... Just think about having something like that inbedded in my skull conjures up images of tumers growing at the base of my skull, spreading...
cell phones are known to cause them, what would inbedded wireless tech do...?
Seeing as how doom3 requires such a high end machine to run... I wander how it scales in comparison to a windows machine, as in performance, same specs required? hm...
This is probably the first real reason I have to move debian over to my gaming rig, I havnt beat doom3 yet and utk4/nwn just didnt feel me right.
mmmmmmm
"by altering the default run level in/etc/inittab (which is well commented)"
a computer novice who moderatly knows their way around a pc could install fedorah and have it boot into X, where they would feel comfortable w/ kde/gnome. They would not be comfortable finding a file and editing it in vi or joe, regardless of how well commented it is.
For non computer people, it is a little hard to install slack compared to, say, fedorah
you forget the actual percentage of xbox owners who mod their system.
its very vfery small. those who run linux? even smaller. making it "modable" just makse a small percentage of xbox owners happy, and thats it
If you had ever played any of the previous madden games, you would know that every title has "glitches" like this.
Its not uncommonat all, "Dime Double Slot" anyone?
Competition is good, (nfl2k was far better then the madden of thesame time) but madden has always been easy to pick up and consistant, I dont see this as a suprise at all, there has always been cheap tactics, and this is just another.
its not that it works for everyone else, but not oneself, its that if you make a better product, the masses whom you are not directly competing with profit, as wellas yourself. As long as you are not in direct competion with the majority of the masses, when you make a better product and profit, so does those whom you are not competing with.
i dont know about you guys but i dont think i would use those apps... if you dont have access to excel/mspaint, i would always rather have a flashdrive with them or variations on there rather then relying on third party web page being online to get something halfway useful done...
I believe SW: Jedi Academy was still 45 dollars at walmart a year and a half after it cameout. That actually pissed me off cause i was waiting on it to drop to buy it:p
i'm 20, an avid FPS gamer, and I dont have 55 bucks. College does that to you.
My comp will run the game decently. Im going to get the game, not going to dl, probably borrow from friend in a few weeks sadly enough. When it gets cheaper ill buy it go play it online:)
um...
they dont have the option to install anything ont he computer they are playing on, at cpl everything is supplied for you.
To cheat, they woudl have to pay off a bunch of judges basically to do it for them
I personally use LiteStep.
On XP platform, ive had litestep running for ~2 years now (with others before/since) but I just tend to come back to it for its functionality and lack of bloat. Something about opensource projects that are far superious that I enjoy...:)
in my opinion, sony is just as bad, but probably worse than microsoft.
Just think about it, 2 out of every 3 playstation2s that shipped came broken. Why? they are a POS. Inferior hardware made out of the cheapest pieces sony could through together and still be semi-competive with. At least Microsoft put out quality hardware.
If Sony had a stronger foothold in the PC world you would hate them with a passion as I do:p
I picked up a dreamcast, and i garantee i play it more than i would a ps2 if i had one:P
I bought it for 20 bucks with 3 games, 4 controllers(including guns) and memory card.
www.dcemulation.com
I have an nes still, yse, but isnt it just that much better to turn on dreamcast and have entire nes game library on ONE disk, with all the perks associated with a pc emulator?
Cant beat that, and the first party games are also good, hold their own with most ps2 games graphically.
I agree, to a point. The gamegear is not as portable as a game boy of that era.
Better system? undoubtabl.
better for taking to class? Not on your life. I had a gameboy, and a game gear way back in high school. What did i carry around? The gameboy. Its much smaller now than then, and back lit. Gamegear? If i aws on a 10 hour car trip i took that. Better games for the game boy? not really at the time in my opinion.
My point? Its not always the best hard ware, or the best software for a niche product like this will be, its oft times convenience that leads to purchase. "If your going to buy one anyway... why not just get the extra feature for 20 more bucks..." type of thing.
no offense, but i consider this responce to be inflamitory and that of way over zealous, a classic, "but dear god what about the children!" but to another, more annoying level. Do I find what he did wrong? Yes. Extremly. Am I defending hm? Hell no. What do i disagree with you? Questiong the sentance. Does he deserve 3 years? Yes. Do I worry about the precedent set, and how it will affect future cases? Hell yea.
Look at the big picture, not just the little window you usually stare through. Your one of those people who bother me to where I cant talk to in real life. Would you be a bush supporter by any chance?
You want realism, and you watched the Hulk? Someones on the pipe if thehy do... haha, theoretically, Hulk can bench press an aircraft carrior if he found a way to hold it where it wouldnt shatter around him in a million pieces. How do you translate somethiing like that to a movie, live action movie, and not lose "believeability?" Douche.
As for X-Men II, She didnt deflect a beam of light, she deflected a concussive beam, which is powered by solar power. Also, your right when you say she shoudlnt have the power to do this, but she did because it was a manifestation of the "Phoenix Force" inside her. This foce will in the next movie manifest itself, take control of her, and turn her into a goddess bent on eating the universe basically. Its going to own.:D
As for spiderman...? That movie was just cool:D (I liked spawn to, McFarline PWNS)

if you would rtfa, you would know it was mainly among newly entering college grads, nowhere did they mention raises.

you can burn the mini-dvds now, its just more complicated then the average smo will care to learn(by a factore of n)
It will if by chaos itself you define order, and in all honesty, is there any greater order than that?
