...that someone at Blizzard saw the success Westwood had with C&C: Renegade and thought 'hey, we could do that!'...after all, it's essentially the same concept: take the coolest infantry unit in your RTS game and make a shooter about it...
Still, it'd be much cheaper to get a lower-end P4B (like the 2.4B) and OC it as far as you can go with heavy air-cooling...those things can reach 3GHz+ only on air...and the price/performance gain of the overclocking would be much higher...
Frankly, I think a vapochilled P4 2.8 ought to go much higher than just 3.3...I wonder what those guys were doing...
Wow...it's great that they sound like underwater whales...now when the Probe shows up and starts destroying the Earth, we can just play back the Ganymede recordings instead of having to go back in time to find humpbacks...
I agree...cellphones are easily the world's most annoying gadgets...and it's not just the random strangers you hear yelling their heads into their cells on the bus, subway, sidewalk (and soon to be, plane). I can't number the times I've been talking to friends when suddenly a cellphone goes off and bang! no more conversation...just stand around waiting for the call to be over before you can continue talking...ordinary fixed telephones were bad enough but with these? you can be interrupted anywhere...
Ah, but a videotape won't prove that all rubberbands or topologically-rubberband-like-objects can wrap around all topologically-apple-like-objects, thus the videotape would be completely worthless, for though the rubberband in the video went around the apple, how will you be SURE the rubberband in your pocket will go around the apple in your lunchbag without the mathematical proof?

Am I the only one reading that line as "so that the public has to pay twice for the same software"?
The thing that really puts me off LCDs is the resolution scaling...as a gamer, I like to be able to play all my games at different resolutions depending on the kind of performance I can get at any particular res...not having the same visual quality at anything but geometric multiples of the native res kinda defeats the purpose...
I totally agree...anyway, how the heck could you make a website accessible to the blind??? A CRT that projects Braille dots sounds quite impossible...

Can you even imagine how hard it would be to control Quake/other FPSes using an airborne mouse? not to mention the LACK of precision provided by the slightest jitter in your hand, which would undoubtefly become more pronounced the longer you play...holding anything up for extended periods is TIRING!

if you meet the virus during distribution, kill it.

No, no...he's gonna make a distributed application that tries to figure out what an ECCp-109...

LOL...and as an added advantage, no need for internal heating...just overclock your windscreen!
