No disrespect, but why can't you wait? Just go out and buy the game. I can understand if: A. The full game isn't out yet. B. They are releasing a new level or 2 with the demo.
But since neither is the case, what's the point?
Personally, I'm kinda' annoyed that Id no longer releases shareware or Qtest like-stuff. Not a big deal, but I guess I don't understand the lack of motivation to do this stuff anymore.
I would have suspended my disbelief for a moment longer if I didn't notice that those photos were taken on the floor of an elevator.
At least that's what it looks like to me. Would anyone actually decorate their home or office like that? Black 'raised dot' floor..aluminum trim.. Bleh....
Just thinking about this...could we not tell the mass of the liquid in a tank by shaking it slightly? The time/energy it takes to get the tank moving, combined with the momentum after turning off the shaker could probably determine how much stuff is in there.
Or another alternative...sonar...sound reflected off the contents of the tank.
Get them out of their strife and poverty and they won't want to kill us or anyone else anymore... How f*cking hard is this for TPTB to figure this out.
The path to world peace is lots of MTV, McDonalds, and Microsoft. LOL.
>>Terrorism didn't start on 9/11/01 - the IRA (Irish Republican Army) had been killing innocent British people for 20 years previously, but nobody in the US cared then, did they?
For what it's worth, I was bitching about the IRA since the mid-80's....as soon as I was old enough to understand (and had been introduced to it by a global minded history teacher in HS)..15 years old.
So not everyone in the USA was blind to what was going on. Just 99.9% of the population.
I was also bitching about Arab terrorism ever since the Beiruit Marine Barracks Bombing in 82... my family and friends (except a few) couldn't care less...they thought I was going through a phase.... for all those years.... I knew that bad things were going to start happening in the US....
After 1993 WTC and especially after 9/11 I started saying "I f*king told you so..." everyone still thought I was nuts "they can't hit here"... even though there was a 5 story hole below the WTC for all to see.... Idiots.
-1993 WTC -bomb in the battery tunnel (93) -terrorists arrested in queens mixing fertilizer bombs (94) plan to bomb the lincoln tunnel, FBI HQ and others -bomb found on plane at Newark Airport (95?) -OKC 95 (not done by arabs..unless you find it coincidence that Terry Nichols was in the Phillipines the same time as the arab that planned 9/11) -3 planes downed out of Kennedy Airport in 3 years (coincedence?)
Besides my personal experieces in the 80's hanging out with Muslim guys from Sri Lanka during college in the late 80's who told me 'more or less' that there's a growing force here in the states, getting ready to strike out. (I have since talked to the FBI about them....)
People still don't get it.... we haven't been hit again not because the bad guys can't do it... we haven't been hit again because the bad guys haven't planned to hit us since 9/11.
It's gonna' happen... I hope to god I'm wrong though.
So I guess that if in 2012 when I'm attending the 'Microsoft Olympics' in New York City, if I wear my Red Hat Baseball cap, I can expect someone from the NYC Police "atlas squad" (antiterrorism special force) to blow my head off.
and then the manager was enlightened......... and the project was outsourced to Hyderabad.
And after the requirement was communicated to India, the sweatshop^^^^^^^^offshore team then modified it to fit their available reuse components and stolen code...
How about something that doesn't rely on a heat source? Like a kind of personal sonar. You get a b&w textured view of your surroundings. Even the patterns on the walls.
Problem is that you're basicly a walking radio station... so with the right equipment you'd be picked out as surely as if you were carrying a flashlight.
So if you're driving with a cell phone, you're guilty of driving without a cellphone and guilty of driving without due care and attention.
Double the crime...double the penalty. I don't see a problem with that. MIght make someone think twice before calling their bookie while on the way to the pub....
>>Funny, I thought it was because it was too similar to "The Revenge of Khan" (which was changed to "The Wrath of Khan")
Revenge of Khan was changed because the guys at paramount were worried about colliding with Revenge of The Jedi. Paramount changed first, then Lucasfilm changed because of the "jedi's dont take revenge" flak.
I still don't understand why an OS would need 1GB of RAM..... WTF is it doing with all that memory(and processor speed)? Crunching numbers to help find a cure for cancer?
>>It's like thinking teen agers could write music and play instruments: this is impossible since music is only able to be created by advanced artists with years of training who work for large symphony orchestras.
And all these years I wondered why I felt like such a rebel when I was learning how to play bass. I was going against the establishment....
As for stealing, maybe one day the RIAA will have it such that you have to pay a royalty every time you learn how to play a new song.

Indications are that we've hit peak oil early. This is why the prices keep going up...
The media tries to explain that theres supply problem, but they say it's because of terrorism.
I suppose they don't want to freak out Jane Survivor Fan and Joe Sixpack.

I thank you for your service.
It is because of your sacrifices and the sacrifices of others like you that we have the freedom that we enjoy here in the states.
I wish you all the best in life my friend. You deserve it, and more.

The conspiracy lover in me wonders if the brass at NASA had this instrument overloaded on purpose.
They want to kill the Hubble..the pretty picture loving public wants to save it...thus it's a PR nightmare for NASA.
So they felt the need to tell us that something was wrong in an attempt to get us to say "oh well, it's broken now...go ahead and kill it".
I for one am not buying it. I think that the Hubble is alive and well and functioning fine, just like Jim Morrison, Elvis and the second gunman.

I am the psychotherapist. Please, describe your problems. Each time you are finished talking, type RET twice.
...
where is the bug?
Why do you say where is the bug?
i need to fix that bug.
What makes you believe you might want to fix?
because my program is broken.
Is it because your program is broken that you came to me?
yes.
I see... Well, are you sure that this is so?
becasue i have to fix this bug, and you're the debugger
Earlier you said you would like to fix?
yes. please tell me where the bug is
Maybe your plans have something to do with this.
true. i plan to get this system back into production as soon as i fix the bug.
Do you really think that?
yes.
Yes, hmmm... so, what makes you think this is so?
i have a responsibility to fix this program.
You mentioned that your program is broken?
yes, you do know that....don't you?
Does it bother you that do not me?
what?
Can you elaborate on that?
i think you need to elaborate.
How does it feel to want?

Define hurt.
If say some code gets onto my machine and jsut spins processor cycles..even though it's not really 'hurting' anything I still have the right to know.
Granted, I'd see the CPU spike, and I'd kill the process and track down the executable/script. But Joe Sixpack doesn't know how to do this.
