    Wait, was he the plant manager? If so, then, yes, he should be held criminally accountable. If not, then wtf is he charged for?

    The Carbon dioxide is much more concentrated on Mars than on Earth. It would take a lot longer to get enough for fuel, and you would need more propellant to overcome Earth's larger gravity.

  6. Re:silly question on Intel Quietly Adopts AMD's x86-64 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes. At least with AMD's implementation. I am not sure about Intel's. AMD64 runs x86-32 natively. IIRC there are two modes (one mode has 2 submodes). There is legacy mode, which is pure 32 bit x86 with standard registers, and then there is long mode which can either operate in legacy submode, which can run 64 bit code or 32 bit code, but is limited to 32 bit address space and registers, And then there is 64-bit mode which runs 64 bit code with all the added registers, but cannot run 32bit code.

  7. Re:You're wrong. on Valve Cracks Down on 20,000 Users · · Score: 1

    Did you ever let anyone borrow your cd to play HL?
    If so, odds are someone had it on their computer when they got steam before you did, using your cd key.
    If not, there was a cd key generator that worked with WON, but only one person using any one key could be online at a time. Whoever got the steam account first using it is probably pretty proud of himself. Thems the breaks.
    Get the hl2 silver package from steam and you'll get all the old hl stuff
    (back catalog offered with steam gold and steam silver packages),
    and all the new source stuff. Sure its 60 bucks for silver, but its worth the investment. HL1 came out how long ago? and people are still using it to play mods like DoD and NS.
    I paid 40 bucks for it in 1998 after playing the demo that came with my Aureal Monster Sound Card, and have been playing it and its mods ever since.
    DoD is going to be ported over to steam, and there is talk that the makers of NS will port it over as well (its a third party mod).

    They shut down the WON servers about 2 months after they got steam working properly. Get a steam installer and use your cd key from your original HL disk to play. Valve doesnt owe you for your own stupidity and ignorance.

    Actually, there is an HL2DM mod in the works.

  14. Re:Whats wrong? on New Video Game Recreates Kennedy Assassination · · Score: 1

    I voted for Bush, and I think the idea of assasination history games has potential from an educational standpoint. Why stop here? Why not add other famous presidents and presidential candidates? Why not add attempted assasinations that didn't work out? Reagan, RFK, Lincoln, McKinley, et al. were all targetted, and some were killed. People should learn about these incidents as well.

    Should we organize a boycott of SBC in its coverage areas? They will have trouble staying in business if all their customers use 3rd party local providers (sure they still get the last mile fees, but that is drops in a bucket compared to calling plans sold directly to consumers).

    And include th standard 100 dollar check for reelection campaign, plus 50 dollar checks for key staff members (chief of staff, legislative director, the Legislative Assistant for tech issues). Anything over 50 for a staff member is illegal.

Of course, it actually has an atmosphere inside its cockpit (unlike the TIE series), and has a top light ion turret.
