Some people believe you have to fake yourself to get a girlfriend/wife. He is a sloppy person and would only be clean if he felt he is getting something out of the deal...
Not that it's bad or anything, some people like to look nice, and some people dont care.
Or maybe he is a male chuavinist pig... but I try to see the best in people and hope he's just a sloppy loser.
If you dont think it will affect gameplay you really need to watch some of the videos. At one point he gets into a huge workable crane, picks up a shipping container, and drops it on some enemies... watching him cruise around the beach running into gaurds and firing his mounted turret while flying over hills and crashing through barrels also feels like a change in gameplay to me =)
From what I've seen of Half Life 2 in the movies that have come out... it seems to be leaping and bounding quite a bit. I went downstairs to show my mom how the models moved... and I was at a loss, becuase they just move like PEOPLE. It's nuts what the Source engine can do.
As an example - if someone made a car that looked very much like a Jaguar, but cost a third as much and had more commodity parts under the hood, and started selling it as the Panther. That's very obviously wrong, and even those theme-makers will probably agree.
I disagree. Since it has lesser parts in it, the consumer is getting what they pay for. If all they want is a car that looks nice, then why should they have to go spend all that money on the Jaguar when all they want is a nice looking A to B car?
I really hope that firefly gets the awards it has been nominated for! I am so ticked off at Fox for cancelling such a great show. I want them to win not only to validate the work that the cast and crew of the show did, but also to give a little kick in the butt to the fox execs who stole Firefly from us.
How old are you? Is it possible that you knew doctors and such when there werent cell phones/pagers and the like? Isnt it possible that with the advent of these new technologies the requirements for being on call have lengthened? Just a thought, since it was my understanding that they are basically on call for exetreme emergencies 24/7.

It can mean readily apparent or visible... sort of like the word obviously. Dont assume the poster meant it was the third definition, thats just an annoying 'common use' meaning.
Um, WTF. You're missing the point of DVDs. Having your own copy of a movie at home is better than all those previous methods becuase I get to decide when and where I want to watch it. If a friend comes over who hasnt seen it I can just pop it in and we can watch it... in any room of my house! DVDs are superior to VHS for me becuase it's easier to get where I want to in the movie, there is no rewinding, and they look better. Plus pausing is nicer and I can zoom and such. Oh yeah! Almost forgot! I can watch the DVD as many times as I want, something I can't do with the movie theatre, cable, or VHS (VHS tapes wear out after many watchings). So DVDs are really nice for people who like to decide when they want to watch the movie (and cheaper if you're talking about watching the movie with your family!).
I for one enjoy the movie more if everyone in the audience is participating. It makes the movie a lot more fun if the hero makes a pun and everyone groans or if they joke and everyone laughs, or if there is something suprising happens and everyone gasps. Going to the movies with a good audience only enhances the expierence. I would imagine I'd feel rather uncomfortable if something really funny happened and no one laughed.
Are you honestly suggesting we should restrict our medical/religious/government officials from going to the theatre? The doctor (and usually the other two) requires some serious hardwork to do and now you want to punish them by telling them not to go to certain places??? Brilliant.

I tried using Mozilla and Opera. I found they didnt work as well as IE except in a few special circumstances. I tried converting to Mozilla for the longest time, and gave up two or three weeks ago. IE just seems to work better.
That makes me think we'd either have the Japanese and poorly learned english of Japan, or the poorly learned english and slang ridden spanish of the mexicans here (california). Those are the only two examples I can think of where they try to speak two languages at a time. It seems to not work so well... we should all just speak one language. Though thats happening already. Its just a matter of time before the effeciency and ease of having a world wide language or two and almost no others naturally just happens.
Buy a Logitech MX700 mouse. I have two of them in my house and they work EXCELLENTLY. Not only do they work great, but they have a dock that you can charge them on. So as long as you remember to stick it on the charger once every few days, it's a great mouse.
Oh, and it only takes one time forgetting to charge it to learn your lesson =)
They can collude, conspire, or whatever. I don't care.
This is a horrible idea! You are saying that you dont mind if companies conspire to all set prices higher??? That means car companies could all agree to jack up the cost of all thier cars 20,000$. Or all the gas stations could charge more. Or any other product or service could skyrocket in price and you'd have no means of recourse!!! These types of laws stop monopolies and cartels. We would be so screwed if companies were allowed to price fix.
Hell yeah it does! I hate to admit it, but I live here in California and can drive better as a 17 year old with parents who grew up in Buffalo than most of the people here. I was driving down our incredibly overcrowded high way a few days ago and we had a hard rain, I saw two unrelated accidents within a quarter mile!
People here CAN NOT drive.
Ugh, true, I did. Thanks for pointing out my imprecise addendum. What I meant to say was I didnt mean that it was my opinion that the conclusion they reached was a good one... or something like that... I dont know... Im tired =/

Yeah, lets hope they dont get the idea to start attaching expolsives to some sort of launch vehicle like a rocket or something... the horror!

I remember hearing about confusopolies on the Dilbert tapes called 'The Dilbert Principle'
They were funny as hell, made at least one plane ride go by faster. Scott Adams is a seriously funny man.

I feel I must have failed as a geek.

You are trying to expose the problem by becoming part of it and making it bigger?
Gee, your powers of logic and reasoning astound me.

Um, no, it's Abu. Apu is a quickie-mart clerk in the simpsons. Remember? The monkey? From Alladin?
