from last i heard (royal shakespeare company interview i believe), they would have sounded like irish pirates or some such... i heard a couple of the company doing a dialogue like that, and it was really strange...
umm... you both have accents, sorry to say;) you can consider his proper and yours not, but i don't think that's really entirely correct either... old english from the long long ago didn't sound anything like modern british english does today either, so really i'd say there's not much luck with that arguement.
the unreal engine isnt just graphics though, its also audio AI etc etc and support i believe (though i can always be wrong)... I thought it was closer to 400k though, but who knows;)
I have a friend that's had the pleasure of working at a CVS and had to deal with crap like panhandlers refusing to leave the store... actually inside the store aggressively asking customers for money... then making death threats when removed...
lots of other examples, that was probably one of the worst though...
I have done IT support for 2 years and havent liked it either (straight up help desk, supporting ~600 computers, the network, imaging, ferrying equipment where its needed etc etc) and looking back the job wasnt too bad, but while i was really good at fixing the weird problems, all the paper filing and standard annoyance still have an effect... and you never leave work, they can call you back whenever, and at home you're trying to figure out what was left over from last night...
you seem to be making the mistake of thinking the EU can do without MS... no more MS there would cause a ton of problems for anyone having to deal with computers, not just MS...
developing our own apps is nice and all, but someone has to pay for dev, and the companies over there need to keep being able to do business as normal the entire time...
its like the content creators and broadcasters, they fight over anything and it escalates, everyone loses... your comment suggests that (ie) the satelite companies should just create their own programs (which would take months) and stay off air while losing millions... not to mention they don't own the proper equipment etc and would have to buy it, whereas before they didnt need all that extra overhead (compare that to replacing stuff that was getting the job done to paying to have someone else redo the same work, and transitioning from one system to another etc)
in fact, last black friday at best buy, 2.4ghz celeron laptops were only 500$ (14" 20gb 256mb ram CDRW... not killer, but a good deal...) for 700$ you can get about the same thing from dell any day...
easiest way: find a home stereo with an aux input, plug in a mic, plug the red speaker wires into the black ports, and the black wires into the red ones...
at least it seems that way (though its been 6 years since i read this)... the book as i remember wasn't an action movie... it felt more like a courtroom deal. and i believe the whole thing turned out to be that the robot was on a ship full of robots, and ordered to shoot at another ship (which it assumed, liked its own ship, was just full of robots and nothing else)... of course this ended up in murder and the breaking of the 1st law etc etc...
The movie seems to have turned that into a swarm/infestation thing somehow...
anyways, hoping my memory serves correctly, this does seem like a complete bastardization of the actual book;)
I too, love canon's 8xx and 9xx line;) They really are the only thing i'd consider buying (for my needs, home use) right now...
Epson wants some insane amount for their wide format printer ink (they use 4-7 carts, each at around 80-90$ from epson) that's available at places like lasermonks for $15... They're just as bad as lexmark, only their throwaway printers aren't as cheap:)
i've had about 20 procs (amd/intel, one cyrix 333, one via 1.3ghz), and none of them have died on me... i even got a working 8086 kaypro 16 sitting around... in fact the only computer parts that have given me trouble are power supplies (when i put too much crap on two low a wattage) and ram (i've had a fair number of bad sticks)...
all cpus use stock cooling solutions and are not OC'd.
i wouldn't call halo's story excellent in any way...
cutscene, blow stuff up, unimportant cutscene, can i blow something else up now?...at least i know for me personally, it wasn't good enough for me to give a crap about the what the story was... I just wanted to get back to blasting things...
Halo is purely linear gameplay, so the story is fairly unimportant, because you really have no say beyond, do what i want or quit playing... as far as story goes, i'd have to say planescape: torment is still the best and my personal favorite hands down...
you could always outsource the engine work... unless you think thats culturally biased too;)
if you're into overdone deisgn docs, you could probably outsource the non-core design team, though I'd question moving the writing of dialog for a completely different country etc;)
