2 years is installing SATA drivers. Yeah i have on in my box, but its a combo with an 11 in one card reader too.
How do you turn off the upload on edonkey? I just got a call yesterday (after using it here for a year and a half) from resnet telling me to turn off uploading, but is that possible with edonkey? I thought that was one of the main features, that you cant leach. I dont want to leach forever, just for another 3 months untill i get my apartment and my cable connection. I had a couple of important files that i took over to my friends house that hes finishing for me, but all the trivial stuff that theres no rush i dont wanna give up on for 3 months. But with Ed2k turning down the upload speed automatically throttles the download speed. Whats the trick?
Whats up with kids today. So many of my friends only listen to stuff that their parents listened to in high-school. Yeah i apreciate the classics, but hell, even my parents listen to new music (not top 40 shit mind you), while if i go over to one of my friends houses i dont hear much from the last 15-20 years... There is good new music out there.
Stuff was bigger back then. We were smaller, and weve always been naked squishy monkeys. Something interesting along these lines, the universal dragon myth, in which similar creatures (dragons) exist independently in different cultures (asian, european, even native american), is thought to stem from an amalgamation of early human predators left over in some sort of instinctive memory. Lions' jaws and claws, body of a snake, wings of an eagle (yes, eagles were big enough to prey on humans), and fire.
Funny, a few hours ago my Fiance called me upset cuz she broke the USB drive i gave her for her b-day while she was vaccuming. Brushrollers caught the strap and yanked it right out, destroyed the usb port and smashing the drive itself. I guess it took out the vaccum to and that managed to set off the smoke alarm. Wish i coulda seen that, it sounded spectacular...
Our plan for any girls is similar, when theyre about that age, shell have a talk with them, give them a vibrator and tell them that itll do a better job than any boy for at least a couple of years, so they shouldnt even bother. I of course will abstain from the vibrator selection since im not well versed in that area...
I plan to do this. Ive got a pretty sizable porn collection, which has served me well over the years. Im engaged now, but im a pack rat, so im not gonna delete it all. When we have kids, once we catch the boys looking at teh boobies online, ill leave a folder or two of the more vanilla stuff on their desktop (theyll all have their own computers). This will keep them from having to go out into the wilds of the internet, and keep them away from the stuff that turns even my stomach, and away from all the spyware and crap you get from pornsites...
Without weapons we wouldnt have been on top of the food chain. Go try to take down a deer. Not fast enough to run it down, jaws arent large enough to deliver a killing bite, no claws to injure it, probably not enough strenth to break its neck. We are a weak species with crappy senses. Its a good thing we have thumbs.
And also, wolves are probably a lot bigger than you think. They have teeth, claws, crushing jaws and are stronger and faster than you are. Maybe a human could take down a wolf with a lucky kick to the jaw or something, but you wouldnt walk away unscathed. Hell, people get mauled pretty bad by smaller breeds of dogs, much less pits and rotweilers, which are still quite a bit smaller than your average wolf.
It doesnt seem that farfetched to me that a species of eagle with a 12" wingspan (largest flying bird ever was more than twice that) would prey on children or even small adults untill we were quick enough with spears and smart enough with tactics to turn the tables.

God i wish it werent april fools. I would love to play a good non-fantasy MMORPG. When the hell is tabula rasa coming out? Fucking ponies...

Theres a mystery slot at the bottom (if its not upright, otherwise left side) of the revolution, which could take a DS cartridge...

Mountain dew is avaliable.
Because otherwise the Brits have loved the French for, oh the past thousand years....
Why does this have a Sony icon, but not the Dual Shock controller PS2 icon. It would seem more apropriate...

Good, i can tell my fiance that so shell feel better about me spending $1k on a home theater for our college apartment.
My apartment is 1100sq', 2 bedrooms, large living room, kitchen, full bath. Not cramped at all, but i cant say ive ever been in a house that size...

Could one go to the holodeck and play WoW?

Buncha cowardly, inbred piss pots...

How many of these apps utilize dual cores? Most games dont. So if this thing is just 2 FX55s, that means that an FX55 is beating intels newest chip.
