You asked about FPS but I have recently started using Punch Software's applications and like them. One interesting bonus is the ability to print out sections to make a cardboard house so while its not an FPS you could simulate one with some old actionfigures:) Seriously though its great software and comes with a 90 day no questions asked 100% refund policy. Now thats great! I often wonder how many people just use it then return it? Well its a keeper for me.
Baen has make a point of releasing its books free online.Their reasoning includes such as this "Losses any author suffers from piracy are almost certainly offset by the additional publicity which, in practice, any kind of free copies of a book usually engender. Whatever the moral difference, which certainly exists, the practical effect of online piracy is no different from that of any existing method by which readers may obtain books for free or at reduced cost: public libraries, friends borrowing and loaning each other books, used book stores, promotional copies, etc." and they note that "After all, Dave Weber's On Basilisk Station has been available for free as a "loss leader" for Baen's for-pay experiment "Webscriptions" for months now. And -- hey, whaddaya know? -- over that time it's become Baen's most popular backlist title in paper!"
No we are not we are talking about some kid or person of similar experience who doesnt't know and so I gave him/her some very practical advice. If you don't know don't do it on someone elses machine for starters and secondly go learn. Upgrading and repairing your PC release 8 is the last version I used in the classroom when I TAUGHT. This person didn't ask for tips and tricks they asked for the whole shabang, So grow up and quit rtaking things personally. Normally I wouldn't even bother replying as I make it a point to not argue with fools, you however seem to have simply misunderstood my post and have some modicum of hope.
If you honestly have to ask slashdot what to take with you, do your friend a favour and don't work on their machine. Then go buy a copy of "Upgrading and Repairing Your PC" version whatever it is now.
At the very least get your resume together. nsebban is right, plus it never hurts to have your ducks in a row. Also Mensababe should be noted as also being right, get a contract lawyer to go over the contract.
As for those who complain about italics for emphisis well her usage is spot on, and I despise MENSA so I have nothing to gain by pointing our she is right.
As the gentleman before me noted Halon is not a good thing to be around. It will displace any oxygen and thus if you tried to crawl out you could suffocate. If you are truely concerned about a fire hazard build yourself a nice copper lined concrete box (concrete board and copper sheathing can be found at any home center. neither is flamable at any temperature that a computer is going to ever get to (even if they themselves were on fire). The reason halon is used is not in any way to stop computers from catching other things on fire but rather to protect equipment that is in a burning facility.
Halon systems are being decommisioned worldwide.. try this link for example Halon Replacement
hey we all have a weakness mine is spelling and typing... does it bother you that much to see misspellings? Life must really suck for you then. Thought of seeking therapy?
On one hand you have a bunch of what appear to be looser kids who cant plan a decent hack. On the other hand you have at least one admin who doesnt seem to be much higher up the evolutionary chain. - "Big f00king deal","these wanks" and then publishing the chat logs... way to keep your cool and fix things.. instead you just dropped to their level guys.
As a personal note I was raised Baptist, Trained Catholic ( Jesuit schools) Ordained Anglican, been a boardmember on a few Methodist churches and commities. OK now that I have established some of where I am coming from :
First the above post is not flamebait. Second it is self-contradictory as he complains that a game such as this trivializes the Bible ( which I agree) and then says "The rest of the bible is unprovable". Thirdly There is the suggestion that Christianity has devolved ( vis his suggestion of the same for islam) I belive this to be true from his perspective but while chritianity had gone through many changes Christianity has not, rather it is the fullfillment of Judaism. as Jesus never claimed to be a Christian but did prove Himself to be ha Moshiach ( the Messiah, in greek the Christ). Finally Now the games/ gaming company itself. This company seems to be playing up on the heretical "Word-Faith" movement, who have brought us such memmorable tennants as the bible code, and belive it be it. As with any mythos there is a lot that can be explored, my issue with it is that quite honestly people are easily confused between myth/fantasy and reality/truth in story telling, and that it guises itself in a veil of truth while being false.
With that i think I will start my first log entry feel free to drop by my page here on slashdot later today or early tomarrow to see it and comment.
Just to point out Jesus's Disciples were most definately not a bunch of nerds. Rather, for the most part, they were manual labourers and of the lowest type -> like fishermen. The nerds of the day tended to reject Him.
I rarely post about moderation or use my Karma bonus but seeing as i will most liekly be modded down anyways for being flaimbat, offtopic or troll I will use it for good cause.
I have some great gundam games for my PSOne, Note I am only disapointed that it is going to be Windows only not in any way am i dissapointed with the game itself. And as a 20 Year Gundam fan I am of course also a romantic.. so yeah i do set myself up to be disappointed at things like this.
is the glass half full or half empty? The vessel is at 50% capacity
All I can say is I have been a UC Gundam fan for more than 20 years, and the thought of this becoming a reality make me drool. I persoanlly suggest reading the FAQ FIRST ( novel concept I know) I am of course disipointed that this will most likely be a Windows only game
"Q : Will a Linux, FreeBSD, or OS X version be released? A : The initial release will only support Microsoft® Windows®2000 SP2, Windows®XP HomeEdition, or Windows®XP Professional. Currently, there is no plan for other operating systems" Oh well it will give me something to do with my PC which for the most part spends its day serving media files locally (eg to the tv or one of my "other" computers (read Macs) and being a testbed for Various Ragnarok Online Clones.