i have first run version of the phillips expanium (first gen mp3/CD player) that was one of the first to do 320kbp/s and good skip protectiong (45s audio, 150 mp3)... it gets 10 hours every time, and 200 songs per CD is really enough for me... at the time i bought it, its tech support and information was handled by their computer monitor section, which i thought was really odd...
Anyways, about 5-6 years later its still working fine, well worth the $100 it cost (now you can get AM/FM/CD/MP3 players for $17 heh)...
I know some of the peoplesoft employees, and when oracle first started this, ellison said something along the lines of "i don't care about their product, i'll fire everyone, i just want their customer list"... it made the front of the washington times business section the day after...
Even though this is getting way off topic, I live within 20 miles of DC and have the pleasure (or whatever you'd call it) of being able to see Coulter on TV almost weekly (between meet the press, various c-span shows etc), and from all personal accounts she does reek of all out zealotry... I checked a couple pages of one of her books out of curiosity and there was quite a bit of flawed logic throughout what I read. I also believe she said something along the lines of "kill all the arabs in the world" after sept. 11, which would help prove how reasonable she can be...
I'm by no means a liberal in any way, but I can't honestly believe anything she says, even though some of it probably has at least a tiny grain of truth...
right, exactly, i'm so glad you brought me to the light oh glorious AC...
I was saying if someone is gonna ask for your help and you're money, well... that just doesn't seem quite right...
hey bob, fix this computer for me, and while you're at it, give me $20...
come on:P can't be that dim. a $1 CD to every beta tester probably isnt even close to there bandwidth charges, and considering the air force (i believe, could be another branch) is contracting them now for their platform for millions upon millions, i doubt it'll matter too much in the long run. but thanks anyways...
way to name names in the article.. quick google search on them and you only get about 40000 worthwhile virus writing sites.... well, at least as worth while as they could possibly be i suppose.
guess they were just dying for the publicity... I did find it funny how those guys were so hep to VB, i mean, i know its like totally sweet and stuff, but jeez, you'd think one of them had just like totally flipped out and killed somebody, for no reason, just because...
I'll say a couple things about it... First, the company really has it together, I received the lastest version of the beta on CD mailed to my door with no questions asked every three weeks or so, with a couple spare accounts to give to friends to try... Of the other MMO games (AC,AC2, horizons, SWG) I've beta'd, I had to download over 500mb+ to start, and Sony would send you a beta CD, provided you paid them $12 to do so...
Second, there is more like a giantic chat room with lots of activities etc etc... its not really like the old "lemme kill 80000 rabbits so i can use the screwdriver to kill 80000 "mildy greater rabbits, but not by that much"... its really much more of an opened ended social atmosphere more towards the sims then hack and slashes...
and there's plenty of premade stuff in there;) and it does avoid a lot of the pitfalls you mention (but if you like killing stuff and killing foozles, then that'd be its pitfall)...
either way, it was pretty smart of them to create their own space instead of trying everquest #42, which i doubt they would have ever made... sorry if i sound like an apologist, but your post struck me as lacking background in what exactly is in There, which is actually pretty common;)
this is a me too on the power supply causing MANY headaches, and a lot of techs tend to miss it cause its not really expected (as long as the machine boots)...
and ram tends to suck in general, lots and lots of bad sticks... i've had the best luck with kingston and crucial as far as fail rates...
these are definately the two most common hardwire problems i've run into, with the 3rd being hard drive problems (magnets, people dropping them etc).

hate to tell you, but anthrax is used for lots of research besides just killing people, and more than a couple labs make it...
easiest way: find a home stereo with an aux input, plug in a mic, plug the red speaker wires into the black ports, and the black wires into the red ones...
;) no need to build your own amp.

12-Cell battery with Subwoofer for incredible sound..

I love the killer sound of that there 12-cell
My friend was able to get his textbooks for a LOT less by buying them through websites based out of the UK...
;)
For example, my linear algebra book is 110$ from amazon.com, but only 88$ from amazon.co.uk...
pretty funny
