players could get a first-person perspective experience of what it was like to rescue Army Pvt. Jessica Lynch
So you're saying I could do everything including silencing key witnesses, faking injuries, inviting Fox News along for the ride, and paying off a military officer to take part in a massive madia fueled fabrication?
This game punishes your sense of self-worth more than any game I have ever experienced. It bites you off, chews you up and spits you out. You leave a session feeling like you're not good enough to do anything.
"..judging from the sales of these.. titles, enough of you guys just aren't punishing the companies for releasing sub-par products to make a difference"
Yeah, damn us for not identifying bugs with clairvoyance!
I understand a thing or two about the English language. I'm from America, so my English is going to be slightly different from someone speaking it across the pond.
The text of the headline reads, "Toshiba Introduces A 17"-Screen Laptop." In this, "Toshiba" is assumed to be singular thanks to the verb usage of "Introduces."
In the first sentence of the article text, "Toshiba have announced...," we see that Toshiba is now plural.
I understand that usage may be different from one country to another, but I'd really like to know. If you learned the King's English as opposed to American English, please reply and tell me which one is actually correct for you. I'm dying to know.
Heh, I'll only consider giving RPI money when my debt to the government is paid off. Even then, money to the school will be donated very conditionally:)
I'd love to see some of the blatant physics mistakes fixed from GT3. Two examples:
1) The axis restriction. No car can rotate more than 90 degrees in any direction from normal on any axis. It's to prevent the car from ending up upside down, something that wouldn't fly in GT, as there's no "abort" button a la "RUSH."
2) The wheelie 700 Mph trick. It's fun, and it's cool to do, but it's probably indicative of a larger shortcut in the physics engine.
Either way, I'm already drooling for GT4. Online play is enough to make me want it, but man, I really wanted hard drive features. Importing my own music is something I've wanted to to with GT4. Oh well, there's always 5...
You're talking about arcade games. The GT series is a simulation series. Very very different.
One of the big plusses with GT is the amount of customization you can perform on the cars. I can see why some people wouldn't be as interested, it's not for everyone. For those of us that live for the details, it's a dream come true.
Apple never promised the feature that was taken out of iTunes 4.0. It was made clear in the license agreement as to what would be possible. The feature was an oversight, a bug, that was corrected in 4.1. Apple had to pull it because it wasn't supposed to be there in the first place.
Oh please, dear God, please remember the name John Deep and rue it until the day you die. The name John Deep should be to geeks as kryptonite is to Superman.
I also had the misfortune of working for John Deep. He is a manipulative criminal. He started Aimster/Madster/Intranaut/BuddyUSA by exploiting the hopes of college students at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. He promised big money and didn't deliver, but worst of all, he delivered little by little while tricking you into handing whatever you had over to him.
The man manipulates everyone, including his own daughter, who he whores out to sell his wares. Her name isn't even Aimee. I've met her.
This is not a bad businessman or a lousy person. This man embodies evil on this planet. This man needs to be killed in public.
A. In 1983, the Postal Service began using an expanded ZIP Code called "ZIP+4." A ZIP+4 Code consists of the original 5-digit ZIP Code plus a 4-digit add-on code. The 4-digit add-on number identifies a geographic segment within the 5-digit delivery area, such as a city block, office building, individual high-volume receiver of mail, or any other unit that would aid efficient mail sorting and delivery. Use of the 4-digit add-on is not mandatory, but it helps the Postal Service direct mail more efficiently and accurately because it reduces handling and significantly decreases the potential for human error and possibility of misdelivery. It also will lead to better control over USPS costs and, in turn, postage rate stability. ZIP+4 is intended for use primarily by business mailers who prepare their mail with typewritten, machine-printed, or computerized addressing formats that can be read by the Postal Service's automated scanners during processing. Mailers who qualify receive a rate discount on First-Class, non-presorted, ZIP+4 mailings of at least 250 pieces and on presorted ZIP+4 mailings of at least 500 pieces. There are also ZIP+4 discounts for bulk business mail.
Read the privacy policy. It's been around since TiVo was founded, and nothing in that time has changed.
TiVo has been selling your demographic data for years. Superbowl advertisers bought information from TiVo to see which Brittney Spears commercial got the most replay and in which kinds of households.
This has absolutely nothing to do with an infrigement of rights, as it all strictly adheres to an agreement between customer and provider made fully clear at the time of purchase.
To offset the costs of building and maintaining a complicated system that provides an excellent service to consumers they sell information on their demographics. Anyone wanna tell me how that makes them evil all of a sudden?
to create a super computing system to display 'up to six dimensions'
So lets see, that's length, breadth, depth, time, hyperspace and, oh hell, what's that last one again?
At any rate, should be cool. Now all they'll need is someone with a brain that can simultaneously comprehend them.

"which means ATI will be yanking all their open source and Linux support within the next 60 days."
NVidia still supports Linux, despite their involvement with XBox. I realize their drivers are closed.

Jeez, forget Doom. Where do I sign up?
allow you to "play the news" with a CNN-style filmed introduction to each real-life themed game level
I hope not. There are plenty of fictional video games out there already. I'd like one like this to be somewhat based in reality.
It doesn't even follow basic logic. NVidia's support for Linux and FreeBSD hasn't wavered because of it's involvement in the XBox.
Not insightful.
mechanism, shurely?
Surely, surely?
This game punishes your sense of self-worth more than any game I have ever experienced. It bites you off, chews you up and spits you out. You leave a session feeling like you're not good enough to do anything.
Then you play it again. What the hell is that!?!

Great. Now all you have to do is hire someone to enter programming information once a day specific to your provider.
and apparently because "Plain Old Text" means "Strip out special characters"...

Does it run lunix?
I don't know what lunix is, but it does run Linux.

Holy crap, I'm really glad I graduated from RPI in 2002 before the RIAA decided to sue the entire student body.
Seriously though, I'm gonna have to start donating money to support student lawsuits rather than to build new dorms if this keeps up.
