Wouldn't it be better to have a standard gaming OS you could install and upgrade the same way you'd install DirectX? So that when you run it from your regular OS, the regular OS stuff gets saved in a file on the HDD and the Game OS kicks in. Microsoft would never let something like this happen if it doesn't control it though.
I have eMule files that i've started downloading months ago and are not finished yet.
The biggest advantage Kazaa has over eMule is that if i want an MP3 i get it in around 5-10 minutes. It may be full of crap, but at these speeds i can afford to set up five or six downloads and pick the good one when they're done.
I also have soulseek which is good for downloading full albums and such with the download containing dir thing. But soulseek is pretty small and has that whole getting one file from one source thing.
I don't see the logic of giving the example of an error with WinXP to demonstrate that "This wouldn't be the first time that has happened.." after talking about an error with Win95.
That NubKnacker fellow must have some different perception of the concept of time than i do. =o
I wanted to do something like this (I'm only assuming because i didn't see the actual video or images) in highschool as a final project in computers. Only got as far as getting finger movement because my partner who did the hardware mostly sat on this ass the whole year, but we had some ideas for the movement in space.
By the way you discribe it, it sounds rather limiting, not giving you the full 6 degrees of freedom and such. Wouldn't it be much more comfortable if they used IR/Ultra sonic transmitters or inertial gyros?
No one seems to be mentioning 3D modelling. Imagine what Blizzard or id could do to their lobbies with a few statues of Klesk, the Demon Hunter and the like. And just for people who are better with 3DS Max than with a chissle.
You are assuming that being agnostic or atheist means you're not interested in religion. I for example, though i can't think of a definition of a god that could exist, am very much interested in religion, i've been reading up on sumerian, egyptian, vodun religions, as well as christianity, gnostic christianity, judaism (Living in Israel it's a little hard to aviod) and a little Islam to name a few. Most of the people i know, though devout atheists, could probably name the basic outlines of at least three religions.
As for Sci-Fi, you must be reading the wrong books buddy. I suggest you try Snow Crash or the Dune series, or The Sparrow or some of Phillip K. Dick's books.
The problem with religion today as i see it, putting the logical arguments aside is that it's dead. Back in the day you had all these laws that made sense because if you ate a certain thing prepared a certain way you won't get food poisoning, and collecting wood and building a fire wasted a lot of time on a day you should have been resting. Now alot of it is just worhsipping some old books and some long dead people, as well as some live ones, and it's tradition. Some even use loopholes like setting a timer instead of pushing a button, or putting a string around a city so that it's technically your house. At a point when you're trying to outsmart your god, maybe you should reconcider your fait.
In the beginning Linus created the source and the code. And the source was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the screen. And the Spirit of Linus moved upon the face of the keyboard. And Linus said, Let there be prompt:and there was prompt. And Linus saw the Prompt, that it was good:and Linus divided the Prompt from the GUI....
Not that Doom 3 needs any more reasons to buy it that much. But how about offering an Armadillo qualifying flight to a random person who bought the game?

Technically, isn't Win 3.11 just a GUI, while MS-DOS is the actual OS?
If .us is for the US, shouldn't all those .gov and .mil and .edu domains be under .us?
It's not like Whitehouse.gov is the seat of the global government.. or is it?

Pah, that's easily circumventable by wrapping a wet towel around your head and shoving a grabber-thingy up your nose.
I don't know, 8! years sounds like quite a while...
A friend of mine sent me a picture of an EA-canada billboard along the same lines, though much much simpler.
It was white on black text:
char msg []={78,111,119,32,72,105,114,105,110,103,0};
Heh, reminds me of that quote from Bash.Org
... That was one of the most worthless comments I've ever heard.
There was a 23% drop in temperature.
That's almost 25%!
Heh, funny, and all that time i was thinking what they were spreading were viruses.
Or, the other variation:
*) japanese for dummies book... $12
*) japanese dictionary... $10
*) laptop.... $2500
*) slacwkare 10... $0
*) gigabit interface... $100
*) plane-ticket... $250
*) finding out you're 6 years early... Priceless
Wouldn't a closer analogy be the poeple paying with a bunch of stuff they have around the house that they don't need at the price they got it at?

That reminds me of another epic poem penned circa A.D. 2101, apperantly about a war which was beginning... =o

Damn those cheaters using aimbots to snipe the king from across the board!
They kept the Pentium name because of mindshare and trademark issues, it's easier to have one name people would remember and just add numbers to it.
What i'm wondering is will they named the Pentium-5 Pentium^2 ?

If US soldiers use this they could be called any FPS derogative available.
Camping with rail-guns.
Aim-botting with guidance systems.
And now wallhacking.
Now they need to take this one step further and work on no-clipping, god-mode and infinite ammo...
There's the joke that goes:
"Windows has detected you have moved your mouse, would you like to restart for the changes to take place?"
Not that Doom 3 needs any more reasons to buy it that much.

Do you really need thos icons at all ?
I just use Esc, F5, Backspace or the back mouse button and get rid of the buttons alltogether.
