Damn man, if blood doesn't increase the size of your penis, then what on earth does? Unless you've got some form of winch and rack system going on, in which case I'd rather not know, though it sounds like a nice hack.
To be honest, I think I've yet to meet any form of Play-doh that doesn't magically transform to green after a couple of hours. So I guess that taste could basically be the result of a buffet.
To be honest, I think that you are right, I was merely commenting about the potential of the two games rather than the graphical engine. ID's engines have always been optimised for the graphical front, and so (as has been stated earlier) will be tended to be taken up by the publishing houses simply because the general populace love frilly bits. However I do feel Valves graphical engine/AI/Physics offers the greater potential for pure gaming/ emotion at the moment. Valves decision to incorporate the Havok enbgine, to me, seems to be a winning card.
Anyone else feel ID got a little scared when they saw the Half Life II trailer? Much like the 3D Realms guys see their technology be eclipsed every six months?
I cannot express the feelings I felt when I first saw this game, except that pervailing knowledge that my life will become less meaningful than usual come September.
That K1 kid just gave up too easily, I'm pretty sure the usual arguments ran until the expected final twist of the sword,
"Oh yeah, well my dad is as strong as INFINITY neanderthals!" And the reply of
"That's nothing, my dad is as strong as INFINTY PLUS ONE neanderthals"
Which is where I tended to get beaten up as I tried to explain the general stupidity of the concept expressed, usually compounded by my rection to their statement of
"I'm a gonna give you an INFINITY PLUS ONE amount of beatings boy"
Yeah, you're right, probably a more truthful statement would have been:-
I usually write fifty thousand lines of code, each line completely and utterly with no meaning, run it through the checker and produce 0 defects, except for one overall defective piece of software
Completely and utterly agree, I mean hell, I could write fifty thousand lines of code, each line completely and utterly with no meaning, run it through the checker and produce 0 defects, except for one overall defective piece of software. Does this article have any point whatsoever to it at all, I mean, even if the results had any meaning, what on earth is the point of comparing a known to an unknown ?
I have a feeling there are likely to be three possibilities of what could happen:-
Advertising on the internet may die a death due to the uncertainty of whether a paid for ad will actually be shown to the end user.
Or alternatively advertisers/ web sites will feel a need to create a greater awareness of what products such as gator have the ability to do, and so have greater certainty that their ad will reach its targetted audience.
Or as you say will gator simply be THE advertising conveyers for the internet, if this happens, then I can see public awareness of what gator does increasing pretty darn quickly.
I think you'll find they're actually trying to reverse engineer Linux, and unless I'm very much mistaken, that's a fragment taken from the 2.4.0 version.
Probably was a Winmodem. No other modem should take an hour to resolve, but Winmodems can be a pain.
I think the hardest modem I ever had to get working was the Alactel speedtouch modem, giant pain in the arse I think was my general thoughts when trying to get the thing to work, though it is a great deal easier now, I still wouldn't say it was straight forward.
No clue what I was thinking really. I think that I thought that just because you are running a piece of software on a platform it was not intended to be run on, then what is the point in running the platform, seemed a fairly clueless point of view. And somewhere from that I thought about the comparison to MAME and other emulators, but overall I have a feeling that it is time to get the hell out of the office and hit the pub to regain some clarity in my thoughts.
The lack of a really top-flight office suite remains one of Linux's weak points, and it is one for which CrossOver Office isn't really a long-term solution: after all, if you're using Microsoft Office, why not use Windows as well?
Ahhh, that would explain the popularity of MAME I suppose?

Well, considering Richard Morgan is British, I am fairly sure you can find his book in your favourite local WHSmiths or even the sequel
True enough, but after the ball has bounced, the projection of the ball isn't going to be greatly altered during the next metre or so, so I would of thought the accuracy is good enough for LBW decisions.
If it wasn't for human error involved in decision making, half of all interesting conversations regarding sport would be lost. It gives the losing team's fans something to hang on to as to why they lost, rather than blaming the inadequacies of their team.
However, I personally would like to see the Hawkeye technology used in cricket, being actually used in match decisions, rather than purely a toy for the television.
Still, I can't recall a game that I haven't been addicted to without playing the demo first, e.g Uplink, System Shock 2, Sim Golf or even Rise of Nations. I mean even Mr. Driller I tried out before I bought the damn thing.
I cannot think of one game that has not been demoed, developers know that the one way to get a good game known and bought is to release a demo, well except for SS2.
Since when was a house of Lords debate an indication of anything other than the fact the members still have a pulse?Oh, I agree completely, it's just that sometimes I wonder whether the House of Lords is a debating chamber or purely a prelude to a failed attempt to join the stand up comedy circuit.
The stickers must be compulsory - otherwise I don't see why the manufacturers would put them on.
Would you rather gamble on a machine where there is an apparent "guarenteed" payout, or the machine next to it without the sticker?

Well, I guess its more humane than using my Dyson.

Yeah, it's one of those classic moments where I look back, realise what I should have said to destroy their arguements, in this case:-
"Oh yeah, well my dad is as strong as 2 to the power of infinity Neanderthals"
Though after a moment or two, I'm sure I would have still received my rightful beating

The problem is, if the House of Lords debate is any indication, the possiblity of any laws whatsoever being passed is fairly minimal.
All new technology is irrelevant until it is taken up by the public.
