I was wondering the same thing. My email address is posted on about 5,000 individual web pages on my web site and has been floating around since July 1998.
According to K9, I "only" receive about 60 to 75 spams a day.
I'd think you would have to work very hard in order to get the amount of spam that this cat is claiming.
The funny thing is that accuracy might even go down as you get into close quarters combat. I'm much more likely to blindly snap shots off at 30 metres between me and a responding target than I am at one at 100 metres.
Either way, if it was easy hitting someone with an assault rifle they wouldn't have had to train us:-)
I'm surprised after the D-Day portion of one of the Medal of Honour: Allied Assault games that people want that ultra-realism. I don't know about other people but I died six times before I got up the beach and only because I luckily bumped into a medic.
I can tell you have no experience with real world combat situations because in real life a "very close" engagement is about 10 to 20 metres/30 to 60 feet, or five to ten times less than your ideas on the matter.
Of course, we're comparing a video game to real life so I suppose we're both talking a bit out of our ass on this one.
I wouldn't argue that there aren't significant problems with XP Home, that's why I called it garbage. That said, if you gave two typical home users PCs with fresh installs of XP Home and a variant of Linux I think we both know which PC would end up being used, XP Home weaknesses or not.
For the record, if it isn't clear, I'm no fan of XP Home:-)
Parody is funny when it's based on the truth. As much as a piece of garbage that XP Home is, arguing (tongue in cheek or otherwise) that it's not ready for the desk top is a bit silly.
I find it funny you would call me out for not thinking after clearly not knowing what an Islamist is. By definition, an Islamist is an extremist Muslim.
All Day Permanent Red was a brilliant bit of work!
"Brainchild Athena, Holy Girl,
As one you made
As calm and cool as water in a well.
I know that you have cares enough
Other than those of me and mine.
Yet, Daughter of God, without your help
We cannot last."
Setting down her topaz saucer heaped with nectarine jelly
Emptying her blood-red mouth set in her ice-white face
Teenaged Athena jumped up and shrieked:
"Kill! Kill for me!
Better to die than to live without killing!"
Who says prayer does no good?
I think a line from my review of that book was used on the cover of the paperback version. I can't wait until Logue's next volume!
Not. true. This "Steve Jobs/Apple was forced by teh companies!!!!1!" line of bullshit on DRM really needs to be stomped.
Jobs himself has already stated that he never envisioned iTMS to be DRM-less, whether the RIAA demanded it or not.
Interesting also this past summer that Jobs warned movie studios not to license content for HD-DVD until hardware manufacturers assured the industry that the movies couldn't be copied with the soon to be inevitable HD-DVD burners. He even stated that HD-DVD burners shouldn't be bundled with computers until the 'piracy' issue was adequetely addressed.
Like it or not, Jobs and Apple are whores like the rest of them.
You can call me a grammer Nazi until Al Gore finally figures he will never be president but the fact remains you criticized Republicans for being stupid and then made a stupid mistake.
You would be well served by relying on more then a dictionary definition of the word "liberal." I have several historical texts I can loan you that would disabuse you of the notion that socialism and liberalism are compatible.

Yes, governments that murder their own citizens do tend to be "more powerful" at enforcing laws.

How many of those did George Lucas write?

293 000 units? I think I dumped that many quarters into the game during the early 80s.
True, the UI could be simplified even further, but we don't want to scare away the 93-year olds!

Bush is working on it. He's making sure that the Islamists don't force you do wear a beard and kill women for inane reasons. Have a good day.
Yeah, mod this as off topic, I don't mind.
Wow, how impressive. He's now less Marxist then he once was. Call the papers.
Slashdot will praise any authoritarian or socialist halfwit as long as they support free or open source software.
By almost every financial metric Yahoo! is actually doing better than Google. I wish I could be that kind of "has been."
That said, Google does what it does better.

I'm not a Republican and I have never voted for a Republican.

Yeah, it really is a "not wonder", eh?
Is the Mac owner a bachelor because he's gay?
My apologies, I am guilty of hasty posting.
