Actually, I'd say everyone does buy on *really good* netcode. That's cos if it had *real sucky* netcode, they'd read about it and decide not to buy the game;)
Sure, gameplay is important, but without the mechanics to make it enjoyable, it's just frustrating, not gameplay.
So what? In this case, armed thugs are just a cruder version of lawyers. Both can have cruel effects on your life. And the result they get is the same too.
Many people make that mistake, saying that fat is bad. In normal quantaties, it's not!
Remeber your skin is just another organ. It needs those subcutanious fatreserves, if only to regulate temperature and who knows what else (nopt much research at all has gone into the skin as an organ).
A bit of fat is good...too much is bad (as in everything else in life).
's only a side ffect: You need to lose fat, which you do by folowing a diet (eat less fat, colories, whatever). Exercising only gives you that toned look, but exercising alone won't, as you still have those layers of fat over you newly acquired muscles.
As to actual 'burning power' of muscles on their own: only works if you move 'em. A muscle at rest burns near to the same amount of nothing as fat at rest:)
One good tip to losing weight is this: fidget. Remember that irritating person next to you on the train who was twitching his leg up and down? Well, those nervous ticks burn a hell of a lot. Plus they get your cardiovasculor system up 'n running.
For all the power it may hold, Google still strikes me as a 'mom&pop' organisation (albeit a rather large one) instead of a powerhungry monopolist (or in this case, oligarchist).
As the article states, they're popular by virtue of being good at what they do: no hassles, good results. And they add extra services which make sence: images, news, all building on their strenghts as data miners.
I just hope they never go public; that would entail some kind of 'responsibility to the stockholder' (unless they somehow get to dictate their own charter)...other words for 'we have to make profit even at the cost of making a shitty service which you have to pay for'.
But asd it stands they're a shiuning example of business done right.
Freeloader. That's what spam accounts on hormail are for. And truth to tell, I don't think the NYT has sold my info on; I used a pretty unique username, and I haven't seen any spam on that name yet. Plus I've been using that account for a year, maybe two, and no "mysterious deletions" here.
And even then; what part of your privacy is invaded? 'bout the same as when you sign up for a mobile phone...it's the same price you pay for many other services. But the main difference is that this one is free.
"NVidia is into a head 2 head fight with ATI (ATI is probably going to come out as the winner)"
Strange statement to make. True, at the moment ATI is in the lead, but keep in mind that nVidia has now changed over to 13(?) micrometer technology. This is what caused all the delays with the FX. But ATI has yet to make that switch, with all the problems that entails.
I bet you that the next round will see nVidia pulling ahead while ATI has problems with it's production on the smaller wavelenght technology.
A 3d GUI makes absolutely no sense right now with the screens and input devices we have. Until we have wraparound screens (either really big ones or the size of sunglasses) and a way of getting our hand movements on screen, a 3d GUI is just a layer of 'irritating to get through'.
If you count manufacturors of actual devices, Symbian has already won hands down.
If, however, you want to develop for a platform which/should/ have won this, but hasn't due to lack of insight, you should develop for PalmOS (or even linux).
Man, I'm still pissed that they didn't come out with a IIIc with an integrated GSM. That's all I'm looking for...to read books, lookup my agenda and phone home. And screw Treo for their clamshell and lack of virtual graffitti and expansion slot.
"Any evidence along these lines is sparse, and it is doubtful that it will ever be proven one way or the other."
Actually, there is documented evidence that dear old Jeb did 'bend the laws' to help his bro: he unjustifiably put some 56.000 people on a list saying these people where blacklisted from voting. It just happens that there was no reason for these people to have their voting priveliges revoked, and that these people would have voted for Gore. It's not been widely reported on, but it has made the news in various publications; I'd call that evidence.
Or do it in an 'Ask/.' fashion, just like was done with Jane's Monthly' on CyberTerrorism: put up an ask/. asking which electronic rights and liberties (just to keep it on topic...this is a mostly tech orientated crowd) we need, are missing and are being breached, then cull from +3, print it out and send that to all the congresspeople as a 'free technical assesment on the state of technology in the USA'.
This gives us a place to vent, it gives Rob something to do and the congresspeople something to read from a source which should have an informed opinion.
You forget a couple: mainly the fact that no-one was given the document before they voted on it. Yup, you read that right: the bill was signed intop law without being read! No due debate/process/diligence whatsoever.
Another cute thing is that many of the clauses don't have a sunset clause...those parts are there to stay. And that concerns all of the surveilance aspects, including internet surveilance. It's not for nothing that I've been calling the US a police state ever since that thing got singed into law.
Actually, Field Programmable Array's have the potential, combined with evolutionary programming, to be very powerfull. They've already booked some damn surprising and usable results.
The only problem being that they sometimes come up with solutions which are unreplicable, due to the fact that they've solved the problem using the unique imperfections in the fpga itself.
Not to mention the gaming community. Apparently Epic (of Unreal fame) can't wait to put their content tools on 64 bit computing. They've even 'promised' to have a 64bit version of UT2k3 out the day the x86-64 ships.
Yes, correct. But the only reason software is a contract is because we have let it become that. It's still rediculous: it's like the phones of old (at least in parts of europe) which you rented/leased instead of bought. Personally I want it spelled out to me: do I buy this or do I lease it. And for me, if I go to a store and buy something, without having to sign a piece of paper which I'd read very carefully, I have bought something. No matter what some clickthru EULA says.
Of course, Licence 6.0 is nothing like that. But even so, I'd say that this is a perfect example of MS leveraging their monopoly position for vendor lock-in. due to the fact that it is unfeasable for many companies already running MS to switch to anything else [yeah, it's possible, but only with clear changeover protocols and policies...which these companies might not have]. This can have multiple reasons, from financial (retraining) to time factors (retraining;) ) and many others. But the end result is that MS gains a lot of extra money for no effort, due to restrictive and amoral licencing which many companies jhust can't get out of.
No. Becasue the acreage wouldn't be that great...especially because you can also place thes4e things at sea. Not only that, but the property where these things would be build are outside of cities, where the land prices are dirt cheap/owned by the government anyways.
But isn't that exactly where WinCE fails? You talk of booting and stopping apps before shutting down, and shutting down in and of itself. Those things have no place on a PDA, and neither does a startbar!
That is why I go with PalmOS: a PDA demands different paradigms than a desktop. I need my info with the least amount of actions: after counting, I never have to 'click' (or push etc) more than 4 times to do get anywhere on my IIIc, and most of the time I just have to push one button to get what I need...that's (for me) the mayor reason why WinCE sucks.

Could you elaborate on this for a non-MMORPG-er? Maybe a short explanantion or a link? Thanks!

Then again, you might just fill in the form in a way which makes you more desirable for the beta :)

True...but the mere fact that it's being considered should be enough warning that your government has gone nuts. Just like TIPS. And TIA.

Heh...if I recall correctly, the Patriot act was passed (near?) unanimously.
Me thinks the terorists should have hit Congress instead of the WTC...that way they would have done some good.
