    that assumes you're rich enough to have 'net access. Many eastern europeans in particular find it hard to get affordable access.

    i thought it was because neo is an acronym of one, as well as a simile for new.

    presumably thats because when they say linux thats what they mean. I'm sure their lawyers checked with their geeks.

    there are map packs (try www.rtcwfiles.com that may have some) No single player mods afaik though

    Bzzzzzzzzt no it won't Splash Damage (the development studio) say so

  14. Re:Not Ready for Prime Time on Could E-Voting Cure Voter Apathy? · · Score: 1

    Do I lose my right to vote if there's a cable cut somewhere between me and the Board of Elections? Do I lose my right to vote if my ISP has screwed up some routing table? Can a DoS attack deny my right to vote?

    you move off your ass and visit the polling station

  15. Re:Voting apathy is indeed a serious issue. on Could E-Voting Cure Voter Apathy? · · Score: 1

    Not a wasted vote really, I'm of the understanding that if you get more than 5% of votes in the US then you get certain advantages when running for president or something? If its a state that isn't closely contested then it doesn't matter if you vote for Nader, as such (i might have some of the above details wrong, i don't know the US system that well)

    gah, posted in reply to wrong person

  17. Re:30fps *is* slow on RTCW: Enemy Territory Test Released · · Score: 1

    Um no, just any FPS lower than a constant 43 sucks in a Q3 based game. The way ID made the engine certain values are better than others for jumping (off the top of my head the bottom three are 43, 76 and 127, could be wrong though)

    more fps doesn't always = better in your sense, but being able to mantain a mimimum FPS for better jumping _is_ betterin Q3 based games. FACKT

  18. Re:Going to play it soon :) on RTCW: Enemy Territory Test Released · · Score: 1

    There will be a multiplayer map released that is set in North Africa for ET MP. Afaik the X-Box game doesn't include you leading a platoon of soldiers does it? They probably just used textures and the layout but they don't use the AI and stuff that was being developed for ET SP. You've got to wonder does that really matter, they probably had these textures and layouts on the PC first anyway, and they _will_ still be coming in some shape

  19. Re:Doesn't require original RtCW? on RTCW: Enemy Territory Test Released · · Score: 1

    The final full version will not require the full version of the original RtCW. Or any version of it, or a cd-key from it etc etc

  20. Re:30fps *is* slow on RTCW: Enemy Territory Test Released · · Score: 1

    43 is one of the optimal values, so pretty much everyone should be fine...

  21. Re:Going to play it soon :) on RTCW: Enemy Territory Test Released · · Score: 1

    not really, the RtCW on X-Box has been based on RtCW, the SP of ET was a different kind of game, you controlled a squad of players

  22. Re:Going to play it soon :) on RTCW: Enemy Territory Test Released · · Score: 1

    There is no single player, multiplayer only. The single player side wasn't "progressing as expected" and was canned

  23. Re:This is only a TEST on RTCW: Enemy Territory Test Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    the final version *is* free, activision has stated this a few times, as someone whos still involved in the RtCW scene you will find this out by actually reading the official site, and many fan sites.

  24. Re:If the cops are looking, it's too late on Stash Your Hard Drive In The Attic · · Score: 1

    In Britain they'd just bring a charge of not giving the police your encryption key (only in legalese) I think the maximum prison length for this is five years. So if you've got details that will get you locked up for any longer than that...

  25. Re:I counted 42 subsidaries so far... on The FCC and Media Consolidation · · Score: 1

    For those of you that don't know BSkyB provides multichannel access to most of the UK, they only have a couple of competitors and the major one went bust earlier this year. The News Of the World is the UKs biggest selling weekly paper. I think the sun is probably the biggest selling daily as well. News Media owns way too much imo. If you don't have Rupert Murdochs support at election time then you don't get to be Prime Minister. His news outlets are vastly influential. and completely biased.