See 99bottles understands it. I mean really gets it. Nothing forces the library to filter anything. You just dont get paid by the feds certain monies if you don't. Thers is no civil disobedience involved, no rights are being violated. You do not have a RIGHT to even use the internet on my dime. Do you have a right to free speech*? If you are a US citizen in the US** then you do, anywhere else well thats up to the govt and peoples where you are. Do you have a right to listen / access other people's free speech? Same kind of thing. If more people understood what the rights and resposibilities of a US citizen were then maybe we could stop the erosion of said rights.

I wish more people would agree with your belief. I had to argue long and hard but I managed to get our entire deployment free of cookies, java and ecma(j/s). Did it take more work on my part? Sure it did. But now the only issue I have is with CSS and I freaking E. I personally test first under safari, then mozilla and make teh rest of teh team test under IE so I dont have to test it myself. It never fails to amaze me just how broken IE's implememntation of HTML is. Whatever happened to if you dont understand it ignore it? dont try and do some half baked implementation that fouls everything else up.
Just run it headless on my Xserves at Idle I use less than 1% total CPU and thats while monitoring it. the gui only comes up when i log into it as a user ( via ARD or TB2)
I dont know what you were looking at but I was a waterjet engineer a decade ago and first off to cut something like Ti you cant use water.. instead you use cerium oxide which is sucked into the water stream stream. So now you are using the water to accellerate the cerium oxide rather than teh water itself to cut. Also when you add artifacts you cant maintain a clean stream for 17 inches, heck with out artifacts a 30cm stream is amazing (water at 30-75k psi has to be very clean or you will destroy the nozzels almost instantly) its because of the problems with laminar flow. When the water hits the diaphram of teh jewel its pressure is so high that it acts like a laser in that only the water moving perpendicular to the jewel surface can make it out so all the water is moving in exactly the same direction, this is called laminar flow and the idea was developed by Dr Bob Higgans decades ago (he was a steam engineer originally to give you and idea of how old he is). Long story but Flow is evil they did some nasty dirty things to Bob and he formed his own co Technicut (whome I worked for). Anyway back to laminar flow, you see teh edges of teh stream after leaving the nozzel will cause air turbulance and start to tumble disrupting the stream. Eventually turbulance invades the entire stream and it looses most of its cutting ability. Now concrete? well thats easy to cut with straight water because quite honestly it is pretty soft. Of and you cant inject cerium oxide in a number 1 jewel (.01 inches) you use at least a number 8 and preferably a number 10. Actually i guess you would ne mentioning a number 2 jewel which would be.02 but since the diameter of the stream is only 60% of the diameter of the jewel that would make it.012 still not enough to transport the cerium oxide.

Scary thing is anybody who had their eyes open saw the collapse coming, and the AC above me is entirely correct in a narrow aspect of the problem.
At the very least get your resume together.
