right, this is what my doctor said. If you get some disease for which stem cells/cord blood is the solution, they aren't going to want your cord blood because YOU HAVE CANCER! You'll go to a bank for someone else's cord blood.
We offered to bank, but most hospitals dont collect cord blood for banks.
please stop comparing this to Gears. The difference on gears is that they were the publisher of that game and thus having funded it, they own it and can make all the decisions about what content to release when and at what price.
as for GH, this is activision's call. blame them if you want to blame anyone.
his poiunt is that if you have a GC and a Xbox then you are likely to games for the x-box, not the GC. Only 10% of the people in the room ONLY had a GC and thus would buy all games for the GC.
"the way valve treated its customers"???? How did they screw you? They took their time making a great game. then they released it. if you wanted to play it then you paid and you can play it. Are you claiming lost fun during the years it was in development?
BTW, there is NO game developer in the WORLD that gives so much back to their customers like Valve. I bought half life and as a bonus, I got deathmatch, Counterstrike, DoD and a huge number of netcode improvements and upgrades over a 6 year period. No other developer does that. I know, I'm one too.
LOL! That is some funny shit.
They sell something like 1 million ps2's a month. Hardware sales just spiked up big time since they just cut the price to $149.
its nice that you make the government out to be the bad guys here, but I'm a game developer and I'd really like to stay in business thank you. With piracy so rampant, game developers NEVER see royalties and its harder and harder to scrape togeother enough cash to make a good game nowadays.
Its up to you. Buy games and support the govenment in actions like this and have a healthy game biz, or pirate away and watch all the best developers go under.
Ummm, hardly. Keep in mind that Brian and Matt were 2 of the creators of the original BT.
So, I would say that they decide what is or what is not Bards tale.
I'm a game producer that has worked on online games, I will say that this is a very good thing. You don't know the trouble that we go through to make sure that people do not cheat in an online game and you know what, they figure out a way around it anyway. This is the first time that we have hardware level control over the game.exe's integrity. With MS's code sign system the game.exe is not hackable and this is a good thing for all of us. Hacking RUINS online games and if this is what they have to do to stop it then ok.
NOT TRUE. The reason for poor night vision with lasik is because your pupil opens larger then the zone that was lasered. However if you are looking at a monitor, your pupil is not open very much. My vision post-lasik is perfect when looking at a monitor.
In fact, a monitor is close enough that even if you have 20/40 post surgery, you will see the monitor perfectly.
This is a VERY rare situation. My doctor did about 5000 surgeries and has had no patients with poor results (blindness/death/loss of piano skills)
Care to share the REASON for the blindness? Infection? Flap problem?
Very not true.
It's amazine how little FACT there is on/. sometimes.
Lasik uses a laser to correct the shape of your cornea. However they can not reshape your whole cornia, just the front partthat you look through. This is usually about 6mm in diameter. However, in the dark your pupil opens up and can open wider then the zone that was corrected. In this case you will see a halo around a light at night. This is common, however they have gotten better at measuring the size of your pupil and correcting a larger zone.
The larger the zone, the deeper they need to cut to get a correct shape. So, if you have a bad perscription and thick corneas, then the can correct you with a big optic zone and you should have good night vision.
I had bad vision (-6.75) and the next day I was 20/20.
I'm only sorry I did not do it earlier.
It does that too.
You just press the DSC button on the dash and firmly press the gas pedal. Instant BURNOUT.
In fact the M3's gas pedal is velocity sensitive, so slamming down the gas actually puts the computer into a performance mode which allows the engine to rev up before it drops the clutch allowing for a serious tire screaming burnout.
I know, I've done it.
Nope. Its pretty much commonly known that MS is still losing money on each console.
Unlike PS2 and GC, the X-box has 2 extra pieces of hardware. The HD and the LAN adapter.
And they have not sold enough hardware yet.
Electronic Warfare Intercept Strategic Signal Processing/Storage Systems Specialist huh? I find that hard to beleive since you think that a cell phone transmits at 5 watts. Try.6 watt max and more like.2 watts in digital mode.
I guess they forgot to teach you that in spy school. Or is that HIGH school.

errrr, no. Not true at all. Piracy is a huge problem for consoles also.

wow, that is some school! My friends are teachers in LA and they don't have paper for the copy machine much less computers.
no. That is the TOS for X-box live. So those are the terms that you agree to when you sign onto x-box live.
On the internet: http://www.xbox.com/LIVE/connect/legal-coc.htm
its called the terms of service and I'm sure you agreed to it when you signed up.

well, someone with a modded x-box is likely a pirate so they don't really mind pissing them off now do they?

Not at all. The SMG is much smoother then a normal 6 speed manual. Even in stop and go traffic.
Sticker is $46,000 With SMG, NAV and a few other options and tax mine was $60,000 USD.
actually MS begged the publishers not to make ports and for the most part they didn't.
Nope. Its pretty much commonly known that MS is still losing money on each console. Unlike PS2 and GC, the X-box has 2 extra pieces of hardware. The HD and the LAN adapter. And they have not sold enough hardware yet.
