This is the coolest thing I've heard so far about the game:
Talking to John briefly about his overclocking comments made some things clear to us that many enthusiasts will need to be aware of. When he speaks of "new usage patterns" he is literally talking about transistors on some of new GPUs that are going to be used for the first time when you play DOOM 3 on your video card. So be aware that pushing your GPU MHz may get you different results in DOOM 3 than with other games.
Yeah, bring my card to it's knees JC!
Hey just realized while typing this that JC's initals are JC, it all makes sense...
Had some problems sending to hotmail for a few hours last week but that's about it. I guess it's just hotmails spam filters trying to adapt to a new email domain sending thousands of email to its customers.
If you're a fan and haven't played it, or just feel like taking a little trip back: >Go Underdogs [Using your web browser]You see a website offering tons of cool underrated games
>Examine Games You see a list of hundreds of IF games"
>Get HHGTG You download one of the best IF games ever
>Play game [using Frotz] You play for a while before feeling a presence behind you. The lights go out. You have been eaten by a grue.
and very poor product placement. I'm currently residing in Japan and I have to say that the X-Box section, or "shelf" would be more appropriate to describe it, is usually situated in the *very* back of the game section and pretty much left to its own (untidy, game cartridges piled, open boxes, etc). It's almost as if, since they have to have the section, they try to make it as innocuous as possible.
It's actually embarrassing to be seen in that row, especially being a foreigner.
Actually if you read the stories (the Gillian Anderson one is priceless!) on more than one occasion he managed to get the scammer to actually *pay* for a hotel room (he confirmed this by calling the hotel) for an "in person" transaction, and as a bonus he make them run around the airport and hotel expecting him to show up, which is pretty entertaining to imagine.:)
Also many of the scammers seem to be using internet cafes for email access so waisting their time conning conners cost them (a little) money.
I mean who the fuck gives their profession when ordering penis pills?
Other customers included the head of a credit-repair firm, a chiropractor, a veterinarian, a landscaper and several people from the military. Numerous women also were evidently among Amazing Internet's customers.
The link is from att research and it point to the home page of M. Stroustrup (http://www.research.att.com/~bs/). I think it's safe to assume this is not a hoax.
with over 2B people in China and India, don't you think they really understand that space exploration/colonization is a smart investment?
Now I'm not saying we'll be living on mars next year or something, but at the rate we 6B pple are already screwing up the earth, imagine the damage we can do at 12B people!
You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space er... I mean wall er... no dam
Or as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom put it:
"To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of a summary: people are a problem."
I'd be very interested to see how long Linux stays on those machines before some friend/neighbour/relative drops by and fdisks the system to install XP of which they just happen to have a copy?

Innovative? Come on, it's a pc with a big ugly X on top, for a company like MS, that was taking the easy way out.

Growing pains are to be expected.

Hmm, wonder why the phrase "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts" suddenly popped into my head...
Ah there's my hat! Good ol' foil.
