I'm still not sure if I want to go and buy this game. The fact that there hasn't been a demo version has really put me off from buying this game. Are there any plans to put up a demo server/version?
Wasn't there a ruling that prevented this kind of thing from happening? I think it was a battle of rotary telephones vs digital phones, but I can't find the case anywhere.
You're right. The main fights between us and aliens are currently taking place at reach. A shame that place will fall in August to a glassing. Oh well. Hopefully the Spartans can do something.
Hey, what about MiB? They're always stopping the world from being destroyed. Remember the recent UFO that went over the stadium?
7. Government[s] become upset at Microsoft for tying their Windows Movie Maker [WMM] to the OS.
8. Microsoft buries the Movie Maker deep inside the OS, purposefully glomming the two together [as Windows Digital Media Content Creation Edition] so that they cannot be extricated.
9. Microsoft and its apologists announce that it is impossible, unfair and unreasonable to debundle their media player from their OS, because the Movie Maker is a part of the operating system and that "security holes in the program require the Movie Maker 2 update."
I mean its the next logical step right? Especially if WMM becomes as powerful as Avid or Premier. (Sure macs I know are better, but with this recent OSX on Intel stuff we'll be seeing Final Cut Pro on the PC soon enough.)
Perhaps we should let Leo and the other TSSers know about this and see if they can't get a show going on this channel. Although it probably won't be called The BLEEP BLEEPERS
There aint no way I'm letting SP2 on my machines. That's why I always leave automatic updates turned OFF. If I can't get sercurity updates anymore, so be it. I've got software that is incompatible with SP2 (doesn't work at all) and versions that were fixed added features that made the products worse than before. (Divx 5.11 is much better than Divx 5.2, much more pixelation appeared in that version than earlier versions.)
With Firefox, you should consider downloading the Adblock extension. That will pretty much block any advertising blockups. I haven't gotten any since i installed this huge multi-hundred line code.
As far as I can gather, here's the full breakdown of the plan
Standard fee for renting the item
If after 8th day account charged full
however if you return it before 30 days from renting, you are charged only 1.25 restocking
So basically for an extra $1.25 you can rent something for a whole month, but if you aren't careful, you'll get slapped for full price.
Bad wording, but the plan does make sense
My grandfather unfortuntately is out of options. He's done with Chemo and the cancer is still there. He has no options left except to live out what little time there is left. But if this really does help cure the cancer. I think he just might consider trying HIV instead of cancer.
They should consider contacting the group that headed up the Farscape project. They got 4 more hours.
All I keep seeing is complaining

Well remember people, Leo Laporte is NOT gone. He's up in canada. And I suggest you all get your bit torrent clients read and start downloading episodes which are located at http://derekrodgers.uni.cc/callforhelp/
server is having a little trouble lately tho but check us out in chat, maybe someone has the.torrents...its really the only thing left of the old tech tv.
Alienware. If we can get those guys to install trackpoint mice onto their laptops for us IBMers, we could have the same IBM power we've come to expect, and possibly even more given that with them we have come to expect from IBM...except their recent supid decision to loose graphics cards and go with integrated graphics instead (BOO! My 32mb ATI Mobility 7500 on my A31 which is being reformatted weekly now is better than my new G40s 64mb Intel extreme)
I've never minded lugging an 8 pounder to class, nor have I had problems using it on my lap, so how much different can alienware be?
(sorry X and T users, Alienware is unfortunately designed as desktop replacements)
Since LOTR, the only movie I've seen in theaters is I Robot. In fact, most of the time I find myself going to theaters only if its on the big IMAX screen I got near by, as I know that I'll be seeing regular sized movies on HBO within a year, and when that happens, I turn on my ATI AIW for capturing if I really want to, and then I spit that out to VCD or DVD for watching on my HDTV. Movies? those aren't my taste for downloads. Its stuff that's legal I go for, or stuff that companies turn blind eyes to, like fansubs of anime until it's licensed that I'll go for.
No matter what, Even if its off campus at a seminary, even if they charge more for it, GET A SINGLE! It'll save you a lot of headaches later on.
As for laptops, for me, I've had no problems with it except for a few accidental drops from the desk to the floor, and trust me IBM Thinkpads are built like tanks. I've got an old A31, and while I did loose a USB port on it somehow, it still works, and I've chipped this thing more times than I can count.
As for security, I've got just the solution for you. There's actually a company called Computrace (http://www.computrace.com/) It will help you track down a stolen laptop. The way it works is it installs itself in a way so that not even an Fdisk can get rid of it. What happens is when a laptop is reported stolen, a flag is placed in the datacenter. When the laptop is connected to the internet, it silently reports back home, and gives information that allows the theif to be caught. While I can't say that i've had my laptop stolen, I'm glad to know that if it is ever stolen, I just put in a call and they go to work on recovering it.

You're late by 3 seasons.
He stole a wireless connection while he did that. Just like that guy who sat in his van outside that guy's house.

Play the JP version instead for now. There are many problems with the system and its been down for hours now. http://psobb.jp/

If you look at the source, the images aren't coming from the MPAA's site as well. http://t1.extreme-dm.com/i.gif
Planet of the Apes anyone?

Look about a third from the right and a third up in the shadowy area. Is that a dragon head I see?
